Renewed Confidence
Stimulates Farmers

With more corn in the crib, more hay
in the stack, more meat being readled
for the smokehouse, more money in the
pocket, and with the assurance of the
continuation of legal devices response
BILE for this remarkable recovery from
depression. Mississippi farmers are
viewing the close of 1884 and the begin
ming of 1885 with renewed confidence.
In thus summarizing the agricultural
situation in Mississippi, J. c. Holton,
commissioner of agriculture, calls atten-
tion to the fact that the three-year
period ended is notable because, COIN
cident with such economic progress was
conclusive test of production control,
"The last year of uncontrolled pro-
duction was in 1882, and that year Mis-
sissipp produced 1,1S0O00 bales of cot
| ton, valued at $35, 100000 and seed worth
SIS, 764 900. In 1888, the plow-up cam
i uagn was introduced; and production
was 1,l59,00O, bales valued at $57,O00,OO0
and seed worth $7,59S,000, In 1884 the
AAA program of cooperation meshed
with the Bankhead program of compul-
sion; and production was ,l45,O00 bales,
valued at $74 ,425 900 and seed worth
81 8 100000
"But the full benefit of rationalized
farming did not end with increased
lcotton valuation. The Surplus cotton
acreage--it was reduced in Mississippi
from 4,243 900 acres in 1880 to 2,602 900
acres in 1934-was planted to corn hay,
soy beans, peas, sweet potatoes and
other deficient food and feed crops, so
that today the state has the most plen-
tiful supply of decade.
: "All field commodities produced on
I state farms were valued in 1882 at $685.
000000, in 1888 at $100,000,000, and in
:, 1884 at approximately $l50,000,000. The
f income of the average farmer was 1920
f in 1922, $32l in 1888, and $3.50 in 1884
If, to the CROP valuation of the closing
). year is added approximately $l5,000,00C
Z in bele it payments and S15,000,000 il
increased livestock valuation, the in
t come of the average Mississippi farmer
lis $577 which is more than two and
d half times his income of two years ago
y 81 sincerely believe that we are a
y last upon safe, sure ground. With cot
j. ton production legally restrained at tha
e point which will yield a profit, and with
otherwise excess acreage used to supply
J. our deficiency of food and feed thu
