NEGRO FARMERS ARE

Where are the negro farmers of Arizona?
 That is the question Governor Hunt has been asking himself ever since he received letter requesting him to name fifty colored delegates to the National Negro Farmers congress at san Francisco next summer

Pacific exposition, in order to show the thousands of visitors what the race has accomplished in an agricul- tural way. Arizona, packers of the affair reasoned, should be well repre- scented. But the governor, who has been asked to appoint half hun dred negro farmers, is at a loss. He does not know the names of that many negro farmers; indeed, it is a question whether the chief executive is acquainted with a single agricul- turist of the race Most of the negroes in Arizona, it mas been point ed out, are not engaged in agricul- tural pursuits, and as yet no action has been taken on the request.
