Farming offers an inducement to
Missouri negroes unsurpassed by any
other calling and solves the problem
of their future by giving them oppor.
tunities and advantages which no 9th.
er vocation holds out. declares Com.
missioner John T. Fitzpatrick in bu-
reau OF labor statistics bulletin.
The negro population OF Missouri
Is l57,452 men, women and children,
with 43,960 living in st. Louis, 23,566
IN Kansas City, 4,249 in 81 Joseph.
1895 in Springfield, S0r in Joplin.
1871 in Sedalia, 1,s46 in Hannibal and
the others scattered over the state,
including the few that now own farms
and others engaged in husbaadry.
Out Of the 100000 farms in Missouri
approximately 1888 are owned by ne.
groes. They range in size from
3 to 260 acres and are worth, land,
buildings. live stock, and everything
else on them, $27,76S,750, using the
average value of Missouri farm ST.
4O5 as the basis for computation.
The farm OF the average Missouri
negro farmer, just like that Of his
white brother, the bulletin says, Is
we'll kept and we'll stocked, and is
very productive, growing wheat, corn.
oats, grasses, watermelons, strawber.
ries, peaches, apples and all other
food necessities. Negroes raise poul-
try for the market, sell eggs, milk and
butter, have beehives and plenty Of
honey, produce sugar cane which, in
fall, they boil out for sorghum mo-
lasses. Their daily menu is made Of
the best things they produce, being
far superior to that of the average
city negro, who half the time is out
Of work and has no money to buy
food.
The life of the negro farmers Is
full Of comforts and Joy. In winter
most Of them are we'll housed, warm,
snug and we'll fed. Free fuel wood
furnished by the timbered lands in
and around their farms does away
with coal bills. Every Sunday there
is chicken, sweet potatoes, honey.
dumplings, apples, nuts and other
dainties, with strawberries or water
melon in summer and turkey or duck
and mince or pumpkin pie in winter.
Fresh eggs and hickory smoked sugar
cured ham is an ordinary breakfast.
Nearly every negro farmer of Mis-
souri, has a bank account, and his
profits allow him to take a vacation In
St. Louis, Kansas City, or some other
metropolis once or twice year. He
owns three or four suits Of clothes,
with shoes and hats to match.
