FARMERS OF SOUTH URGED
TO- SHOW PATRIOTISM BY
HELPING TO FEED NATION.
President Wilson Makes Proclaraation 10 Farmers
to Help on Great Scale to Feed Nation and
People Everywhere who are Fighting
for their Liberties and our Own


that service aud ass-gned to me funda-
mental, sustaining work Of tia 1le!us
and fact0Efes knd mines, and they will
be as much q part of the great patri-
otic forces Of the Nation as the men
under ire -
The Supreme Need.
II take the. liberty, therefore, of ad-
Edressing this lword to the farmers OF
the couitry and to all who work on the
farms: The supreme need of our own
Nation and the Nations with which we
are cooperating, is an abundance of
lssupplies, food supply especially for the
present year, is superlative. Without
abundant feed, alike for the armies
and the pe0ples now at war, the whole
great enterprise upon which we have
embarked will break down and fail.
The. worlds food reserves are low Not
Ionly during the present emergency, but
for some time after peace shall have
come both our own people and a large
lGpfoportion of the people of Europe
must rely upon the harVests in Ameri-
| ca. Upon the farmers of this country,
therefore, in a large measure, rests
the fate of the war and the fate Of the
Nations. May the Nation not count

crease the production of their land
or that viii bring about the most effec-
tuak cooperation in the sale and dis
tribution of their products? The time
is short tits of the most imperative
Importance that everything possible
be- done and one Immediately to make
sure Of large harvests 1 call upon
young men and old alike, and upon the
Or hFoI ,f To-
and act upon this duty, to turn in hosts
to the farms and make certain that no
pains and no labor is lacking in this
great matter
Appeal to South.
fI particularly appeal to the farm
seGs of the South to plant abundant
-Codstuffs as well as cotton. Fiiey
show their patriotism in no better or
I r~ores convincing may than by. resisting
the 'great temptation of the present
| price of cotton and helping, upon
great scale to-. feed the Nation
and the peoples everywhere who are
| fighting for their liberties and our own.
The variety of their crops will e the
| visible measure Of their comprehen-
sion OF their National duty.
