Tugwell said, “to have the resettle

part of agricultural adju.st ment, and
it has to dtr almost exclusively with

The plan calls for the administra
tion to buy laml and resell it to the
tenants under a long fei^ agreement.
The agreement, Tugwell said, probab
ly would run not more than 40 years.
In some cases, tenants would be sold
the land they now are cultivating. In
others, they might be given an op
portunity to move to some • nearby _
farm.
Farnis sold to the tenants would
