INGRATITUDE

IL looks TO US as II the majority OF
the people OF Iron Mountain are shy
OF gratitude and that they showed il
last week when they defeated Ed.
Kingsford for mayor OF the city What
they ought 10 have done was 20 have
given him the honor without opposi-
tion and by unanimous vote, Our
reason for thinking SO Is that we are
convinced that Ed kigsfords living
al Iron Mountain brought the Ford
plant TO that town mo other consid-
Grafton. Iron Mountain is not ms logi-
cal site for the plat as several places
that We can name but the fact that II
was Mr. Kingsford's home town out
weighed all other considerations and
Iron Mountain got an industry that
any other town the peninsula would
have given Ed. Kingsford a mayors
position for life had he brought II to
one OF them.
OF course, We know that there are
political conditions that dictated Mr..
Kingsford's defeat. Perhaps those po-
litical conditions were sufficient, un-'
der any other circumstance 10 have
made his defeat necessary We are
not interested in Iron Mountain poll
ties They are minor consideration.
Those opposed TO the party that
supported Kingsford could and
should have found other means OF
expressing their opposition. Ingrati-
tude Is ingratitude no matter what
the mitigating cirstances may have
been. Iron Mountain ought not 10
have slapped Mr. Kingsford person
ally. It's people should have been big
enough to forget their political ami
mosities for the moment and honor
the man who did so much for them
instead OF slapping him in the face.

During the fiscal year 1922, the
seed testing laboratories of the Blu
reau of Plant Industry. United States
Department of Agriculture. received
and examined 29,671 samples of
seed. Of these. 400 came to the
laboratory at Washington, and r.
571 to the five branch seed testing
laboratories maintained i'll co-opera-
ton with the State institutions.
These samples represent both veg
etable and field seeds from farmers,
seed dealers, and investigators, to
whom reports of analysis were sent,
showing the presence of weed seeds
and worthless material. or the germi-
nation, or both, as requested.
Through this service the work of the
seed laboratories is immedi-
ately applied to practical agriculture.
A total of $500 samples of vegeta-
BILE seeds were purchased and tested
for termination, and the results of
these tests will be published. Some
of these Seeds-garden peas-were
also grown in the field for trueneSS

syrup is Of great Importance In the
agricultural scheme of a large area
of the South. In many sections cot
ton can no longer be profitably pro-
duced on account of ravages of the
boil weevil. 1t is necessary to adopt
a more diversified scheme of agri-
culture, and sugar cane is one of the
crops on which greater reliance
should be placed. 1t is one of the
surest crops which can be grown III
this region. The harvesting and pro-
duction of cane syrup come at time
of the year when farm labor can be
used very advantageously for that
purpose. Farmers of the South are
eager to increase their acreage of
sugar cane. This is not possible, how
ever, unless a more adequate market
is developed for cane syrup through
uniform grading.
Last year the bureau received Il
number of requests for assistance
along this line and will undertake
the solution Of chemical problems in
volved in the plan of number of
cooperative cane syrup associations
which have organized for the purpose
of blending cane syrup on Il large
scale in central rehandling and can
ming plants. These associations are
planning to use the inyertase method
developed by the bureau for the pur-
pose of producing a syrup that will
not crystalline.
While great deal of progress has
been made in solving the difficult
ties which stand in the way of pro-
ducing Il uniform can syrup of the
highest grade. Il number Of points
still remain TO be worked out. How
ever, improved larger scale methods
for handling cane syrup have now be-
come possible through the OrganiZa-
ton of the cooperative cane syrup
associations and the operation Of cen
trail blending plants.

WELCOME 1923

The Brandon News welcomes the
coming Of the new year, principally
because ii offers an opportunity for
us to go on record with a new pledge
of service to Rankin County.
The past year has found us lined
up with the more progressive of our
citizenship in an effort to promote
the growth and development of our
home county and the State at large.
We have done our level best to help
our farmers, our merchants, our
county officials by publishing the
best newspaper we were capable of.
And 1928 will find us fighting every
inch of the way to give Rankin
County the best Community paper
published in the State.
Following In the footsteps of such
brilliant editors as FrantZ, Tabor,
Henry, Cunningham and the beloved
Wayne May, all of whom have made
enviable records as publishers of
Rankin County newspapers, our task
is not an easy one.
Being human, we will make mis-
takes, yet we would like to ask our
readers to believe that if mistake
is made it win be one of the head
and not of the heart
