time TO write an arSi Sicle urging the
farmers to plant heavily of sweet po-
tatocs. Ii the war continues for an
other year the production OF human
tood crops will be a serious problem
not only in tho South but throughout
the world. The Northwest has unnu-
ally been supplying the South with
hundreds OF millions Of dollars worth
of food necessities TO feed the people
Of the South. The enormous Quanti-
ties OF food that the United STATES
have been shipping TO Europe must
continue, and nyrdships arc inevitably
coming if the war continues six
months longer. There is no crop
grown in the South that will furnish
as much food value per acre or SO
chcaply as will the sweet potato. \

| as human food has practically doubled
| the food value Of dollars worth Of

moro food than two acres of corn and
more than four acres OF wheat in the
cotton belt.
sweet potatoes may be planted as
late as July and yield twice as muvh
human food as corn on land OF aver

crop that the South can now grow and
