Library Service
To Rural Areas
On Increase

National Library Week, April
8-14, had a special significance
to farm families Of Mississippi.
Today library service to rural
areas Of Mississippi is being in
creased at a faster rate than in
any other state in the nation.
Professional library leaders
from throughout the United
States as we'll as from score
of foreign nations have visited
Mississippi in the past six years
to see for themselves the tre-
mendous interest in libraries in
small communities and rural
areas.
Just fifteen years ago only
35 per cent of the people Of
Mississippi had any form Of
local public library service.
These library facilities were
mainly limited to town and city
resident. Only IL of Mississipi's
public libraries had means of
getting books to rural readers.
Just handful of the hundreds
of thousands Of farm boys and
girls, men and women had the
opportunity to seek new ideas
through reading.
Today Al counties have book
mobile service. These counties
include 60 incorporated towns
and nine unincorporated places
of over 1000 population. Book
mobiles serve total population
of almost $4,000 people.
These bookmobiles travel the
highways and gravel roads
making school and community
stops. They make regular visits
to country stores, park in front
of a conveniently located home.
In fact, bookmobiles stop
wherever five or more families
can gather.
The increase in bookmobTe
and in libraries throughout Mis-
sissippi indicates the high in
terest in reading which now
prevails throughout the state.
Mississippians today are
seeking new ideas and new
methods to bring about better
living.

Mississippi is in its path. Ap-
parently spreading northward
from Mexico, entomologists say
it entered Arizonia, New Mexi-
CO, and Texas in 1913 and has
now moved into 13 states.
Although the corn borer was
not reported in Mississippi un-
til 1859, it has now been found
in 80 counties in the northern
half of the state and has become
a corn pest of great economic

and stalk of mature corn may
be weakened by girdling activi-

the U. S. Department Of Agri-
culture and the Mississippi

tion seek the best means of
stopping this borer damage.
One approach to controlling
the pest has been early plant
ing. In a one-year test at the
Delta Experiment Station,
Stoneville, corn planted April
II had less borer damage than
that planted at at three
later dates. Another study in
