Negro Farm Population
Decline Now Indicat &d
WASHINGTON. D G - The
continued decline in the Negro
farm population indicates the need
for a change in farming practice;,
.says Cab in L. Beale, farm popula
tion specialist of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture.
In an amplified version rr
leased lasi week of a spoilt he
gave some months ago at
Prairie View, Texas, A. A M.
College, Mr. Beale points out
that Negro farm people have
been leaving the farm at a
faster rate than the re-t of the
farm population. Since into,
the Negro farm population ha*
dropped from 4.500,000 tr. an
estimated 2,800,000.
And between 1050 and 1954 the
number of Negro farm operators
declined by 32.000 leaving only
468.000. However, the drop was
made up almost entirely of tenants
and sharecroppers Through the
years, the number of owners has
remained about the same—lß2,ooo
in 1030 and 1Ri.600 in 1954.
The present tenure distribution
per 100 Negro farmers is abnui as
follows, says Mr Reale: 28 full
mvnr s, 35 sharecroppers, and 26
tenants other than croppers nr a
tola! of 33 percent owners and fit
percent tenants and croppers in
the South where almost all colored
farmers live. Only 22 percent of
the Southern white farmers are
tenants.
While the number of Negro ten
ants has dropped by 40 percent
since the end of World War 11. and
the number of full owners by a
bout 20 percent, the number of part
owners (those who own part of the
land they farm and rent the resD
has increased by 50 percent.
Part owners, states Mr. Beale
are the most prosperous of all far
mers. They operate more land, use
more machinery, and raise move
acres of cash crops.
However, one big handicap to all
Negro farmers, according to Mr.
Beale, is their tendency to stick
to traditional crops of cotton and
tobacco at. a time when these are
in surplus, instead of raising more
of a variety of products.
For example, 86 percent of the
commercial-seale operators grew
cotton in 1954, compared with 13
percent of the white farmers. But
Mr. Beale explains that since the
majority of Negro farmers are ten
ants, they have little means of
shifting to some alternative farm
enterprise as the demand tor cot
ton and tobacco declines.
One outlet for these farmer*,
he suggests, is off-farm em
ployment to supplement their
farm income. The 1954 Census
of Agriculture show* that 41
perernt of the colored and 48
percent of the white farmers
in the South d'd some off-farm
work during the rear. Seven
teen percent of the colored and
55 percent of the whitrs work
ed more than 100 days off their
farm.
A- to the future for Negro (arm
vriuth now growing up in the
South, it is estimated that 17 boys
are coming of age during this dec
ade for every farm of medium or
large commercial scale being va
cated by an older Negro farmer
through retirement or death. Tims
16 out of 17 farm youths have no
ready-made opportunity to assume

COTTON FARMER GETTING

The cotton farmers share of what j

95 manufactured cotton products i
has changed very little since 194? j
says a bulletin issued recently by ;
the U. S. Department of Acrtenl- j
tore Average composite retail j
cost of the 25 cotton products was j
53,17 in 1947 and 32.12 in 1957. The
farmer’s share for his cotton was
33 cents in 1947 and 32 cents in
1937.
RThe farmer sk 1 5dc w wv
The farmer's share differ? for I
different products, depending j
largely upon the value added by j
manufacture and distribution.
Business* shifts, work shirts, and ;
sheets are typical of such products. I
in 1947 the average business shirt j
retailed for *4.17. The farmer's j
share was 28 cents, or 7 percent. |
The work shirt sold for *1.70- nf i
which the farmer got 27 cents, o> 1
