On March l8, 1928, Miss Pene-
hope Mercer of Liberty Mississippi,
became tn wife OF Mr. Gail Bor-
den. pioneer milk professor. A sur
veyor and school teacher In the
county at that time. Young Borden
Is said by old residents TO have
made his first can of condensed
milk at the Amite seat of justice.
Almost one hundred years later.
ON April /. 1925 a Borden plant
at S%tarkville. Mississippi. opened
its doors as the first milk con-
densery south of the Mason and
Dixon line.
Today. II and four other plants

the market for a $50. 900. 600 in

milk and cream. approximately &c.
000 400 annually.
The century elapstng between the
first experiments at canning milk
made by Gail Borden and the
mammoth Mississippi dairy indus
try of today holds a story as
dramatic as anv the fable-filled
South has brought forth.
The story has its heroes and its

The villains nave been bugs.

require only that the cream pass

law.
With the market spurred by the

consistently finer nerds supplying

densed milk 9.316.633 pounds Of
cheese: 6.277. 254 pounds of butter:
ana l.462 80" gallons of ice cream.
The alliance between King Cot
ton and Queen Cow was cemented
between 1880 ant 1885 when the
Farm Censuses of those two years
showed gains of 20 per cent IN
pasture acreage. and So per cent
In food and feeC crop acreage.
resulting largely from increases Of
over a million acres In corn and
400 900 acres in hay The number
Of Mississippi cattle increased 66
per cent.
The future looks even better.
AS a result Of type-0f-farmfng
studies made In 1886 looking to-
ward the prevention of soil ero-
sion. maintenance of soil fertility,
and more efficient agricultural
planr ing. Mississippi farm leaders
have urged a 5 per cent decrease
In land in farms in Mississippi, a
II pei ZEN. increase In pasture
land. a Is e cent increase In
plowable pasture. and a u per
cent increase in hay land.
The importance o, these recon-
mendations Il that, II they r to
be followed Mississippi must in
crease its number of livestock.
Because dairying is a aid
in maintaining soil fertility: be-
cause 1t encourages the growth of
nitrogen-gathering tat : producing
legpmes which furnish feed rich
in protein. and because three
fourt.ls of the plant fooc elements
in such feet are kept on the farm
wher marketed from dairy cows,
the future of Mississippi agrictl-
ture depends Oh keeping Queen
Cow securely on her throne.
1t is perhaps significant that the
last two portraits unveiled In Mis-
sissippi's Hall of Fame are of
Queen Cows pioneer ambassadors
in Mississippi Colonel Montgomery
and James Evans. For 1t is their
dream which have come true in
