National War Fund
Drive Lags In State

Mississippi's tagging National War
Fund drive came to the attention of
state officials in Washington this
week, and Senator James o. East
land sent a wire to B. L. Burford
State Director, urging that "every-
thing possible be done to put over
the campaign in Mississippi.
Mississippi was to have concluded
her drive several days ago, but due
to the lag witnessed over the entire
state, the drive will be carried for
ward 'in order to complete this fin
al home-front giving task" Mr.. Bur
ford said. Thus far only one county
unit, East Chickasaw, has gone over
the top.
Taking note of this Senator East
land wired the state office:
Mississippi has a big stake in the
National War Fund and it is impera-
tive that everything possible be
done to put over the campaign O.
the Mississippi War Fund to pro-
vide for our men overseas and in the
services throughout the globe. Our
concern for their welfare and well
being will be reflected in this state
campaign"
Meanwhile, R. c. Stovall, Colum-
bus, president of the state NWF,
has called upon all counties to work
hard 'for the next several days, call
on the people, and put this, the final
War Fund drive, over the top"
The drive in Mississippi opened on
October l. In the two previous cam
paigns, the state has exceeded its
quotas. Eighteen national agencies
serving military personnel, such as
the USO, and allied relief groups
are represented in the War Fund.
1T is easy to see the need of the
War Fund at this time, and we are
confident Mississippians will give
this final time, if they are called up
on, the State Director commented.

Current Comment
By Henry willis

Among the Soldier Boys home
just now Is numbered 1t John d
Gwin, Jr., of the Air Corps with
nearly seventeen hundred hours OF
flying to his credit. He was COM
petent flyer, before he got into the
Army. Then after many months OF
learning the Army flying methods
he was rated so good that he was
assigned to teach, spent many
months as an instructor and made
flyers of scores of trainees. All the
time persistently seeking flying duty
at the front. Finally, sent to the
European Theater of Operations and
loving flying, he was allowed to
select his branch and chose the Air
Transport for the reason that they
furnished the most air hours. There
after he was busy almost to the
limit Of physical endurance, deliver
ing men and supplies to wherever
they were needed, frequently through
Hack and critical landings, with no
failures as to time or place or due
return according to orders. With it
all he has remained modest, diff
dent, quiet. The only change observ-
able is gain in confidence, a slight
gain in weight, some gain in matur-
ity. Typical of the best in the fine
men we have sent to the war.

Dawson Says Holmes
Farmers May Have
Rich Tree Income
Eroded Acres Con
Be Made To
Yield Good Income

Holmes county farmers can grow
loblolly pine here enough to exceed
the income from cotton on the rich
est Delta land, said Hendrix Daw-
son, educational director of the State
Forest and Park Service in an ad-
dress before the Lexington Rotary
Club Friday
The mills in the east are buying
cellulose, the speaker said Missis-
sippi farmers have sixteen million
acres of worn out lands not suitable
for growing anything but trees from
which cellulose is produced. State
farmers should take advantage of
this situation to improve their un-
cultivatable lands by planting trees
and making these worthless lands
valuable again, Mr.. Dawson urged.
The three hill beats of Holmes
county have some badly eroded lands
which need the protection trees will
give them, Mr.. Dawson stated. Our
water level has fallen and the arte-
sian wells and springs aren't flowing
now like they did in our fathers
time, he said.
Mississippi is the third state in the
south in the quantity of acreage suit
able for forestry, Mr.. Dawson said
Now we are cutting timber faster
than we are replacing it and this
situation cannot continue forever
without exhausting our resources
entirely.
The generation of today owes it to
posterity to see that our state forests
are protected, Mr.. Dawson conclud-
ed, reminding his audience that
everything we have or ever hope to
have comes from the soil If high
standard of living is enjoyed by fu-
ture generations it will be because
of the protection we give our re-
sources.
The speaker suggested that the
best way to see that forest resources
are protected is the enactment OF
legislation designed to give all-ove1
protection to the state rather than
isolated sections and counties.

State Farmers Need
Wholesale Market

Jackson (SpeciaD-Rep. Harry A.
Jacobson of Warren County, Chair
man of the house committee on
agriculture, today declared that Mis-
sissippi needs and must have" a
Central Farmers Wholesale Market.
Rep. Jacobson, a farmer who
knows the problems of the farmer
said he left plans now being worked
out for constructing large Central
Market to aid Mississippi producers
in disposing of their fruit and vege-
table crops at profit will receive
favorable legislative action in Janu-
ary.
"Most Mississippians have realiz-
ed for years." said Mr.. Jacobson,
that we could produce practically
any crop that could be grown in a
temperate or semi-tropical zone.
With proper cultivation and care
most of these crops can be raised in
abundance right here in our own
state. The catch in any program to
develop production has been the
lack of marketing facilities. Crops
were left in the fields to rot, or
were sold to some shyster buyer at
a price that was ridiculously low.
The farmer had all the hard work,
worry and expense. The rewards
went to those few outsiders who are
best known for being smart anc
unscrupulous traders.
