The Crop Yield Should Bear a Cio se Relation to the Rent Per Acre. -- V ~ ~ k - lit:r : t ~ The Crop Yield Should Bear a Clo se Relartion to the Rent Per Acre, (Prepared by the U'nited States Depart- I ment of Agriculture.) e Thomas Kashrent greeted his land lord. John Acreowner, in the Kashrent h kitchen. The visitor took the chair proffered and filled his pipe. "Thomas," sail he, when their pipes were well alight, "I want to get you thinking over an idea tlhat I picked up the other day from a bulletin sent out to me by the United States Depart- ti ment of Agriculture. It's male up by the ,ffice of farm management andti its subject matter is of interest to us tl both. The title is, 'The Farm Lease Contract.' "Now." he continued. "I'd be a pret ty poor Judge of humin nature If 1 dlidn't know that you're feeling a little if blue over that cash-rent contract you signed with me last fall. You realize at that there are changed conditions, at since we made out that lease, that will make it hard for you to pay cash -aWl you're one of those men whose woa I s as good as his bond. Neither of us knew when we signed that pa per that grain and other farm produce fa were going to take the tumble they have taken, but it doesn't alter the m fact that our contract, as it stands, m is hard on you." Farmer Hard Hit. "Prices certainly dropped." agreed Kashrent, with a regretful sigh. "They slumped before I had a chance to haul what I Intended to sell. All things considered. I'd have been better off if G we'd taken the farm on shares Instead of on a c:sh basis." The landlord nodded understanmling ly. "I'm not here to tell you that I'll pF reduce your rent materially, nor am I going to offer to change the present contract for a contract on the share basis, but I'm going to propose some thing that is the next thing to It. I'm going to try to show you that I appre ciate a good, honest tenant. In case grain is up again by fall you may he pit able to pay the agreed cash and still set make a fair profit. Besides, my own plt expend'nt ares are more or less fixd tin and I must have cash to meet them to with, but I'm going to see if I can't help you to help me by meeting you , half-way. "What do you think of aldding a TI clause to the contract whereby you tal will be given the option of paying me foi in terms of bushels of corn, oats. or wheat? This Farmers' Bulletin I fa spoke of tells about similar arrange- ri meets which southern farm owners set and tenants have put into practice. su A good hit of cotton land is rented on a basis such that the tenant pays so many hales, or so many pounds of Fa cotton, for the use of the land for a year. The amount of the rent is close- a ly related, or should he, to the value of the produce which the tenant is usv able to raise-that's why farmers and landlords find dlfficulty in fixing the tol rent every year. They're trying to put a value on a crop that Isn't out of the ground yet, you see. If you agree tht to pay me so many bushels of grain Instead of a fixed amount in dollars and cents, Ill be taking my chance es along withl you and our good and had dir y,ears will run along together. What ste do you think of the idea?" tio "I believe we can come to an a oe'- ott ment, Mr. Acreowner-one that will ant be just to both of us. If the terms bet are right you'll stand a chance of get- tio ting a little more than your original of rent to compensate for taking a share apl In the risk that I most carry alone now. That's fair. How can we figure C( It out?" "Let's suppose that it takes .~I) -0i bushels of grain to pay the cash rent under average conditions. Now sup pose we add 10 per cent to cover my risk of a further drop In prices. We , I "'an hit an average by going over the ma records for a few years back and fig- aid uring from them just how many bush- wil els had to be sold each year to bring On in the amount of the rent In cash. sly Here are some figures I worked out of last evening-they show the average in portion of the corn crop that was lut needed to pay the cash rent over a 10- a year period." t He handed his tenant a sheet to figpres that looked much like this: b Bushels e of corn It Price at Cash took to Toear. which, rent per pay the the corn acre in cash rent emold. * corn. on an acre. 2911 ............

To relieve me from the necessity of making cash pay- 1 ments you're willing to take the value mu in corn with an additional 10 per cent me to cover your liabilities if the price vej goes away down? Is that It? Then I'd be renting the land from you for about 7 bushels of corn for each acre? I I_' take you up if that's true. Why, faI look, man! It took nearly 11 bushels yle to pay the rent on an acre last year- the by your own figures!" "Lets hope that was an exceptional year," miled Aereowner. "Anyway, '11 come out all right nla the long rua." B' They had msay queseiom to deide eld bkea the mattr wasu melly mtla. IU They had to agree whether or not the entire rent was to be settled In terms of corn, or whether other crops should have a share. They decided the mat ter of the quality of the corn that Mr. Kashrent was to bring his landlord, and where it was to be delivered. 'Ithere was a question as to whether or not a date should be established on which the tenant tust declare his op tion-cash or corn-and whether or not the landlord should have a similar choice. Perhaps they had to recast the whole lease to agree to the new terms of payment atnd without ref erence to the cash at fill, hbut in the end they had a contract which gave justice and protection to both Iarties If crop prices should prove so unstable as some men predict they will be. In addition. Mr. Kashrent has a landlord whomt he respects and Mr. Acreowner has a tenant whom he can rely ulpon.
