Germ. Propaganda Creates Shortage

Washington Nov. ALDERMAN
propaganda Is blamed by the food
administration for widespread re-
ports of shortage of salt, laundry blue
and matches. In announcing to-
night that there is more of these
commodities in the country than the
people can use, the food administra-
tion took occasion to warn house
wives against buying more than their
normal requirements beacuse heavy
purchasing causes severe local short
ages
"a temporary shortage in any
commodity can be cauesd in local
ity,' the announcement said, "if the
people in that locality make 23 to 80
times their normal purchases.
The buying drives on salt began
in New York week ago and spread
rs. far as Boston, Chicago and Cleve-
land, and stripped many retailers in
the East Of their entire stocks.

Plant More Wheat.
(Atlanta Constitlltion.) }

(AIlduCd
Every pound OF flour that is ship
ped from the wheat fields Of the West
to supply biscuits and bread for
Georgians means the diversion Of just
that much Of a necessary commodity
from it's proper course.
Every pound Of the Vests surplus
wheat ought to go to our war asso-
ciates, Or the people of sections which
cannot produce wheat.
Georgia can produce wheat; and
1t should not call upon the outside
world for pound Of it.
In timely communication, ap-
pearing In another column, G. ]. Ha-
den, former president OF the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce, and an ex-
tensive land owner Of this State, calls
upon every farmer in Georgia, upon
whose land wheat can be grown, to
make the most Of his opportunity
now TO plant sufficient wheat to at
least supply his own bread require
emnts fext year.
1t IA to be hoped that his advice
will be generally needed, because If
1t is not, and Georgia next year has
to'rely upon outside sources for it's
-four supply, there is grave danger
that many Georgia family will have
to go without wheat bread.
AS he points out. 1t Is not remote
possibility that by another winter the
Federal government will be issuing
bread> tickets. necessitated by the
scarcity Of wheat. A crop failure, or
even a partial failure, in the West
next year would render that extreme
almost inevitable-unless every sec
ton that can do so raises enough Of
the food staple to supply its own
needs.
There need be no shortage.in Geor-
gia If our potential resources are
fully utilized: If every owner Of
land will devote at least a portion Of
his acreage to wheat and then farm
it properly, not being contented with
a half or third Of yield, but sat
isfiGd with nothing short OF every
bushel that his land Is capable of
producing.

Dut the quality Of the seed planted is
one Of the most important factors, one
that is entirely within the control Of
the farmer. Weather conditions may

degree dependent upon the character
or the season; proper soil preparation
and subsequent civilizations will be
somewhat dependent upon the labor
supply; but good seed In abundance
can can always be had only for a little
extra effort. =
The other farmers seed corn may
be scarce, and high priced. This will
lorce many growers to plant seed of
inferior quality which results In a
poor stand and unthrifty' plants.
Farmer Knows What He's Getting.
Experiments have shown time and
again that home e-grown seed usually Is
the best seed to be had, Practical ex.
perience has proved that field select
ed seed, II properly stored, always is
better than crib.selected seed. Field
selection makes It possible for the
farmer to compare the individual
plants and make his selection from
those producing the most grain. 1t
1s true that he can select good-looking
ears from the crib, but he does no,
know whether they are produced by
high.yieldlng plants or low-yielding
plants, by early plants Or late plants
No definite idea whatsoever can be
had OF the previous productivity OF

which will be mailed to farmers urg-
ing them to SOW more wheat and to
raise more hogs this year on account
of the pcrilous economic conditions
which will face the South next year
II moro foodstufYs are not planted. .
Dear Sir: Il am sending you
card asking for your cooperation
with your government in service
that Is equally necessary with that Of
serving in tho trenches. and that is
to assist in increasing the food sup
ply Of the world in the growing OF at
least two acres Of wheat to the plow
and the raising Of at least one addi-
tional litter OF pigs more than you
have been doing In the post few
years. If you expect to have your
usual quantitysof -four bread for the
use Of your family and plantation,
you must grow 1t. The government
will not permit you to draw upon the
surplus supply OF the West. That is
going to feed our army and those Of
our allies.
There are fewer hogs in South
Carolina than there we're in 1915.
The meat supply Of the United States
and the world Is less than at any time
in the history Of the world, so far as
information Is recorded. A 200
pound hog will bring you as much rs
you used to receive for a .50O-pound
bale OF cotton. Remember that we
are asking you to only increase your
pork by raising the pigs from one
additional SOW. If every farmer win
comply with this modest request the
meat situation will be solved and the
requirements of our government met.
Could we ask you to 10 less?
These cards do not need to be
stamped. Fill them out, sign them
and mail and they will be delivered
without postage.
Yours very truly, i
