Description: This survey by the Tenancy Commission studied the increase of tenants and sharecroppers in North Carolina over those who owned and farmed their own land, and the impact that this had on various aspects of life.  They looked at the effects on home-produced food supplies, income, credit, wealth, why farmers don't own their land, homes they live in, health and sanitation,

level of education, religion, recreation, citizenship and social contacts, with many comparative figures for black and white farmers. The three typical counties studied were: Edgecombe County, in the Coastal Plain section; Chatham County, in the Piedmont section; and, Madison County, in the Mountain section.  The report is primarily in the form of statistical tables with some accompanying commentary.
