endeavor to arouse in the people the
same sense of individual responsibility

time in the post revolutionary Of

ends, but for the very existence of
Russia" he declared. "The army in

Why should high priced potatoes.
onions, beans, corn meal and flour,
pork or mutton, poultry or eggs, honey
or milk, butter or cheese, fruits or veg
etables strike terror to the hearts of
Arizona farmers? One can see that for
those in Arizona who are not food pro-
ducers, being presented by their voca-
tons or other plausible causes, that
nigh food prices are a serious matter,
put Arizona farmers should have cause
for Thanksgiving.
The fact is that too many Arizona
farmers and ranchmen are leaving 9TH
ers to produce that which they should
produce themselves. The fact that some
counties in Arizona are not producing
more than 10 per cent Of the food con-
sumed in the county is no doubt cause
Tor the complaint rather than rejoicing
The condition is untenable in view of
the undisputed fact that there is not
county in the state that canont produce
not only the bulk of the food consumed
IN the county but a very large surplus
food supply.
The present agricultural gospel in
some southern states to grow what
you eat and grow cotton for a surplus"
is also applicable in parts of this state.
but we have range of possibilities
both in producing food for ourselves
and surplus agricultural products
which many other states find lacking.

eggs and poultry when they may pro-
duce them on their own places, with
their own labor and with home grown
feeds? Why should people living on
ranches capable of producing feed
crops complain of the high price of
cream, milk, butter and cheese which
originate on the Arizona farm, or
should be made to do, so? Is it not
incongruOus for farmers to be paying
exorbitant prices for pork and mutton,
when porker or more. or a small band
of sheep could be used for consuming
farm wastes or for cleaning up weeds :?
Would it not he well to consider. in
these days of high food prices, what
few stands of bees would do in honey
production from free bloom range of
alfalfa. sweet clover mesquite and a
host of other honey producing plants?
This is the year that every available
acre or tenth acre of garden or farm
ing land should be worked to the limit
All the energy which can be mustered
should be combined this year with
common sense and the latest principles
of scientific agriculture to produce
more food stuffs.
This is the year for the best pos
siblS care of the home orchard and the
garden and it should be a year of
canned fruits and vegetables, put up by
the cold pack method taught and prac-
tlced by the boys and girls clubs.
Even the town lot farmer is busy
this spring in the hopes of becoming a
vegetable producer, and there are great
possibilities in that direction. The ag-
riculturai extension service can cite
many one-fourth acre home gardens
producing over 500 worth of vege-
tables last year

From figures furnished by the de-
