BERMUDA IN FOOD CRUSADE
Government OF island Colony Urges
Farmer Not 30 Rely Further on
imported Supplies.

United States Consul Carl II. Loop,
az Hamilton, says: The department
OF agriculture Of Bermuda has issued
a leatlet for general distribution
throughout the colony, urging on the,
farmers the necessity OF growing largert
quantities Of food for home consump-
ton. II says In part;
1.-THE government Is most anxious
that farmers and others realize the,
Importance under present conditions of
increasing local food supplies. This.
high prices OF imported foodstuffs,
which are likely to be still further I'M
creased In the future, add very great
ly to the cost OF living, and at the
present time II Is patriotic duty for
all TO do their utmost 20 insure the
practice OF economy Ia every depart
ment of life.
Heretofore the farmers OF the coli
ony have depended too much on im-
ported and too little on homegrown
foods. The present aim Of every farm
er should be to produce an much food
for his family and live stock an he can
grow with economy. and TO have q sur
plus to sell. by 80 doing he can great
ly reduce his own cost OF living and
at the same time lessen the colony's de
pendence on imported foods. The higt
cost OF imported foodstuffs should In
grease the demand for local grown
foods, and q market would seem 4
be assured, especially for potatoes
both Irish and sweet, and piga."

And every word its drdor flung

At midnight through the startled skies.
And there WGs tumult in the air,
The ffe's shTiH note, the drums loud beat,

The answering tread of hurrying feet,
