Smith Sponsored Legislation Brings
$40 Million Extra Cotton Income

Cotton was produced last
year in 81 of the 81 counties
but more than two-thirds of
the production was in the "a
counties of the new second
district. Actually" Rep.
Smith noted, "of the $1,000
surrendered acres reallocated
by the state committee, 65,64O
acres were in the second con-
gressional district"
The gross income from cot
ton and cottonseed produced
by 107, 222 cotton farmers in
the state amounted to an
estimated 5000 million in
1861. Benefits from cotton
accrue to all segments of the
states economy.
The State Agricultural Sta
Utilization and Conservation
Committee recently anOnun-
ced that 173,705 acres had
been released by allotment
holders in the state for re-
apportionment to farmers
within the county of origin,
and 1880 were released to
the state committee for re-
apportionment to other coun-
ties.
Rep. Smith urged all farm
ers to plant their full allot-
ments in 1862. He said "agri-
culture is big business in
Mississippi. Cotton is the
states chief crop and all
available cotton acreage
should be maintained in Mis-
Sissippi."
Congressman Smith spent
most of the day Tuesday tour
ing Yalobusha County, work
ing in and out of Water Val
ley.

Water Valley, April Is =
(SpeciaD = Rep Frank E.
Smith said the extra cotton
acreage made available for
planting this year by the
acreage release and reappor-
ton program, brightens the
outlook for cotton farmers in
the "a counties Of the new
Second District.
1.-The program, which is a
direct result of the bill / spon
sored in the House in 1885,"
he said, made available
$3.50 additional acres in the
"a counties, with 1887 acres
added in Holmes County.
In round dollars it will
mean upwards of 10000 900
to our farmers in the Second
District"
Under provisions of the
law, administered by the
State Agricultural Stabiliza-
ton and Conservation Com
mittee, farmers not wishing
to plant cotton, may release
their acreage and still main
tain history. Acreage not re-
leased and not planted would
eventually be lost.
Congressman Smith said
his achievement in guiding
this legislation through the
House to benefit all of the
cotton farmers in Mississippi,
is another example of his eff
fectiveness in the Congress.

Former Resident
Hos Street
Nomed After Som

OF interest to a wide
circle of friends in Holmes
County is the following arti-
Gle, reprinted from the Com
mercial Appeal, in which a
former resident, Mrs. c. Bill
Marlborough, nee Miss Josie
Word, and her husband were
instrumental in getting the
name of the street on which
they reside changed.
The article is as follows:
A street by any other name
would not Sound so terrible"
the c. Bill Yarbroughs fig
ured. And the City Commits
sion agreed.
We'll, how would you feel
if you lived on. Flossie?" Ma
yor Henry Loeb replied when
asked why the name w S
being changed.
The change came at the re-
quest of Mr.. and Mrs. Var
brough who, until the change,
lived at 3453 Flossie. Now
they live at 3453 Edgar.
1T just sounded so terri
ble," Mrs. Yarbrough explain
ed. The street, running two
blocks between Bells and
Cassie, is part of a new sub
division in Frayser. The fami-
ly was the, only one calling
Flossie home.
Edgar, the new streets
namesake, is the Yarbrough's
16-year-old son.
But who was Flossie?

ture very well.
Now it is time for the Lee
gislature as a whole to act
to change the system under
which the penitentiary is op-
Grated and pardons and pa
roles granted.
Only after the Legislature
acts can the people make the
final decision by approving
the required constitutional
amendments.
Now Parchman Superin-
tendent Fred Jones has been
fired (again) by the Commits
sioners of the penitentiary.
This is the second time and
it remains to be seen whether
or not he stays fired.
The first time the commits
sioners fired Mr.. Jones they
were persuaded in some way
to take him back, presumably
on the Instructions of Cover
nor Barnett.
According ito an Associated
Press story carried in the
April goth (Friday) Clarion
Ledger, the first decision to
rehire Mr.. Jones was made
in a meeting at the Execu-
tive Mansion attended by
House Speaker Walter Sillers
Of Bolivar County, Sen. R.
D. Everitt of Ruleville, Rep.
Wilburn Hooker of Holmes
County and Rep. Buddy
Newman of Issaquena.
The penitentiary commits
sioners declined to say they
were pressure" or intimi-
dated by the above gentle
men to reinstate Supt. Jones
but Commissioner Ross
said that Speaker Sillers had
told him: "You members OF
he (penitentiary) Commission
are HfOing to have to work
with the Legislature. We are
asking this Of YOU"

nett cannot do this. He ap-
pointed the three commission

pointed the superintendent.
But he appears to be running
the prison himself. AS long as
he persists in foisting his poll
teal appointments of incompe
tents on the prison staff he
cannot expect an efficient
job of administration from
the superintendent. If a man
can't hire or fire he has no
reasonable hope of running
anything successfully.
So at the present Governor
Barnett must be held respon-
sible for the sordid mess.
Our Governors main trou-
BILE today, it seems to us, is
that he has forgotten he is
governor and continually acts
as though he is still running

and tell some or his alleged

tect Governor Barnett from
his enemies but only the
Governor can protect him
