CLARKSDALE, Miss, March 81
Having learned their Lesson from the
drought, Mississippi planters and ten
ants have planned to raise the largest
food crops in the history of the State.
From the present outlook, there will
be no Affection farms in Mississippi
this year, but each plantation will have
good acreages of such crops as corn,
oats, alfalfa, vegetables and pasturage.
From all parts of the State, reports
have been received of a heavy back-to-
farm drift by families in search
mainly for food and shelter They were
reported to be coming in streams from
cities where employment was scarce.
They have gone into the drought
areas as we'll as the more fortunate sec
tions in the belief that a second
drought will not hit in the same place.
Labor was reported in plenty over the
State, and lowlands at times subject to
overflow and new grounds were re-
ported ploughed up ready for the
Spring planting.
Agricultural leaders were watching
the movement to determine If it would
thwart their efforts to reduce the cot
ton acreage so a better price could be
commanded for this years crop. Most
of them agree that these city wearied
farmers present an uncertain element
although all of them we're reported
ready to diversity. Some of the observ-
ers estimate a 10 per cent cut under
the average cotton crop and others go
as high as Is per cent.
Encouragement to diversification also
was given by the distribution by the
Red Cross Of thousands of packages

STUDENTS MORALS
0. K. AT OKLAHOMA
ProberS, However, Hear
Charge of Misuse Of Funds
by Faculty Members.

~ the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY, March 3l.-In-
formed there was nothing to tell them
about student morals at the University
Of Oklahoma, State Senate investigators
gathered last night to hear details con-
corning alleged misuse of funds by
faculty members and employees and
hints Of immortality directed at a
teacher.
Picking apart Gov. W. H. Murray
charges of fragrant immortality" and
misuse of State money, the Legislative
Committee drew from Alva Mcdonald,
the Governors private investigator,
names of four persons he said were in
volved in af1davits concerning expendi-
lures.
Mcdonald testified he had not been
instructed to probe campus morality
wrongdoing. but that he had obtained a
statement attacking the morality of
"one teacher" He was instructed to
bring before the Senators his partly
completed report to the Governor.
At the outset of the hearing the COM
rnittee turned down a request of Gov.
Murray that they disregard "immor-
atty" phases of the investigation. The
Governor said he feared such an inquiry
would do more harm than good.
The aff1davits Mcdonald gave the
Governor, involving alleged expense ac-
count juggling, named Edna Mcdaniel,
dean OF women; Walter W. Kraft, utili-
ties and buildings superintendent; Fred
ric Holmberg, dean of fine arts, and
James Craven, landscape gardener.
Head Plumber L. r. Benning, McDon-
aid said, might be involved.
The investigator, formerly United
States marshal whose two children are
University of Oklahoma graduates, said
he made no inquiry into the affairs or
conduct of DR.. w. B. Bizzell, university
president.
