rtro sensible reason why our young men
and women should, upon arriving at tho
age of maturity, 90 to one of the newer
States in the West to begin life. Mis-.
sissippi offers as much or more than any
OF them. Texas, that mighty empire of
the Western country, has long drawn
upon Mississippi for sinew that was
needed here at home and more offered in
return. Investments in Missis iippi lands
have increased faster than have Texas
lands during the past ssven years. Our
soil is more productive, the climate
more 'congehia4, the public schools better,
churches more numerous and many other
things in favor OF our own State too nu-
merous to mention just now. Some one
has shown by an estimate that our lands
produce more cotton to the acre than the
Texas lands. Basing the estimate upon
last years acreage and production, it is
shown that in Texas it required 2.3 acres
OF land to make'a bale, of cotton, while
IN Mississippi only III was necessary.
Our corn production was ahead in almost
an equal proportion. Our trucking inter-
ests are far ahe.d. Our timber and
naval stores production arc not to bo
