* COSTING COTTON TENANT. *
* '
* e * * * * *** S ** *
Certainly the south Is at the part
ing of the ways In its cotton growing
policy.i It is face to face with the di
lemma of curtailing acreage and dis
lodging ites tenantry, or of keeping on
growing cotton 'at a price which must
bankrupt many who even this year are
selling at less than the cost of pro
duetion.
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.
