TEXAS MIGRATION AND FARM
POPULATIO& TRENDS
(R. L. Škrabanek)
A. and M. College
Migration is one of the ba sic factors in
tlie growth or dechne of the Texas farm
population. It represents more than just
a movement of persons from one plače
to another since it breaks the bonds and
institiítional ties of the individual. It
also involveb the triansplanting of
wealth, sociál values, and economie pro-
duction. In same eases, migration is a
means of correcting the lack of balance
between population and resourees, at
the same tirne causing the age and sex
composition of an area to change. It af-
fects the patíerns of land use, the agri-
cultural and generál economy, tlie
chureh, the sehool and other institu-
tions and ageneies in both the areas
from which migrants are leaving and
in the new places of residence.
For the 1910-50 and earlier decades,
estimates are available of the change
in farm population due to net migra-
tion of persons alive at both the be-
ginning and end of the specified de-
cade. The estimates, therefore, do not
include the migration of children who
were boru after the beginning of a de-
eade, nor do they include estimates of
migration of persons who were alive
at the beginning of the decade, but
who died beíore the end of the period.
These net migration estimates are a vatl
gration is the change in the rural farm,
population due to the net movement '
of persons alive at both the beginning
and the end of the period of years un~
der consideration. The term, rate of net
migration, is the change in the rural
farm. population due to the net move-
ment of persons expressed as a percen-
tage of the rural farm population alive j
at both, the beginning and the end of t
the period under consideration.
Migration, 1950-56
The rate of growth or loss of any
population group is determined by its
birth and death rates and by the bal-
ance of in- and out-migration.
If there had been no migration either
to or from Texas farms between April
1, 1950 and, April 1, 1956, the State’s
farm population would háve increased
by approximately 110,000 persons. This
is the difference between the number
of births and deaths that occurred dur-
ing the 6-year period. The number of
births was almost three tim.es the num-
ber of deaths.
It is estimated, however, that 617,-
000 persons migrated from Texas farms
during this period. This is more than
five tim.es the nátura.1 inerease of the
farní population. The net migration
from farms was somewhat lower, since
276,000 persons moved to farms in the
State. There has been little change in
the number of migrants to Texas farms
from one year to another since 1950.
This left the net out-migration figuře
for the period at 341,000 persons.

HOW TO JUDGE A WITNESS
As a juror you are a judge of the evi-
dence presented at a trial. In order to
reache a proper verdict, you háve to de-
cide wha-t to believe and what not to
believe. One person ea-n’t believe two
diametrically opposed statements.
But alas, there is no fool-proof way to
sift out the true from the falše. Lack-
ing a surefire tratil detector, our jury
systém is th.e best method yet found.
So the jurors must consider the fac-
tors. afíecting the witnesses’ credibility
