REPORT ON LABOR
QUESTION IN DISTRICT 5.
Ba» n, Ark., April 20, 1918.
Mr. G. H. Banks, County Agent,
Newport, Arkansas.
Dear Friend:
1 am writing to let you have an
idea how our farmers stand in gen
eral in District No. 5.
I find that every one is willing to
reduce his cotton crop and plant
larger crops of feed stuff.
I find that labor is very short and
no way out, and therefore some far
mers are over-cropping and as I was
asked to report through the paper
just how the sentiment was on the
colored labor, I find fully 95 per cent
of all classes of our farmers are will
ing for the negroes to work on the
farms in District 5 and they want
them now. If you can assist in any
way to secure labor the farmers will
appreciate it. Crops are very late
and I find no cotton planted and very
little corn and lots of it will have to
be planted over. If I can assist in
any way, that, you deem best in my
district, let me know.
I remain yours truly,
M, B. Phariss.
