NEWS LETTER FROM
A. & nj. COLLEGE

A. 4. M. College, MISS, NOV.
5.-A more prosperous Missis-
sippi was the keynote of the
discission carried on by the com
mittee of arrangements for the
mammouth industrial and ag-
roicultural conference which
convenes at the college on De
cember IL, in their preliminary
meeting held here recntly.
The commottee was highly
successful and indicates that
the conference will accomplish
great things. The different
problems of the state as repre-
sentatives individuals sitting
out the biggest questions to
put before the conference thru
competent speakers at it's meet
ing on December 12.
The concensus opinion seemed
tc center about the fact that
Mississippi was suffering be-
cause of lack of unified effort
and cooperation in carrying out
of any movement that looked to
the betterment of the state. Con
structive cooperation is needed
instead of destructive compe--
tition. There were no cut and
dried plans discussed at the meet
ing and no ulterior motive pre-
sented intself nor desire to shape
legislation. 1t was simply dis
cussion of the distressing plight
of the agricultural situation and
possible remedial meatures.
The most recent issue OF the
Alumni Quarterly of Mississippi
A. &. NJ. College contains COM
plete and comprehensive survey

their relation to conditions in tn
