Cotton Plantation Gives Mississippi
Biggest Crop Growing Area in U.S.
Scott. Miss. U.R What the
fabulous King Ranch In Texas is I
to cattle, the 35,00U-acre Delta
and Pine Land company planta
tion here is to cotton. It is the
biggest in the United States.
The D&HL spread often is
called the "largest cotton plan
tation in the world." But the
outfit's new acting president,
Basil J. Young, said there are
larger ones in the Egyptian
Sudan and in India, although
this is the largest single unit
plantation in the south.
Young has just succeeded Os
car Johnston, one of the world s
foremost cotton authorities, who
resigned because of poor health.
It's not a completely-new task
for the 73-year-old veteran,
however, since he's been here in
the heart of the Mississippi Delta
since 1911.
Started by British
The DiPL was formed that
year by a British syndicate of
spinners and doublers. Young,
then a civil engineer, was hired
to handle drainage problems in
this flat countryside. He became
assistant general manager, gen
eral manager and now acting
president.
Born in the London suburb of
Kensington In May, 1877, Young
moved to the United States in
1894, settling in California. His
father was a Shakespearean lec
turer.
At the age of 19 he became an
American citizen but he has
never lost his English accent.
His father gave him $500 for a
college education and Young
promptly spent it on a trip to
Alaska.
Two years later, in 1888, he
returned to California. The urge
to adventure still was strong,
however, and Young went on to
the sold mining area around
Cripple Creek, Colo.. In hopes of
riches. Again he mined his El
Dorado.
Another two years, and again
he heard the call of the Klon
dike. Young followed the rush
to the frozen north, where he
rubbed shoulders with gamblers,
miners and prospectors.
"I saw gamblers loso as much
as $:i2,000." he remembers, "and
then saw them win It back again
plus $32,000 more in the same
faro game."
The riches of the Klondike
eluded Young. He returned to
California and farming.
That, too, proved unsatisfac
tory, and in 1904 he look up civil
engineering. He worked as a
civil engineer for the Southern
Pacific railroad, laying out the
baiton sea fine through lamor
nia. His immediate boss and friend
was A. T. Mercier, now president
of the railroad. He setled briefly
in San Bernardino, Cat., and
then came east to the Delta,
Australia May Build
Own Waldorf Hotel
Canberra, Australia (U.R)
New York s Waldorf-Astoria ho
tel soon may have a baby sister
here in Canberra.
Owner of the famous Ameri
can hotel are reported to be
planning the "most luxurious
hotel in Australia" for this coun
try's capital. Though nothing
concrete yet has been an
nounced, architects are already
supposed to be working on the
design of a proposed building to
house about ::00 guests.
The hotel, reports say, will in
many ways resemble the wal
dorf, but on a much smaller
scale.
American Interests have been
discussing for some time a pro
posal to build a chain of luxury
hotels throughout Australia for
the tourist traffic, but the main
stumbling block has been lack
of labor and materials.
