Laurel.-Mississip leads every
every state in the Union in the per-
centage of population residing on

generally conceded to be rural com.
monwealth, are nov living on farms,
as compared with 65.5 per cent resid.
ing on farms in Arkansas, the run
ner up.
South Carolina, generally thought
to be textile center, is third with a
percentage of 63.S. North Carolina is
fourth with 5S.7 per cent of its pop
ulation living on farms, and is close
pressed by Georgia, which has per-
centage of 5S.3 residing on farms. AL
ALBANIA has 56.9 per cent and is fol-
lowed by Tennessee with 54.4 per

Rhode Island, the smallest state of
the Union likewise has the smaller

Thirty per cent of the total popula-

save four, have more than one-half of
their population residing on the
farms. Texas, Virginia, Louisiana and
Florida have less than one-half of
their population residing on the farm.
The south as a whole has nearly
two-thirds Of its population living on
