Page Says Legislation Not
Needed.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Oct. 1.—Legisla
tion is not needed to reduce the
cotton acreage to a minimum,
according to John H. Page,
State Commissioner of Agricul
ture. He believes that it is in
the power of the landlord, the
general merchant and the
small banker to control the sit
uation and do more than any
law.
I “We have between 110,000 and
120,000 tenants on small farms
in Arkansas”, states Commis
sioner Page, “who have been re
quired to plant a sufficient a
: mount of cotton to insure the
‘rent before the landlord will
permit them to occupy the
place. Then the merchant who
supplies this planter requires
him to plant a certain amount of
cotton to insure the payment of
his bill. The small banker re
quires the merchant to have cot
ton contracts before he will
grant him a line of credit. All
we have to do is to get these men
to change to diversified farming
to make this class of farmers
self supporting. This will make
a reduction of over fifty per
cent of the cotton growing land
in cfafp
“Another twenty-five per cent
of the cotton lands of Arkansas
is owned by farmers who have
their places incumbered. The
bankers require them to raise
cotton in order to insure the in
terest and payments. They
could just as easily require stock
and grain.
“The balance of the lands in
the cotton section are owned by
men who are independent of
merchants or banks, and they
can plant what they want, but
if you w'ill check them over you
will find they grow7 very little
cotton any way
“When the men I have men
tioned change their specifica
tions for farming, and give the
tenant land on which to make a
living, instead of planting it all
in cotton, then will Arkansas
become one of the most prosper
ous states in the Union.”
