NEGRO FARMERS INCREASING
 IN STATE srATIsrIrs sun

The negro farmer foregoes the pleas ures which the American white man thinks he must have, and that is the reason why the acreage of nego-farrns In Connecticut has greatly increased in the last ten years" declares Secretary Healey, of the state board of agricul- ture. There is too much going on for the American white man on the farm. The negro has his women and children at work with him and he foregoes the pleasures and the conveniences which the American white man thinks he must have. The negro has the money to buy more land and his holdings Show a big increase"
 The figures on Connecticut farm acre ase Snn ouneed Saturday by the federal census bureau, show that the averag ge .slze ot the negro farm in Connecticut has increased from 50.S acres in 1910 to 96.6 acrcs, in 1920. and the acreage of negro farmers in the state has increas- ed from 5,7S5 to 7,245 during the same period. In 1910 the average of the farm acreage of the white man here was S1 acres, and in 1920 this had been in- 1 creased only to SS.s acres, The acreage held by white farmers decreased from g.. 1so,o55 in 1910 to 1,Ss1,755 in 1920, and the total acreage in the state devoted to farming fell off from 2,1s5,7ss to l.. cSo,J6U acres. Secretary Healey said that the falling 1 off in the number e farmers and hae acreage devoted to farming was due
 chiefly to two things, the call of high
 wages paid elsewhere during the wal l and the inability of the farmer here tc
 make profit on his produce at the | prices which he was paid for it. The 1 increase in the number of negro farmer! l Secretary Healy ascfibed to the fac l that during the war, when labor wa! | scarce, large numbers of negroes import | ed from the south to work here, and 1 when the slump came in the labor mar i ket they remained here. As the resul 1 of the change in conditions, however
 the number of farms in the state has de
 creased from 26.oOO in 1910 to to 22.Oo l In 1920.
