MILK PRODUCTION
GREATLY INCREASED IN
MISSISSIPPI DURING 1920

A billion dollar industry fourishes
along the right of way of the Illinois
Central through the southern terri
tory, according to H. j. Schwietert,
general development agent Of the
Illinois Central System, VINO contri-
butes an article to the Illinois Cen
tral Magazine for July.
The industry of which he tells is
dairying, and in 1919, he points out,
dairy cows in the United States pro-
duced milk valued at $2,578, ,60O, 900,
which was $354, $4,000 greater than
the value of our entire wheat crop
for that year. Corn is the only farm
crop which has a greater money val
ue.
There was a decrease in milk pro-
duced in the United States as a whole
for 1920, but Mississippi, especially
in the territory traversed by the Illi-
nois Central, showed remarkable
increase. :. The development bureau
Of the Illinois Central has conducted
dairy campaigns and lectured to
thousands of farmers in this district.
Reports from the managers Of some
of the creameries located on the Illi-
nois Central show q tremendous
growth in the production Of butter
in the first five months of 1921 as
compared with the first FIVE months
Of 1920.

dress of the opening exercises was

gentlemen gave words of inspiration
and encouragement to the colored

of the colored race in this county, Is

rolled for the session on opening day

come from Grenada, Montgomery

loosening Of loans from other sources.
Then, too, the banker pointed out,
the federal reserve banks are not
counted out. From statements of
officials of the reserve system, Mr..
Winston says that there is no dan
ger of reserve banks calling loans
on cotton and agricultural paper. 1t
is true that banks are not making
loans on factors paper ineligible to
rediscount at reserve banks, but
there is difference between this
form Of security and the note of the
planter himself. The former is
classed as finance paper and is not
proper security under the reserve
bank ruling. Agricultural paper is
eligible for rediscount at reserve
banks and is permissible es security
for loans.

street in this city.
He became i'll about ten days pre-.
viously A pain in the instep of one
OF his feet became so severe that he
had to use cane in walking, was
the first appearance of the malady
that took him away. Gradually the
pain worked it's way up his leg and in
to his back when he had to take to
his bed. He sufferd intensely. but
bore it all patiently and with that
calm demeanor characteristic of the
man. His wife had gone to Mont
eagle where she was operating a
boarding house, and he only con-
sented for her to be advised of his
condition after repeated entreaties.
but as soon as the news reached Mrs.
Barbee, she made haste to reach bis
bedside where she watched and wait
ed with only that care and anxiety
that the good wife alone knows.
Mr.. Barbee was born at German
town, Tenn, February 10, 1857. He
first came to Grenada in 1895. He
was fortunate in winning the heart
and hand Of Miss Minnie Lake. the
only daughter of; Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
W. Lake. He engaged in various
lines of business. For a long while
he was the travelling salesman for
this territory of large saddlery con-

but~was~ never Too busy at any time
to turn aside from his own affairs to
promote any business or enterprise
that was of general concern to the
community. For number of wears
he had served as president of the
central Fair and Live Stock Associa-
ton at Grenada, and it is perhaps
due to his efforts more than any 9th
er one man in the community that
the FAR has been perpetuated.
He was. .considerate man. He
was KIND, patient and obliging and
1t was his aim on all occasions to be
gentleman. He was loyal and true
to his friends and sincere in all he
did. Such a man could not have
lived in vain. He will be missed as
factor in the life of Grenada. When
he was taken ill, he was serving as
Road Commissioner for the county
and would have given his best efforts
towards a proper direction of road

While Mr.. Barbee had lived be-

apparently hale and hearty and no

Grim Reaper claiming him 90 soon.

After the business end of the meet
ing had been concluded, the directors
room soon filled with both men and
women to enjoy the social part of the
meeting. j. H. Caldwell, one of
Charleston's leading attorneys, pre-
sided. The first feature was the dane
ing of little Miss Mildred Jones,
granddaughter of Mr.. and Mrs. E. A.
Humphreys. Then the audience was
charmed with the singing of Mrs. F.
S. Hill, who was accompanied by Miss
Esther BrOadstreet on the piano. The
master of ceremonies presented Rev.
J. r. Cunningham, who in trun pre-
sented Rev. G.. H. Williamson of the
F rst Presbyterian Church of Mem
phis, who was the speaker of the day.
Mr.. Williamson's subject was The
Need of Community Cooperation"
which he ably handled for thirty min
utes or more much to the delight of
his hearers.
Mr.. Williamson gave what was
new way to Interpretation of the
parable of the ten talents. He in
sisted that the one talent man was
just as necessary in the economy of
the world as the five or ten talented
man. He argued that the world
than it did Of the five or more talent
men, and the fact that this is true,
imposed all the more greater obliga-
tions on the five talent men. He
therefore pointed out that it was the
duty Of banks, schools, towns, public
enterprises and communities in gen.
% %oh Il
ing hand to the one talent people,
that the proper development of So
ciety and general prosperity largely
depended upon that being done,
Mr.. Williamson's address was
splendid appeal for the practice of
unSelfshness and for a just compre-
hension of the needs Of those less.
favored by fortune. Happily it has.
been the policy of the Grenada Bank
for many years to remember the one
talent man-"The need of community
Cooperation" has been it's chief
slogan.
Mr.. Williamson made fine i'm
preston, on all who had the good for
tune to hear him. He is an able
thinker and knows how to present
his convictions most convincingly
from the platform. When he had
finished speaking, the dinner in the
way of Brunswick Stew, barbecued
mutton and broiled chicken and
other edibles, which had been pre-
pared at Spring Lake, was announced
and but~little time was lost in reach
ing this favored resort, the scene of
so many former dinners. Everybody
was pleased and the elmer man" was \
most thoroughly satisfied.
