'THE MIGRATION OF
THE
By Robert MeAlpin Goodman.
(From Farming)
The migration of the Southern
gro to the north and west is rapidly
suming proportions which will
seriously the economic position of
South. Only within the last ten
has the movement gained sufficient
petus to warrant investigation
remedial measures, although the
of Kentucky and Tennessee show
for two successive decades.
From a standpoint of general
mary, the situation resolves itself
the fact that the economic structure
the South is built upon afoupdation
of cotton production, and this founda¬
tion owes its strength primarily to the
negro farm hand. Through the evolu¬
tion of generations, this negro farm
hand has become the all-important fac¬
tor in the South’s principal industry
and we cannot dispense with his pres¬
ence in this respect without years of
norj-pioduetion and agricultural inac¬
tivity leading to a revolution of agri¬
cultural methods. .
Between the years 1880 and 1900,
nine Southern states made a total
growth in negro population equal to
63.4 per cent of the growth of the en¬
tire continental United States. From
1900 to 1910, the negro population
growth in the Southern states held up
to 56.7 per cent of the total growth,
but from 1910 to 1920 the Southern
group shows an alarming drop to .33
per cent of the total.
It is true that the increase in negro
population for the continental United
Stales has dropped off appreciably of
kite, due apparently to low birth rate
and constant depletion of the physical
stamina of the race. However, the
fact remains that in the north and
west, the unnatural home of the negro,
their population increased 633,330 or
99:68 per cent of the total gain, as com¬
pared to the gain of 2,038 in the nine
Southern state*.
The accompanying chart shows
graphically just what has taken place
in negro population growth in the
South is compared to the United
States:
While there is no apparent feasible
solution to this ^problem, it remains an
undeniable fact that some steps must
be taken to effect a cure. The rural ne¬
groes of the South will prove them¬
selves almost without exception to be
defclrable citizens, and no one who is
anxious to strive for the good of the
South rejoices in their exodus. Rather
there should be unconcealed concern,
agitating the Southern white to con¬
vince the negro of the excellent advan¬
tage* which the South has to offer for
his advancement.
It will be found usually that the pre¬
liminary step in the negro’s pilgrimage
is his removal to local industrial cen¬
ters where he is surrounded by an at¬
mosphere almost compelling in its in¬
culcation of greed and conforming ten¬
dencies, and it is not a far cry from
there to the Northern cities of fabu¬
lous'wages and mythical .social equal¬
ity.
It would seem, then, from this that
a plan which would effectively serve to
retain our present rural negro popula¬
tion, depleted though that population
may be, would be the plan whereby the
entire problem might be solved once
and for tyi.

TREES WANTED
The Ameican Tree Association is
sending out a call for a million trees
to be planted in the current year. “Cel¬
ebrate the centennial of Arbor Day in
1972 fifty years before it happens, by
planting trees now,” is the climax of
their appeal.
If any poor words of ours could send
this appeal any farther, how gladly
would, they be written! America does
need more trees, we need them along
the country lanes and pastures and we
need them, oh so badly, on the bare
sun-baked city squares in any city.
There is good reason why Johnny Ap
pleseqd has become a much-loved figure
of our tradition. He was filing to work
for another generation. — 'Cqiumbus

An
Outstanding
Achievement
All motor cars may, with one exception be
divided into two classes.
There is the class of cars built to a price, arid
there is the class built regardless of price.
In the first quality is sacrificed;—in the second,
value.
The exception referred to is the Hupmobile,—a
car which any experienced, independent garage
- «.;•.«• iSSs- * T - -

essentials, as any fine car; and which is priced
so low T as to make it, in our opinion, the greatest
