Presidents of Negro Land Grant
Colleges. Both of these projects
deal with the economic conditions
of Negro farmers in the state.
The first of these projects, now
nearing completion, is the begin
ming eff series of studies CT Ne
gro farmers in the several soils
areas of the state. This study,
can Economic Study of Farmers
in Claiborne County" (The Brown
Loan area, is study of the So
biological and economic factors
which affect farming and farm in
comes.
The second such project deals
with the Negro in the Agriculture
of Mississippi and is one Of a Sc
ries of studies being made in each
of the II states in which Negro
Land Grant Colleges are located.
Plans are in the process to in
clule Alcorn III another study along
with six other Negro Land Grant
Colleges. This study, made pos
sible by funds from the iva.
and the cooperating schools, will
deal with the problems of Ne
groes in the agriculture of the
South.
Some of the findings more sig
nificant that appear in the General
Education Board study Indicate
that Negro farmers in Claiborne
County are characterized by ex-
tremely low incomes in terms of
good and adequate living stand
ards. These low incomes stem
from a multitude of causes among
which are: u Failure to make best
use of productive facilities; i.e.,
the breeling program in cattle
and swine is only so per cent eff
fective; p Poor crop and livestock
combinations; - Low crop yields;
~ Inadequate farm machinery and
equipment; 81 A high rate of in
voluntary farm unemployment
with no supplementary labor out
lets; g. Poor pasture; y Failure
to follow recommended practices;
and 81 Failure of farmers to make
use of credit facilities to their adj
vantage. These findings have
broad implications in the teaching
and in the planning of functional
programs. Only research could
have revealed these significant
facts.
President J. R. Otis. in creating
the research department, is cog
infant of the fact that a good
job in teaching can only be done
when the teachers have first-hand
information on the areas and the
actual conditions that prevail in
areas where our graduates are to
work as rural leaders. He believes
that teachers with rural back
grounds get "untaught" some
where along the line in their col
lege careers and lost the perspec-
tive of the conditions that they
grew up under. 1t is his opinion
that it is necessary to keep all
teachers in our agricultural col
leges appraised of the dynamic
conditions in our rural society if
improvement is to be expected.
Changes and the economic and So
cial conditions that bring about
these changes must forever be
kept in the minds of all teachers
if effective teaching is to be done.
DR.. Otis feels that the participa-
ton of his staff and students in
the gathering of such data has
much more value than our prev
ious methods in classroom proceed
ure from texts which are gen
orally foreign to the regions where
our graduates are to work.
The research program at Alcorn
A. & M. College is being carried
On by: B. v. Johnson, H. j. e.
DuBose and Robert D. Bell.
