Land owners VINO have renters
or share croppers on their land vii.
make a serious and very costly
mistake if they fail to do every
thing possible to keep thea on the
land by assisting them to readjust
their farming program to meet boil
weevil conditions. The average
tenant or share cropper who has
heretofore been required by his
:snolord to farm on a cotton basis
so as to be able to pay rent in cot
ton or cash is not now in a position
to carry on without assistance. If
they are forced out of business by
boil weevil conditions and the
ahort-sighted and unsympathetic
attitude of his landlord, the land
will be idle and will become lia-
bility instead Of an asset to the
owner. The landlord who coldly
tells his tenant that he will not ex-
tend a. helping hand, that as he
has failed to pay the rent in full
this year there is no hope in the
future and he had better get off the
place and shift for himself, is do
ing exactly the thing that will
make his lands valueless. Farm
lands and the labor to make them
productive together constitute al
most the only wealth producing re-
source Of the county. If the labor
is driven away the very founda-
tioa Of our hope for the recreation
of prosperity will be destroyed. The
land owners will find it easier and
cheaper to keep the present tenants
than to fnh others.
