Farmers..Need More
Livestock Food Crops
MISSISSIPPI FARMS NEED
MORE CORN AND HAY

That Mississippi has never pro
duced surplus of feed crops, anC
that grain and hay are needed
now in crater quantities than evel
before on account of increased
livestock population, is the opin.
ion of j. G. Holton, commissioner
of agriculture.
i Once or twice in the past, he
stated, corn was produced in such
quantities that surpluses in areas
of aboundant production were
sold to other areas i'm the State
where a shortage existed. But in
those years, Mississippi produced
twice as much corn as in 1896,
and planted nearly twice as many
corn acres.
"Remarkable progress has been
made toward prosperity in Miss
issippi during the past four years.
This has been possible because
cotton production was held with
in such bounds as to warrent an
attractive price. But this was
only part of the program that
brought prosperity. Acreages of
corn, hay, and other food and
feed crops were substantially in
creased to care for Sc per cent
more cattle and 26 per cent more
hogs, and while soils were being
improved by leguminous crops, a
very substantial addition was
made to the total farm income by
the sale of livestock and livestock
products.
"As the planting season draws
near once more, there is concern
ovr the prospective cotton acreage
This time the concern is more
acute because Of the rapid up
swing in cotton price. AN up
swing which yields but small
benefit to farmers who have no
cotton for sale. The past decade
is striking example Of price
trends which followed over-pro-
duction during the earlier half
and normal production during the
latter half. To revert to over-pro-
duction practices which brought
the tragedy of 1882 upon us
would be tragedy indeed.
"Nor is such course necess-
ary and justified. With possibly
not more than two exceptions,
Mississippi has not produced a
sufficiency of feed grains within
a long time, and has probably
never produced enough hay. Add
ed to livestock feed requirements
we have always had, is rapid
increase in livestock on State
farms since 1880, so that today
there are more beef cattle, more
dairy cattle, and more hogs to be
fed and to add to the farm in
come than in long time. To sup
ply these requirements is to auto
matically adjust our farming pro-
gram so as to yield the most prof
it and security"

BY Hazel Brannon

were inclined 10 agree WIFI
the man who said these United
States have been here a mighty
long time and we know less thar
they did when they put it here.
When you arrive at the point
where you know you are right or
every point it's time to go out
and chop wood or do something
to get the egotism out of your
system.
Security is something the human
race is trying to achieve. Young
and old alike have as their most
important desire the feeling OF
being adequately cared for.
Many a man has had a good
scheme but was too lazy TO put
it through.
Have you ever thought about
what it is in your friends that
you appreciate mostY And does
not understanding come ahead of
everything elseY The people the
world remembers are those who
have innate sympathy for their
fellow-men.
Prosperity and humility rarely
live together.
A broadminded person is one
who takes your side.
On next June the law will ex-
pire which requires three cents
letter mail postage instead of
two. The Post Office Department
insists it must be continued so
that the Postal Service can pay
its own way. But then--who ever
heard Of any governmental de-
parSment cutting downi
People who start price cutting
end up by throat-cutting as rule
-. and it's always their own
throats, too.
No successful business has ever
been planned which had as it's
purpose another mans downfall
Ideals are things big men have
and little men forget.
Governor Whites industrial
plan is going to succeed only ifI
living wages are paid. No one is
going to get any benefit out of
any industry that comes to Miss
issippi and pays less than a de-
cent living wage. G vernon
Whites plan is far-sighted and
very progressive but it has also
in it the making of lots of trouble
for Mississippi.
Industry in the south means
laborers must be had. Where
there exist capital and labor there
exists almost certain conflict. The
two are unalterably opposed to
each other.
You cant blame a man for
striking if he is only getting
from So to SO per week. Try feed
ing a family on that.
Capital has the right to hire
and fire its workers. The only
thing a worker has is his strength
or brain, as the case might be.
Surely he should have some say
as to what he will work for. :.
some protection for his home and
his family.
And even though we get fed up
with reading of nothing but strik-
es in the paper and are prone to
criticize the workers we cannot
help but feel that behind the
black type of today's headlines
turks story of the problems of
the working man. the problem
OF trying in some way, blind
though it may be, Of achieving
security for himself and his fam
lily. 1t is a problem that can be
solved only by cool and thinking
heads, sympathetic to the prob
lens of both factions.
People nowadays want t h e
truth. But they want it served up
to them in the style they like best.

that's what they get mostly.

 pare for his June 9 bout with Joe Louis:-
 Braddock jabs well win his left. He seems to pack plenty of power in his right. He carries no appar- ent superfluous weight.
 But that is not what interests us. It is Braddock's legs we try to study. If there is any sign of wear in them it is not visible as he boxes sparmates. The cham pion boxes right up on his toes.
 From sparring partners nothing is learned that might lead us to believe Braddock's underpinnings are weakening.
 Don't worry about the champs legs,' Sparmate Charlie Mascara says. They're okay. I do eight miles on the road with him every morning. He's not at all tired at the end"
 Braddock himself feels certain that two years absence from ring wars has not robbed his legs of their spring and endurance. He real izes his legs will have much to do with the result of his bout with the Brown Bomber
 The fine condition of his legs en- abled Braddock to keep away from Max Baer for 15 rounds and out point the former titleholder. All during that fight, Braddock kept circling from his left to right, rid
