Excerpt from Annual Reports of the Department of the Interior, 1906: Indian Affairs: Report of the Commissioner and Appendixes, Report of the Commissioner to the Five Civilized Tribes, Report of the Mine Inspector for Indian Territory, Report of the Indian Inspector for Indian Territory
Now, suppose that the Indian, instead of having to take his chances with tenants of this sort, could rent three, four or five hundred acres of his family’s lands in excess of what he is competent to till him self, to a company with large capital who has set up within a few miles of his home a factory for converting his cr0ps into a com mercial staple which is always in demand at good prices. Suppose that the company not only pays him rent, but improves and extends his irrigating facilities; puts his soil into rich condition and keeps it so by intensive farming; employs experts to show him how to do the same thing with his 20 acres that it is doing with the surplus.
