Cotton Contracts Protect Tenants From Eviction ; Landowners Required .To Protect Them Share Croppers to Be Allowed To Stay On Land And Use It In Own Produce. Protection for tenants on cotton farms who might be evicted when 15,000,000 acres of land ordinarily planted to cotton are given over to other uses next year has been writ ten into the farm administration’s contracts for 1934. Landowners who sign the contract will agree to keep the same number of tenants they had last year, if possible. If this is not possible, the gov ernment will obligate' the landlord to permit tenants living on his place and unable to find land else where to remain in the house they occupy. Guarantee To Growers The administration aims at the reduction of cotton acreage next year to 25,000,000. In return for the agreement to curtail planting pf the staple, growers are to receive rent al payments on land taken out of cultivation and a guarantee that a part of the yield will be sold at parity prices. The principal points in the dis cussions of the cotton contracts have been the division of the pay ments and what measures should be taken to protect tenants who otherwise might be forced off farms. A Break For Tenants ..The government—since it is pay ing rent for land taken out, of cot ton cultivation-may turn this over to former tenants who find them selves with a house but no land. The contract is worded so that the landlord is to furnish equipment so that share-croppers may raise food for their own subsistence. The land owner also is obligated to make other supplies, wood for ex ample, available to the former ten ants for whom he has no cotton land. Tenants Must Behave In return, the tenant must agree not to make a nuisance of himself. If he does, the landowner may force him to move. Officials said today that the con tract was flexible enough to take care of unusual situations and that adjustments could be made by lo cal committees named to assist in carrying out the campaign. The government will stipulate that the land which formerly grew cotton must not be used for any of the basic commodities nam ed in the farm act if the yield is to be sold commercially. The seven basic commodities, in addition ^o cotton, are hogs, corn, wheat, rice, tobacco and dairy pro ducts Lions Would Correct House Number Style Beginning with the next week or ten days, members of the Lions c'ub will make a canvas' of the city in an effort to place correct numbers on all homes in Shelby. Many homes are incorrectly numbered now, J. W. Osborne, president of the club, said yesterday. The ^fort to correct the numbers is being made in connection wltn the publication of a city directory by the club.
