The cutover lands of the South, now
in possession of lumbermen. if prop
erly cultivated and farmed. would
feed the nation, according to ]. Lewis
Thompson, lumberman and cattle
grower Of Houston. Tex, speaker At
the session of the Cutover Lands Con-
ference of the South, held in New Or
leans. A paper by Henry s. Graves,
chief forester of the federal Forestry
Service. was read by F. S. Bryant, Of
the Forestry Bureau and Clay Tall
man, commissioner general of the
Land Office, Department of the In
terror, spoke.
"The lumbermen Of the South" said
Mr. Thompson, "are the owners Of
enough barren land 10 build a new
world; they have in their possession
the potential makings of a vertitable
empire. The lands they hold, II prop
erly cleared fertilized, cultivated and
farmed, would feed the entire nation"
The lumbermen, Mr.. Thompson
said must develop these lands, build
up communities and encourage scien-
tific farming.
Plans and methods for utilizing ap-
proximately 1O0000,O00 acres of cut
over timber lands to increase the ma
tion's food supply were discussed
Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary
of agriculture, declared the farmers
Of the South must organize into an
army of food producers and said that
the federal government looks 10 the
South to do her bit" now.
AT this hour it is absolutely essen
tial that the South shall supply herself
with food and feed" Mr.. Vrooman
said. The South imports from the
North and West between 100000, 900
and 1000, 100000 worth of foodstufrs
This cannot continue. for the United
States must supply her allies with
food and in the face Of worldwide
food shortage, the South must, by sus
tanning herself, raise that amount o.
food for those who are fighting witt
us against autocracy and militarism.
