NEGRO FARM FAMILY
MAKES FINE RECORD
In 1935, worldly possessions of
the Earnest Norwood family of
Houston county totaled only $35.
Today it exceeds $1,400, an in
crease of more than 40 times in
five years. In fact, their 1939
farm income amounted to about
$6OO.
This negro farmer, his wife
and nine children were living in
poverty back in 1933. Their mule
had died, and without workstock,
further farming was out of the
question. There was no possi
bility of securing another mule.
Starvation was staring them in
the face.
They were temporarily rescued
by the Houston county relief
rolls. But not for long. The
■ Farm Security Administration
proved their second salvation.
From relief rolls, they were
placed on the rural rehabilita
tion program in March, 1935.
At that time, their poverty was
almost unbelievable. The family
of 11 was crowded in a tumble
down two-room shack, eating
only two meager meals a day
and sleeping on two double beds
and one baby bed.
The year 1935, however, prov
ed to be the turning point in
their lives, after being accepted
on FSA rolls. From worldly pos
sessions of three chickens, one
cow and pig back in 1935, the
Norwoods have prospered and
today they have two good milk
cows, 27 hogs of which three
are brood sow t s, two jim-dandy
mules, 30 chickens, a good gar
i den, 296 quarts of canned food,
$3BO worth of food on hand and
■'*29o in the bank. Their smoke
house contains 1,800 pounds of
! meat and 300 pounds of lard.
Working under the guidance
of Harley W. Jones and Mrs. i
Inez Fagan, farm and home su-1
pervisors in Peach and Houston !
I counties, Norwood has repaid I
!$1,314 on a total loan over a!
five-year period of $1,624. Dur
ing the latter part of 1939 the
i Norwood family was taken on
the Tenant Purchase program
and is now living in a recently
constructed home on a 138-acre
farm in the King Chapel com
j munity five miles east of Perry. |

rehabilitation by suggesting im
