SOUTH SETTLES DOWN
TO RAISE MORE FOOD

WASHINGTON, April 2S.- Be
levers in agricultural preparedness
are signing in large mum ers
throughout the south a pledge bind
ing the signer TO do his part to in
crease the food supply of the coun-
try in order to provide for the
needs Of our army and our allies.
The pledge originated at the Mem
phis conference conducted by Carl
Vrooman, the assistant secretary of
agriculture.
Reports from the south indicate
that the enthusiasm for the work is
widespread and that formal meet
ings and speeches are followed by
informal conferences among farm
ers to settle on some one definite
thing 10 begin on at once. That the
south can produce much more food
than IL has been doing has been for
some years a cardinal principle
among agricultural leaders, but the
war has brought this truth home to
the people. They are now deter
mined TO produce not only enough
food for their own wants, but a sur
plus to aid in meeting the situation.
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1917-04-29

is destroying so much OF its best
manhood, the nation is under special
obligation to secure that the rising
generation grows up strong and
hardy, both in boy and character. IL
is necessary to guard not only
against immediate breakdown. but
also against the imposition of strains
that may stunt the future growth
and development
Here in America we must re-
member this at the start. In our
eagerness to do our bit we must not
forget the children. Those Of us who
have dedicated ourselves to the pro
lection Of these defenseless ones
must keep our heads clear and our
motives unmixed. determining that
whatever happens all other forms
of treasure, all other forms Of
wealth, all other methods of defense
shall be sacrificed before we compel
the children of America 10 pass
through the fire"

The movement is growing; but the
need far outruns the supply, and the

What is needed most IN all our
