Commissioner Urges
Home Production
FARMERS URGED TO PRO-
DUCE MEAT AT HOME.

Approaching winter, alw a y S
viewed with mingled feelings OF
JOY and regret, means among
other things the return of hog
killing weather and another OPP
portunity for Mississippi farmers
to profit by foresight, writes }.
C. Holton, commissioner of agri
culture.
Calling attention to the fact
that pork production is not strict.
ly a commercial enterprise in the
cotton producing states, the Com
missioner stated that swine popu
|lation in Mississippi, 927 900 head
exceeds that in Arkansas, Louis
lana, Oklahoma, South Carolina
and Florida, but is slight by com
parison with Iowa's 7,250,00t
head, and other states wheer corn
production is a principal crop and
hogs are the principal market
outlet for surplus corn.
Because of grain scarcity in
the United States as a whole, corn
price is high and the corn-hog "a
ton is somewhat unfavorable to
hogs. This, however, is not al
important factor from
the mississippi viewpoint. oui
corn crop is well above the long
time average and much corn Ii
being sold in nearby markets
The sale Of live hogs is not con-
siderable, but the purchase o.
pork products is general. The
factor of Importance in Mississip-
pi, therefore, is the price of cured
meats and lard, and the need Of
more meat produced on Mississippi
farms is emphasized by ven q
casual Investigation of prevailine
prices of ham, bacon, lard and
cooking meat.
Gin the olden days the smoke
house was an essential part %
every farmstead. for means OF
communication were such that IN
many instances the meat suppl.
was produced at home or the
family endured short rations. al
along there was difficulty in tn,
curing of meat, and gradually but
surely State farmers abandoned
pork production to enter NOR,
heavily the cotton production
Among other advantages of tn,
new program in Southern agrIcul-
ture is the provision of CONNER
cial curing establishments, along
with information for the safe cur
ing of pork under farm conditions,
; so that today most of the chance
has been removed and the curing
OF home produced meats is rap
idly increasing.
"Our cotton crop yielded this
year the largest cash income
since before the depression, ano
the important thing now is &
conserve it. Among our largest
customary expenditures is thai
for meat, and there is still tim,
to reduce that expenditure to The
minimum

Director Corley
Warns Sportsmen
GAME COMMISSIONERS GIVES
LAWS REGARDING HUNT

Jackson. - With Mississippi

ST Corley, director of conservation

rules and regulations formulated
by the State Game and Fish Com.

proper observance of the rules

"Game wardens in the counties
acting on the instructions Of the
commission, ri carrying forward
a concentrated drive to prevent
the sale OF game fish, game birds
and other animals in the protect
ed group" he said. "This drive
is not underway with the idea Of
piling up fines on sportsmen, but
to cooperate with them in con-
serving u wildlife.'
Stating that many of the sports
men might have scanned the
rules and regulations without CIV
ing them full consideration and
study, Director Corley pointed
out that the following more i'm.
portant rules should be observed
Under the law, it was pointed
out that purchasers of game birds
and fish are equally as guilty as
the seller.
Guns must be plugged to three
shots. This rule applies to al
types of hunting.
Bag limits must be watched
The limit for quail is IL birds
with no person allowed to have
over "a at any time. This means
that there shall be no accumula
lions in "ice boxes or other stor.
age places.
For ducks, the bag limit is II
of all kind, and not ten of eaci
type.
The limit on geese is four.
Doves, the bag limit is 20.
In connection with the seasons
being open, Director Corley call
cd attention to the fact that tn,
dove season in North Mississippi
does NOT open until December
20.
This opening date" he ex
planned, twas fixed by the U. $
Biological Survey at Washing
ton"
Under conservation laws of TIT
state, all hunters, male and femal,
16 years of age and over, must

MRS. ROOSEVELT
URGES HONESTY
Tells Business Women En-.
pIoyer-EmpIoye Peace
Would Follow.

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, intro
duced as the highest-paid woman in
the United States last year, recon-
mended honesty as basis of a fresh
understanding between employer and
employe to approximately 300 mem
bers and guests of the District Busi-
ness and Professional Women's Club
last night.
Speaking at a dinner meeting at
the Washington Hotel on the topic.
"New Outlooks on Business" Mrs.
Roosevelt suggested that as soon as
people realize it is better to try to
run things for the best Of all con-
cerned, a big step will be made for
ward in business.
With reference to youth. she pointed
out the dificulty of reconciling theo-
ries with facts in business and pro-
fessional life and declared 'it is quite
an indictment-not so easy to an
swer"-when a young person exclaims
that "the big people whose names we
see in the paper don't live up to what
we were taught"
Road to Peace.
A fresh set of values in the busi-
neSses and professions would lead TO
the same thing in government, she
declared, and advanced the theory
that honesty would also be a road to
peace.
II am not at all sure that these
conferences wouldn't get somewhere
If we dared to be honest with each
other" she said II am not at all
sure that this isn't the way to peace"
Mrs. Roosevelts address, featuring
0 program in which the District Busi-
ness and Professional Women's Club

Neu Excise
Taxes Apply
On Fats, Oils

Washington, Aug. 21.-(AP)-New
Federal excise taxes on imported fats
and oils, expected to be felt by Amer
lean consumers and by producers and
professors in all parts of the world,
went into effect today.
The levies, ranging from two to four
and a half cents a pound, were i'm
posed by the 1886 revenue act on tai
low and certain other inedible fats
and greaeses, and on several vege-
table oils and oil bearing seeds.
The new taxes are in addition to
those voted by Congress in 134 over
the opposition of President Roosevelt
on cocoanut oil. ~
Bureau of Agriculture Economics
experts and representatives Of affect
ed producers and manufacturers join
ed today in the prediction of marked
changes in the trade uses of several
of the products.
Officials estimated the taxes would
produce about $1O,OOO,0OO annual rev.
enue. Congressional sponsors and
farm organization advocates made it
cyear, however, their primary aim
was to increase prices Of domestic
fats and oils.
Senator Josiah w. Bailey, who spon-
sored the oil tax amendment to the
revenue act, said the imported pro-
ducts were competitive with fats and
oils produced on the farms in our
country" and that the new taxes were
needed to plug loopholes in the 1884
act

Destroyers Fail

Which Sent SOS

San Diego, CAL, Aug. 21.-(AP)
Three navy destrOyers, search
lights blazing in the darkness,
early today combined the Pacific
where the steamship San joaquin
had been reported sinking, with
it's crew taking to Iifeboats.
Reaching the position $50 miles
west of Guadalupe island, report
ed by the San joaquin in mys-
ferrous sos calls Wednesday and
yesterday, the speeding destroyers
found no trace of the vessel.
A coast guard cutter was dis
patched to join the hunt this
morning.
Mystery still envelOped the
identity of the San joaquin, since
the only craft listed in marine
records by that name is safely
locked at San Pedro.
