Poor Land Competition from Southern Whites Drive Negroes North
Where Jobs are More Plentiful, But Still Lowleve|

NEW YORK, September 19-
The us. Negro is caught in an
economic trap which has do
minated his life and had major
effect on national population
patterns for half century. The
Southern Negroes fifty-y e ar
struggle to get out from under
the deadly cycle of poor land,
competition from poor Whites,
and poor education is told in the
current (September "a issue of
LIFE Magazine.
The article points out that
since 1900 there have been two
major Negro migrations-large
numbers have moved entirely
out of the South and large
numbers have moved, within the
South, from farm to city. The
reasons for the moves have been
primarily economic.
1.-The social unpleaSantneSSeS
of segregation have no doubt
influenced many to leave the
South, but the majority have
moved in search of better live
lihood," LIFE says.
Pressure of Poor Farmland
Rural Negroes have always
lived on bad farmland in the
South, from which it has be-
come increasingly difficult to
make a living. In 1854 the me-
!. dian cash income of Negro farm
families in the South was $742,
whereas that of White farm
families was $1516. But when
the Negro leaves his poor farm
j., land and moves to a Southern
city he encounters massive COM
petition from rural Whites who
have also moved off the land
in search of factory jobs.
employers will not hire a
Negro for any job if there is a
White man available for the
same" LIFE says. Even if dis
elimination in employment bas-
ed solely on color were set aside,
the Negro still could not COM
pete with the White. Functional
illiterates (the term for adults
with less than fifth-grade edu-
cation) are three times more
common among young South
ern Negroes than among young
Southern Whites. Moreover, such

The board refused director
Hershey's request, however, and
scheduled the induction for last

that his induction be postponed

schooling as the Negro does
receive generally is far inferior
to that received by Whites"
Difficult in North Too
Failing to find a satisfactory
job in Southern city, the Ne
gro moves North. There he finds
it easier to get a job, but the
job is still usually on the COM.
mon-labor level. Northern en-
ployers do not have the SOuth'S
great pool of underemployed
White farm labor to draw upon,
and in the past IS years have
had great need for the unskill-,
ed and Semiskilled labor which
the Negro can supply.
"But the proportion of Ne
groes who reach the top of the
ladder in the North is scarcely
higher than that in the South.
In comparison to the total OF
8.5per cent of Negroes who rise
to become managers, officials,
proprietors, craftsmen and fore
men in the South, the figure in
the North is 10 per cent" the
LIFE article says.
One Tenth of u. S.
The Negro population has
constituted one tenth of the
overall U.S.. population. since
1900. In 1900, however, 85 per
cent of all us. Negroes lived in
the South, and of these, three
fourths lived in rural areas. To-
day only So per cent of all us.
Negroes live in the South, and
of these. only half live in rural
areas.
In 1900 Negroes exceeded 40
per cent of the population in
six Southern states. Now they
exceed 40 per cent in only one
state-Mississippi "a per cent?.
The ratio of Negroes to Whites
has decreased in all Southern
states, and is increasing today
only in certain Northern states,
such as New York and Illinois,
which receive heavy migration
from the South. Of the six mil
lion Negroes who live in the
North today, 2.8 million were
born in the South.
