During the years 1917. l3lS and
1919 we had a period of comparative
prosperity in the South during which
both the landowner and tenant classes
made more money than they ever
dreamed of. Many, however. never
having seen a 500 bill before had 10

money without thought of the nor-

Acreage Reduction.

present price is doubled. Yet they
must somehow do this if better prices
are to be hoped for.
What the South needs is steady
price for cotton which will allow a
fair return to the landowner and de-
cent wages to the tenant. At the

must buy for crop making purposes,

on the cotton land, therefore, to cover
interest, repairs and taxes would be
not less than $25 per acre. The land
