l.ct The Government lease The Poor
land
In Responcc to a form letter sent
cut from Washington. D. C.. asking
lor suggestions, as to the Agricul
tural problem. I submit the (Follow
ing plan, as one method of helping
e situation, and that could not con
flict with the constitution.
In spite of all other conditions that
night effect results, the fact re-
i that people who live on rich
land are better off than those who
live cm poor land.
I have no doubt that even now,
m spite of gullies, etc., there is
enough rich land, or good land, to
supply the nation with all its needs,
and much more that could be ex
ported. Many acres of our good land
: of cultivation
creeks and rivers for Jack of flood
con troll.
The thing mest needed in handling
this agricultural problem is a closer
contact between the Government
and the individual farmer.
Now this cld poor land that should
not be in cultivation under present
conditions, would be counted a God
send to China or Japan, and is more
valuable than any thing that Italy
is now fighting for. If It was all in
easy reach of John L oll he would
have the ttiglidi flag flying over It
tomorrow, If no body was looking.
It. and its products will bo needed
in thlo old U. & A. within one
hundred years.
fcglond Is a great nation, because
the bglWMMa at today, Is always
planning for the Ihgland of tomor
row.
Wby eaat the U. S. Government
say to the Individual fanner If you
will restrict your farming to your
best land, wo wQl knso this old
poor port far fifty years for the use
of the land and for the timber that
will grew on H. Wo will pay you a
fair rent for it If you keep fire out
of it, we srfll pay you a little better
rent If you plant it in trees under
our supervision, we will pay you a |
still better rent and if at any time!
within the period of this lease, you
wish to recover the con troll of the
land you can pay back the money
you have received with small inter
est charges.
In this pine belt country the Gov
ernment would make big money on
the trade from the timber that
would occupy the land almost with
out any help. The farmer would
have a cash income from land that
he lias earned for years at a loss,
this idle land paying part or all his
taxes. The farmer would have an
active interest in the leased land, for
eventually it would come back to
him. It would be cooperation at the
least cost, and at the least risk. Step
erosion where the water first falls
the ground, and on as many
farms as possible. Every detail of
this plan can be worked out, and it
would be self liquidating.
I know from actual experience
that without seeing the trees, or en
courage them, that within forty to
fifty years, old fields have produced
timber worth over one hundred dol
lars per acre.
