Mississippi Development Board
To Introduce The State To
The United States

We must be able to offer him a
ready made farm at price that
is fair and reasonable; we must
sell to him on long time; we must
not try to see how much money we
can get out of him at the first or
as the first payment, but rather
must express a spirit of interest in
the settlers personal welfare and
ultimate success that will demand
his stopping among US permanently
The success of every settler will
stand out in the limelight as the
success of the entire community as
a whole and will be tribute to
every individual.
The Mississippi Development
Board is at this very moment
spending no little time and money
in its work among the large land
owners in the formulation of a prac-
tical, definite and comparative in
expensive plan for ready made
farms, that in general essentials
will be a standard. Such cooper
alton on the part of landowners. as
sures positive success and already
several have agreed to back the
movement to the limit
BY WHAT METHODS WILL SET
Tiers BE BROUGHT IN.
1t is at present contemplated
through the medium of the Adver-
tising Campaign, which will raise
over $100,0o0.00, to Immediately
thereafter launch a nation wide
campaign of advertising and publi-
city In such widespread publicity
the vital facts that pertain to the
State will be set forth and expressed
in, a potant manner, so as to sell
the State. California last year
spent large sums with immediate
response in settlers and tourists.
We can do the same.

Ford Sets Up New
Productive Mark.

Detroit, Mich, July 25.-A total of
1, $50, 185 automotive products were
built by various divisions of the Ford
Motor Company during the first six
months Of the present year, accord
ing to figures just compiled.
The output for the half year was
as follows:
Ford cars and trucks, domestic
and foreign, 941, ,245; Canada 49,
871. Fordson tractors, 58,557 and
Lincoln cars, 3,512.
! A new monthly record for produc-
tion was established by the domestic
assembly plants in June with a total
Of 175,040 Ford cars and trucks, ex-
ceeding the output of May by nearly
5000
New productions marks have been
set up almost daily since January,
but there hasn't been d time when
manufacture even approxlmated the
demand
With production increasing in an
endeavor to meet the demand, it is
expected that the company will
finish the year with a total approx
imating 100000 Ford cars and
trucks for domestic alone.
This is the opinion expressed by
officials in view of the present pros
porous conditions, the increasing
numbers Of orders and the outlook
for even better times prevailing
during the coming months.
In bringing up production, efforts
all along have been devoted to build
ing better. As a result many i'm
provements have been made and
though Ford cars and trucks are to-
day at the lowest price ever in the
history of the Company, they are of
higher quality and present greater
value to The purchaser than ever be-
fore
The demand for Ford trucks and
light delivery cars is particularly
optimistic since it reflects tha--a+l1

For molrhs Ford dealers have had
no stocks on hand. buyers absorbing
the cars and trucks ;ss rapidly as
they are turned out ot assembly
plants. With this condition con
tinuing production is certain to re-
main at capacity 20 aid dealers in
making deliveries as quickly as
possible.
We are giving you this intorma-
tion in order that you may be posted
on this phrase OF the situation, as
several of the dealers have expressed
themselves as bing concrnd as to the
matter of reports to the Srate au-
thorities. =
We trust that everyone is going|
actievly after the solicitation OF fer

and if properly introduced this year,
we should certainly have little
trouble in disposing of any fertilizer
allotment given US in the future.

nefin;te plans have been formu-
lated by the Mississippi Development
posrd that commencing about the
f;rst Of September, call for state
vide intensive campaign to secure
sum of 100000 upwards, which
will be entirely used in advertising
and publicizing the State of Miss
;ssippj to the balance of the United
s States and the world.
Exhaustive surveys, carried on
over period of the past six months,
have forcible demonstrated the fact,
that Mississippi's exceptional natural
resources, are practically unknown to
me remainder of the country.
Special study as to the needs of
tbe state. that are essentials in the
development of these nral re-
sources, have brought fht the
fact. tnat first and fol 1t. .
Mississippi needs more Fople to
settle upon the lands Re today
unprOductive and toa lnts and
purposes, under present Conditions
have become liabilities rather than
assets. Government tests, practical
demonstrations, prove conclusively
that these lands, by tilling, can be-
come as highly productive as the
lands elsewhere, that today are
selling for fabulous sums.
These lands are especially adopta-
Bile to extreme usefulness in dairy
farming, poultry raising, truck
farming satsuma, pecan and peach
oreharding, hog raising, etc.
The climate of Mississippi per-
mits greater degree of intensive
cultivation, probobly, than any other
section of the country The very
noderate cost by which lands can be
procured in this State is of much
and vital interest to the farmers of
those parts of the United Staes,
where less number of growing days
pc, year pertains. Two hundred and
sixty growing days per year makes
possible almost year round produc-
tief from the soil.

SENNE1T CONNER

SEM
Dentvil1e, July 12.-Following two
hours after Theo. G. Bil6o had I'm
ished addressing large picnic crowd
here today, Sennett Conner, candidate
for governor, directed his remarks
chiefly to the ex-governor and through
out the course of his hours address
flayed Bilbo and held his shortcom-
{ngs up before the people, who lis
tened attentively throughout his ad-
dress.
Picking Jail Bird.
Mr.. Conner declared that he would
much prefer to make statesmaniy
address and. leave out all mention OF a
to thousands of people, but that since
the principal plank in Bilbo's plat
form was Mike Conner and since ne
seemed to consides the only appre-
ciable obstruction in his path to be
Mike Conner, that he proposed TO
shed his coat, roll up his sleeves and
"pick a Jail bird and skin an asylum
skunk"
"I think 1T is a sad day for any
state." said Mr.. Conner when a
man can joke his wcy from the jail
house to the governors mansion, Bill
bo's political life began with bribery
and closed with the Insane Asylum
scandal, and now his new birth has
taken place in q Jail house."
"Working on Biibo."
Responding to the charge that ne
does not know how to work, Mr. Con-
ner said that before he was twenty
one he had worked for and secured
two diplomas from the State Uni
versity and that he got one from
Yale with distinction in his class
Ha said further that he had repre-
.ented more clients in one year IN
the courts Of South Mississippi than
Rilbo had in ten years and in adol-
ton he had kept books two years ana
had helped run a store and farm.

of votes that will forever end his At

! Scores eiIbo's Record.
Turning to Bilbo's record and the
thirty-two constructive measures fsr
~bicb he claimed exclusive credit.
Mr. Conner declared His record Is
"A weak as his platform and his piat-
form Is as rotten as his record. he
