Mitchell Delivers Address On‘Wings Over Jordan’ Program together' with an erroneous no- Uon that intelligence is n^>t ne cessarily a requisite for anyone enga«;^d in farming it has beem oi)served that ther^ are many people, North and South, v*o think of Negroes ' engagei] in agriculture as being a down and out group, without a ray of hope strikio^ their economic and •ocial life. Vrt, there is a pro gressive minority group of rural Negjrees who are pointing the way to a more , satisfying ruini life. Tht following is the text of a radio address delivered fey J. W. Mitchell, dutrict agent in charge of Extension \ work with Negro farmers in North Carolina. The nation, especially American Negroea are deeply indebted to th* Columfcia Broadcasting System and those who go to make up the “Wing* Over Jordan*’ program. We, citizens of North Carolina, «• proud of the Old North State’s native son, Rev. Glenn T. Settle! We think he i« worthy of any recognition or honor that may be conferred upon him. I hare bean requested to discus# in this brief period, the Econo- tnie and S^ial .Status of the Ne- ir>\> in Agriculture. In liiscuasing this subject, too WWepeated, but everthel^ ba sic truths must be kept m mind. One, that agriculture is funda mental in the life of a people or nation. The other, that Negroes, because of their years of i^en* tity in rural life have a g^eat opportunity. The Negroes’ opportunity in agriculture is well stated in a r«i!«nt release from the Farm Secui|ty Administra- ‘tiMn, entitUd: The Sonth- «rn jfagrotho '“Farming In bot*>* a ■b«ai- nett and a way of life for half ot all Negroes in America." ' The census of 1930 shows that then were 882,860 Negro farm operaton in the United, States. TIieM Jtarm operators were oper^ ating farms with land and build iQf* valned at $1,402,946,799. Oa these farm wert^'liiiptements and Machinery valued at $60, SOT,866. TENANT PROBLEMS ' .i Ninety five per cent of all Ne- JTO farm operators are in ,tHe South and' «ev«ity five percent are tenants. Therefore, with the tenant system being..,one ot the most discussed phases of the na lion’s eoonomic problems, the Negro farmer is brought direct Jy into the spotlight, whenever the tenant situation is dfsussed. Because of the pu'blicitv re ceived 1)y this preponderant tenant class of Negro farmer A ’ traveler who hii! ‘ never been South of Richmond, Virginia, or a southerner who has failed to observant, woWd be surely disappoint- if he should expect to see all the Negroes in the Southv- living in dilapidated shan ties, with cotton growing up to the door steps, or should expect to see the entire Negro farm family out in the field picking ^ cotton surrounded by ab-^ ject poverty.
