Landlor- Tenant Cooperation

LGndIOT-Tenun Cooperation
DR.. j. R. Otis, State leader for
Extension work among colored far
mers in Alabama, reports that the
farm and home agents in his state
have launched a program for de-
veloping closer cooperation be-
tween landlords and tenants.
DR.. Otis points out that So per
cent of all farmers in Alabama are
tenants. (Among Negro farmers, Is
percent are tenants.) He believes
that lasting improvements in soil
building and maintenance as well
as in better methods of manage
ment can come only through closer
working relations between tenant
and landlord. Says he, There is
much work to be done in educating
both landlord and tenant as to the
Importance of this working rela-
tionship in order that they may
both profit from it."
DR.. Otis suggests that tenants
who hold leases for five years or
longer should not hesitate to plant
winter legumes for soil building
ITO seed clover and grasses for ne
cessary feed for livestock that will
give better balance to the business
of farming.

Cotton Production

Cotton Production
A 1915 cotton crop of the U. S.
of 10,O26,0O0 bales of 500 pounds
gross weight is forecast by the
Crop Reporting Board, based upon
information as of September l..
This is 100000 bales less than in
1914, and 2,267 900 bales below the
l0-year (1934-43) average produc-
ton. An indicated yield of 1872
pounds of lint per acre compares
with 1885 pounds of the 1914 crop
and the 1o-year average of 231.o
pounds Abandonment of cotton
cultivation of July l, estimated at
19 percent is about equal to the 10
year average, and leaves total of
18, 100000 acres for harvest. This is
10 percent less than the acreage
harvested in 1914 and is smaller
than in any year since 1885.

REA To Serve More Farmers
Expansion of the Rural Electdi-
fication programs will create more
jobs and make electricity available
to nearly four million additional
rural consumers, says Claude r.
Wickard, REA administrator.
Wickard says that the relaxation
of government control over the
sale of seel, copper and aluminium
is stimulating electrical construc-
ton by REA borrowers. He points
out that Congress has appropriated
200 million dollars to be loaned tc
REA borrowers this year. In addi-
ton, 100 million dollaers previously
allotted to borrowers will be spent
also. The expenditure of these
funds for electrical construction
will provide jobs for thousands OF
veterans and formed war workers
says the REA administrator.
AS a result of the installation OF
electricity in their homes and farm
buildings, farmers will be in the
market for radios, electric refrig-
orators, milking machines, brood
ers, motors, pumps, and other sup.
plies, Wickard indicates He points
out that within five years it should
be possible to bring electricity tc
3,655,000 additional rural consum.
ers.

Farm, Employment

Farm Employment
Noao On UpsUi1ag
For the first time since Febru-
airy, 1914, farm employment on Au-
gust l did not show decrease in
comparison with employment fig
ures for the same date a year
earlier. The number of persons
employed on farms on August /
totaled 1O,612,0Oo, about the same
as a year ago, but eight percent
less than the 1935-39 average.
The increase in family workers
were sufficient to ffset the de-
crease in hired workers. This lev
cling of the downward trend of
persons employed on farms may
be temporary, but with present
conditions pointing to an early
release Of substantial number Of
war workers, plus an increased
rate of military discharges. it is
possible that the declining trend
in farm workers may soon be

The Agricultural
Front

Farmers will not only be bene-
fitted by full industrial employ
ment, but also they can make a
substantial contribution toward its
achievement, Secretary of Agri-
culture Clinton P. Anderson point
ed out at recent Senate hearing
on the proposed Full Employment
Act of 1915.
Said the Secretary: Farmers can
not be prosperous unless our total
economy is prosperous. When ur-
ban people have jobs and are max
ing good incomes, they buy more
clothes which come from wool and
cotton; they eat more fruit, meat
and vegetables, drink more milk,
and even smoke more cigarettes
than when they are unemployed
or working only part time
Continuing, Secretary Anderson
said: "The Bureau of Agricultural
Economics in the Department of
Agriculture is currently analysing
the relationship between various
levels of postwar employment and
agricultural conditions. A recent
bulletin issued by the Department
indicates that the income of Anne
rican farmers in the postwar years
will depend more upon the level
of, business activity and non-farm
employment than upon anything
else"
The Secretary pointed out that
farmers also could make a positive
contribution toward full employ
ment. He said that by continuing
to produce at capacity levels farm
ers would not only provide en-
ployment for themselves, but also
would help provide the greatest
possible amount of work for those
mployed in industries which pro-
cess, transport, and distribute ag-
ricutural products.
Secretary Anderson said that an
other way farmers could contribute
to full employment would be
through the wise spending of mon
ey saved during the war. Recent
estimates indicate that farmers
cash and liquid reserves are about
Is billion dollars, an all-time high.
He pointed out that farmers would
be buying farm machinery, electrl-
cal equipment, household furnish
ings, clothing, and would repair
farm homes and farm buildings, or
build new ones.
