CHEAP COTTON, HIGH CORN
As this is written, wheat is worth $100 or more a BUSH
Ell. q
Corn is bringing over a dollar a bushel.
Hogs are bringing the best prices in over 10 years.
But cotton is bringing only nine cents a pound, and seed
about $500 a ton.
In other words, the South is going to have to take Scent
cotton and $500 seed and buy flour MIA le from dollar-a-
bushel wheat.
We are gong to take this same To- priced cotton and
seed and buy dollar a-bushel corn meal.
It will be tie same thing with meat and lard.
The North and East have again given us a kick in
the stats.
They are buying our cotton and seed at low prices
and selling us merchandise at the top Of the market.
The South had better wake up and fight.

BUILDING UP THE SOUTH

Governor White, just returning from a visit into the
nations capital and Eastern cities, is enthused over the
splendid publicity Mississippi has received through her adj
vertising program, including Misassippls part in the Ameri-
can Legion Convention in New York.
Not a politician and not a hot air merchant, but
a sound business man, Governor White has made a fine
impression On the nation as a whole during the nearly
two years he has been Governor of Mississippi, and has in
vestors OF other states interested in Mississippi's oppor-
tunities.
An important part in the state development is the
new program n which the Governor joins with eight other
executives of Southern states TO offer among the "outstand-
ing advantages
Unlimited raw material.
Anple poNe at low rates.
Excellent transporter OH facilities to growing mar
kets.
Native born labor-efficient and reasonable.
Unexcelled year round moderate climate which makes
possible:
Lower production costs.
Lower construction costs.
Lower capital investment.
And while these nine governors are advertising these
things they have set forth as detectives for their states:
/. Proper freight rate dfferentals as effects the Eouth-
{. Equitable taxation policies.
3. Friendly labor attitude between employer and en-
ploye.
I. Cooperation with federal government on proper ma
jpr policies affecting industrial employment.
Due to the fact that Governor White has accomplished
SO much during the short year and nine months he has
been Governor it is reasonable to assume that he viii carry
the state to great heights before his term expires two years
and three months hence.
