Marlborough. Jones,
In Washington
On Project

G.. H. McMorro Oh. chairman, and
B. NJ. Jones, member, of the Holmes
Junior College Board of Trustees,
are in. Washington this week con-
ferring with governmental authori-
ties in regard to placing a S~225,00O
vocational training school at the
Goodman institution in connection
with the national defense program.
The U. S. government is setting up
these schools over the country in
order to teach trades in mechanics,
woodwork, truck and tractor, air
plane motors and repairs. These
schools give basic training only.
The project sought for Holmes
Junior College is a S15O,000 build
ing with $4,000 equipment. The
blue prints calls for classrooms to
accommodate classes in first aid and
nursing, commercial and power ma
chimes, cutting and pattern making,
tipping, woodworking and building
trades, electrical and welding, mac
hine shop, forge and blacksmith shop,
airplane mechanics, auto, truck and
tractors, drawing and planning, blue
print and photography, radio me-
chanics and a library.
1t is understood that should the
Holmes trustees secure such a build
ing for the Junior College the gov
eminent pays one-half of the salaries
of the teaching staff. Some of the
subjects which would be taught in
the vocational school are already
a part of the course of study. The
government would pay one-half of
these salaries as well which would
not necessitate increasing the budget
for additional teachers.
The building would be 36,398
square feet. The school would pro-
vide basic training for men and wo-
men desiring to learn a trade so that
the full manpower and womanpower
of the country may be trained for
national defense.
1t is not known that HJC will
secure this school but every effort
is being made to obtain it by Mr..
Marlborough and Mr.. Jones and the
other trustees of the school.

State Farmers Get
IA Per Cent Less
In 40 Than 80
Business Trends
Given By Federal
Reserve Bank

According to the February issue
OF the Monthly Review of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank of st. Louis the
following trends were eviden. IN ag-
riculture and business during the
first weeks of 1941:
Agriculture--in $40 Mississippi
farmers received from the sale Of
principal products ami Government
benefit payments \ total Of Sl47,-
221,OOO, a decrease of $24,327, 900,
or ID per cent, under 1889. The in
come was divided as follows: From
crops, $81,629,0 900; livestock and its
products, $32,911,O0O; Government
payments, $32, 681,OOO.
The winter through mid-February
has been generally suspicious for
growth and development of fall
sown crops, also for agricultural
operations generally, including feed
ing of livestock for market and
dairying. Progress in preparation
for spring crops has been delayed
u some localities by rains, and as
whole is slightly behind the sea-
sonal schedule. The trend of farm
products prices since late January
is downward.
General Business-Stimulated by
the increasing volume of defense
spending, improvement in the en-
ployment situation and broadening
civilian demands for a wide variety
of commodities, trade and industry
during January and the first half Of
February carried further forward
the steady upward trends which
have been in effect for the past
several months. Volume of both re-
tail and wholesale business in Jan
uary was measurably higher than a
year earlier. In both the large cities
and country, merchants report col
lections the best for this season in
a number of years.
Observation-Disclosures production
has extended to practically all lines
investigated, but was most marked
in iron and steel, aircraft, engines,
building materials and other lines
directly OF indirectly affected by the
national defense program. From
June /, 1910, through December,
contracts awarded in. this district
by the War and Navy Departments
amounted to $399,883, 900. This
sum was ~appreciably increased by
lettings by these agencies during
January. In early February steel
production at mill in this area was
stepped up to SO per cent of capa-
city, best since May, 1887.
Banking and Finance-In response
to the expansion in general business,
demand for credit from commercial
and industrial sources developed
further Improvement. Deposits of
commercial banks continued to soar,
and at mid-February were the high
est ever recorded.

outstanding educational leaders OF
the nation will be present for the
convention and it will be worth the
time of every teacher in Mississippi
to attend.
The Mississippi Education Associa-
ton has playedea wonderful part in
the development Of our public schooI
program and should have the one
hundred per cent support of every
teacher in the state. We suggest thai
county superintendent and local
boards of trustees allow all teachers
in their systems who wish to dc
so to attend the convention and
give them credit for the days just
as though they had taught.
We feel that these days spent at
the association will be worth a
great deal in furthering the educa-
tional program of the state. We are
looking forward to a great atten-
dance and an outstanding conven'
ton.

Holmes county's Board Of Super

the stamp plan for the distribution
of surplus commodities to relief

ing to officials of SMA.
This figure represents the total
amount of blue stamps issued
throughout the State during the
month. In addition, the 1882 par
Elephants in the stamp program in
Mississippi during January maintain
ed their regular purchases of food
stuffs by buying $166,826 Of orange
stamps during the month. With their
families, the participants represent
ed 110,420 persons in the state re-
ceiving benefits of the program.
Jackson and Kinds county led all
stamp areas in the state in the a
mount of stamps issued with $780,
$50 in free blue stamps and ST.
731 in orange stamps. Close be-
hind were Meridian and Lauderdale
county with $26,537 in blue stamps
and $23.4 ASS in orange stamps and
DeKalb and Kemper county with
$21,694 in blue stamps and $780,
I'll in orange stamps.
Pork products continued to take
about one-third of the free blue
stamps issued by the Government
in the state during the month, re-
sulting in the purchase of 269,771
pounds of pork valued at $41 1898
and 306,827 pounds of lard worth
$24,O37.
All cereals on the surplus LIST
accounted for $49,839 of the blue
stamps, vegetables and potatoes,
$40 ,768, and fruits, $16,799.
About IA percent of the blue
fstamps issue din the state went for
39,095 pounds of butter valued at
$13,679 and 10.1 percent for 49,
1856 dozen eggs costing SIS, SOS.
White and graham flour account
ed for 1877 percent of the stamps
with 953,276 pounds of the former
valued at $34,377 and $50 worth
