TREND ?N SOUTH FULL
A'W/,Y FJiOM THE FA RM
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 23. —Figures
niAde public t the state department
of agriculture on farm population in
the ssouth indicates that while this
region is still mainly rural, the
growth of its urban centers is substan
ti.'il and swift. The total number
persons on farms in the southern
states is reconed at 3 6,827,824, of
whom 33.730,848 are white,s,o44 4-9
colored, and 52,497 foreign bora.
The white population constitutes
forty • Ight and six tenths per cent is
of the aggregate population, while
of the negro total fifty six ard six
tenths per cent, is on the farms.
When it is considered that many
ismall towns whose interests are chief
ly agricultural are classed as “urban’’
it is evident that the South is yet a
land of corn and cotton and cucurry
freedom, as well as of marvelous ir.
dostrial devoiopement. It is yet a
few decades:, however since seventy
five percent of the region's populatio
was on farms. Here, as elsewhere,
though not so markedly, tne trend is
townward.
