ators, even a larger amount of the farm receipts comes from the 

 sale of cotton, the range averaging from 87.5 to 94.2 per cent of the

Practically all the corn crop is required for feed and family use. 

 A large portion of it is used for feeding work stock and the large 

 number of hogs kept. 



While Table VII shows that the colored operators devote about 

 the same proportion of area to corn as do the white operators, the 

 former received much lower yields and consequently were not able to 

 sell nearly as large a portion of the crop. For the entire area the 

 receipts from corn are less than 3 per cent of the total farm receipts.
