RAISE WHEAT AND HOGS,
Saws Mr. David r Coker, Chairman of
the Council of Defense.


the Council of Defense.
Columbia, Sept 11:-An acre OF
wheat per each one-horse crop was
the policy endorsed by the State
council of defense at the Sumter
conference last week.
By resolution the farmers of the
State were urged to grow all the
live stock possible.
David R Coker, chairman of the
council of defense, discussing the
necessity for more hogs. said: l
have before me quotations of the
Baltimore market of Sd inst. t.quotlng
medium and heavy hogs 600 to 300
pounds in weight at 1855 to 1910,
live weight. If the farmers are 60
ing to raise hogs for the market,
they should form community clubs
and ship them in carload lots. They
should ship nothing except hogs
weighing ITS pounds and over, as
these always bring better.prices. |
shall be glad TO give complete infor-
nation to any farmers clubs wish
ing to ship hogs
The following utionwasadopt-
ed by the State council of defense:
whereas the secretary of agrl-
culture has advised that the wheat
acreage be increased 81 per cent in
order that the farmers of our State
may do their part in averting
world wheat shortage, therefore on
motion of the committee on produc-
ton and conservation of food stuffs,
be it resolved:
That the farmers of South Caro-
lima be and hereby are advised to
plant one acre of wheat per each one.
horse crop and that they be urged
to plant good lands and fertilize as
literally as circumstances will permit.
Belt resolved further, that,iu or
der to in some manner alleviate the
actual famine of meats and fats, the
South Carolina farmers be urged to
raise all the live stock possible, but
especially to increase their produc-
ton of hogs.
BE it resolved further that we
deprecate the killing of young and
immature live stock, and that we
urge that this practice be done away
with wherever possible.
BE it further resolved that the
South Carolina Live Stock Associa-
ton be requested to take up at its
approaching meeting the matter of
the shipment out of the State of
large numbers of young calves, and
to make a recommendation to the
State council of defense as to how
this practice can be stopped.
Resolved further that the com.
missary departments of the various
camps be requested to purchase food
products direct from the farmers
wherever possible"
