| MISSISSIPPI renown for its cotton fields is the second largest producer in the nation. Since legalizing gambling, the giant casinos may blot the landscape of the sweeping Delta flatlands, but the revenue from Memphis and Tennessee is put into the education of the poorer counties, thus warding off their reputation of discrimination. While the major city is the capital Jackson, there are historic river towns like Vicksburg and Natchez, and blues fans need go no further than the sleepy Delta settlements such as Alligator or Yazoo City.
