From the standpoints of crop acreage and production of cotton, the farms operated 

 by white owners were of greater importance than was indicated by the number of 

 farmers and those operated by colored tenants of less importance. Farms operated 

 by white owners represented about one-lialf of the farms, but more than two-thirds 

 of the crop acreage, and they produced almost liree-fourths of the cotton. Farms 

 operated by colored tenants represented about one-third of the farms, but only about 

 one-sixth of the crop land, and they produced scarcely one-sixth of the cotton.
