Cotton Promotion
Started By South
Carolina Growers

Columbia, S. c. - (Special)-
The Cotton Producers Institute
became a Beltwide research and
promotion effort March 6, when
South Carolina growers initial
ed the voluntary plan to in
crease cotton markets and pro-
fits.
J. E. Mayes Of Mayesville, S.
c., chairman of the Institutes
state steering committee, con-
graduated the group of some
IT'S growers on being the first
in the Southeast "to get the
plan going. With your type
leadership, am confident the
plan will be launched success
fully, just as it was in the
West and Mid-South the past
two years"
Robert R Coker of Hartsville,
president of the National Cotton
Council, commended producers
for starting the self-help plan
and added that as a grower, he
is 100 percent behind the plan.
"The Institute has asked for
use of the Council staff in or
ganization work and operating
the plans research and promo
ton program AS Council presi-
dent, l would like to pledge its
fullest cooperation to this end"
Mr.. Coker added.
Equal enthusiasm was shown
earlier this month when grow
ers in the Coastal Bend area of
Texas began the plan.

Figures Indicate
Change In State
Population Trend

A reversal in population
trends seems to be occurring in
Mississippi since the 1860 Cen.
sus was taken, according to Ell
len S. Bryant of the Experiment
Station rural sociology depart
ment at Mississippi State uni
versity. Mrs. Bryant reports:
Population estimates for 1876
indicate that the state is expert
encing the beginning of a ne,
immigration Of white persons
and continued, but declining
net outmigration of nonwhites
Figures released by the U. S,
Bureau of the Census set the
states total population at g.
248,0O0 in July Of 1862, repre-
senting a gain Of 3.2 percent
since April of 1860. In 1861, the
states population reached an es-
timated 2,212,60O for a gain of
about 1.6 percent. The estimat-
ed increase amounts to abou;
80 thousand for each year since
the census was taken.
"The population increase seems
to be spread throughout ma
jority of the counties and are ap-
parently the result of growth
of both the white and nonwhite
groups. The percent of gain
for the white population is larg-
er than can be accounted for by
natural increase alone, while
that for nonwhites is less than
would have accrued from the re-
tention of natural increase.
"The change in trends evi-
denced by the 1861 and 1862
estimates is somewhat startling
in view of the extremely heavy
population losses the state has
experienced over the last two
decades when a net of about
100000 left the state.
Because of the abruptness of
the indicated change the new
trends should be viewed and an
alyzed with caution - in spite
of the strong evidence of their
reality-until it can be estab-
lished whether they are only
temporary fluctuations or real
indicators of the start of a per-
manent expansion of Mississip-
pi communities and their eco
nomics.
Trends in the economy offer
some explanation of the new
population growth. Growth in
manufacturing has been steadi-
ly increasing in Mississippi. The
full impact of the new industry
gained by the state in 1861 has
probably not yet been felt, and
it seems reasonable to assume
that the state is continuing and
possibly accelerating the popu-
lation and industrial growth in
stigated in 1861.
"Jobs in agriculture were also
on the upswing in the state dur
ing 1861. Total annual wages
paid in agriculture, fishing and
forestry were 1876 percent high
er in 1861 than in 1860. These
figures suggest the possibility
that the severe losses of farm
population during the 1950's
have at least temporarily level

Details of Mrs. Bryant's re-
port, including figures for each
county in the state, are avail
able on request from the Mis-
sissippi Agricultural Expert
ment Station at State College,

Old Customs LiUe

Christmas In the United
States reflects heritage of
customs from many lands and
times. Trees, candles, bells,
carols and other we'll Loved ira :
ditions came, like the people
of the U. S., from other coun-
tries. In many communities,
people still celebrate Christ
mas as their ancestors did.
The U. S. has made its con-
tributionS to Christmas Gus
toms around the world, too.
Santa Claus, bearded and red
suited, was first personified in
"The Night Before Christmas"
by DR.. Clement Moore. Street
decorations, Santas in stores,
and special store displays of
gifts are U. S. ideas that have
been adopted on a global scale.
Smyrna times., 1963-12-24
In Any Language, AnyrUhere,
tsMerry Christmas Everywhere
Iage, AnytUhere,

From Tokyo to West Berlin,
from Buenos Aires to Copen-
hagen - and even in the cities
of Russia and the satellite
countries - the glow of the
Christmas spirit spreads
around the world, for Christ
mas is truly universal holi-
day.
The legends and traditions
gathered about it are many,
and customs can, ana 90, vary
from country to country. All
nations, through their folk
lore, have made their special
contributions to the tradition
al Ways of celebrating the bir-
thday of Christ.
When the customs of one
country are compared with an
other, its's sometimes hard to
believe that the same holiday
is being commemoratedI
How To Say 1t
Along with the different ways
of observing Christmas, there
are, Of course, different ways
of extending greetings, accord
ing to the langage of the country.
To give just few examples,
in Sweden it's "God Jul", in
French "Joyeus Noel" and in
German ''Froliche Weihnac-
hten." In Russian, it's ''S Ro-
zhdestvon Khristovym."
Whatever the language, the
words mean, Merry Christ
mas" --old that's the key to
the variety of Christmas GUS
toms. Though the peoples of
many lands have unique Yule
traditions, each is a way of
expires sing the spirit OF Christ
mas = a spirit that is the
same everywhere, in every
place and time.
AT Christmas, the thoughts
of people around the world
turn to the joys of home, OF
being with family and friends.
the merriment of feasting and
parties, the pleasures of giving
and receiving gifts, the salts
factions of helping others. The
affirmation of faith, the re-
newed promise of life eternal
and the hope for "Peace or
earth, goodwill toward all men"
bring spiritual rewards in a
season of worship and prayer.

|Marzipan Has
Sweet Story

Sweet is the history of mar
Zipan, a confection that is usu-
ally thought of as Christmas
candy. Today, it is still being
made with the same kind of
ingredients as those used hun
dreds of years ago.
1t consists of freshly ground
almonds made into a paste.
whole eggs or whites of eggs,
sugar, syrup and flavoring.
Sometimes honey is added.
There are many legends con-
corning the word, ''marzipan,
says the Candy, Chocolate and
Confectionery institute.
One old tale attributes it to
the bread eaten by St. Mark in
the desert - ''Marci panis, :"
the bread of Marcus.
Records show that Bartolo-
me Scappi, secret cook to Pope
Plus v, made marzipan with
the ingredients now found in
modern recipes for the candy.

Kisses Are Numbered
BY Mistletoe Berries

Mistletoe figures in many
legends from pre-Christian
times. Druid tree -worshippers
believed 1t had magical pow
ers of healing. Romans thought
that enemies who met beneath
the mistletoe must kiss and
declare a days truce.
Today, kissing beneath the
|mistletoe remains a happy holi-
day custom. Correct procedure
is that a berry must be re-
moved for every kiss taken, and
when all the berries are gone,
there are no more kisses avail
able.
