At meeting Of the Colorcd Arkan-
sas Farmers Conference. held in Lit
tie Rock Wednesday, the following ad
dress was issued to the public:
The negroes constitute onefoulth of
the population of Arkansas and the
same proportion the agricultural and
wealth hproducing element. We
recognize the unique position held by
the farmer in that all other en-
terprises or agencies which make for
the prosperity, greatness and grandeur
of our state are dependent upon the
success OF the farm.
We recognize also that ours is the
most Independent calling in life, hav
ing as a eopartner all the powers of
nature, and yet to be more successful
as farmers we deem it prudent that
we, here in convention assembled,
send forth the following declaration
of principles:
/. We recommend, since farming
is an honorable calling, which pays
rich reward for the labor required to
perform it. that our people take more
largely to farming pursuits, thereby
to do eur part in relieving the congest-
cd cities and towns of their surplus
population that work strictly against
the health and sanitation of these
cities and towns, and are causing the
death rate of our people to be so
large
,. TIE farmer. in order to be indie
pendent, shCud own the home he cult
Yates. and we would recommend that
our people as rapidly as possible. make
an effort to buy small farms of forty
acres or more and that those who
already own farms put them in a high
state of cultivation and continue to
improve them, with view to their
own happiness and the honor of the
state.
Home owning among us should not
be confined to the farm but those
who necessarily live in the towns and
cities should own their homes and be
taxpayers.
8. The educational interest of the
race is paramount to every other in
terest, and the farmer who
should be the greatest beneficiary of
leading part in sustaining our edu
cationa institutions. And while we re-
greet that a bill is pending in the leg
islature to divide the taxes paid by the
respective races according to the
amount paid in by each race, and
while we feel the adoption of such
an act would be very unfair, unless it
also provides for proportionate divis
lou of taxes collected from corpora
tiCns which do business in the state.
many Of which are operated by negro
labor and to some extent supported
by negro patronage. yet if such a con
ditiOn is forced upon us we pledge our
selves to see to it that our children
are provided with educational facilt-
les. if il shall require voluntary sbscrip-
tlons on our part to meet the defic
iency.

this farmers association that friendly
relations exist between the races in
