Kansas is today one of the richest
farming States in the Union. Only a
few years ago it was one of the poor
est, debt-ridden and famed for whis-
kers and cyclones. The Centennial at
Omaha was the beginning of an era
of prosperity that has continued ever
since. Mississippi's Centennial Expo
sition can do equally as much for this
State If the people responsible for
participation of the right kind do their
duty

Each acre of corn in the State yields
about eight bushels more than it did
IN 1907. and with three million three
hundred and fifty thousand acres
planted this increase is really worth
while Thus the gross increase In
corn production is forty-three million
bushels. If this corn was loaded into
cars, one thousand bushels to the car,
the cars with couplers averaging fifty
feet in length, the train required to
haul this increased product would be
composed of forty-three thousand cars
and would measure just three hun
dred and ninety-seven miles In length.
So much for progressive education!
All of this marvellous reconstruction
of States productive resources did
not just happen" 1t is a result OF
careful, patient and insistent work,
undertaken by good men with a peo-
pie who were ready to be shown. There
are still many who do not quite be-
lieve. are welded to old methods and
don't take what they see in the pa
pers for gospel" The Mississippi Cen
tennial Exposition offers a splendid
opportunity to bring these men into
the firing line of progressive farm
truths, when they cannot help but see
what has actually been done along adj
vanced lines. Ten thousand corn club
boys win attend the Exposition, bring
ing in their wake ten thousand dads,
who have already seen the light. Never
has there been offered such an oppor
tunity to inspire the young mind and
enthuse the old with progressive truths
and advanced methods.
It is a college for those men VINO
have only heretofore received the
rudiments of successful agriculture,
and will mean a gold mine of rich ex-
perience for men and boys alike.
Right fitting is it, too, that Mr..
Blakeslee, the father of Mississippi
Corn Clubs, should be here in his own
proper person 10 meet these men and
boys for whom his wise guidance has
meant so much and extend them a
cordial welcome as general manager
of the greatest agricultural show ever
held in the South.

when such appropriation should be

TRAIN OF CORN MORE THAN 1897 MILES LONG
Mississppi's 1915 Corn Crop Worth Well Above
Fifty Million Dollars. Phenomenal
Increase Just Begun

Not more than eight or nine years
ago the farmers of Mississippi raised
twenty-eight million bushels OF corn,
while their home needs compelled
them to buy not less than fifty mil
lion bushels per year from other
States, paying top market prices
which allowed for generous middle
man 5 profit as wei, as transportation
cost and other expenses.
Corn being high and oftentimes
scarce, they made no attempt to raise
any stock except such as could exist
on grass and peavines, so that, Of the
one million three hundred thousand
bales of cotton annually raised in this
State, much more than half had to be
sold as soon as ginned, that the farm
ers might send away the money to buy
mules, meat and foodstuff, which they
might themselves have produced much
cheaper than did the man from whom
they purchased these common neces-
stiles.
This suicidal policy was recognized
by a few far-sighted men throughout
the State, and as first remedial meas
ure they began slow but sure cam
paign of enlightenment on this amaz-
ING situation. Here were they, many
thousand of Intelligent Woodworking
citizens, devoting all of their energies
and acreage to the production of cot
ton. This cotton they sold for, cash
and sent the money to the North
ern and Western States 10 pay
for corn and meat, ate the corn
and meat, with the result that in a
short while the cotton was gone, the
corn and meat following fast, the man
up North had the money, and the Mis-
sissippi farmer had nothing but an en-
during appetite that must be satisfied
in some way Then when planting
time came again he generally required
mortgage to get some more money
to send up North, this time to pur-
chase a mule that he might raise more
cotton to start the same old retrogres-
sive cycle back.
With the advent of Mr.. H. n Blakes-
lee, twelve years ago, into the office
of Commissioner of Agriculture, be-
gan concrete movement of educa-
ton along this line, in accordance with
which responsive people and corps
of deep thinking men ccnseerated to
the upbuilding of this great commons
wealth have jointly brought about a
gratifying reconstruction Of conditions
A wise beginning was made in secur-
ing the interest of the boys in a uni
versal organization of corn clubs. Dad
couldn't be left so very far behind with
an active factor for advanced methods
right in the house, so 1t wasn't long
before things began TO happen, and
they are happening right straight along
today Boys and men join in an EN-
phatic pronunciamento against wasted
resources and "Our Own Hog and
Hominy' became the slogan In every
Mississippi farm house!
The United States official report
shows that in the year 1916 Mississip-
PTS corn crop came within few
bushels of the seventy million mark
or more than double the gross produc
ton in eight or nine years. And more
gratifying still, while the gross amount
was going forward at a lively rate the
average per acre was also increasing.

ideas which prevailed in those stand.
still years were a blight to progress
and development.
What West Virginia is today 1t
owes to the Republican party and its
official representatives. The rank
and file Of the party Is proud, and
justly SO, Of their party's record. They
are touchy on that, they are sensitive
as to any faultfinding with 1t, and
they resent, and have always with ev-
er:increasing majorities At the polls,
any opponents who seek to rise to
power by destroying the reputation
and character of their party's record
Of twenty years of efficient, honest
and constantly developing govern
ment along tho most modem lines.
1t Is one Of the proud boasts Of Re-
publicans, and one they are justified
in making where and whenever they
feel like making 1t, and that is that
in the twenty years their party has
stood responsible to the people Of
the State, there was never been a
single case Of crooked handling OF the
States affairs. When the Democratic
platform charges or intimates that
nobody will believe 1t for everybody
knows 1t Is false. What cause then
to believe that any of the other many
wild charges and reckless ss:imations
contained in their platform are any
more worthy OF credence by an intel.
ligent electorate?
Where their platform fails, utter.
~, after vain striving. Is to keep
widely apart the Republican party as
a party. and Governor Hatfield as a
distinct personality set apart for con.
sideration as a private individual. Its
an aim which misses the mark. 1t Is
too transparent what was sought to
do. Personally Governor Hatfield Is
not an issue and cannot be made one
In this campaign. He has his loyal
friends and has equally loyal enemies.
Officially, however, both join very
largely in approving and accepting
him as a part Of the party's most re-
cent record. The party handed him q
platform in 1912 and ordered him to
carry it out when elected. He did.
There isn't a pledge in that document
which hasn't been fulfilled under him
as governor. II doing that is q fault,
it's more Of the parry's fault than it
is Hatfield's. But there isn't a Re.
publican Of just end intelligent mimi,
no matter what his individual opin.
ions Of officials as private citizens are,
who will not stand squarely by the
party's accomplished pledges as made
