The design for the Mississippi
stamp shows the territorial seal
with the name Mississippi delib-
erately mispelled. 1t also features a
portrait of Winthrop Sargent, 1753-
1920, major in the Continental
Army during the Revolution, secre-
tary of the Ohio Co., adjutant-
general of the st. Claire expe-
dition against the Indians, first gov
ernor of the territory of Mississippi,

1t is unlikely that the Key stamp
will be given initial distribution at
Frederick, Md. The facilities of
Baltimore for a proper celebration

there never would have been any

a bushe1 for the final year of the
contract.
1t commits the SO importing coun-
tries outside the Soviet bloc to buy
the 500, 000, 900 bushels of wheat an
nually from the three exporting
countries for the five-year period.
4. The agreement will be admin
istered by the International Wheat
council.
The advantages of the agreement
are:
1. 1t would help assure outlets for
all the wheat we will raise during
the next five years.
2. 1t would discourage expansion
of wheat production in importing
countries.
3. 1t would put a floor under
world prices above the levels which
prevailed before World war q.
The disadvantages are:
l. The U. S. and other exporting
nations would be selling wheat be-
low present world prices.
2. U. S. taxpayers would need to
put UP money for export subsidies.
8. There is doubt as to the ability
of exporters to force importers to
buy under the agreement if wheat
is available at lower prices else
where.
a.. 1t would keep the government
in the export business for another
five years.
Unguarded gears, chains and
shafts should be provided with ade-
quate shielding to prevent accidents.
On the tractor, the clutch, brakes,
and steering mechanisms should be
checked carefully to see that all are
! operating properly.
