Many Negro farm families Of

However, some with too few
acres are unable to make the

This is how things looked TO

Most of the farmers l visited
are raising hogs for market.
Some sell as many as 200 head
q year, but they have their
fingers crossed, fearing over-pro-
cuetion and decline in price.
Z few have beef cattle, some
are in dairying, others are mar

farm jobs, and some in South
Carolina are trying their hand at

Five of the farmers have for

But despite the surplus, many
