LAND OWNERS’ INSISTENCE ON CASH CROP
IS LARGELY RESPONSIBLE FOR SITUATION
. By Walter, C. Taylor
Business, to be sound, must be
based upon the principle of Fair
Play. |
Debtor and lender must benefit by
the deal. :
It is evident that the solution of
the grave farm problem in Georgia is
a “Live at Home Plan,” one which
will enable the farmer to present a
full smoke house, over-flowing milk
pails, and a well-stored crib in times
of stress. The state still fails by a
wide margin to raise enough to fill its
larder. We shall spend this autumn!
millions of dollars abroad for food
that could and should have been rais-‘
ed on Georgia farms. Acres of food
stuffe, herds of cows, pens of pork,
are bulwarks of defense affording a
sense of security in times of stress.
But the problem lies deeper.
How can this be done under the
present system of land tenure in
Georgia? $
Sixty-five percent of our Georgia
farmers are tenants. The landlord’s
will is their will and what he wants
and only what he wants is produced
on these farms.
And what he wants is the ‘“money
crop.” Statistics compiled by the of
fice of the farm management in the
Department of Agriculture shows
that high percentages of “cash crops”
are found on tenant farms. The

GEORGIA—Ben Hill County
Office of the Clerk of Superior Court
of Ben Hill County. -
1, David L. Paulk, Clerk of the Su
perior Court of Ben Hill County,
hereby certify that the foregoing is
a true and correct copy of the appli
cation for charter, as thé same ap
pears on file in this office.
The Ist day of December, 1926.
DAVID L. PAULK,
Clerk of Superior Court,
Ben Hill County, Georgia.
THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE AND PRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1926
land ownmer is interested in his rent;
he seeks only credit and immediate
sale; he does not want to live at home.
As a result we have a decrease in
land values. Tenancy has been de
scribed as a “conspiracy between the
owner and the tenant to rob the
land.” The tenant having a lease
of short duration, has no incentive to
‘preserve the quality of the land, but
’on the contrary attempts to extract
from it as much of the plant food as
possible. He is not allowed to ro
tate and diversify his crops, with the
result that once fertile soil is fast
becoming a devastated waste. It is
not to the interest of the short-sight
ed land owner to prevent this; the
tenant seeks only to -get the maxi
mum return from the land and move
on.
The permanent tenant is a thing
unknown. Under the present system
of land tenure stability is being re
duced. Finding only the possibili
ty of a pay check in the land which
might, under different conditions, af
ford him a livelihood and an abiding
interest in the community, the tenant
farmer becomes a tramp, moving re
gardless of the detriment to himself
or the general good, from one farm
to another. His sense of responsi
bility and initiative are minimized.
‘The possibility of planning his work
over a perod of years as a farmer
lmust do if he is to attain a high de
gree of success, is lessened.
One of the best systems of gen
eral farming in the world has been
developed in England, where 990 per
cent of the land is operated by ten
ants, each being given a reasonable
assurance of permanent tenure, the
privilege of raising more than one
crop, and a claim for compensation!
for any improvement he has made
in the land, the benefits of which re
main at the expiration of his tenancy.
While tenants begin to become
farm owners; or tenants who are en
couraged to remain on the same farm
for many years, so that they can culti
vate a part of the land for their own
sustenance and at the same time put
something back into the soil, then
will the Georgia farmers have meri
ted the confidence pleaced in them by
the bankers of the satte; then and
then only shall we have prosperity
within our gates.
NOTICE TO PUBLIC
We again give notice that no bills
will be paid against the county un
less accompanied by written order
from some one of our commissioners
and such written order must accom
pany the bill before it will be con
sidered.
All bills must be presented to our
Clerk, Mr. F. R. Justice, by the Bth
of the month or go over to the next
meeting. ; |
Ben Hill County Commissioners,
2t F R. Justice, Clerk.
