Iron Progressive Farmer, Dec. 81
For the average Southern farmer.
We canpot think OF a better resolution
for the New Year than n calling
for better thar average Yields. Aver
age yields, whatever the mean,
over a period Of years, little more
than q living wage But as the Indi-
yidual farmer rises above the average,
his net profits, nine times in ten, CORE
%spondingly rise. The man who raises
cotton must see that our average OF
about Onethird OF a bale per acre can
only mean poverty to the grower; the
man who grows corn and oats al our
average rate of Is to 20 bushels per
acre must see that there can be no
profit in such yields; our peanut ana
tobacco farmers. our dairy aHd general
livestock farmers must see that SO

A group of men sincerely concern.
ed in the public life and well-being
of Mississippi, and believing that the
interests of the state can be perma-
nently advanced only by lettering the
conditions of the peopI: who compose
the state, have held several confer
ences during the past few weeks to
consider the ACCESSIBILITY Of giving
some concrete expression to the
thought which prompted their deliber.
ations. They have finally proposed the
following form of organization, and
submit it to the people Of Mississippi,
with good hope that it may prove an
instrument of substantial and perma-
nent good. .
The name Of this association is to
be The Mississippi Welfare League.
OBJECT.
The object of the League shall be
the promotion of the general welfare
Of all the people Of Mississippi; ty
mean of broader and wiser education

developing greater respect for the
law, and securing its better enforce
ment; to the FINAL end that all our
people. may the more fully enjoy and
appreciate the common blessings OF
life, liberty and the pusuit Of happi-
mesa. It is realized that those aims,
fundamental as they n to the civic
life of the state, can be accomplished
only by developing a public senti-
ment which shall secure and maintain
them. 1t is therefore the hope and
purpose of this association to COOP
crate with, and eventually serve as a
clearing house for, all the non-po-
litical bodies in Mississippi which
seek to promote public opinion toward

GEORGIA COTTON
MILL MEN. ASK
RETURN OF ROADS
Association Sends Letter to
Senators and Congress-
men Asking Opposition to
Government Ownership

Urging the Georgia delegation in
the senate and house of representa-
tlVeS to oppose the plan for contin-
ued government control of railroads,
the Cotton Manufacturers Assoc1a-
ton of Georgia has sent to each con-
gresham and senator from Georgia
a letter expressing the views of the
textile men on the transportation Sit
uation.
This letter is as follows:
AT q recent meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the Cotton Manu-
facturers Association of Georgia,
which association represents more
than 80 per cent of the cotton manu-
featuring industry in Georgia, strong
resolutions were passed in opposition
to government ownership of railroads
or any extended government opera
ton longer than necessary to COM
plete present obligations.
I'VE believe that the authority by
congress for federal control was a
war measure solely and not an ex-
pertinent for continued government
ownership or operation. An early set
Element of this question seems to US
to be most important to commercial
and industrial welfare of this coun-
try. y -.
Our past progress is largely due
to competition in service of carriers,
If not in rates. Lack of competition
in the carrying system of the coun-
try logically leads to poor service.
We believe there should be no rate
competition, and that the rate making
power should Immediately revert TO
the interstate commerce commission.
A revision of the anti-pooling law and
broadening of the powers of the
interstate commerce commission SO
as to allow a continuation of certain
Of the economies introduced by the
present railroad administration, such
as joint use of terminals and other
facilities would in our opinion be
beneficial to both the public and the
carriers. With recent experiences
before us. the interstate commerce
commission can be fully trusted to
allow such rates as will be adequate
for the needs of the railroads for
maintenance and expansion. as well
as safeguard the interest Of the pub
lie.
For a great many reasons which
logically present themselves against
government ownership or control of
railroads, we believe y great ma
jority of the people Of Georgia favor
quick return of railroads to their
owners for private operation.
I'm behalf of our association we
urge you to use your influence to
this end. *.--
yours very truly,

This program, worked out in de-
tail by the Washington State Set
Element association, presents the sal

Washington projects.
1--WE are anticipating and trying
to foreStall the reconstruction prob
lens that will soon confront every
state and community" said Thomas
B. Hill, executive secretary of. the
Washington Land Settlement asso-
citation Trying to solve them be-
fore they get out of hand. =
THE main idea of our plan is that
the settler shall be a going con-
Germ as soon as he's placed on the
soil.
Everything possible will be done
to make him an immediate producing
unit ~.
comfortable homes, outbuildings,
fences, equipment and stock are to
be on the ground when the farmer
moves in. Everything will be done
according to the most expert adj
wise.
I'm a nutshell, we hope to make
farms so easily available and. farm
life so attractive that the top-heavSJ-
cities will shift their surplus popu-
lation to agricultural production for
the general prosperity and secur-
ity.'
Mayor IIansons proposal is that
the state of Washington issue $780,
100000 bonds to finance the project.
He believes that under state con-
troll the farmer can buy at actual
cost, paying 4 per cent interest and
adding thereto per cent annually
on the principal, which would in a
few years, like rural credit bank
loans, pay off the principal and as
. sure ownership.
The government, which has ex-
pressed a desire to cooperate in
land projects of this kind, is expect
ed to undertake Or aid in the initial
work of reclamation.
