A proposal that 39 states secede from the Union, leaving a "financial East" of nine state, was before the North Dakota legislature today. State Senator W. E. Martin yesterday introduced in the Senate a resolution charging eastern states have become rich "at the expence of the rest of the Union." and advocating separation of the Union into two countries. Action on it was postponed until today.

Senator W.

Any thinking person will agree that it is neither practical or possible for Mississippi to supply all of her wants. However, a vast quantity of her needs that are now being supplied from outside sources can be economically and satisfactorily supplied from within the borders of the State. At present, the trade balance of Mississippi with outside territory runs adversely into many millions of dollars annually. This condition has rapidly depleted our wealth and purchasing power until today, Mississippi stands forty-eighth among the states in per capita wealth and per capita income. The Mississippi Products Campaign has the objective of balancing the trade volume of Mississippi and keeping at home the enormous toll that has gone out each year to enrich other sections and other states.

H. C. BY W. F. BOND, State Supt.

of Education The time is here now for taking the enumeration of the educable children of the state again. This census is taken every two years and is used as a basis for the disbursement of the per capita state school fund. Heretofore, the names of all people between the ages of five and twenty-one years have been included but this will not be done this time for the reason that the people approved the proposed amendment to the Constitution which raises the minimum educable age to six. Therefore, in this enumeration the names of all persons between the ages of six and twenty-one years as of September first this year will be included. This enumeration is for use during the calendar years of 1934-1935 and not for use for the present year.

This is the reason why only those persons names who will be six by September first of this year or not more than 21 should be included. The Federal Census of 1930 not only gives the total population by counties but also by ages for both the white and colored races. It seems that in the past some counties did not get all the names that should be on this roll while others go to the other extreme. The Federal Census will be an excellent guide this time.

Secretary of Agriculture of 'Fair Exchange Prices' based upon the pre-war parity. "The pre-war price of cotton was 12.2c per pound and the most recent index of products purchased by farmers was 107 per cent. The indicated price of cotton therefore is 12.2c multiplied by 107 per cent or approximately 12 1-2 cents per pound upon that portion consumed within America. Exported cotton receives no benefit. Upon this basis, a normal crop during 1933 should yield approximately 9c per pound.

However, if industrial products increase in cost during this time, cotton prices would likewise increase. Thus, the index for 1931 was 126, and upon that basis the domestic price would be 15.3c and the all-crop price might be anywhere from 10 l-2c to 12c. "The foregoing application is to be maintained by an adjustment charge or excise tax levied upon processing plants which is to be the difference between the price actually received by farmers and the 'Fair Exchange Price' declared by the Secretary. The benefits of the Act are applicable only to farmers who reduce acreage and production 20 per cent, thus providing definite acreage and production control. "While the measure offers no relief to the 8 million bales experoted annually, on the whole it is apparently productive of two prerequisites to agricultural recovery and national prosperity; these being, substantially increased prices, and future production not in excess of consumptive demand."
