NEGRO MIGRATION
INCREASING SAYS
CENSUS BUREAU
Figures Published Showing Num-
Der of Blacks In the North
VINO Were Born Suoth

Washington. Dec. 1.-THE total
number of negroes born in southern
states and living in the north and
west had increased from 440,534 in
1910 to 7S0,794 in 1920. the census bu-
reau announced today in a special re-
port on negro migration based on re-
turns of the last census The south
ern boundaries of New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Mis-
souri, and Kansas were taken as the
dividing line between the north and
sOuth for the purposes OF the report
OF the 10;3S1, ,309 negroes enumerat-
ed in the last census there were 3S.-
575 for whom no state of birth was
reported. The 7SO,794 southern-born
negroes shown to. have migrated to
the north or west constituted 81 per
cent Of the total of 9,006,943 negroes
born in the southern section The
percentage of this migration for the
preceding decade was not shown
Against this migration from the
south to the north and west. of the
total of 741.791 reported in the last
census as born in states of the latter
region, 1929 or GA per cent were
living in the south. Thus the proper
ton of southern born negroes who mi
grated to the north or west. accord
ing to the report, was only about one
fourth larger than the proportion of
those born in the latter region who
migrated to the south
while it is impossible to calculate
exactly the percentage of negro mi
grafton from the south with the de-
cade ending with 1920" the census
report said, the available data ind-
Gates that approximately 100000 or
somewhat more than half of the 49,
571 survivors of the net negro migra-
ton from the south to the north and
west prior to Jan. l, 1920, left the
south subsequently to April 10. 1920.
Although migration to the north
and west has not taken place among
the far southern negroes to the same
extent relatively to their total num-
bers. as among the negroes in the
northern part of the south there was
such migration from the far south
during the past decade"
As examples of this gain the report
cited increases in the migration of ne
groes from southern states to Penn
sylvania from 1910 to 1920, as fol-
lows:
Georgia. 1878 to 1916; South Car
olina 2,113 to 11.624; Florida. 393 to
$3.50.
The migration from Alabama to
Ohio increased from 7S1 to 1858;
from Mississippi to Illinois, 1872 to
19,4S5; Texas to Missouri, 1907 to
4,344.

Trip Over Ridge Country

I The Empire of Polk was unfolded
! to the members of the Southern Meth
odist Publishers Association during
! a trip over the Ridge Section or
Scenic Highlands on Friday Briefly
put, the journey by automobile proved
| a revelation. All preconceived ideas
of Florida were upset and in their

has, in Polk county, one of the most
marvellous sections of the entire
country both as to resources and nat
lural beauty. ,ss-.--.zs s.----- -.- r '7'''ys-
! All the details connected with the
motorcade had been arranged we'll in

guests later in the day offered their
congratulations on the manner in
which everything had been carried
out efficiently and on scheduled time
Nine automobiles were furnished by
Lakeland residents and at Barlow
Miss Lois Cooley, county home
demonstration agent. Joined the party.
The route selected was out through
and over Lakeland Highlands and
then. on to Barlow. Lake Wales and
as far south on the Ridge as Crooked
Lake. Dinner was served at High
land Park. This was the crowning
event of the day. the visit to Highland
/ Park, the inspection cf that attractive
property and the truly excellent meal
and perfect service. Irmin A. Var
nell was given a well-descrved eva
tion when Toastmaster Jack Worthin-
ton of the Lake Wales Highlander in .
troduced to the visitcrs the moving
spirit and guiding genius of the Park.
Mr.. Yarnell made characteristically
modest reply in which he impaired
interesting information about the
early days of the then unknown Ridge
country which, less than eleven years
ago was without road or trail, a will
derness in a paradise of hills and
lakes that are today the pride and
glory of Florida. Referring to the
future he said that even the most op-
timistic dare scarcely hint at what is
coming in the way of development.
Only two other talks were made,
one by Carlton d. Harris. of Balti-
more, Md, editor of the Baltimore
Southern Methodist and president Of
the Southern Methodist Press Asso-
citation and by that inimitable wit,
Rev. A. j. Weeks of Dallas, Texas, ed
itor of the Texas Christian Advocate.
President Harris paid a graceful tri-
butte to his hosts and to the beautiful
land through which the journey was
being made. DR.. Weeks was genu-
inely witty, affording a real treat to
his hearers while at the same time
acknowledging the hospitality of the
occasion. On the return journey up
the Ridge a brief stop was made at
the Lake Alfred packing house of the
Florida Citrus Exchange where the
; visitors had an insight into the scien-
tific methods employed in handling
citrus fruits. The return to Lakeland
was made in ample time for the con-
cluding evening session of the asso-
citation. The actual mileage covered
Friday was 104 miles.
