NEW TOBACCO WAREHOUSE.
WhitrviIl~ Stockholders to Begin
Construction mt Once.

Whiteville. April 30.-It was decid-
ed al a meeting of the Whiteville Com
mercial Club Wednesday to erect at
once a tobacco warehouse to cost ap-
proximately $4,000 assuring Whitcville
one of the best markets in this section
of the State with a full corps of buy
ers. Wilson and TugSlc. tobacco deal
ers of Danville. Va, have leased the
warehouse for two years with an OPP
ton on a five-ycar lease. and will at
once start preparations for handling
this years production.
Stockholders in the Growers TObac-
co Warehouse Company have been
largely instrumental. with the aid of
the Commercial Club. in securing the
new warehouse and tobacco market for
Whiteville and with radius OF from
fifteen to twenty miles to draw from
in the heart of the best tobacco sec
ton of the State. it is safe to assume
that the sales this year will be enor-
nous in view of the large acreage that
will be planted and fair crop conditions
obtained.
The new warehouse will be on Rail-
road avenue with an outlet to the ad-
jacent street.

CAN'T sTARvE GERMANY
Roger w. Babson Says U. s. Embargo
Would Weaken Allies.

Among the very interesting private
reports now being received from Eu
rope are those relating to the agri-
cultural situation. These reports
show clearly that all the countries are
planting large areas Of grains. etc.
than they have ever planted before
writes Roger w. Babson.
When the war broke out the nations
were taken unawares, as regards hav.
ing made any previous arrangement,
for food supply. II Germany had pre-.
meditated the war against France and
Russia, she had hoped that England
would not enter, and thus she would
be able to draw upon other countries
for supplies. The entrance Of Eng
land into the conflict, and the plucky
defense put up by the Belgians, cut
off Germanys connection with the
outside world, and will have a very
important bearing on the length Of the
war.
An examination of the figures
show that all the countries. excepting
England, raise considerably more than
is necessary for sustaining their pop
ulation. In times Of peace. eight bush
els per capita of wheat and rye are
more than sufficient to provide for the
people of these countries, whose diet
Is about one half bread. II will there

ish war Of 1S76-IS, wheat started at
SO cents rose to $l.76 in 1877. broke
to II cents at the end Of the war. but
then rose to $1.44 in 1882.
That shows that the real high price
often comes after hostilities are all
over. So it may we'll be this time,
particularly with German and Austria,
their ports open at last, bowling for
foodstuffs.
THE general formula for the price
Of flour is this: Roughly. barrel OF
-four Is worth five times the market
price of a bushel Of wheat. So now
wheat 1; around $3.50 a bushel, and
-four $3.50 barrel;
II believe wheat will be 81 bushel
this year. l look to see flour $40 a
barrel. We think these prices terrible
Just because we are used to wheat at
so, 20 and 80 cents bushel and flour
at IS a barrel. They are not terrible
as things stand.
You still have your 900 one-pound
loaves Of bread from barrel Of flour
II the barrel goes to SO the loaves at
nickle each will still represent s15
worth Of bread.
People think they have to buy
| bread all nicely wrapped and expen-
sively advertised. There is nothing to
restrain them from emulating their
grandparents and making the bread at
home of flour they have bought them
selves. A little yeast, water, little
salt and heat to bake the loaf are not
yet prohibitively expensive"
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1915-01-22

fore be seen that. If the same rate Of
production can be maintained during
the next few years, England Is the
only country which could be literally
starved out, even by complete block
ade
1t must not, however, be forgotten
that the great consumers Of grain are
not the people, but rather the live
stock Of the countries. Hence Ger
many and Austria import certain
grains. notwithstanding their large
production. An examination Of figures
shows Russia leads in the approx
mate number Of cattle, pigs, sheep and
horses owned at the outbreak Of hos
United Kingdom third.
So long as England has control Of
the seas the allies can never be starv-
ed out. Russia Is absolutely self
supporting. Thus a discussion of
food supply resolves itself into the
simple question, Can Germany and
Austria be starved out? So far as
horses are concerned, this is possible.
So far as cattle, pigs and sheep are
concerned, 1t is improbable. So far as
grains. potatoes and other food sup
plies are concerned. 1t is impossible,
unless Germany Is overrun by the
troops Of the allies. Although during
the last 20 years, Germany and Austria
have never yet raised enough to feed
both their people and their animals
yet they have always raised enough
to feed all their people and more than
half their animals. This means that,
as the supply Of these two countries
in animals decreases, the supply Of
foodstuffs for their people in the
grains and other products Of the field
must increase.
Whether or not 1t comedies with our
hopes, the conclusion Is that Germany
and Austria cannot be starved out so
long as the armies Of the allies do not
ravage their countries. Were this
country to put an embargo on food
supplies and munitions Of war 1t would
bring the allies to their knees very
quickly; but do not see how 1t would
affect Germany or Austria. The only
way these countries can be conquered
is to have them ravaged by an army
Of invasion such as was operated by
Sherman In the Southern Confeder-
acy at the time Of the civil war.
AS Germany and Austria cannot be
starved out except through a huge
ravaging army Of invasion, and II 1t
would take years before such an army
could break through to accomplish
this feat, why Is 1t not the part Of
wisdom from the point Of view Of ev-
cry nation now to cease hostilities and
compromise on some sensible basis?
