GOV. BAXTER BACK
after conferences
IN WASHINGTON


No state in the union has peen
more successful than Maine in car
ing for the needs of its people accord
ing to the statement made by Mr..
Wadleigh, federal fuel distributor, to
Governor Baxter. who called at the
office of the federal fuel administra-

900 tons and that he had succeeded
in doing that which most distributors
had failed to do, kept local prices
within reasonable bounds. He eX-
pressed himself as not only in accord
with Mr.. Lanes activities, but his adj
miraton for the ability and deter
mined activities of Names distribu-

Mr.. Lanes sole efforts that Maine had
secured her full quota and more and
not through the activities of any
other person.

him very successful. When he left

things had been attended to. he was
ahlc to attend to many others that

The Bridge Committee Of the
Jackson Chamber of Commerce and
also the Agricultural Committee will

in that city at 10 a. m. Thursday,
and will go in body before the
Board of Supervisors of the county
for the purpose of having the Board

rebuilding of the Pearl River bridge.
The bridge is now in such con-
dition as to make repairs necessary
and it is feared that if something is
not done at once that it is likely
to become a total loss.
The Rankin County Board of Sup
ervisors should take some action
along with the Kinds County Board,
as Rankin County citizens are
equally as interested as the city of

MISSISSIPPI LOST
LARGE PERCENT
OF FARM LABOR
Rankin County Suffers Equally as
Much as Other Sections. Much
Land is Idle Throughout the
State. White Farmers to Replace.

An idea Of the extent of negro
migration to northern industrial
centers in the last year, and of the
area of cultivated lands that are in
idleness this year as result of the
shortage of man-pOwer is given in
data secured by the Southern Alluyi-
al Land Association of Memphis. 1T
is estimated that more than 10 per
cent of the farm labor in the cotton
growing states has joined in the
exodus northward since this time
last year. Roughly estimated the
figures probably will run but little
short of the half million mark rep
resenting chiefly a class of young
negro males.
The figures are viewed as perhaps
as nearly representative and accu-
rate, in the absence of positive fig
ures such, for instance, as the
census of departures might show, as
it is possible to secure. They are
based on returns from upwards of
500 counties in the cotton growing
states, with numerous reports from
each county. The source of the in
formation is. the cotton correspond
ents of The Commercial Appeal, who
were asked by The Commercial APP
peal to supply the data upon request
of the local association.
The association has been urging
for many months that concerted
action be taken to solve present and
impending labor difficulties and,
after considerable study and in
veStigation, has recommended vigOr-
Gus action to direct flow of desir-
able farmer immigrants into the
southern states as the best means
of meeting the situation. Lacking
definite data as to the actual extent
of the negro movement, The Com
mercial Appeal co-operated in OBJ
tanning estimates.
Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama
Mississippi and Arkansas lead all
other cotton producing states in the
order named in the loss of negro
labor and likewise in the extent of
cultivated lands in idleness as a
result of the labor shortage.
Georgia Heavy Loser.
Georgia in the last year has lost
almost one-f fourth of her negro farm
labor and a fifth of her cultivated
lands are idle this year because
labor was not available to handle
them.
The estimates of the percentages
of labor lost and land in idleness
this year for the leading eight cot
ton states, exclusive of Texas, which
depends largely on Mexican labor,
are as follows:

Reports collected by the govern

the negro movement nOrthward was
but slightly under the 100000
mark since last November, and that
it was continuing.
The movement was well under
way long prior to that time dating
back to the war period when it was
estimated that 100000 negroes
went north with probably not more
than 100000 returning south as
estimated through some government
sources. Between that time and the
height of the movement this year,
many thousands of farm labOrers
took up the trail. The movement
at present is continuing, reports in
dicate.
One of the railroad companies re-
ported that it gets from so to 100
negroes daily on Fridays Saturdays
and Sundays from Atlanta to
Chicago alone, with scattering
travel between these points on other
days averaging 25. The movement
through Memphis has been estimat-
ed only recently at as much as 1000
per week.-Commercial Appeal.
