ANDERSON RELEASES

Further corrective measures are
needed to avoid such speculative
excuses and price disturbances as
occurred in the cotton futures mar
kets last fall, Secretary of Agricul-
ture Anderson said in releasing an
extensive report by the Commodity
Exchange Authority on the October
1916 break in cotton prices. Facts
developed by the CEA investigation
have made it necessary to re-exam-
inc the regulatory limitations on
the size of speculative holdings, and
give consideration to the margin
rate situation of the cotton ex-
changes.
Secretary Anderson said the CEA
investigation showed that the price
break which dropped cotton prices
8 cents per pound in two weeks
last October was accelerated and
extended by the forced liquidation
of many thinly-margined seculative
holdings. and the collapse of two
large accounts. The extnsion of
credit for speculative purposes to
so-called hedge accounts also con-
tributed to the vulnerable position
of the October cotton market. The
tile of he CEA repor is: Collapse
in Cotton Prices, October 1896"

ficials say that Southern farmers
recognize the need for increasing
their conservation practices.
BAE indicates that larger acre
ages of cotton, sweetpotatoes, soy
beans for beans, and sugarcane for
sugar seem in order. This is also
true for feed grain and forage crops.
However, smaller acreages seem
desirable for peanuts for nuts, po-
tatoes, hurley tobacco, and flue-
cured tobacco to slight extent
Increased output of red meats
and milk should prove profitable
for Southern farmers, says BAE

From The State
Health Officer

No period of life is free from its
disagreeable features. Childhood is
maze of restrictions. Adolescence
is beset with emotional insecurity
Maturity has always its ambition
tension, and strain, with never
enough time to relax Old age too,
has its own peculiar problems to be
faced.
The spotlight is on OLD age, with
more old people in our civilization
than ever before Science has
greatly heightened the span of life
through reduction of deaths from
many diseases and through apple
alton of knowledge about proven
ton of disease and the formation of
better health habits.
Old age can be interesting and
rewarding even if it is not glamor-
Gus. Financial security and good
health, while tremendously import
ant, are not as essential to a happy
old age as usefulness. A wide range
OF interests, willingness to learn
and accept change, an active part
IN the life of the home and com
munity-the are means of achiev-
ing a good life to the end. 1t was
one of our famous jurists who said
TO be 70 years young is sometimes
far more cheerful and hopeful than
to be 40 years DID,"
1t seems, then, that in order to
be happy, useful and wanted in old
The Mississippi enterprise. (Jackson, Miss.) 1938-current, 1947-03-29

age we must begin early to develop
into the kind of people we see all
around us-people who are valuable
to others because they themselves
have acquired skill in living and
can give of their wisdom and ex-
ample to associates. This is not
the passive, submissive attitude of
merely growing old gracefully"
it is the active, creative, socially
minded attitude of the person who
is busy and sincerely interested in
whatever he is doing.
= The finest foundation upon
which to build an old age full of
the joy of living and richness of
service is the best possible health.
A body free from aches, pains and
disabilities has a much better
chance to let the mind and spirit
develop than the body that keeps
its owner constantly aware of some
illness. Guard your health today
for better life tomorrow

UoUR property insurance agent * .
4 special type Of businessman. He Is a
businessman with certain professional re-
probabilities. The services he renders are
bound up closely with the personal for
tunes and weli-being of his clients. He is
personal advisor as we'll as a student Of
insurance. The peace Of mind Of house
holders, farmers, merchants and manufac-

He does much more than just sell insur-

To meet this challenge, your agent IS
constantly developing higher professional
standards for his business. His National
Association provides educational and
training programs which are in operation
throughout the country. Local insurance
agents were among the FIRST TO work for
establishment Of insurance education on
the collegiate level. A well-informed in.
suranco trade press, and the companies
which the agent represents also offer
many excellent educational facilities.
Not everyone can become an insurance
agent. Before ne can do business in any
state Of the Union, he must be licensed by
the Insurance Department. Many states
have strict qualification laws, including, in
. number Of cases, the passing of written
examinations Through the efforts Of lead
ing agents to protect your interests, quail
hcation requirements are regularly being
raised. The complex demands Of highly
competitive business are, in themselves,
an effective safeguard against the incom-

ance is unthinkabie in today's community

II Countries Show
National Income Gain,
u. N. Report Reveals
BY the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Sept. 2.-The
United Nations today reported sharp
increases in total national income
for % countries but said that in
most cases the gain was result of
higher prices rather than expanded
production of goods and services.
Increases in other cases would be
much smaller If the effects of rising
prices would be eliminated, the U.
Ms monthly bulletin of statistics
said.
The figures covered the period
from 1888 through 1916 and showed
the United States and Canada with
substantial gains. The national in
come for the United States. esti-
mated at s67, 7,375, 100000 for 1898,
leaped to $178,204, ,000,00 last year.
Canadas jump from $3,940, 900 900 to
1922, 100000 in the same period.
European Nations Suffer.
The bulletin noted that European
countries formerly occupied by Axis
powers suffered sharp declines in
real income during the war, and ma
tional income still was below pre-
war levels despite substantial gains
made since the end of hostilities.
Figures were given for Argentina,
Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cam
ada, Chile, Czechoslovakia, Den
mark, the Dominican Republic,
France, Ireland, Mexico, the Neither
lands, New Zealand, Norway, Pales-
tine, Puerto Rico, South Africa,
Sweden, Switzerland, the United
Kingdom and the United States.
The U. N. statistics Office empha-
sized that economic conditions in
many parts of the world were ab-
normal and said that in many coun-
tries a large part of the total ma
tional income was being devoted
to reconstruction, and essential
branches of industry often lacked
necessary raw materials, equipment
and skilled labor.
Exchange Problems Cited.
The national income figures, 1t
was pointed out, do not fully reflect
foreign exchange difficulties arising
out of the loss Of foreign markets
and the failure to obtain essential
semifinished products and equip
ment from former producing coun-
tries.
France was the only country Of
the a. canvassed to show a decline
The French national income fell
from 348 to 292 In the nine-year
period as expressed in 1000, ,o00, 900
francs.
The United Kingdom hit It's peak
IN 1914 with 1850, 100000 pounds,
almost double the 1888 figure, but
then dropped to 1874, 100000 last
year.
