Rankin Comments

NSOutiuueu from page OneD
certain large owners of utility stocks
are jubilant at the nomination. They
think that if they can win the cleo
ton they can prevent us from squeez-
ing the water out of these utility
stocks, breaking up these useless hold
ing companies and stopping them from
plundering the unprotected
of electric lights and power"
Asked if the reports were true that
he is being doomed for vice-president,
Mr.. Rankin said that his colleagues
who started such talk were very kind,
but hat he refused to get excited
over it.
n man ever runs for the nominal
ton for vice-president and gets it,"
he said. President Roosevelt will
be renominated at Chicago, if he is
willing to accept a third term, and
I am SUR that his wishes will be re-
spected when it comes to selecting
his running mate.
Circumstances have made the
power question the chief issue in the
campaign, M which every person who
pays ar electric bill can understand.
/ have devoted years to the study of
this question, and 1 shall devote every
of energy from now till the
November election to try to ~re-elect a
ticket that will continue its efforts
to relieve he overburdened consumers
of electricity from the ruthless over
charges they nov have to pay, and to
save the water power of this nation
for our children and our children's
children for all time to come

acting as merchant. This contribution
is carried on from merchant to COM
pressor, who RENTS the accumulated
FUNDS to the Council when the bale is
first compressed, or from merchant
to textile mill which RENTS on un-
compressed cotton.
Similarly, contributions on seed,
which are made by the ginner and
crusher, are assembled and RENTED
to the war chest by the oil mills.
For fifty years we cotton farmers
lave been talking about an organiza-
ton like the National Cotton Council
to defend our markets and find new
ones through %judicious advertising,
intelligent research, and organized
opposition to restrictive legislation. At
last we LAY it, and in two years, eq-
tipped with modern weapons, it has
accomplished more than any of us
thought was possible in S short a
period.
Domestic consumption has been
brought back virtually to the all-time
high, with every indication that a new
record can be set in 1871. Plans are
really for a vigorous attack on the
actue problem Of foreign trade. Coun-
Gil scientists are on the lc of new
uses. A united cotton industry has
gone to war"

Mississippi Farm
News
BY F. j. Hurst, Extension Editor

Realizing more and more that con
servation and improvement of soil
fertility is a primary requisite to any
permanent and productive system of
farming, Mississippi farmers are con
tinuing to carry out ~soil-building prac-
tees on an extensive scale, according
to the annual SUMMARY report on the
1889 AAA farm program prepared
by T. M. Patterson, administrative
officer in charge, AAA.
Preservation and improvement of
soil fertility to increase food and
feed production, protect farm income,
and safeguard the Nations soil re-
sources is one of the primary objec-
tives of the AAA program.
Because many farmers have not
been able to divert acreage from cash
crops and at the same time pay all
of the cost of carrying out soil
building practices, the AAA farm pro-
gram has provided payments for di-
verting acreage from soil-depleting TO
soil-conserving crops and for carry
out approved soil-building practices.
This program has enabled Missis-
sippi farmers to improve soil fer
tility, increase crop production, grow
more food and feed for farm and
home use, and improve their income.
Under the AAA program a maxi
mum soil-building allowance is set
up for each farm. To earn the al
lowance for his farm each producer
had the privilege of selecting any
N or more of 10 approved soil
building practices, including such
practices as seeding legumes and
grasses, use of green manure and
cover crop application of lime and
phosphate, planting of trees, and con-
structing of terrace.
The state summary report prepared
by Administrator Patterson shows
that Mississippi farmers in 1889:
Applied 1883 tons of superphos-
phate and 1878 tons of basic Stag on
permanent pastures, winter legumes,
lespedeza, and c~rotolaria.
Applied 1858 tons of ground lime
stone, or it's equivalent, on pasture
and %cropland to increase production
of pasture grasses and field crops.
Constructed 42,OS3,9 $40 feet of STAN
dard terraces on rolling lands to pre-
vent erosion and conserve soil fer
tility and soil moisture.
Constructed contour ridges on L.
SAC acres of fenced non-crop pasture
land to prevent washing of soil and
seed and to conserve soil moisture.
Reseeded 1885 acres of permanent
pasture to improve pasture sod and
increase the quantity and quality of
grazing.
Seeded 24,113 acres to biennial or
perennial legumes and grasses for
land owe and forage production.
Seeded 764, 200 acres to winter le-
gumes, lespedeza, and crotolaria to
reduce soil erosion and restore soil
fertility.
Planted and turned under green
n crops on 1885, 70 acres to pro-
tect and enrich soil fertility.
Established kudzu by planting
crowns on 784 acres on 284 farms.
Planted 1,S48 acres to trees.
Interplanted 1,483,451 acres to sum-
mer legumes.
Practiced strip cropping on 1o,464
acres.

c oordinoting Council
Elects Officers

A regular meeting of the County
Coordinating Council met Friday
night in the County Agents office to
advise with members of the Soil Con-
servation Service, now located in the
county, relative to plans for an edu-
cational program which they propose
to put on in the various communities
of the county before initiating an ac-
tive works program of Soil Conserva-
ton. After several plans were dis
cussed, a three meeting plan was a.
greed upon. Farmers wishing to avail
themselves of the Soil Conservation
Service on their farms will be re-
meeting and n soil tour in their
community in addition to a crop rota-
ton tour in the Southeastern part
of the county. With the educational
back groune afforded by a procedure
OF this kind, it is believed that much
more good would be derived by h
individual farmers from the conserva-
ton program. The council elected new
officers to serve the next six months
in keeping with it's constitution and
bylaws.
Officers elected were:-
/. w. Carson, Chairman.
r. A. Luter, Vice-Chairman.
Miss Ellen Scale, Sec. Treas.
These officers succeeded: Ed Gully,

Our Fault, Too

Mr.. Ethridge places the blame for the S h as
Economic Problem No. l, just as squarely on the Shout
ders of the Southerners as the Fasteners controlling
tariff policies, freight rates and manufacturing con-
Germs.
"We are in short a gallant, romantic, prideful, head
strong people, capable of being through generations as
stubbornly wrong about realistic things as of being glor-
iously loyal to War traditions. | do not decry these
sentimental and romantic attachments. Indeed, l share
them, but / know that since we are what we are, it
is all the more difficult for our ~neighbors from the
outside to help.
1--WE do not ask anything for this section as beggars.
We ask only that a freight rates system which makes
is impossible to develop our industries beyond a GER
tain point be eqqualized. We ask that a tariff struc-
ture which has drained the agricultural sections be al
and industry.
"We do ask, as a matter of fairness and justice, that
the nation employ some of the reserves it has drained
from us to repair the ravages to the land and to the
peoples of this section. We do ask that national wealth
be used to wipe out disease and illiteracy. We ask only
equality of opportunity within the union.

Cotton Market Gone

'There is, however," he emphasized, 'no medicine
that will be good for our economic ills until we in the
South become convinced that we are economically i'll.
We must recognize that our cotton market as a world
market is gone forever, and we must adjust ourselves
TO the new economy.
There must come to the South the solemn recogni-
ton that her civilization cannot exist upon the low wages
and the economic subsection of a race; that her STAN
dards of living will always be low as long as she keeps
the Negro standard of living low.
In short" he concluded, "there must come to the
South the recognition that pride is no substitute for
bread, for education, for the minimum benefits of civil
cation, and that to obtain these we must call on the
rest of the nation not only for justice, but also for help"
