fense on Monday night passed
the following resolution:
"Whereas, The State Food Ad-
ministration an the State Council
of Defense have urged that crops
on farm land acreage be this year
divided in the ratio of half cotton
and half feed crops.
Now be it Resolved, that this
Council of Defense does hereby
in all things endorse the action of
the Food Administration and
State Council of Defense, and re-
commend that wherever the soil
conditions will iu the judgement
of the tenant farme; permit, such
tenant should plant cotton and
feed crops on a fifty fiifty basis,
and this Council of Defense be-
lieves it to be it's patriotic duty
to pledge our earnest support to
every tenant farmer desiring to
so increase his acreage of feed
crops, and suggests that such in-
creased acreage of feed crops shall
be made upon a one third aad
one fourth rental basis."
This was taken to show that

of increasing the acreage of food
and feed crops aad a commitee
of five was appointed to assist in
adjusting possible differences be-
tween land owners and tenants.
