Surplus Youth, Lack of Good Farms,
Schools Add to Plight Of Rural Negro

tai Negro rural population, the
report indicates. Because of this,
together with inadequate econo-
mic opportunities and poorer
schooling, it is revealed that the
situation Of the Negro youth in
rural regions is graved than that
of his white neighbor.
Increase in farm tenancy, the
decreased demand for farm labor
ers and the trends toward large
scale and absentee land ownership,
and mechanization of agriculture
have reduced a number of good
farms available. Meanwhile, the
number of young men desiring
their own farms is in excess of
both land and opportunities would
make for security among rural
youth, it is reported.
