orqanizine "Feed Yourself" Clubs.

Statewide effort is being made in the
cotton mill communities OF S0uth Car
olina to organize Feed Yourself
clubs. A special program to facil-
tate the movement has been prepared
by George D. Brown, Jr. state mill
school supervisor, and is being widely
distributed by the state department OF
education. Special appeal is made by
Mr.. Brown to the teachers In the mill
schools to mobilize the children IN the
mill villages into hoe brigades. THE
child who plants a vegetable garden,
raises a pig or dozen chickens or
few bushels Of potatoes, will be con-
sidered a soldier no less than the
grown up man, who wears uniform
The program consists OF talks by
school trustees, teachers or other In
vited speakers. the reading OF the gov
ernor's proclamation of war. the sing.
ing of patriotic airs by the children
and recitations by pupils. 1nstruc'
tions as to organization Of Feed Your
self" clubs are:
Enlist successful gardeners or
farmers as lieutenants, who shall pass
their knowledge gained from exper-
ience on to captains and volunteers.
Enlist the teachers, ministers, or
other persons willing to give super
vision in gardening as volunteer cap
tains.
Enlist the children as volunteer
gardeners. They are to plant their
back yards and waste lands according
to the instructions Of the captains.
Arrangements suitable to each
community should be made by which
captains can be given instructions in
gardening. Those who join are urged
to plant cabbage, tomatoes, beans,
peas, sweet potatoes, butter beans and
corn. Most of these vegetables can
be saved without canning"
In making the appeal directly to
the teachers as the leaders among the
mill people, Mr.. Browns says:
"In this time of great national
strain to meet the emergency OF war
preparation, there is work for all to
do. The world is facing great food
scarcity, such as 1t has not known
for years. South Carolina must be-
come self sustaining in food products
or our people will suffer.
"An army must be raised among the
mill children of South Carolina. This
army is not an army Of fighters, but an
army of feeders. The boys and girls
enlisted will not carry guns and dig
trenches; they will carry hoes and
plant vegetables. They will not de-
stroy; they will produce. The child
who plants a vegetable garden, raises
a pig or q dozen chickens, or few
bushels Of potatoes, will be considered
a soldier no less than the grown up
man who wears q uniform. Each boy
and girl must be made to feel that he
or she has q part in our national pro-
gram for war.
81 am asking you to find out from
the mill authorities what their plans
are for home gardens. Ask the farm

paredness committee Of your county
to arrange an evenings enlightenment

people spread the gospel Of prepared
