NEW CONTRACT
AID^ENANT
Control Plan To Include Rental
and Benefit Payments for
Grower of 1934 Crop.
Washington, Nov. 2t.—Clauaes have
been written into the farm adminis
trations cotton contracts for 1934
A
which officials feel will give protec
tion to tenants and assure them an
equitable division of government rent
al and benefit payments.
The administration aim^i at the re
duction of cotton acreage next year
to 25,000,000. In return for the agree
ment to curtail planting on land taken !
out of cultivation and a guarantee
that a part of the yield will be sold
at parity prices.
The ^principal points in the discus
sions of the cotton contract have been
in the division of the payments and
w'hat measures shouHd be taken to
protect tenants who otherwi.se might
be forceJl)ffTarms.
Approximately 15,000,000 acres of
land ordinarily planted to cotton will
be given over to other usse next year
if the farm administration’s Campaign
succeeds. Thousands of tenants who
would othwise cultivate the staple
faced the prospect that landlords
would have no use for their services.
I^andowners who sign the cotton
contract will agree to keep the num
ber of tenants they had last year, if
that i.s po-ssible.
If not, the government will obligate
the landlord to permit tenants, who
are living on his place and unable to
find land elsewhere, to remain in the
house they occupy.
The government—since it is paying
rent for land taken out of cotton cul
tivation—may turn this over to for
mer tenants ^Arho find themselves with
a house bjiit no land. The contract is
worded so that the landlord ts to fur
nish equipment so sharecroppers may
raise food for their own subsistence.
The landowner also is obligated to
make other supplies, wood for exam
ple, available to the former tenants
for whom he has no cotton land.
In return, the tenant must agree
not to make a nuisance, of himself. If
