food has become so ~ngltated by those
who have n knowledge of what II
means In the preservation Of life, who
have made a study OF the food condi'
lions, and the requirements OF the
country. that II Is beginning to arouse
the entire nation. The economist
whose duty Il In to study the output
and compnre II with the consumption,
sees n rapidly creeping up OF one on
the other, and. when the appetite Oh
consumption gets n Roadway on the
output, where will the nation BET II
Is time the people were aroused, for
there Is danger ahead unless the In
telllgence OF the people Is awakened to
the facts. The crop Of 1917 Will be
less thnn an average one, md see the
work Il has TO perform. II has TO
feed the man producing II, and he In
OF less efficiency today than II year
ago. His strength has been reduced
by the drawing away Of the thousands
from the farms, who are now In the
rnnks OF the consumer instead OF In that
Of the producer. There II an Inverse
ratio here that can only be under
stood when confronted with the ap-
pnlllng figures presented by those In
charge Of the conservation work. The
army has to be fed, dependents cared
for, the navy has to have provisions,
and we cannot sit Idly by and see the
women and children OF the countries
across the sea starve. There IL such
n great cnll for active participation In
the matter OF providing food, that
those who are left ut home In charge
Of this work have II responsibility
plnced upon them fully as great as has
the man at the front who has gone out
10 protect the homes, the snnctlty ana
the honor Of those who are left behind.
The producer should think only OF
this; there should be economy, not
only OF labor. Every acre of avail
able land should be producing. Ad'
vantage should be taken Of every day
light hour. 1t must not be Il case OF
how much can we make. II must be
n case OF flight" with those who have
gone overseas, but In our way, fight to
win the war. Where that spirit per
vndes will be found the spirit OF the
