Each of the tenants studied had at least 5 acres of cotton; of the 

 share croppers 95 per cent had 10 acres or more, of the share renters 

 99.3 per cent, and of the cash renters 97.6 per cent. Less than two- 

 thirds of the share croppers had as much as 15 acres, and only about 

 one-fourth had 20 acres or more, while of the share renters and of 

 the cash renters the majority had 20 acres or more and about one- 

 third had 25 acres or over. The proportion of share croppers having 

 as much as 30 acres was only 4.7 per cent, and in the groups above 

 that acreage the proportion was insignificant. Of the cash renters 

 nearly one-fourth had as much as 30 acres in cotton, more than one- 

 eighth had 35 acres, 7.7 per cent had 40 acres, 5 per cent had 45 

 acres, and 2 per cent had 50 acres or more. Relatively nearly as 

 many of the share renters as of the cash renters had 215 acres or over, 

 but considerably fewer share renters had a larger acreage, and only 

 one had as much as 50 acres. 



Table XI shows the relationship between size of cotton acreage, 

 tenant's labor income, and rate of interest on landlord's investment.
