FEEDING EUROPE.

FEEDING EUROPE.
How long will the food supply OF
the warning nations of Europe last ?
This question ia partly answered by
statistics nov being prepared by the
Department Of Agriculture. These
same statistics also show that OF the
Triple Ettente, Russia alone produces
food products more than sufficient for
her own needs. Furthermore, they
show that all allies will be very large
ly dependent upon the United States
for the food with which to maintain
their armies. Apparently, II the war
is long continued, Germany and Aus
tria nay be starved out.
Uncle Sam, with bumper crops, a
wheat production Of quarter OF a
billion bushels more than the average
for the last 10 years, and oecn'l iug
position Of absolute neutrality, with
the power to enforce that neutrality,
will be able to make pretty much his
own terms hese facts stand out
strongly in considering the food pro-
ducts situation in Europe.
OF the six nations at present EN- :
broiled, only one-Russia--l reduces
more wheat it consumes. All the
others import wheat for hume con-
sumption.
Aside from Rus, ia, only two ma
tons produce more cereal OF any
kind than they consume. All Others
excepting Germany AMI Austria
Hungary, are forced to import all
cereals for home consumption. Ger
many exports 7,O4,6O7 bushels If rye
Annually, and Austria Hungary
raises 19,646,572 bushels more Of
barley addurily than is consumed
within her borders.
In meat products, the countries al |
ed with the Triple Entente produce
early twice as many cattle and five
lines as many sheep as do Austria
hungary and Germany combined.
The Teuton allies, however, produce
bout one-third more than their enc
mics.
Germany and Austria Hungary,
with a.total population Of Ito, 4S2, TAO,
ace an annual shortage in wheat OF
2,446,4 6S bushels. The average
pearly consumption per capita for
these two countries is 3 SO bushels
under ordinary circum, tances.
The countries Of the Triple En-
tente face net shortage of S9,245,
942 spread over population of ESQ.,
l42,525. The average OF per capita
consumption annually for the conn
tries which do not Export is 7.73.
Russia alone of the counties in the
Triple Entente exports 150,S75,000
bushels of wheat annually. The u
nited States was the second larges
exporter OF wheat in the W )rld uni
this year. Her humber crop is tx
pscted to place her III the lead, with
a total far above the 200,OO0,0OO
mark.
Virtually alof the cereal items are
on the export side OF Russia's edger.
Aside from an export of more than
150,000,000 bushels of wheat, her
corn exports ru upward of 10000,
900 bushels and her oats export is
one Of the largest il the world.
In contrast to the figures for all
30 intries, except Russia, statistics for
he Unite States show that of the
cereals named we import only rice
md comparatively small quantity
i that. On the other hand, our ex-
'orts in many cases exceed the i'm
'orts of some of the larger countries.
The live stock figures for the
ountries embroilek are quite as ill.,
as those for cereals.

KEEP MIN HERE.

We understand thar through az
Act of Congress that il order to keep
and have a demonstration agent here
that the county will have to meet the
government 10 the payment Of his
salary. In other words, a. We IN
dsrstand il, the government will not
emp OF de nonstrating agent in this
county unless our people through the
County Commissioners agree 20 pay
a certain proportion of his salary.
We have had little opportunity to
appreciate and see the value Of a
demonstrating agent but that little
speaks volumes. Las, year and this,
the government has been employing
Mr.. w. X. Linthicum, of this town,
and the good results accomplished
shows beyond any question Of doubt
that the work should be kept up.
Last year besides being of much
assistance to the farmers throughout
the county in aiding them to farm
along modern and sci -ntifc lines sue
cessfuIly. he organized boys corn
clubs which proved one of the most
successful adventures among The
farmer boys ever attempted in this
county. The difference in expense,
], s-->ss s.ss.s ~ rba corn ros.ffss<
IN the heiu Of these boys was as great
as the difference betw cen night and
day. These boys made more money
from their one acre than their fathers
did from four or five acres, hence,
there must be re son wh,.
Before the government went into
the demonstrating work our fathers
were moving along in the same old
antiquated way and the boys who
had the nerve to stick to the farm
plodded along YEARLY IN their foot
steps having no further ambition
than to make living. Since the
boys corn clubs were organized an
the results of the same become known
as well as from the demonstration
work carried on in the county
the farmers and their sons are
no longer satisfied to make a living
but want to make money on then
farms as they now realize that
through following the advice and in-
struction of tx demonstrating agent
that farming pays. Aside from the
great benefit that this work has done
for the older farmers the corn club
contest results have proved a s.rone
incentive to the boy to stay on the
farm, where he can lead healthy, hon
o'able life and make money while hi
city brother plods his weary way
getting neither here nor there ac-
ccnplishing and gaining nothing
Therefore, we believe and
think tn, county should
meet the government and contribute
Its share to keep a demohstrator in
onr county We do not believe
there is a single taxpayer in the
county who has seen the good ac-
complished by Mr.. Linthicum who
would for a minute raise the slightest
objection to it but rather in one voice
say "Yes' put up the money and
keep him here.

To obtain the full vaj'Ie of crimson

crop should he pl0Wed under, thus ad

the greater the benefit that the sue

cess. A yield of 40 bushels of corn
per acre may ordinarily be Increased

lands an Increase OF more than 10

method of calculation Is to consider {,

MILL. LEAGUE is
TO BE ORGANIZED
Meeting Held Here Yesterday For
the Purpose of Fsrfecting Such
An Organization
tFrom snnday,s pally.l


A meeting of the baseball fans of
the various mills In Anderson, was
held yesterday afternoon at which
time plans were perfected for organ
izing such league I'm Anderson. The
meeting was attended by practically
all of the mill officials OF the city
and II is foFegone conclusion that
the league will shortly be underway.
The people OF Anderson, irrespective
OF any particular mill or OF locality for
that matter, should lend their aid to
this move. That baseball OF any kind
in Anderson during the coming Sum-
mer months would be paying propos
sition is o fact. The people of An
: derson want baseball and II they are
given good baseball they will literally
support 1t.
IN the event that tho mill officials
formally announces the formation of
such league, 1t is up to the people
OF Andersen to- lend their support and
see TO II that the league Is made to
pay.
