AN APPEAL MADE
 TO ARK. FARMERS

Carl Vrooman Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, said in his speech: "The responsibility for adequate food production lies with the individual citizen. Any planter or farmer who in this national crisis fails to put a large percentage of his land in food crops is lacking both. in patriotism and in common prudence We cannot win this war if we permit the boys at the front to supply all the self sacri- fee. Today the first duty of the South and Nation is to get food Every loyal man, woman and child must share in this common burden and privilege
 Bradford Knapp, Chief of the Elk tension work in Agriculture and Home Economics in the South says:
 For nearly three years I have done my best to warn you to prepare for the present emergency. For years We have tried to encourage diversifcation in the South as a basis for greater safety, both agricultural and econonl- ic Since the war began in Europe we have urged safe farming. When prices were low you did well and made great progress. When cotton went to eighteen cents and over you made large profits because of your progress in safe farming, but some were tempted to go back to cotton. m common with many other men, I have tried to warn you of that danger. Cot ton has not been high, but has only increased in somewhat less propor- tion than food and feed"
 The South has been shipping in nine hundred million dollars worth of food annually. Last year Arkansas bought sixty-fve million dollars worth of food. There is every likelihood that the government will take over the railroads to transport soldiers and equipment for the soldiers very soon In that event Arkansas must feed herself or starve. What are you go- ing to do about it. This is no time for argument. It is time to act. You know how to raise it. Will you?
 Save the breeding stock. Don't sell COWS, heifers, mares, sows, gilts, ewes or hens. If the breeding stock is sold where will you get the means to sup ply the meat of this country?
 Let the boys join the pig, peanut or corn clubs and show that they can help tight too. Let the girls and wo- men join the poultry and canning clubs and help feed their sons and brothers at the front. Let Us all for

Pulaski County's Food Preparedness

trol lands actively support and use all their influence to secure the production of food.
 Contracts for rents and for methods of cropping may already be made, but no landowner, true to his country, will stand in the way of production of food stuffs because of selfish considerations Even from the selfish financial point of view. to put all your land in cotton this year is poor business Judgment. In all likelihood food crops will be more in demand in the South than even cot ton. Much larger acreages must be de- voted to corn, soy and velvet beans, po- tatoesS forage. home gardens, and this fall the grains-all of which is impos- sihle if the land Is in cotton
 The responsibility of this crisis on the individual landowner is as great as upon the individual farmer. the indi- vlduaI banker. the individual merchant or the individual soldier in the trenches If our nation is to exert her full might in her splendid crusade for democracy and liberty, the same invineible spirit of patriotism must animate alike all classes of our citizens. Landowners of Tennessee. the time has come for you to sign your pledges and "do your bit' for the South. for the nation, and for the successful termination of this war.

ITINERARY OF MEETINGS TO BE HELDIN THE SCHOOL HOUSES BEGINNING NEXT TUES
 DAY NIGHT.

Pulaski County's war campaign tor food preparedness under the direction of the county agricultural agents, F. L. Dean, M. c. Graham and Miss Min nie T. Allen, with the assistance of inc Little Rock Federation of Clubs, the Young Mems Bureau of the Board of Commerce, the Profitable Farming Bureau and the bankers and business men of Little Rock will begin next Monday morning, April Is, at s o'clock
 Two hundred cars will make con- Ulete tour of the county, visiting prac- ticalIy every farm house, distributing copies of the speech made by Carl yrooman, Assistant Secretary of Agri- culture, at the City Auditorium Mon day night.
 The ladies who have offered to go on the automobile tour Monday and who will take cars are Mrs. John For dyee, Mrs W. E. Hemingway, Mrs. Pat Crawford, Mrs. Gordon Campbell, Mrs. Frank Gibb, Mrs. George Gun ningham, Miss Minnie Allen, Miss Mary McCabe, Mrs. Clio Harper, Mrs. W. S. Mitchell, Mrs. G. E.

 MT. Graham and MT. Dean say that approximately sixty-five million dol lars worth of food stuffs was shipped into Arkansas last year. With this supply cut off by the probable taking oyer of the transportation facilities of the country by the government for the soldiers and Allies, Arkansas must feed herself or go hungry.
 Beginning Tuesday night meetings will be held at places mentioned be- low to go more fully into the. matter with the farmers and to help devise means to relieve the situation.
 At these meetings will be promi- nent bankers and business men, the county agents, and others to speak on the needs of agricultural preparedness in Pulaski County.

YATES MILL, oLMsTEAD AND R.
 F n No 9 CABOT.


 Olmstead is on Bayou Meto and near other creeks and the immediate territory is largely valley land.
 Tate's Mill is also on Bayou Meto. The people receive their mail over R. F. D. No. 2 Jacksonville, Route 1, Cato. and Route 2 Cabot, also pass through this neighborhood.
 Running due east from the mill is a sandy valley taking it's name from the mill. Just north of it is another val ley separated from it by narrow ridge I should say less than one eighth of a mile wide. This last val ley has a gravelly soil. North of it Is another ridge similar to the other. Along the south side of this ridge runs the main road from Tate's Mill to Cab ot. Across this ridge is the Batesyille road.
 Just above the Cabot road, about half way up the ridge, is bluff or streak of rock above which is earth. It is almost level on top and looks like it was designed for a roadway. These ridges running due east and west are in timber and unfeDced, fur nishing an outside range and outlet for stock. The roads run on the south side of the ridges and the farm homes are all along the road. The ridges and valleys are about five miles long and inhabited by thrifty population. Church are numerous, Methodist, Bap- tist, Christian and Presbyterian, each having a building. Ebenezer is To- cated near the county line, just south of the Tate's Mill valley road. It is one of the most prosperous communi- ties in the county Most dwellings are dipping vat which was completed last year. Mir Wicker, father of our corre- spondent, has his farm all terraced. the only terraced farm have seen in the county. The first terrace was built some two years ago, and the soil above 1t is practically level, enough having been retained in places to raise tue level three feet above the terrace be- low it, which shows how much of the richest soil has been saved by this small expenditure of labor
 I was informed that practically all the inhabitants of these valleys quit work at noon every Saturday and spend the half day in Cabot This is made possible by all the roads down each valley going direct to that place.

DANGERS OF PRICE FIXING

The grave dangers incident tc
loose legislation placing price con.
troll in the hands of one man, or oi
few men, are illustrated by the
decline of $l3 per bale in the price
Of cotton when il was proposed to
add that commodity to the list oi
articles over which the President
should have control. If a $l3 drop
in price results from the mere sug-
gestion that cotton be added to the
list, what limit would there be to
the rise and fall of prices when
the power had been established and
rumors were circulated regarding the
action the President or his advisors
would take.
Nobody has forgotten that a few
months ago there was leak" of
information regarding a communica-
ton the President was preparing
upon the subject of peace. At the
time of that leak certain men operat-
ing in the stock exchange cleaned
up fortunes. With price control
vested in the President, which power
he must necessarily exercise through
others, there would be great danger
of erratic price movements, both up
and down, as the more or less auth
entic rumors circulated concerning
the action to be taken. The for
tunes made through the leak would
be small compared with the sums
of money that would change hands
on the prospect of executive action
in price fixing.
