could he find in David triumphant, he
asked himself, worthy of sculpturing?
Tradition portrayed him after the fact.
Yet David after the battle was an anti
climax, his great moment already gone.
Which then was the important
David? When did David become a
giant? After killing Goliath? Or at the
moment he decided that he must try?
David as he was releasing, with brilliant
and deadly accuracy, the shot from the
sling? Or David before he entered the
battle, when he decided that the Israel
ties must be freed from their vassalage
to the Philistines? Was not the deci-
sion more important than the act itself,
since character was more critical than
action? For him, then, it was David's
decision that made him giant, not his
killing of Goliath.
The marble comes olive
How could he have been SO stupid,
so blind? David pictured after Goliath
could be no one but the biblical David,
a special individual. He was not con-
tent to portray one man; he was seeking
universal man. Everyman, all of whom,
from the beginning of time, had faced
a decision to strike for freedom.
This concept opened wide vistas to
Michelangelo. He scared, he drew with
authority and power; he modelled in
clay, eighteen inches high, his fingers
unable to keep pace with his thoughts
and emotions; and with astonishing
facility he knew where David lay. The
limitations of the block began to appear
as assets, forcing his mind into a
simplicity of design that might never
have occurred to him had it been
whole and perfect. The marble came
alive now.*

SOYBEAN
IS BRIGHT SPOT IN
MISSISSIPPI AGRICULTURE

Soybean production is a
bright spot in Mississippi agri-
culture, and the acreage is much
higher this year than in 1860
when the state produced its
largest crop on record. The ia
vorable position is enhanced by
greater yields and strong mar
ket demands. Mississippi's farm
economy stands to benefit by
the record soybean crop indi-
Gated this year. Producers have
a fair share of problems but
with a bumper yield, strong de-
mond and higher prices, 1861
should be a good year for soy
bean production.
The Lexington advertiser. [volume] (Lexington, Miss.) 1904-1985, 1961-10-05

Barnett these lands brought only $1,000
income to Jackson County during the
past twenty years. Now the oil COM
pany, who needs the lands, will pay
the schools of Jackson County the sum
of $4,000 600 for them and in addi-
ton provide the school with other land
OF equal or greater value.
The new legislation to be enacted
soon at a special session of the Legisla-
ture, made possible by Tuesdays favor
able ballot of state citizens, must pro-
vide specific safeguards for remaining
Sixteenth Section lands in the state
and at the same time set up procedures
whereby these lands can be bought or
leased when needed for industrial pur-
poses. The goal will be to make possi-
bic their use for other than school pur-
poses, yet guarantee that the school
children of the state will not be short
changed.
The Legislature now has a wonder
full opportunity, as well as the firm
responsibility, to review the whole
matter of Sixteenth Section lands and
make certain that adequate safeguards
are enacted into law so that no genera
tion of the future will be robbed of it's
rightful heritage.

Spotlight On Sixteenth Section Lands
1862 Legislature

The 1862 Mississippi Legislature
will be confronted with a number of
problems, all of them headaches of one
kind or another.
One matter that will share the
spotlight focused by public interest will
be the states Sixteenth Section lands.
These are the lands set aside to be used
for the benefit of Mississippi school
children by and in our 1890 state con-
Stitution.
Public knowledge of these lands has
been intensified within the past few
months - as we'll as facts about their
management, and in some cases their
Encouragement, brought to light.
1t is general knowledge now that
these lands have not been used wisely
in many instances by the boards of
supervisors of the counties, whose re-
sponsibility they are.
The fact that the new $125 million
oil refinery to be located nea Pasca-
poula in Jackson on Mississippi's Gulf
Coast is to be built partially on Six
teenth Section lands had added en-
phasis to the subject and will undoubt-
eddy have a bearing on what is done
about them in the future.

Best Foot Forward
State Fair Is A Showcase For Mississippi

Jackson will play host to thousands
of visitors next week as people from
every area of the state converge on
the Capital City to attend the 1861
Mississippi State Fair.
This annual event will be of special
interest this year because of the con-
siderable progress to be noted on the
states next S4,500, 900 coliseum and the
large number of educational and scien-
tific exhibits to be shown.
We have always regarded the fair
as a showcase for Mississippi = a place
where the agricultural, industrial, bust
ness and educational progress of the
entire state is measured each year..
The annual event offers opportu-
mites for fun as we'll as education and
information. Adults, as we'll as chill
dren, will find plenty to amuse them
on the mile-long midway.
The sawdust which usually fills
the air at this event will be missing
this year, We suppose, since the entire
midway has been paved. Certainly this
lis an Improvement that will be en-
loved by everyone. We can remember
years when it seemed we were up to
our ankles in mud, as we'll as the dusty
