STATE ON WAY TO
REAL PROSPERITY
Agricultural Expert Says Mis-
sissippi Destined to be
Rich Commonwealth

Agricultural College, Aug. 20
What to do next in Mississippi farm
ing is the announcement being given
out here today by E. R. Lloyd, direc-
tor of the experiment service, who
says the state will make between 80
and 100 million bushels of corn, one
million tons of velvet beans and the
best cotton crop in years, and sees a
vision of Mississippi becoming one
of the richest states in the union if
our farmers keep on for two years
longer as they have this year.
That the next two months will be
exceedingly important for Mississippi
agriculture not only that in storage
and marketing must be found for the
greatest crop ever produced in the
state, but to a large extent determin-
ing the future trend of the farming
operations is the opinion of Professor
Lloyd.
What to do Next
L. Save all roughage possible. The
hay crop will be short. Make corn
slower, watch ditch banks, hay and
pea vines and corn stalks take it's
place.
2. Prepare land for winter grazing
crops for hogs. For this plant rape,
red clover, oats, vetch and crimson
clover sarly in September.
3. Plant large acreage of oats.
Don't be discouraged over last years

HUNGARIAN RADICALS

BY Arthur E. Mann

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Stockholm, June 4.-Hint that Hun
garian radicals are planning "demo-
cratic revolution" was given today by
the Hungarian socialist delegate, DR..
Hunfi in an interview to the United
Press.
ga democratic revolution in the
mid d-European countries. - he said, dis
not only an interior question, but it is
one of the greatest Importance in gen
eral to European politics and vital
step toward peace and international
solidarity
Discussing the group deliberations of
socialists already here, Dr. Hunfi said:
81 have the strongest expectation
that the conference later will succeed
in uniting socialist groups on com
mon peace program. Then all socialists
can work for adoption of that program
by belligerents.
"Wea shave purposely ignored disput-
ed questions between belligerents in the
discussions to date because it is not
profitable to catalogue the wrangles of
war In addition, it has been apparent
from the first that the disputes of any
two belligerents would differ from
those of any other two. All such ques-
tions as these should be considered by
an international conference, where the
prejudices of any one nation cannot af-
feet the deliberations.

some freak boy here who is going to
work on our emotions and get us all
stirred up believe me | II not be there
This is my reply-Rev. DR.. Moss, pas
tor Of the First Baptist church Maiden,
Mass, for nearly twenty years writes
las follows:
"Neyer in all my ministry AaNerl
known of an evangelistie campaign so
free from all Objectionable features, So
thorough and satisfying, and so heart
edly and unitedly supported by the peo-
pie. The boy-as surely called and en-
dowed by God-as was Samuel of the
Old Testament or Timothy of the new,
is rare personality in every way. NO
happier, more wholesome, natural or
genuinely boyish nature could be found,
but God has given him rare and unusual
powers that are being used to bless mul-
titudes Maiden has had one of her
greatest blessings in the ministry OF
this remarkable boy and thousands will
remember him with lasting love and
gratitude. -
Every Sunday evening that this
boy preached in the Maiden church
it was necessary to hold two meetings
one at six and as the crowds passed
out at eight other throngs poured IN to
stay until ten. A boy must be more than
a freak to influence people in that
fashion. He is genius just as surely
as Billy Sunday is a genius. He comes
to our city to plead for no one denoml-
nation-to advance no pet ism-to say
nothing to hurt the feelings of any per
son of religious belief or of no pellet
be comes to plead the gospel of Christ
and do us all good. Hear him and judge
for yourselves.

TEN MILLION WILL REGISTER

Tomorrow will be registration day, and every male
between the age Of 21 and 30 inclusive must register

it does not prevent those registering entering the army
without waiting for the draft The United States still
wants 100000 more for the regular army and 13O
want to enlist in either Of these they do AS at
present understood the seective draft will commence
about the first of September and until that time those
registered will not be called on in any way 1t is under
stood still other preliminary work will be done in the
meanwhile in the way Of preparing the lists and elmn-
ating those who will not be called on. 1t is estimated
from 100000 to 100000 will be registered tomorrow
and Of these figures it out that perhaps one
third to one half will be eliminated unfit ac-
count Of employment This would leave 100000 from
whom to select the first unit of 50000O and this would
take one out of ten of those available. Of there
may be a second third calls; this depend

foresee as so much depends on Russia However the
thing to do just now is to register Aliens will not of
be subject to draft but they must register just the
same.

in a creek bottom about 200 yards wide
which is just as fertile and as thicidy
populated with plant growth as any
