sity for complying with the law Gre |
ating it, the fifth Mississippi branch /
agricultural experiment station is /
about to get under way Director J. /

ment stations reports that the plans
for the branch station for the central
brown loan area provided for by the
Legislature of 1920, to be located at
Raymond, Kinds county contiguous
to the SSHinGs County Agricultural
High school are completed. Mr..
Kicks reports that the state has just
taken actual possession Of the plots
OF ground secured for this station, as
from Sept, 20, 1920. They expect 10
push experimental work in all
branches of the agricultural indus
try, including the soil analysis, chem
ical and structural, which are now
in progress. 1t is the intention of
Director Kicks whenA this station is
fully equipped and established to
push experiments in horticultural
products as well as in field and sta
pie crops. 1t is intended that this
station shall serve two purposes, the
first as an organized unit Of the agri-
| cultural experiment station system tc
study the possibilities for staple and
horticultural products, and, secon-
darby, TO be conducted as a demon
| stration farm.
Being adjacent to the Kinds Coun-
! ty Agricultural High school grounds,
| it will be accessible to the students
enrolled there, who will have access
| to the experimental plats and can see
/ the practical results of all experiment
| tai work.
| Director Kicks wishes to emphasize
this one point very strongly: That
! while this station is located adjacent
| to the Kinds county scsool, it is to
be distinctly understood that it viii
be open to inspection and study BY
the students Of any other agricultural
! high school in the state, who must,
| however, he accompanied by their
! agricultural Instructors. 1t is also
the purpose and policy Of the ex-
pertinent station staff to extend the
advantages of this as well as other
experiment stations to the farmers
BUSINESS men, educators and students
from any other county, community Or
I institution.
This is the fifth of the series or
c@ain Of these important pl.nts and
/ it is pested within the next two
! years the results obtained from its
| operations VIII be found TO fully jus
! tify the expense incurred and prove
the wisdom and practical common
| sense OF the lawmakers in providing
! for its establishment.
