This was the assertion of Dr. R. H. Harper, local geographer and statistician, who, after a study of the recent 1925 census, found that males still predominate. In the whole state in 1925, the statistician found from the census figures, males constituted 49.5 per cent of the pppulation under 21, and 52.4 per cent of the adult population. Florida, Dr. Harper states, is still in some ways an undeveloped or fréntier state. For that reason, he adds, the state and most, of its counties have always had. more men than women, even in the de- fade’ or two following the Civil War, when women were in the ma- jority in the neighboring common- wealths. Four counties of the state, Leon, Pinellas, Union and Hamilton, the statistician discovered in the 1925 census figures, reported a pre-| dominance of females in the white population. In Bradford, Volusia, Holmes, Escambia, Orange, Ala- chia, Duval, Jackson, Suwannee, Monroe, Columbia, Gadsden, St. Jobhs ‘and Washington counties, in the order named, however, women cOMstituted 49 per cent of the , adults. “Males are decidedly in the ma- jofity in Hendry, Glades, Dixie and Collier counties, according io the statiitigian. | Hendry was given 58-per-cent of men among the whites;" Glades, 59.3 per cent; Dixie,.60.7 per cent, and Collier, 65.9 “per cent, or nearly twice as many men as women. “Continuing, the _ statistician analyyzes the situation. with re- gerd to the population of males and females as follows: Men Arrive First “When a new country is being settled up, men in the prime of life usually arrive first, and their mothers, wives, sisters, children, and so forth, come later, if at all. “The proportion of women is nearly always larger in cities than in rural districts, probably because the rough work in mines, forests and on farms is suited to men only, and there are now so many cleri- eal occupations open to women in cities. The four counties mention-| ed as coniaining the largest pro- portion of men have no cities with #8 many as 1,000 people, and lum- bering, stock-raising and construc- tion work of garious kinds are their principal industries at pres- ent “Counting only cities which had} over? 2,500 inhabitan:s in 1925,} the following had more females} than males in the white population of all ages, adults not being sep- arated. in the census table for cities, beginning with ihose having the greatest excess. | ““De Land, Tallahassee, St. Petersburg, Kissimmee, Gaines- ville, Winter Haven, Orlando, Lake City, Pensacola, Bartow, St. Aug-| ustine, Jacksonville, Plant City,| Lake Worth and Ocala. They are just one-third of the total cities of that size. | “At all ages the proportion of, females is nearly everywhere a lit-| tle larger among negroes than) among whites, and it happens that most of the counties which have over 48 per cent of women among the white adults have more negro women than negro men. And nearly all the cities just mention- ed, and about half the remaining one of similar size, or over half the cities of 2,500 inhabitants and over, have more females than males in the negro population.” KEY WEST TIN SHOP JAS.
