Vui. 117.—The negro tenant and cropper farms or hoidinc:s are located mostly in theYazoo-Mississippi Delta, In the Black Prairie of Alabama, and in the upper CoastalPlain and Piedmont of Georgia and the Carolinas—districts having the richest soils inthe old South. Many of these farms are merely allotments to croppers on planta-tions, the owner of the plantation furnishing the cropper with his mule, his farmimplements, and sometimes, even, with food, until the crop is made in the fall andthe proceeds divided between them. Negro tenants are much fewer in Texas becauseof historical reasons. The dots shown in California represent mostly Japanese andChinese tenant farmers. 502 Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture, 1921.
