In the afternoon they were Joined

The children had the run of every
room and they made the most of It,
Mrs. Wilson Monday distributed the
annual Christmas presents to the
children who live along the road to
the Presidents golf club. SEVENTY
five youngsters were made happy by
these remembrances.
Every one of the rs attaches and
employees of the White House from
Secretary Tumulty down, got a tur-

ticularly lends itself to relieving labor
conditions, has developed rapidly.
Every possible use should be made of
all these labor-saving devices.
TT Is important that our farmers,
in preparing to do their part in the
fight for increased foodstuffs. should
realize that any outlay for improve
ments and labor-saR1ng devices Is
not to meet a temporary wartime need.
America will be called upon for more
foodstuffs, not merely for the period
Of the war, but for years after peace is
declared.
AFTER the civil war, the South did
not recover her old productivity until
1880. 1t will be many years before
Europe will again produce her old
quota Of foodstuffs. and during that
time we must continue to supply her.
Home Garden Plan.
war Is wasteful of food and the
things that make fod. II we could
get a picture of central Europe today.
we would be astounded at the enor-
nous destruction in her herds of cattle,
sheep. hogs and draft animals. De-
creasing foodstuffs have forced the
slaughter of these animals. which can
not be quickly replaced after the war
"One of Americas great achieve
ments last year was in her extension
Of home gardens. These should be
kept up this year. They resulted in
a tremendous increase in our produc-
ton of garden stufrs and in the volume
Of foodstuffs preserved and dried and
put away for winter use. The De-
partment OF Agriculture, by arranging
in advance for containers for these
products. and by advising in regard
to these gardens. did q very great
service
THE department is now working on
the acreage OF various crops desirable
to plant this spring. Last fall the
department set a billion bushels OF
wheat and s3.Oo0O0O bushels Of rye as
the minimum crop desirable for 1O1S''
Houston believes the farmer will see,
In the difficulties ahead. only the more
reason for doing Them.
Food will win che war;" is one
Of the slogans Of food conservation.
But before food can be conserved II
must be produced, and Houston's job
is in inspiring the farmer to increased
efforts Of production.

America Plans to Feed
World After the War
David Houston, Secretary of Agriculture, Is
Guiding Spirit in Further Development of
Farm Lands in United States.

Because . thing Is difficult is no
reason for not doing It; instead. 1t
is all the more reason why II should
be done" President Eliot Of Harvard
College told David Franklin Houston
some 20 years ago.
This precept struck Houston's mind,
and he has attempted to guide him
self by 1t whenever he has struck a
difficult problem.
As a result Houston. now Secretary
Of Agriculture. finds himself impelled,
as he never was before, to see thaC
the United States. in 1918, produces
the bumper crops of history.
America War Center.
The crucial battle Of the war will
be fought in America, not In France.
America has become the vital supply
base for the allies civil population.
as well as their armies. Unless the
world battle for food Ii won in this
country, no battles can be won "over
there"
To the direction of the battle on the
farms, Houston and the great organI-
zation he heads are centering their
whole efforts.
Shortage Of labor. shortage of fer'
tilizers, high prices for farm supplies
and machinery. are all handicaps in
the fight" Houston says, but am
confident that the farmers OF the ma
tion. pulling together patriotically as
soldiers in the common cause, can
meet the situation. and that those re-
manning on the farms can produce
even more than has heretofore been
available.
That is the aim before US, and II
must be attained.
Drafts Eject On Labor.
New draft regulations will mean
that our farms will not be further de-
pleted Of skilled farm labor during
this next summer. Under these rules,
skilled farm workers fall under class
two. Estimates Indicate that class
one will be called for the next incre-
ment.
Last year there was great disloca-
ton Of labor because Of Industrial de-
mands, at high prices. and in the
midst OF the crop season the demand
for workers at the various canton
ment sites created serious local short
ages. This latter cause, OF course,
will not exist this year. but the de-
mand for workers in all lines will re-
main such as to make the labor sit
uation most important, and we are
giving 1t most persistent attention.
I'VE expect to organize forces OF
workers that can be moved to points
where the load is greatest during
periods OF planting and harvesting.
IF these efforts do not give suffi-
Cient men. we may call upon the 1900.
900 or more high school boys during
the spring and harvest season to lend
hand, even suspending school tenn
porarily II necessary.
Also, our State and county work
ers will seek to meet local labor con-
ditions by organizing the farmers
themselves, in each district, for more
perfect cooperation.
