He stated that while his address was intended to be in no manner political. there were some public matters that he thought ought to be pondered over and studied even though they were of political nature.
 He emphasized the fact that sne present high taxes were not the re- suit of high cost of government. but because of inefficient government in the past which the present genera ton must pay for. He said that no reduction in taxation need be looked for in Mississippi In the near future. but that a real reduction could De had if the people of the state would study and adopt better marketing methods, encourage outside capital Q come within the state and treat 1t fairly after it had come, which wouli make it possible for a more fairly distributed taxation because it wodld create greater population to bear the tax burden.
 The restrictive laws of the stare lad kept the state from the benefits of manufacturing industries. and re- ferred to the loss of the Bogaiousa Lumber company as having been one of the great industries that was ke3t out of Mississippi and was welcome q in the sister state of Louisiana.

 T began to be bored to death with the grind, Jim. I hated the place. It got so I knew just what I was to do each day. I knew in advance just what everyone that I met would say to me. For months no one had sup piled me the salt of the unexpected. Every girl in the town said the same things in answer to my protestations l-and they all believed them.

Cary, director of the Farm ers' Summer school. the dates for which had been announced for July 29-August 5, announces change of date to July 22 to July 2a.
 The program for Farmers Week has been only tentatively arranged but. like all previous similar events. all lectures and demonstrations will be thoroughly practical and con ducted by men and women well trained in their particular lines.
 The farmers in their annual sum mer school will have special pro- grams, as will the farm women and also the club boys and girls. but on certain occasions all will come to- gether and participate in programs of general nature,
 While the farmers and their fam < ilies are attending their exercises the county agents and the home demon stration agents will be in conference reviewing the work of the past year and planning the work of the en- suing year for the purpose of maiS- ing it more efficient and at. the same time more practical and helpful
 The season of year will be ideal for the gathering at Auburn and in view of the renewed appreciation of the importance of agriculture and the ever increasing demand for the latest information on agricultural problems 1t Is evident that the an- nral gathering this year will be at tended by hundreds and perhaps thousands of farm people.
