MULATTOES SHOW
LARGE INCREASE
One Black in Five Has White
Blood, According to Census
Statistics.

A preliminary statement showing by
! States and geographic divisions the num-
Der and proportion Of mulattoes among
the blacks enumerated at the thirteenth
decennial census Of the United States.
taken as Of April Is, 1910. was issued
yesterday by Director Durand. Of the
Bureau Of the Census. The statistics
were prepared under the direction Of
William c. Hunt chief statistician for
population. and are subject to revision.
The statement gives comparative figures
for 1870 and 1890, no data being available
for 1880 or 1900.
The term ''mulatto" as used In the
census OF 1910 includes all persons. not
full-blooded blacks, who have some pro-
portion or perceptible trace Of African
blood
In 1910 there were in continental United
States as a whole, 9.sgI,1s3 blacks, Of
whom aoo.sss. or 2os per cent. were
reported as mulattoes. In 1880 there
were 1.1se, $50 mulattoes reported. or 15.2
per cent of all the blacks, and in 1870
a total Of 5s4,ois. or Il per cent Thus
the figures taken at their face value
show that about one-fifth of all the
blacks In 1910 had some admixture of
white blood. as against about one-eighth
in 1870. 1t may be noted. however. that
an increase in the mulatto element
does not necessarily imply increasing
intermixture with the whites. since the
children born OF marriages between
blacks and mulattoes would be mulat-
toes. according to the census definition
Percentage in District.
In New England and In the East North
Central and Pacific divisions about cne-
third of the colored population were re-
ported as mulattoes. while in each of the
three Southern divisions the proportion Is
only one-fifth.

and mulatto population In Maryland. vir-

One would-be librarian said that
Lafayette was former president Of

PLAN
BETTER FARMS
Worked out that will
Bring More Dollars to
Tenant and Owner.

Realizing the importance of the
Better Farming association, Frank S.
Haynes and j. d. Wood of Geneseo.
III. plan to put their 1000 acres of
North Dakota land under the super
vision of the association and are In
Grand Forks blocking out systems of
crop rotation calculated to benefit both
the tenant n the owners of the big
farm. These men are old friends Of
o. d. Center, expert for the Better
Farming association in Grand Forks
county, in whom they place every con
idence.
"Plats of the Hayes and Wood farms
have been drawn off to scale and the
rotation of crops will be carried o on
these holdings in the future" said Mr..
Haynes today. Each field is num-
bered and the nts will be provided
with numbers n plats and a copy of
the rotation system for each year, SO
that all they have to do is to take the
number Of the field together with the
plat and they will know exactly from
year to year what is to be done on the
farms. ANY modification that will
have 10 be made on account of the sea
sons will be made just as close to the
original plan as possible. For ex>
ample: If 1t is pla nned to have A field
of clover and the clover for any rea-
son is a failure. We will try and hold
the annual legume on that field in Or
der to have the effect of nitro-gather-
ing bacteria that the legume possess
es. Any other changes made will hold
as closely as possible to the crop out
line"
In addition to the grain system OF
rotation Messrs. Haynes, Center and
Wood have figured out a cropping ana
livestock proposition for a 720-acre
farm. which will probably be the first
farm in the county with a definite sys-
tenn OF cropping and livestock rotation.
This will be the first farm in the coun-
ty upon which the owner and tenant
will work in a livestock partnership.
These farms will be conducted along
the same lines rs the Haynes farms in
Illinois. where 1t is not a matter of
livestock raising as here, but a prop
osition of raising feed.
