C., March 20.—(Co lumbian Press Bureau.)—The Third Biennial Report of the Missouri Negro Industrial Commission, compiled by its j secretary, Robert S. Cobb, portrays a picture of absorbing interest concern ing Missuori’s quarter million of col ■ ored people. Agricultural, industrial, i and health conditions have been brought to light in Mr. Cobb’s report; ; and if no other service had been ren dered by the commission than the tabulation of such significant facts as are shown in the report, the commis sion would have rendered valuable as sistance to the state of Missouri and the public officials who are charged with directing the welfare of the state. The report reveals that cotton acre age, cultivated by Negro cotton hands, is increasing rapidly in southeast Mis souri, and that incoming Negro mi grants have shown interest in farm ing and agricultural opportunities of fered by the state of Missouri. It is rumored in the east that demo cratic members of the Missouri legis lature intend to strike out the appro priation allotted to the Negro Com mission, and thereby cause its func tions tc lapse. It is doubted, though, that public-spirited citizens of Mis souri, regardless of their political alli ances, will permit the work of the commission to be ruthlessly dissolved. HOLD COL.
