Mississippi, long one of the great est of the growing states, and a state to which the criticism on the single crop was largely directed, is rapidly becoming one of the great est of the corn states. Its acreage of corn has expanded marvelously since the diversifcation propaganda was set on foot. Four years ago corn production in Mississippi ran to 2S,- 000,000 bushels, which was considered a tremendous cereal crop for cotton state. Two years later its production of corn reached 66,000,000 bushels. Last year unfavorable conditions low cred the yield to 60,000,0O0. This year, it is estimated the corn crop will not be less than 100,000,OO bush els.

The department of agriculture has in it's possession at Washington pair of cotton gloves and pair of cotton socks into the manufacture of which no machinery has entered. The cotton was grown from the long staple Co., lumbia seed sent out by the depart ment a year ago to a farmer in South Carolina. When the cotton began to Fipen, about October first, three pounds of it were picked. The seeds were picked from it by hand, and one pound of lint cotton was obtained. This was delivered to lady in the vicinity, who carded it by hand, spun it into thread by land, and knitted from it pair of socks and a pair of gloves. Such instances as this is en- couraging evidence of the fact that progressive farmers wives have not entirely lost the useful handicraft of their mothers time
