Dairy Plan For County

to is the opportunity to purchase a new piah'
without the usual heavy cash outlay neces-
sary for doing so. What the community gets
in exchange is an industrial payroll for Its
people. 1t follows obviously hat a well-sel-
ected industry paying good wages makes
such a deal worth while, while a low-wage
exploitative industry would make such a
deal of doubtful value to the community.
In the case Of a modern dairy plant for

association of Jackson county dairymen.
paying what profits were to be made to
our own citizens rather than to absentee
ownership, Il would seem to US that the
BAWI method of plant financing would
reach Its ultimate usefulness for the state
of Mississippi. The cost of a. dairy plant
would run somewhere between forty and
fifty thousand dollars. The beat or the
county could build such a plant, and then
turn 1t over to an independent cooperative
of dairy farmers who would elect their own
officers and hire their own management,
and thus keep the plant out OF politics..
We believe this county could adequately
support such a plant. 1t seems to us also

farmers a sure and profitable outlet for per-
ishable truck crops which could raise the
levels of farming as surely as a dairy coop
could increase the value and productivity OF
dairy herds. We recall that some years ago
there was a fashion in growing English peas
until the bottom dropped out of that market
and county farmers could hardly give them
away. With a canning plant such treacherous
aspects of the truck market fluctuation could
be avoided. A can of peas will hold its value
despite the ups and downs of the current
market for fresh peas.
We do not believe that all the industrial
and commercial intelligence exists beyond
the borders or Mississippi, or that our peo'
Pile, though admittedly less experienced than
some, so lack organizational s~hrewdness that

The impressive success of the Hancock
county dairy cooperative, the record OF which
is reported elsewhere in this issue, points
out an opportunity for jackson county which
we believe our business men. civic groups,
political leaders and citizens at large would

We believe that the dairy coop principle
used 50 successfully in Hancock county and
elsewhere, If combined with the balance
Observation-Disclosures principle by which
counties and districts undertake the actual
building of commercial plants, could enable
Jackson county to build up a public-owned
dairy plant, and possibly a canning plant for
fruits and vegetables, which would measur-
ably raise the standard of living of our rural
residents, stimulate commercial business for
the merchants, return increased tax revenues
into the public funds, and in general bring
US q long way forward to a sound and pros
porous economy.
Many Of US are in the habit of using gen.
eral terms like this to describe our vague
hopes and good civic intentions, very few of
which we are ever able to pursue with an
actual, detailed, methodical program. But
here, in the combination of two proven prin-
ciples, the dairy coop, and the BAWI meth
cd of financing, we see before us a practical
program which we could begin to implement
tomorrow If enough of our people come for
ward with sufficient initiative and determ-
ination TO back it up.

Under the BAWI state law, counties, beats

With rare foresight for that
era, the paper company officials
began a private reforestation pre-
gram in four townships in the
area which was to grow into a
