NEW NEGRO OPINION "Stay On Farm" Kelly Miller RURAL OPPORTUNITIES BEST, SAYS H.U. DEAN Speaker of Conference Urges Negroes to Seek More Comfortable Family Life By Capital News Service ATLANTA, GA.—Prof. Kelly Miller, former dean of Howard University, was the principal speaker on the program at the conference on "Economic, Social and Agricultural Conditions of Negroes," which was held here last week, at the Log Cabin Community Center. Mr. Miller spoke both at the conference and at the Fiftieth Anniversary exercises of the Second Shiloh Baptist Association, where more than 10,000 persons were assembled. Mr. Miller showed that the Negro is a ten-figured worker and that he excells in the manual arts where complicated machinery has not been introduced. Commenting further he stated that: Wherever machinery has been introduced, the Negroes have been shut out of employment, except on the lowest level. Wherever Negroes have left the farm for the cities, they have left their own farm business, which were operated and controlled largely by themselves, for places at the bottom of the ladder in our cities. . . . Negroes on the farm, when they can own and operate the land, are in a much better position to develop for themselves comfortable family lives than it is possible for them to gain for themselves in our urban centers. Negroes, in order to be of greatest service to themselves and to their group will need to work with white people. We are a minority group. We must learn to work with the majority group in a way to command their respect and confidence. . . . On the farms, the masses of the Negroes have their greatest opportunity."
