Grown In Mississippi"


The Grown in Aississippi"
movement is spreading aII over the
State. Bankers. merchants, stock
men, farmers, professional men,
teachers, Manufacturers, andai who
are interested in the agricultural and
Commercial progress Of Mississippi
are getting behind this movement
and carrying il on to what promises
to be splendid success. Il will be
brought before the bankers Of the
State at their forthcoming meeting
in Vicksburg. Some bf Mississippi's
most prominent bankers have al
ready indorsed Grown in Missis-
sippf' and they are anxious for the
Bankers Association to adopt it.
Likewise, the Importance of the
movement will be impressed on the
teachers Of the State at the meeting
at Jackson, and they will be asked
to give it their heartiest support both
Individually and as an association.
Put the words Grown in Mis-
sissippi' on every pound Of produce
that is sold in the State or shipped
outside Of the State" say the
leaders in this great movement.
Hang it up in all our schools so
that the children may be impressed
with it; let US set aside one week Of
the coming school session as a
Grown in Mississippi week; let the
children be taught what Grown in
Mississippi really means, that living
up to il and acting on il means in
creased prosperity for all the people;
let us induce every business house
to hang this motto in some conspicu-
Gus place; let us induce our own
people to raise everything they need
and to raise PRODUCT for other States,
too; let US advertise to the world
that Mississippi can grow products as
good and maybe Better than those
Of many other States.
This movement is the result OF
the addresses delivered in southern
Mississippi by Prof. P. G. Holden,
Hon. H. e. BlakesIee, Or. J. A.
Herman, Mr.. r. S. Wilson, Prof. E.
r. Lloyd, Prof. R. H. Pate, Mr.. j.
B. Mitchell, MI. John c. Clair, DR..
TAFT Butler, and other prominent
men in the recent campaign for d.
versified farming and live stock
raising.
Before leaving Mississippi, Prof
Holden urged the people in Jackson
Haltiesburg, Meridian, and othel
places where he spoke, to adopt this
motto and make it a slogan for all tht
people Of the State. He told how
the motto Grown in Iowa" had
made Iowa a wealthy State, anC
placed her in the front rank Of States
agriculturally and commercially. HI
predicted that the motto, Crow
in Mississippi" would do as mucl
for Mississippi as Grown in Iowa
had done for Iowa.
One Of the prominent men mos
enthusiastic in this movement is Dr.
J. A. Herman who has charge {
the United States tick eradicatio
work in the south. For thiTt
years." says Or. Herman, all
Mississippi has shipped her cattle
quarantined cattle with placarc
tackled oalthe side of the cars. Tc
day thifty-four counties may shl
cattle to the free market. Would
not be a better way to advertise tt
State by having signs Grown
Mississippi tackled on the cars tha
the old quarantine card' Now
the time to do something for Missi
sippi, prosperity and for posterity.
The sentiments Of Or. Kern;
are echoed by all the United Stat
government men who are workil
for the eradication Of the tick
Mississinpis and many of the. fol
most cattlemen Of the State. The
are far-sighted men in the live sto
business, who are looking forwa
