Some of the negroes who go North and West will, of course, return in time to the South, and signs are not lacking to indicate that many of them are finding conditions iu their new i homes far different from their expecta tions. but probably most of the migrants, •and especially the younger and more cap- ► I able ones, will adjust themselves to their 1 new surroundings, and will be permit • nently lost to the South. | “Whatever the effect of this move j *»ei)t in tfie long ruiu.itjg Juird, for the J i farmers to adjust themsi*!vs m the (shortage in available labor so sudden'y, , and at present many planters are wor -1 ried over the outlook for the immediate future.
