REVIEW OF EVENTS IN THE
STATE OF OKLAHOMA
TENANTS OCCUPY FARMS
f LeFlore County Leads In Number;
Oil and Cotton Counties Few-
Uj4 est Landlords In Country.
Tenants operate more than half the
farms In Oklahoma according to 1920
census figures recently compiled.
The icport shows 100983 laims la
the state; 92.9G1 operated by owners
and 37128 by tenants. LeFlore coun-
ty loads In the number of larms with
4932 diops to second place In the
number operated by owneis and re-
Bains first place with 3058 in the ten-
ant column. Bryan county is first in
tho number cultivated by owners for
out of 4517 owners aie on 2351. Ten-
ants occupy 2193.
Washington county has fewer farms
than any other county. Out of 72G
tenants occupy 37S and owners 318.
Lincoln county ranks thiid in the num-
ber of farms with 4515; 2 3C3 occu-
pied by owners and 2.1S2 by tenants.
Southeastern Oklahoma counties
Imve smaller but more farms than any
other section ol the state. In the west-
ern part and in some of tho northern
counties where the majority of the
land is owned by Indians the farms
are larger. In these counties the re-
port shows more farms are operated
by owners than In any other section.
In the central part of the state land-
lord and tenant are almost equally
divided.
In Cimmaron county nearly five
times as many owners as tenants.
This county was formerly in "no-
man's land" and while it has been
open for settlement a number of years
Is still in a state of development that
many other counties passed at a
younger age. Texas and Beaver coun-
ties show like averages.
With the exception of Oklahoma
county overy country in which is lo-
cated a city of impoitanco has a ma-
jority of tenants. Oklahoma county
however has 708 more landlords on
farms than tenants.
Oil counties aro ahead of cotton
- counties in the number of tenants as
compared to landlords. In Tulsa coun-
ty of the 1625 farms only G01 are op-
orated by owners and in Okmulgee
county tho average is even lowor. Of
the 1865 farms 1137 aro under care
of tenants. Muskogee Wagoner and
Rogers counties show about the same
average.

ing persons injured in industrial ac-
cidvntH was agreed upon at a confer-
ence betwoon members of the two
agencies.
Oklahoma soon will receive $13500

ndustrial commission may be used to

Governor Raps Lynching.
"A lyncher is a worse menace to a
lemocratic form of government than
i bolshevist who goes about waving a
ed flag and throwing bombs" Gov-
ernor Robertson said in an address be-
rore a meeting of tho Inter-Racial
jonference of Oklahoma in the house
f lepresentatives' hall of the stale
:apitol.
The governor referred to the two
ecent lynchings at Tulsa and Okla-
lonia City and deplored the results
f the investigations. Hearty applause
greeted his statement that neither the
logroes nor the whites want social
'quality. He insisted that they should
lave equality as citizens and that the
'.wo races sliouhl seek to understand
sach other's probleifttTby taklny their
Doint of view.
More than a hundred and fifty ne-
groes and whites representing 50
'ounties of the state were present at
ho opening of the conference by J.
3. Thoburn. Negroes were decidedly
n tho majority.
