Mississippi Farm News
BY f. j. HurSs Extens Ion
Agricultural Editor

Mississippi cash farm in come and
Government payments for 1889 ar
estimated by the Bureau of Agricui
tural Economics, u. S. d. A, st
1856, e61 900. This compared with
s173, 293 900 for 1888.
Mississippi cash farm income for
1899 included s1o2, 9 5000 for crops;
s30,435,OO0 from livestock and live
stock products and s34,3So,000 in gov
eminent payments.
Crop income included SSS.S71,OOO
from sales OF co ton and ~cottonseed;
81. O6e. 900 from sales of corn; S55,0OO,
from oats; $4,000 from Irish pota-
toes: $685. 900 from truck crops;
s4,4o9,OOO from all vegetables; $1,464,-
900 from fruits and nuts.
Most Of the drop in 1889 farm In
come was due to lower re.u for
cotton and c~ottonseed which mount
ed to a loss of $3.50 900. There
was also a slight decrease in cash
income from livestock and livestock
produd s.
The county agents are attempting
to inform all farmers or h 1910
AAA farm program. A copy of the
Mississippi Handbook, which covers
the most impon. ant provisions of the
program will be mailed to every farm
operator. Special meetings are be-
ing held for instruction of commit
teemen and these will be followed
la,er by community meetings of pro-
ducers so that everyone will be given
full opportunity to learn how they
can utilize the AAA program to the
maximum in conserving soil, in in
creasing income, and in improving
family living.
Mississippi leads the South in pro-
duction of quality cotton, according
to j. w. Willis, extension cotton spe-
cialist of Mississippi Slate College,
in his annual report in which he
gives a 1O-year review of cotton i'm
provement work in the state.
Quoting the latest figures from
the Bureau Of Agricultural Econo-
mics, United States Department Of
Agriculture, Mr.. Willis shows that in
1889 only 4 per cent, or one bale
in every thousand bales of cotton
produced in Mississippi had a sta
Pile length less than 7-8 inches. Fol-
the Uni.ed States, So percent, or 50
bales in every thousand bales, was
shorter than 7-8 inches in staple
length. The figures also show that
50.3 percent OF the cotton grown in
the United States last year was
shorter than one inch in staple
length, while in Mississippi only II
per cent of the cotton grown was less
than one inch in staple length.
The figures show chat staple length
less than 7-8 inches in Mississippi
has been reduced from 10.1 percent
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1940-02-15

in 1929 to only i percent in 1899
Staple lengths from 7-8 and 1892
inches have been reduced from 1873
to 1.6 percent, and staple lengt rs
from 1916 and 1892, from 12.1 to
9.3 percent.
The significance Of the increase
in value of the states cotton crop
due to improvement in staple length
is revealed in the fact that the 1889
crop brought producers $685. S9
more than they would have received
if they had grown the same varie-
ties and produced the same Staple
length as in 1929.
MI. Willis attributes the marked
improvement in the qualify of Mis-
sissippi cotton to the organization
of ~one-varety cotton improvement as.
sociations, formation of cooperative
gins, the development of cooperativa
cot. on marketing and cotton CHASING
and marketing service.
In 1929, there were 291 one-va-
riety cotton improvement associa-
tons in the safe. This compared
with only ID in 1881. Seventy add
tional o~ne-variety communities were
organized in 1889. County agents
and vocational agriculture teachers
nave taken the lead in organizing
the associations.
Complete reports were obtained
from 159 of the POI o~ne-variety com
muni les. Farmer members Of the
159 communities reporting had 24S,-
633 acres in cotton and produced
an average of 38 pounds of lint NOR
| per acre because of the improved
variety and better practices follow
ed. At 9 cents per pound the in
creased production of cotton in lhest
communities was valued at 850,343
MI. Willis said this did not take
into account the increased value Il

Mr.. Willis stated that before the

county in Mississippi, because many
farmers in every county have been
paid the market value for the grade
and staple of their cotton each year.
Mr.. Willis reported that LOG one
variety communities qualified fo.
the cotton CHASING and marketing
service in 1889 under the Smith
Doxey cotton CHASING and market
service. He explained hat this is 9
new service to farmers and as they
become better acquainted with its
value more producers will take ad-
vantage of it.

La aRoeS Speaks
To Delphian
Society
Outlines Worl
Of Parole
Board Here

With Wilbur La Roe, jr., of the
District Parole Board as guest
speaker, the seven local chapters
OF the Delphian Society held their
annual spring luncheon yesterday
at Hotel 2400.
Discussing operation of the Parole
Board, Mr.. La Roe explained that
parole is not leniency but method
OF returning prisoners to society
whereby safeguards are thrown
around the men for the protection
OF the public. The danger of not
having parole is that men are re-
leased without homes, without
jobs and without the protection that
the community demands, he added.
The success Of the system as oper-
ated here was indicated by statis-
tics Mr.. La Roe cited showing that
OF 720 convictions for felonies in
the year ending last June 30, only
four were committed by men on
parole. OF 119 prisoners released
on parole that year only two had
their paroles revoked, he continued,
and in both cases action was taken
because of the violation of the &C.
ditions of parole rather than for
the commission of new offenses.
OF 3l4 under supervision of the
board that year, only 10 violated pa
role, and in only one case was an
offense committed of such serious
ness as to carry sentence in excess
OF one year, he added.
The speaker declared, however,
that the operation of the parole
system is greatly hampered by the
TACT that prisons, here and else
where, are not well equipped for re-
habilitation.
Mrs. John c. Wright, president
OF the George Washington Chapter
OF the society, was general chairman
OF the luncheon and presided.
The program also featured two
piano numbers by Frances Gutelius
Smith and Mable Anderson Edger-
ton.
