Greatest Piece of Work
Attempted By Agriculture
in State for Many Years
Rankin County Continues To Work On Quota For Cotton
Association and Farm Bureau; Campaign Will Con-
tnue Through December.

Notwithstanding the fact
that last weeks work was
highly satisfactory and very
encouraging, we have not
yet reached the quota as
signed in cotton pledges, so
the campaign will continue
until the latter part of Dec.
in order to work every COM
munity in the county. If
your community has not had
a meeting and heard the
plan explained, you should
get in touch with your coun-
ty agent and cooperate with
him towards getting your
people lined up on this work.
This is the greatest piece of
work attempted by agricul-
ture in this state in many
years and will mean millions
of dollars to be turned into
the trade channels of our
state eyery wear If we can
divert it from the financial
interests of commercial
centers. This is not a fight
on local cotton buyers,
whenever they hear the
plan explained in detail they
it and at once see
that it's adoption will mean
more cash trade and event
ually a more prosperous
class of farmers in all the
cotton growing states.
Every County Being Canvassed.
According to the United States
census figures 20 per cent Of the
cotton is grown under mortgage.
Thirty years ago fifty per cent of
he farms in California were operat-
ed under the same system; today
after perfecting system of orderly
marketing only three per cent of
their farms are operated under a
mortgage. Their problem was to
work out a system of marketing a
perishable product and have 1t reach
the consumer in first class condition,
while ours is to handle a non-perish-
able product, the best collateral Of
any crop grown.
The campaign continues through
out the state, every county is being
which means that every
farmer in the state will have an Op-
portunity to sign the pledge with
the assurance that his brother farmer
will be In the same association, not
only Is this state being organized
but Louisiana also, these two will
make a total of ten cotton growing
states besides the delta of Mississippi
in long staple, federated into one
agency. Practically every
farmer who pledges his cotton Is
also joining the Farm Bureau and
will help with his membership to
put across the big Nitrate of Soda
and fertilizer deals, and eventually
to establish commodity marketing
for every crop that can
be made cash sale Of

Survey Begun On State Highway This Week In Rankin
County, May Be Three Months Before Actual Work
On Road Is Begun.

The work on the State
Highway has at last begun
in our county. A party of
surveyors, with Claude
Woodfin as chief, is at work
surveying the road now.
This road is called the
Vicksburg- Meridian Road,
and is the main highway be-
tween Vicksburg and Merid-
ian. Six miles of the road in
our county is graveled al
ready.
This party has been sur
veying the road in Scott
County lately, also in Clai-
borne County. Mr.. Woodfin
says the people of Rankin
County do not know what
bad roads are. They are
much worse in places in the
two counties he has just
worked in. The road be-
tween Forest and Meridian
was surveyed dir e ly
through the woods.
Will Begin Work At PeIahatchie.
He says that the worst roads are
in Claiborne County. These are the
old roads built at the time of the
Civil War, near Port Gibson, and
they have never been changed. SO
Rankin is not the only bad road
county" In the State.
They are beginning the survey at
the town of Pelahatchie, and work
ing this way. 1t will take them
about ten days to reach Brandon.
There are about twenty-one miles
in this stretch of road to be surveyed,
and it will take a month to complete
the work. Then it will take month
to draw the plans. These plans will
be sent off to be passed by the gov
ernment. 1t sometimes takes a long
while for the plans to be passed.
But they are running short of work
now, and Mr.. Woodfin thinks that
the plans will be passed in a months
time. However, it may be longer
than one month before they are pass
ed on.
This means that it will take three
months at least, to get ready to be-
gin actual work on the road, when
will be next February or March.
AS the bonds have been sold, and
the money Is In the bank, the actual
work will probably begin as soon as
the plans are passed by the govern
ment.
There are eight men in this party
of surveyors. One of them, M. U.
Harrison, is n Rankin County boy
His home is at Florence, Miss. Mr.
Woodfin, the chief. Is the man who
surveyed the road between Jackson
and Clinton. 1t Is Of rock asphalt,
and Is one Of the best roads In the
State.
After the plans have been passed,
the contract will be let to one man
for the building of the road, and IL
will take from eight month to year
and half to finish the entire road.
Good roads are essential to the de-
velopment of our state, just as they
have been necessary in the develop
ment Of other states. Good roads
will pave the way for many things
woefully needed for Mississippfs
progress.
The fact that the State Highway
Commission has taken over this
road means that it is out of the hands
of the county, and the actual build
ing Of it is in the hands of the State.
