ordered, will be of the latest type. 1t
is expected that the plant will be
ready for operation within the next
few weeks. A factor in influencing
the establishment of the mill was the
fact that farmers of this county have
materially reduced the cotton acre
age, and an unusually large yield OF
corn is expected, not only this year,
but in subsequent years. The corn
yield in this section is well up to the
average in the South and in many
instances exceeds the average yield.
Milling, both corn and flour. is po-
tential industry in this city by reason
of the fact that planters are turning
to the grain crops as means OF pro
lection against the uncertainty of the
cotton crop.

Agricultural College, Miss, July 10.
The Farmers Roundup Institute
closed it's 1916 session with a discus
sion of the possibilities of Mississippi
as a hay producing state. Speakers
emphasized the Importance of follow
ing the leading of nature, which has
proved over many sections of the
state luxurious natural grasses. This,
is evidence of the capacity of the soil
to bring wealth to the farmer who
will venture into the hay market.
Mississippi's has received recognition
as hay section from the National
Hay Growers Association; peculiar
problems of markets and rates are in
a fair way toward adjustment; every
thing points encouragingly to the
| rapid developments of this phase of
agriculture.
The session was under the auspices
of the Mississippi Hay Growers AS
sOciation. AS officers, Walter Stokes,
of Macon, president and W. II. Carter,
| of Columbus, secretary and treasurer,
were elected. w. T. Donaldson,
whose experience as one of the states
most successful hay-growers is a
store of information along these lines,
led the discussion on saving hay. He
demonstrated how this may be done
at minimum cost, and how the ap-
plication of simple and sane princi
pies will multiply the profits Presi
| dent Stokes followed with a compre
hensive address on Mississippi hays
taking as the types, with the adyan
tages offered by each. Although the
session resulted in a great stimulus
being given this work, and many ex-
pressed a purpose of Introducing hay
