OUTSTANDING
Farmer
OF The Year
Electric Power Associations Of
Mississippi Co-Sponsor Young
Farmer Awards

A werl-deserved kiss from his wife and a hand
some plaque from the Mississippi Jaycees rounded
out the harvest season for Mississippi's "Outstand-
ing Young Farmer of the Year" in 1863.
For William E. Crenshaw of Route /, Winona,
It was uphill all the way-but the stamina and de-
termination which typifies Mississippi's farmers
brought him from total crop failure in 1949 to the
Jaycees' top farm award in 1868.
Being named outstanding Young Farmer OF
the Year" means Crenshaw has been recognized and
commended for hard work, careful planning and
application of modern farming methods. It means
he has made unusual progress in his agricultural
career and he has adhered to good soil and natural
resources conservation practices. It also means he
has made significant contributions to the we'll
being of his community, state and nation through
leadership in civic, farm, and church organizations.

1868 A Banner Year In The South

ATLANTA (UPD = The year
1863 was a great sports year for
the South with one exception;
the region still was unable to
attract a major professional
baseball or football team.
It was a banner year for col
lege football. Seven of Dixie's
major teams won bowl bids
and nine were ranked among
the top 28 teams in the nation.
1t was also a season of sus-
pense since the championships
Of all three major conferences
the Southeastern, the Atlantic
Coast and the Southern-were
not decided until the final
games.
The big news in basketball
was the Duke Blue Devils who
finished third in the NCAA
playoffs and posted a brilliant
27-3 record thanks largely to the
play Of All-American Art Hey
man.
Best in baseball were the At
lanta Crackers who finished
second in the Southern Division
of the AAA International
League. The only other profess
sional minor league of wide
spread interest in the South
was the AA South Atlantic.
Biggest sports story during
the year was the controversy
that revolved around Wally

The Soviet government may OF may

protests have been made to the United
States. There is always the terrible
possibility Of new, perhaps this time
fatal, conformation between Wash
ington and Moscow. Desides this,
there is the strong chance that raids

Heart and mind are likely to be some
what at odds on the question of the
Cuban refugee groups raids on Cuba.
One may be inclined to cheer the har-
assment of shipping in Cuban ports, on
the grounds that any action against the.
repressive Castro regime is commend
able. But sober thought suggests that
the United States government is right
in calling such attacks irresponsible.
The bravery of the refugees engaged
in these attacks is undeniable. But
their good sense, in the light of the
world situation, is not evident There
is responsibility in the attackers
reckless disregard of possible conse-
quences-not harm to themselves, but
damage to the f1imsy structure of world

On The Tax Problem

The Legislative Information Serv.
ice, which is published bi-weekly by the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States while Congress is in session,
has done all excellent job of summing
up, in objective fashion, the pending
changes in tax rates and tax policy.
Then it adds some suggestions Of its
own which are at variance with the
Administration position.
Excessive tax rates, the argument
runs, are slowing economic growth and
progress and are prime cause Of a
comparatively high unemployment to-
tai. Just about everyone is in agree
ment with this premises. The differ
ences consist of what to do about it.
The Administration stand is that re
vised rates and tax reform should be
combined in a single bill, with the re
ductions taking place over three-year
period.
Individual income tax rates now run
from 20 per- cent to 81 per cent. They
would be reduced to range from IA per
cent to 65 per cent.
The rate OH corporations of any size
is now So per cent 1t would be cut to
AZ per cent. This would largely be ac-
complished by gradually reducing the
surtax rate which corporations in sub
stantial income brackets now pay.
Along with this, if the Administra-
tion plan is followed, there will be
structural changes in the tax system.
These, as the Information Service OBJ
serves, are highly controversial. There
are three main ones: /. The placing of

THE POWER OF THE
BRAIN
Psychologists tell me that the
brain is used at only about SO
Of its capacity. Many reading
this column will live to see our
educational system entirely re-
organized. Young people will be
trained to think and reason. We
may not need to pay thousands
Of dollars for a data-processing
when each Of us carries
in his head machine superior
in efficiency and power. Pro-
fessor George R. Harrison,
Dean Of the School Of Science
at NIT in Cambridge, Mass,
has written a book which every
educator should read. II l.,
during my lifetime, have ad-
vanced from driving an OK team
to riding jet plane, is 1t not
reasonable that those who are
young today will see similar
progress?
Chemists tell me that great
changes will take place in the
food we eat. It will become more
tasteful, more digestible, more
nealthful, and free from anyI
poisons. It will be illegal to use
certain insecticides. One BIZ
ologist even claims that soup
manufacturers may collect and
IAN insects instead Of killing
hem. These are just few Of |
he thoughts which come to my
mind as I look ahead fifty years;
either the insects will eat our |
ood up, or we must awake up"
