I'm few other parts of the world is
there a greater chance for the Negro
to get off the defensive through pro-

this section. AS / have stated, in no
other part Of the United States is
there greater opportunity for the Ne
pro than in the six states adjacent to
Muskogee- Kansas. Missouri,
Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas and Okla
homa. These six states comprise the
greatest live stock and poultry section
of the United States. About one
fourth of all the live stock in the coun-
also great for poultry raising. The
poultry owned in these six states is
worth over $31 ,OOO 900 and is one-fifth
the value of all the poultry in the
country.
my own observation and statistics
indicate that this is also one Of the
greatest farming districts in the Unit
ed States. Almost 40 per cent of all
the cotton raised in the country Is pro-
duced in these. states, and great
amount Of corn, oats. wheat and po-
tatoes is also raised. Here are, in
deed, great opportunities for the Ne
gro farmer. There are in the six
states adjacent to this city 1873 100000
acres Of unimproved land. This is an
area Of over 100000 square miles. 1t
is equal to the area of all the New
