RACE TO SUFFER TOO
Vital Statistics Indicate
Blacks Decreasing in
Numbers.

washington. ID. C.. April 27.-The
general movement of southern negro
farmers to northern industrial cen
tiers, shown by recent survey OF the
Department of Agriculture. will, II
continued, have very marked effect
both upon the labo supply in the
South and upon the negro race itself
in the opinion of officials OF the CEN
sus bureau.
An analysis By the burea'. of the
negro population statistics Of the 192O
census showed marked tendencies to-
ward interstate migration and con-
centration in cities, the movement re-
ceiving it's first impetus in the de-
mand for unskilled labor during the
World war. ooo
During the decade nearly 23o,OOO
negroes removed to cities in the South
Atlantic states, and nearly the same
number to cities in east and north
central states.
The increase in these cities, aver
aging nearly 80 per cent, affords a
vivid statistical picture, in the opinion
of census officials, of a systematic
effort in industry and commerce 10
supply with the negro worker the
unskilled labor needs largely met by
immigration before that was checked
at the beginning of the war.
Negro Would Drift Back.
"Were foreign immigration to be re-
eumed in the near future on a scale
commensurate with immigration from
1900 or during the period Immediately
preceding the war;" the census bureau
apslJsis said, ait is reasonable to sup
nose that the negro, less in demand
because Of the greater labor supply,
would tend TO drift back 10 his former
environment.
But immigration, for the first time
in federal history. has been restricted,
and il this restriction continues, and
unskilled labor in prosperous times be-
comes again at premium, is the ne
gro TO respond to the demands as dur
ing the war and continue and increase
in urban centers during the present
and subsequent decades at rates re-
sembling those shown for the wal
period? Should this prove to be the
case the effect upon the labor supply
in the South and upon the negro race
itself will be very marked. ---. --.

Dusseldorf. April 27.-Five separ-
ate bomb explosions on the Ruhr rail-
roads during the night cut railway,
telegraph and telephone communion
tions, temporarily disorganizing traf-
fic.
French headquarters said the ex-
plosions had caused the most serious
damage since the beginning of occu-
patton.
During the confusion the Germans
made a series OF efforts to run the
customs barrier into interior Ger
many but large quantities of goods
which the Germans were trying to get
through, were seized by the French.
The explosions tore up sections Of
track and blew down the wires along
side in each instance.
In one case near Bomann. q French
troop train, heavily loaded, had a mar
row escape. The explosions cut the
line from the eastern Ruhr to Dues

movements and the carriage of sup
plies. Four other lines were cut in
the vicinity of Hattingen.

sixths of what it is among southern
white persons.
"These conditions will doubtless
prove to be closely connected with
the rapid urbanization of negroes be-
tween 1910 and 1920. The rural ne
gro population decreased in that dec
ade nearly one-fourth of million, or
"a per cent; while the urban negro
population increased by seven-eighths
of a million, 327 per cent. Under
these conditions the swarming of ne
groes into cities north and south and
the sharp fall m the increase of Amer
lean negroes are related almost as
cause and effect.
If the rate Of increase between
1900 and 1920 be projected through
the rest Of the century without change,
it would yield at its close about 90
100000 as the maximum limit of negro
population.
1T also seems reasonable to antici-
pate that the negroes. who in 100
were over 10 per cent or nearly one
fifth of the population of the coun-
try. and now are about one-tenth are
likely by the end of the century to
be not more than one-twentieth.

assigns to woman a more superior

ashamed to bring nubbins to iowa.
and that If he had had rain at the suit
able time, that he would have had
some "whoppers." Asked how he grew
melons of such large size, and if he
used fertilizer, Mr.. Baker stated that
he had small tract of blacl, sandy
land that drained in every direction
and that he had thrown up levee
which caught the washings and had
raised the tract considerably ane that

just suitable for watermelons.
