Food

	L‘ mother said her white folks fed her well. She had whatever they had. When ehe came to Arkansas, they issued ration8, but she never was i~8ued rations before. When they issued rations, they gave t:~e~ so much food each week ~- 80 much corn meal, 80 much potat~S, so much cabbage, 50 much molasses, so much meat -- mostly rubbi8hlike food. We went out in the garden and dug the potatoes and got the cabbage.

	But in Tennessee, my mother got what2ever whe wanted whenever ~he wanted it. If she wanted salè, she went and got it. If she wanted meat, she went to the smokehouse and got it. Whatever she wantt~d3 she went and got lt, and they diCh‘t have no times for Issuing out.
