Cleveland Reports
On Farm Meeting
Speakers Tell
Ways To Improve
South S Economy

The South has already hit bot
com. and everyone, including the
farmer, realizes it, and all are
now working for Improvements,
according to DR.. George d, Scar
seth, director of research OF the
American Research association
speaking before a group OF voca-
eional agriculture teachers at the
annual conference at Gulfport on
August 8, as reported by Q. A.
Cleveland, vocational teacher OF
Lexington. Attending the meet
sng with Mr.. Cleveland was John
G.. Davis of Lexington.
The South is Americas number
one economic opportunity, and not
cts number one economic problem
as stated by the late President
Franklin d. Roosevelt, DR.. Scar
seth was quoted by Mr.. Cleveland
as saying.
Greatest resource of Mississippi
<s the thirty odd million acres OF
land lying in favorable climatic
belt where the growing season Is
almost around the calendar with
"a better than average distribution
of rainfall the speaker said;
however, the state needs more
plant foods, especially phosphor-
WIS, potash, and nitrogen in her
soils more than she needs any
zhing else. The bottleneck in the
economy is the lack of these three
plant foods plus lime and or
ganic matter in adequate amounts
of the state"
DR.. Scarseth stated further that
hill farmers can realize more
from beef cattle and dairy cattle
than they can by growing cotton,
and recommended that farmers
get into these enterprises gradual
xy.
Mr.. Cleveland told that at the
meeting on Wednesday, Fred J.
Hurst, director of information for
khe Farm Credit Corporation, New
Orleans, urged agriculture tea
chers to use their classes as a
nucleus around to which build |
farm organizations and a better
Mississippi agriculture.

"There is something wrong with
that picture. A few statistics, to
show just how wrong 1t is:

an estimated total of almost 307

electric power production totaled

to only about As billion in 194S,

There are two ways of look

program at Bethlehem Lutheran
school Wednesday evening, March

The program was begun with
a film entitled "Thy win Be

A cholera epidemic in a small
Chinese village is woven into
this story which portrays the
work of a missionary, his wife,

A short account of the purposes
of Chinese youth night was given
lily Arthur Albrecht, president
of the local Walther League So
ciety.
Chinese clothing was modelled
by Maklon Wood, Miss Charlotte
Langstrom, and Miss Leona Huss.
Mrs. Marie Schwenessen of
Richland spoke to the group
about China and its customs. AS
a young lady, she lived for eleven
years in Hankow China, where
her father was a Lutheran mis-
sionary. She presented China
in an interesting way by speak
ing and writing the language
by singing songs in Chinese, and
by showing trinkets and clothing
which she had collected in China.
A supper of Chinese noodles
was then served in the parish
hall. During the course of the
meal, Mrs. Schwenessen demon
strated the proper use of chop
sticks.
The collection taken will be
