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 progressing education!
All Of this marvellous constitution
of a States productive resoureas did
not just ehappen." It is aragult of
careful, patient and insisten work,
undertaken by good men with i paos

What has actually been done along ad-

TRAIN OF CORN MORE THAN 1877 MILES LONG
Mississippi'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 a generous middle
man 5 profit as weE as transportation
cost and other expen7es.
Corn being high and oftentimes
scarce, they made no attempt to raise
any stock except such as could exist
on grass and peayines, so that, of the
n million three hundred thousand
bales Of cotton annually raised IA this
State, much more than half had,to be
sold as soon as g'nnsd, that the farm
ers might send away the moneyeto buy
mules, meat and foodstuff, which they
might Themselves have produced much
cheaper than I'D tie man from whom
they purchased thsse common neceg-
sites.
This suicidal policy was recognized
by a few far-sighted men throughout
the State, and as a first remedial meas
ure they began a 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
ten. This cotton they sold for cash
and sent the money to the North
ern and Western States to 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 er-
during appetite that must be satisfied
in some way. Then when planting
time came again he generally required
a mortgage to get some 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. E. Blakes-
lee, twelve years ago, into the office
of Commissioner of Agriculture, be-
gan a concrete movement of seduca-
tion along this line, in accordance with
which a responsive people and corps
of deep thinking men consecrated TO
the upbuilding of this great common
wealth have Jointly brought about a
A wise beginning was made in secu
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 it 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 1915 Mississip-
PTS corn crop came within a 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.
