When freedom came to some four
millions of men, women and children
of African blood it found the most
OF them without property, save the
meager clothing which covered them,

now own 100000 homes in this coun-
try, and more than million farms
were operated by them in 1919. They
conducted $4,000 business concerns,
and their total wealth was S1,1OO,-
100000. Not ten per cent of them
could read or write when freedom
came, and now so per cent of them
are classified as literate. They have
500 colleges and normal schools, and
100000 of their children are in the
public schools, while the race fur
nishes $4,000 teachers. Property US
ed for higher education of the race
is valued at S22,OOO,OO0, and the
yearly expenses for EDUCATIONAL pur-
poses reach $15,OOO,OOO. They have
1900 churches, 100000 communi-
cants, 10000 Sunday schools and
church property valued at $S5,0OO,-

SOME FACTS AND FIGURES
RELATING TO THE NEGRO

When Abraham Lincoln issued his
Emancipation Proclamation it appli-
ed to those negroes only who at the
time were enslaved in states in re-
bellion against the federal authority
The status of nearly million slaves
held in other states remained unaf"
feeted until January 1, 1856, when
the Thirteenth Amendment, declar-
ing slavery abolished throughout the

But, because it was necessary to
help win the war, the government
took possession of this farm, held II

the farmer a rental equal to what he
had made in the three previous years.
The Government doubled the
wages of the farm hands and
shortened their working hours.
IL established working condi-
lions under which it took Many

and under which, oftentimes,

did the Government replace all the

RUNNING FARMS AND
RUNNING RAILROADS

The Farm Under Private Ownership
Back in January, 1917, there was
a farmer who had good farm, which
was worth $4,000. He had good
horses and live stock, with fences,
buildings, wagons, INows and other
implements in good repair.
In the three previous years the
farmers had made a living on this
farm, and after all expenses were paid
found that he had made a profit Of
a little over a thousand dollars a
year-a little over per cent on the
value of his farm.
He had applied sufficient fertili-
ger each year, and his land was in
good condition for Future produc-
tion.

Back 10 Private Ownrship Again


AT the end of the 26 months the
Government turned the farm back to
list owner.
All the farmers tools and wagons
had been put Unfortunately in a
pool and used on one farm or another
regardless of ownership. Naturally
no one had taken as good care of
them as the farmer would have taken
of his own implments.
At the same time the Government
required the farmer to continue war
time wages and working conditions.
1t would not permit him to
decrease wages nor to require a
better days work without ex-
haustive hearings befor a Gov
eminent board.
The prices of his farm products
had increased somewhat, but not
nearly enough 10 cover increased
wages and the increases in the cost
of all his supplies so that in 1920
he made just $50 net profit on the
farm which before the war was good
for $1,000 net profit.
At the same time the demand for
his products began to fall, and for
some of them there was hardly a
market at any price. Then many
people began to tell the farmer that
he could make money il he would
reduce the prices of all his products.
although on account of high wages
he was already selling some of his
stuff without profit, and even below
cost.
