Another leased thirteen and a half acres, expended about $600 in its cul- tivation, and sold his crop for $4,000. At Milliken's Bend the negroes were not as success- ful as at Helena — much of the cotton crop being de- stroyed by the "army worm." It is possible that the return of peace may cause a discontinuance of the policy of leasing land to negroes. The planters are bitterly opposed to the policy of dividing plantations into small parcels, and allowing them to be cultivated by freedmen. The...y believe in extensive tracts of land under a single management, and endeavor to make the production of cotton a business for the few rather than the many. It has always been the rule to discourage small planters. No aristocratic proprietor, if he could avoid it, would sell any portion of his estate to a man of limited means. In the hilly portions of the South, the rich men were unable to carry out their policy. Consequently, there were many who cultivated cotton on a small scale. On the lower Mississippi this w^-s not the case.
