This article presents information on the socio-economic condition of people living in Mississippi. It is opined that war spending has spilled a golden flood across the country. Weekly wages, fattened by exhausting overtime labor, induced hundreds of thousands of workers to migrate from tenant farms to the large coastal shipyards or the booming war-material factories, though the big money went to manufacturers, business men and land owners. The general pattern of inflation rates governing the market gave the independent and semi-independent farmers a proportionately greater share in the war largess than the workers.
