Something more than year since,
Q large furniture factory was built
ut New Albany with local cap1tal.
From the beginning it has experienced
splendid patronage, being at times
sold many months in ads-nce. The ex-
port trade has been catered to With un
usual success and the papers last
week announce that the United States
government has just given the facto-
ny a rush order for 300 chiffoniers
to go to Panama The success of this
institution is a source of qualification
to every one in Mississippi who de-
sires to see our state get that which
is rightfully hers. There is no sense
in shipping our hardwood to other
states to be manufactured into fur
niture and then buying it back again
ct profit and freight both ways.
This factory will make comprehen-
sive exhibit at the State Fair this
fall, demonstrating the fact that he

For great many years Holly
Springs has had large factory for
the manufacture Of utensils from the
valuable clays found in that section
of the state, the fame Of its wares
extending to many states. It is now
announced that the second big fac
tory will be built at once and the ex-
cellent wares to be made advertised
extensively. The building Of this
second factory should be help to
the first as would be the third or the
fourth. When it becomes fact Of
note that Holly Springs is large
producer Of such wares, the trade
will naturally look in that direction
when in the market. The splendid
clays available in that section should
encourage investment in factories for
its manufacture into articles used
by mankind.

N eshoba supervisors are consider
ing an effort to improve the condition
of the public roads of that county.
Investigation is being made of the
feasibility of turnpiking a highway
across Pearl River valley, making it
passable at all seasons Of the year.
J is to be hoped that the Neshoba
Supervisors will hit upon an econ
.tlca. and effective plan of accom-
Fishing road improvements and that
other counties seeing their good
works will go and do likewise, or just
little better.

Statistics show that last year Mis-
,ssippi produced 1928, 100000 feet
.f lumber, board measure. Averaging
this yield at $40 per thousand, the
enormous sum Of $25, 987 300 was re-
ceived for it. In the fact Of these
figures is there surprise when the
statement is made that our timber is
fast disappearing. Nearly one-third rs
much received for the lumber output
Is for our principal money crop, cot
ton.

In addition to the indications Of
oil on the surface near Chunky in
Newton county, announcement is now
made that there are just as favorable
indications near the town of Newton.
This land is also said to be rich in
deposits Of solid iron earth from
which good medicine is made. While
it is not specially desired to have
closer contact with Mr.. Rockefeller
and Standard Oil tactics, it is to be
sincerely hoped that developments
will prove that Mississippi has some
thing of value under the surface. A
geological survey was authorized by
the legislature at its last sitting for
the purpose Of determining something
definite concerning the mineral de-
posts Of Mississippi, and while but
little has been done so far, it is con-
fidently expected that the future will
develop something Of value in the
ground of our grand old state. Let the
hope exist at least.

IMPROVES GRAZING LANDS,
Government viii Better Range Condi
tons by Increasing Water Supply.

Washington, d. C.--Tn its investiga.
tons for the Improvement of grazing
lands within the national forests car.
ried on during the past year the fe !.
est service has found that the ranges
on some of the forests can not be fully
utilized by stock because of a lack OF
proper water supply. Plans have been
made for lettering these conditions
as rapidly as possible.
Work to improve the water supply
on the national forest ranges will be
started this year on the Leadville ma.
tional forest In Colorado and the Tu-
macacori national forest in Arizona.
and before the coming of another graz.
ing season a number of ranges will
be improved very materially.
On the Leadville forest the forest
officers will clean out and protect
twelve different springs and pipe the
water into troughs. The work on the
Tumacacori fsrest in Arizona will be
somewhat more extensive, although it
will be confined to the improvement
OF the supply of only half as many
springs as on the Colorado forest. This
method of cleaning out and protecting
springs and other watering places will
result in much benefit to stockmen
grazing on the strips of ranges within
the forests. Improvement work along
the same general lines will also be
begun OH other national forests.
