Negro of Georgia - Own More 1
Land Than Any Stale Except,
Possibly, Mississippi
Since 1865, the Negro has been- rapidly
getting hold of valuable farm
lands. He has also been able tG t>uy j
_ for hmiself homes in town and cilies'.The
home ownership spirit has'tend- 1
ed to stabilize our social life.
. "* * t
The latest United States Cbnsus ,
reports show that the Negroes arc
losing their hold on many of the
' - . it
farms purchased yeqtg >ago by the ,
fathers and mothers. In many eases, ,
it appears that htey dp not realize, the-1,
value aigL-iinportance of these lands ' ,
that have been handed"down to thipm.'
According to the United Sfcitc tern'
sus estimate, in practically every .
state where Negroes own land in this L
t __?Country, -there, -has been a decided t
Slump in the number of farms and in 1
liT*- the acreage owned by Negroes since
1920. In Georgia commonly known as
v the "Empire vState of the South",
where NPcroes own more land than
in any state' in the Union with the
' pos-sbile exception of Mississippi, i.t ,
has been estimated that Negroe s have i
lost approximately five thousand
far.ms.. Leaders in agriculture. and
others who are thinking seriously .of ?
the future of our people in this coun"
' try are discussing this matter. They
? call attention .to thG fact that white'
~ people of the South have loft the
farms in large numbers. These lands:
may be purchased on very reasonable
term. The Federal Loan Banks, thru
