SOUTHERN RAILWAY URGES
FARMERS TO PLANT MORE
FOODSTUFFS.
MUST Raise Sufficient for Their Own
consumption ond Should Have Sur
plus-Vast Quantities of Supplies
VIII be Required for European
Countries.


ticipation in the war against Germany
makes IT, more than ever important
that every Southern farmer shall pro-
duce the foods and feedstuffs needed
for the people and animals on his
farm and surplus for SALE" said
President Fairfax Harrison, of the
Southern Railway System, today.
Vast quantities of foods and forage
will be required for our own army and
navy and for our allies in Europe.
These requirements for carrying on
the war must be met, even though
our people at home have to be put on
short atoms. There is every reason
to believe that prices Of foods and
feedatuffs will be high, and while it is
the patriotic duty Of every Southern
farmer 10 produce not only enough to
supply himself but surplus for sale,
he will find it profitable to do 80. It
should he impossible to find a farm
anywhere in the South without n
home garden. The armies and no.
vies Of the United States and our al
lies will require large quantities Of
meats and the meat supply Of the
world is short. There is no part of
the United States in which meat can
be produced more profitably than in
the South, and every Southern farm
er should at once adopt the policy of
producing more than enough meat to
supply his own requirements. But
however high prices may go, he should
not yield to the temptation to sell
his breeding animals. 1t is safe to
predict that live stock prices will be
high for years to come and the farm
err who parts with breeding animals
now will be cutting off large future
profits.
Every movement for the encour-
agement Of the production Of food
crops and meats and for the plantine
of home gardens on every farm and
on vacant lots in tho cities and towns
should be encouraged. I know Of no
agency that can do more in this di.
rection than can the daily and week
ly newspapers Of the South They can
perform q patriotic duty Of the high
est value to the entire country, AMI
especially to the people Of our own
section, by impressing upon their
readers day after day and week after
week the supreme Importance of
overlooking no opportunity to in
crease the production of foods and
feedstuffs in the South. I am conf
dent that if every newspaper in the
South will carry in each issue a point
ed and vigorous editorial on this sub
ject our problem of feeding ourselves
and doing our share towards feeding
our army and navy and those Of our
allies will be solved"
