Georgia, which contains the center of Negro population, also has the largest Negro population (1,206,365) of any state in the Union. It has been the hardest hit by the present migration. According to several re- ports from various sources, about 80,000 Negroes (not to mention 30,000 whites) have left Georgia this year. Since Georgia gained only 30,000 in Negro population between 1910 and 1920, its Negro population is probably less than it has been in several decades. There are said to be 47,000 vacant farms in the state and 1,665,720 acres...

The exhibition is notable for the high average of its achievement, representing as it does the almost unselected work of an entire community...
...Voronoff operations may find their last state worse than their first. Other critics have pointed out that the sex glands are only one factor in the regulation of old age, and that for complete arrest of senility, all the ductless glands would have to be renewed, not to mention other physiological changes. But Dr. Peter Schmidt, a colleague of Steinach, who claims to have performed 85 of the operations himself, made very rosy predictions in an address at Berlin last week. Indefinite prolongation of life by a series of Steinach operations is well within the bounds of possibility, he said...
