      Four films produced by the Mississippi Agricultural and Industrial Board from the 1950s through the 1970s. The exact dates are indeterminate, but clothing and car styles indicate the eras. All films are in color and run times vary between 14 and 20 minutes. The Magnolia State is a tourism promotion film made in the 1950s. Mississippi Magic, also made in the 1950s, concerns all the modern improvements Mississippi has made to its education, agriculture, transportation and medical infrastructures thanks to its Balance Agriculture with Industry Program. Travels in Mississippi is a 1970s-era tourism promotion film, as is Vacation, Mississippi Style.
