There is probably no one of our COM
mon food crops that is in greater de-
mand and is receiving less at
tenLion than is the Irish or white"
potato, which We all agree to be uni
versa food crC for man. Certainly,
with the mere" sing demand and dou-
blcd increase .vcr that of the past
season, we cannot totally ignore the
fact that this valuable crop is gaining
in prominence but losing ground.
The simplicity, ease, and cost of
growing this crop under normal con-
ditions should not permit the neg
!cctful absence of it's abundance on
every Southern farm, as there are
few crops that are equally as prof
table and as easily grown as is the
Irish or white" potato. Therefore,
let's not be further neglectful, but,
not withstanding the fact of very high
prices of seed, begin Immediately the
planting of a Ia ger acreage than ever
before and pla. to work it according
ly. This crop should have been
planted during carly March, therefore
It is very neccy 'ary that it be planted
Immediately; Gevoting as much time

TIE CRISIS

Just how many crises this country
has faced since it became a republic
would take some time to enumeratc,
but it is certain that the United States
is now facing its greatest crisis since
the war between the sections.
The way she is meeting the situ2-
ton is exceed ngly gratifying. Tn"
greatest republic in the world, de-
voted to peace, she has accepted the
challenge of t." last great drspot,c
government, whose continued cX-
istcnce would h"catrn to wipe de-
mocracy from the face of the earth.
All of her vast resources of men,
money and ma -Eincry are being mo-
balized on scale that is almost
startling to think Of.
BY the thou ands men are Offering
their services and their money. All
industries and railroads have been
more completely organized than was
deemed possible.
In this prcat crisis we have demon

lines and even those boundaries be

imaginary. We have demonstrated
to ourselves az to the world that VIZ
are one in mini and heart.
