The negro has his women and children at work with him and he foregoes the pleasures and thé conveniences which the American white man thinks he must have. The négro has the mpney ‘t6 buy mére land and his holdings 'show A big inérease.” The-fizures on Connecticut farm acte- 2ge 2nnounced Saturday by the federal cépsus bureau, show that the average LSiz& ot the negro farm in Connectieut has incréased from 50.8 acres in 19i0 to 96.6 acrcs, in 1920, and the acreage of fégro farmers in thée state has increas- ed from 5,735 to 7,245 during the same period. In 1810 the average of the farm acreage of the white man hére was 81.8 acres, and in 1820 this had been in- creaséd ofily to 83.8 acrés, The acreage held by white farmers decreased from 2,- 180,653 in 1810 to 1,591,785 in 1320, and the total acreage in the state devoted to farming fell oft from 2,185,788 to 1,- 898.880 acres. ) Secretary Héaley said that the falling off in the number cg farmers and He acfeage devoted to farming was due chigfly to two things, the call of high wages paid elsewhere during the war and the inability of the farmer here to thake a profit on his produce at the prices which he was paid for it. 'The increase in the number of negro farmers Secretary Healy ascribed to the fact that during thé waf, whén labor was scarée, large numbers of negroes import- éd from the south to werk hers, and when the slump came in the labor mar- ket they remained here. As the result of ‘the change in conditions, however, the numbeér of farms in the state has de: creaged from 26,000 in 1910 to to 22,000 in 1920. In the opinion of Seerstary Healy agriculture in Connéctitut and New Efigland as a whole is én thé road to bétter timeés. He believes the tifte has come when the avérage consumer is réady to pay a béttér price for hiS tarm products. “Conditions in Connecticut are ‘as fa- vorable for farming as they are in any place in the United States” said See. retary Healy. “We have 'zood markets near at hand and there are always plenty of consumerfs for farm produets.
