These have been our sentiments
for some time. The usual way a
boy is treated on his home farm
generally serves to give him a dis
taste for farm life and the main rea-
son that more Of them do not leave
is that the initiative has been
knocked out OF them hy unreason-
able fathers.
A son should be taught and trust
ed. His judgment developed and
exercised. AS rule he is just maGe
a common farm hand, criticised and
held responsible for everything that
goes wrong and never encouraged.
A brilliant exception to this rule
has just come to our knowledge.
One Of our farmers has just traded
with his 20.year old son to allow
him besides board, $4,000 per
month for his services as foreman.
He will have enough, money Of his
own to allow him to dress as wellas
the town dead heads, can use the
family automobile forsocial purposes
and will therefore not feel like a
rube when he ventures into town.
He will develop pride and ambition
and will stay where he has learned
his profession instead of looking for
a job in a dry goods store.
Fatherl If your boy is not worth
a salary to you. If you are not
making enough to afford him some
pleasure and liberty, you are not a
successful farmer, and both you and
the boy would be better off with a
job in town. At least don't keep him
with you and abuse the ambition
out of him.

FOOD SITUATION
CONSIDERED SERIOUS

Atlanta, Ga. Nov. The follow
ing report by w. J. Hannah, food
controller Of Canada. which has
Just been received by the United
States Food Administration is a
concise statement of an exact con-
dition just as it has found to exist:
Recent developments in Europe,
official correspondenceand the late
est crop estimates make it plain
that the world food situation
today is serious. beyond anything
we could see a few months ago.
Unless we are willing to make sac
rifices in our eating and vigorously
guard against waste of foodstuffs,
we may find the conclusive victory
of our armies endangered.
Reports Of the crops OF France
and italy show that we shall be
called upon to strain every effort
and to conserve every ounce Of food
to make up the shortage of our Al
lies. Temporary disaster has over
taken the Italian Army and it will
be necessary to support them to
the utmost by rushing food ship-
ments. The requirements of Great
Britain will be much larger than
they were last year. We must al
so insure the women and children
of France against terrible suffering
and make certain that the Allied
cause will not be weakened by
shortage of essential food supplies.
THE situation is grave today
and the time has come when the
people must realize that the Allied
Armies are depending on the conti-
nent Of North America to a far
greater extent than ever before. 1t
is within the power Of all of us to
effectively support the efforts of
our armies. The farmer has done
his part by harvesting a splendid
crop. Plans have been made for
greater production next year but
until the next harvest the only
means Of increasing the exportable
surplus of food is for the consumer
to do his duty. The fighting effici-
ency of the Allied forces will be
impaired unless the people awaken
to the seriousness of the food prob
lem. There rests upon us a ire
mendous responsibility perhaps
for the very issue of the war. "
The Lee County journal. (Leesburg, Ga.) 1904-19??, 1917-11-30


Now that harvest time is about
over. every farmer ought to begin
taking the stumps off his land,
Land that has the stumps removed
always sells for more than it costs
to remove them. besides it can be
cultivated so much easier. Farm la
Dor is scarce, therefore, it is to the
interest Of the farmer to get his land
in such shape that he can farm with
improved machinery -Teliair En-
ssrpriss.

Atlanta, Ga. DR.. f. A. Jacobson says
that Phosphates are just as essential to
any man or woman who tires easily,
is nervous, or irritable, worn out, or
looks haggard and pale to make astrong,
robust, vigorous healthy body, as they
are to cotton to make it grow The lack
of Phosphate is the cause of all enemic
