on our north, but had these resources
been intelligently employed within our
own borders, In the growing Of these
four agricultural products only, they
would have brought US both fame and
fortune.
Mississippi cotton carries its own
trade mark, the superior excellence Of
its staple stamping 1t the world over
as Grown in Mississippi" and when
through state pride and a spirit Of in
telligent thrift and independence we
send out to the non-agricultural world
our share of those food products which
our agricultural resources are able to
stamp with the same superior excel
lence with which nature stamps our
cotton, then indeed, will Grown In
Mississippi" be a trade mark of excel
lence and a slogan to conjure with.
Use Mississippi Products.
When we show to the world that we
think Mississippi grown farm products
the best in the world. by using them
ourselves, to the exclusion of products
grown elsewhere, then the outside
world will give a meaning to the
slogan Grown in Mississippi" and a
for the quality which it typifies. So
long as we remain an agricultural
state we must set Jul aim higher than
simply the production of home sup
plies. We must also help to feed the
non-agricultural world.
First, let Grown in Mississippi" be
our slogan to encourage the growth of
home-used agricultural products and
then let us by this same slogan make
1t known to all the world that what Is
good enough for Mississippi is the best
In the world.

GROW LIVE STOCK AT HOME
Corn Production Of Mississippi Rapid

for Mules and Horses.
BY r. s. WILSON,,
State Agent, Columbus. Miss.

Why not! Is there any good reason
why Mississippi should not be self-sus
tanning? Is there any excuse for send
Ing millions Of dollars out of Missis
sippi annually for the necessaries Of
life? We think not.
We will not attempt to recount the
varied advantages In the way of soil
climatic conditions, ETC., that make
Mississippi SO especially adapted to di
versified agriculture.
The agricultural development Of the
state creates an ever increasing de-
mand for teams. A number of coun.
ties in the state sent over $780, OO
away for mules last year. Can we
raise mules in Mississippi?
Cooperation Needed.
Every effort will be put forth by the
office Of the farmers cooperative DEM
onstration work to forward the Grown
In Mississippi movement. Every mem
Der of our force in Mississippi is an
enthusiastic believer in and advocate
OF homegrown Mississippi products.
We will do everything in our power to
carry this slogan to the people and to
get 1t universally adopted. With every
opportunity there is a corresponding
responsibility. While Mississippi Of
fers almost unequaled opportunities
for raising live stock, yet every good
live stock man knows that in order to
make a success Of the live stock bust
ness financially, a man must also be a
good farmer. 1t is up to the demonstra-
ton agent to see'that the people Of
his county receive all possible assist
ance and sound advice with regard to
the crops and pastures that 1t will be
necessary to provide in order to make
a success of the live stock business. In
the trucking sections of the state we
shall always endeavor to promote the
truck business along safe and profit
able lines. In fact, whenever a dollar
leaves Mississippi In the future for q
product that could have been profit
ably grown in Mississippi" 1t will be
against the advice and over the pro-
test Of the demonstration agent.

Demand for Meat Growing.
One hundred million people of the
United States are demanding more
beef, more steaks and roasts; mind
you, more meat; not more ticks. II
you are raising ticks, / regret to be
compelled to advise you that there is
no market for them. you cannot sell
them anywhere. If you insist on rails
ing ticks keep them home and suffer
the disgrace they will heap upon you.
Mississippi is going to be tickless in
three years. viii any county wait the
limit or will you eradicate the tick and
hoist the banner Grown In Missis-
sippi?" You wouldn't let the nation
know that your motto is: Ticks
Grown In Mississippi" Every intelli-
gent person would say: What q dis
grace, they raise cattle to grow ticks
on" Fat cattle are selling for ten
cents per pound in Chicago; the mar
ket for fat ticks went into bankruptcy
when the dipping vat came into use.

"Grown in Mississippi" Oats.
Home Produced Seed Oats Best for
Mississippi Conditlons-Reslst
Rust Better and Give
Great Yields.
BY j. F. M'KAY,

Extension Department A. G. M. COLLEGE,
Dat harvest time is past in "Ole
Miss.'-she has had the largest oat
crop in her history. This year Missis-
sippi has had a greater oat e
than ever before. The value of the
oats for this state far exceeds that of
any previous year. Heretofore oats
for the state have been imported from
the West and Northwest, but oats pro.
duced at home are more suited to our
soil and climatic conditions and more
resistent to rust and other diseases
than grain brought in from other sec.
tons. The grain kernel from home
produced seed gradually improves and
becomes heavier as 1t is planted from
year to year.
In several counties In the state
there are seed oats that have been
raised there for many years. We find
that they invariably give best results,
In Covington county they have an ont
that has been raised there for 60 wears
1t took the premium two years ago NJ
the state fair for best seed oats. In
Yazoo county there is an oat that has
been growing there for 80 years and II
commands a premium over all other
seeds in that county. Madison county
oats are adapted to Mississippi condi,
tons. Oats grown in Rankin county
have sold above the ordinary market
price because of their excellent Quail
ity.
See your local dealer before planting
oats and insist on getting seed grown
