Under existing conditions the south will stand to lose In. any case. It must smake up its mind which is the less of two evils, so long as the Eu ropean war lasts. There are probably between 600,000 and 750,000 tenant farms whose principal crop is cotton. These are mainly negro tenants, but many are whites, who know how to grow cotton, but ,have little experi ence with any other crop. They rep resent probably 3,000,000 people affan element in the rural population. Shall these useful occupants of the soil be dislodged and added to the urban groups, where their service an earn ing power will probably be reduend by more than half its, rural- value? If so, not only must the income of this large body be reduced, but their st andard of living be seriously impair ed. So big a shIft will mean much incereaise In indlolence and, therefore, In crimie. It is easy to say, "Glrowv corn or something else."~ But that' some!.hing else caninot 1be learned be tween seasons, It wfll be years he fore the small farm teant, wvhite or black, hbeomes na good at mixed farm ing as lie is at cotton farming. lo is too- valuable an asset to sacrifico to a temporary condition, and the pCo plo who are leaders in the matter will do well to take thougit of the con sequences of weakening his hold on the soil by any tendency to make the conditions of his tenure needlessly burdensome. Tho cotton situation calls for calm, courageous thinking. Let the big plantation owners (o the curtailing if there is to be any drastic cut. To force the big end of the load upon the cot ton growing tenantry will be suicidal. Let landlords come to see that it is a tine for them to get under the burden, rather than to deprive the cotton belt of its main producing power for all future years.-Wail Street Journal.
