Rates for the white and colored are shown for only the six states of Ken- tucky, Maryland, Mississippi, * North Carolina, and Virginfa. For 1921 the highest rate for the white (7.8) ap- pears for South Carolina and the low- est (6.7 each) for Kentucky and Vir- ginia, while for the colored the' high- est rate (14.8) appears.for Kentuc and the lowest (9.6) for Maryland.
