Some might ask, who is doing it?
Who gives it the time and attention
to accomplish so much. The answer
would require much space and list
of names several columns long. The
department of education gives it all
of the time and attention possible;
Director Lloyd, of the farmers insti-
tutes, has been a loyal worker; the
United States department of agricul'
ture, through its demonstration work

Mississippi department of agriculture
and commerce, of which the writer is
commissioner, devotes to it every
available means of pushing it; the
county superintendent of education
the loyal teachers of the public
schools, business and professional
men, as well as hundreds of farmers
throughout the state are enthusiastic
