MANY FINE FARMS
WON'T BE WORKED
j. D. Block Says Conditions in Bot
tom Counties Are Bad.

(From Thursdays Daily Press)
j. D. Block returned last night
from a business trip to Wynne and
Memphis, and in conversation with
a representative of The Press today
he stated conditions in some of the
bottom counties, especially Critten-
den county, are exceedingly bad and
that thousands of acres of fine land
will remain idle this year for the
reason that the owners have not
the means to finance the negroes to
work the farms. The overflows of
1912 and 1913, followed by the
collapse of the cotton market in
1914, have combined to nearly ruin
The Memphis commission firms are
carrying all the accounts they can
afford to carry and are not in pO-
sitiOn to make many additional ad-
vances for the 1915 crops. Mr..
Block says he was informed that
perhaps not more than fifty per
cent of the plantations will be un-
der cultivation this year and that
thousands of acres of land that
heretofore brought 81 per acre rent
al will not be worked at all. He
says conditions in Greene and Clay
counties are far ahead of those in
the bottom counties and that the
farmers in this section ought to pat
themselves on the back and be
thankful they do not face the sit
uation that confronts the farmers
in the exclusive cotton counties.
