WORLD SCARCITY
OF FOOD-STUFFS
IS LESSON HERE

(From Manufacturers Record)
Whether there be war or peace be-
tween this country and Germany
whether war be continued in Europe
for another year or two, or whether
peace should come, the demand for
foodstuffs will exceed the supply, both
in this country and abroad. The
shortage in the worlds food crops last
year, taken in connection with condi-
lions created by the war, brings us
nearer to a famine situation in food
stuffs than the world has known in
this generation. If the crops of this
country should by unfavorable weather
conditions or by lessened acreage, be
short of a full average yield, we would
have almost famine conditions, because
we will go into the next crop practic-
ally barren of food supplies
Nothing less than bumper crop Of
grain will save us from exorbitantly
| high prices for wheat and corn next
winter. 1t is important that the whole
country should understand this situa-
ton. but it is doubly important that the
farmers of the South should under
stand it and plant the largest acreage
in grain which they have ever had in
order to save themselves from having
to pay the highest prices they have
ever paid for their foodstuffs.
Every business man in the South
should do all in his power to urge up
o, Southern farmers the planting Of
grain and the raising of foodstuffs OF
all kinds this spring and summer.
1t is hardly possible to predict what
may happen to cotton. The price, judg-
ed by the worlds demand, ought to be
high, but in view of the uncertainties
of conditions here and elsewhere, a
large cotton crop might prove mis-
fortune by forcing prices below a fair
profit.
The South might raise too big COT
ton crop for its own prosperity, but II
cannot raise too big a grain crop, nor
too much live stock. Every available
acre should be put into the raising 81
foodstuffs, into grain, into vegetables
potatoes, and as much attention as pos
sible should be given to livestock, anc
even to the raising of chickens and tc
dairying, for the purpose of meeting
the home demand for foodstufrs.
1t will be almost crime for any
Southern farmer not to provide during
the coming spring and summer for al
the foodstuffs which his family viii
need for the next twelve months. Any
thine short of that would be ignoring
every condition which this country an'
the whole world confronts in the lacL
of foodstuffs, and in the certainty o
high prices. Business men, state gov
ernments and the national government
lowe it to the farmers and to the wei
fare ow the country to stress thes'
points with all possible emphasis. Tt

co OPERATION Of PEOPLE
ASKED BY M0ULTRIE MAN
From Moultrie Observer

The Observer is always glad to give
space for reports of almost any length
of the death of citizen of the county,
provided the story is sent in promptly
after the death occurs. Where the
family or friends of the deceased have
thought enough of the local newspa-
per to report the death while it IS
news of interest, we are also willing
tC furnish space for memorials or res
olutions relating to the deceased, pro-
vided always it is original matter.
The Observer not infrequently
learns for the first time of the death
of some man, woman, or child thru
the arrival of lengthy memorial ar
ticle several weeks after the death
We generally publish these, too, but
We do it with feeling of reluctance.
Those who do not care enough about
publicity to report the death of a
member of the family or of a friend
while it is yet news, ought not to ask
for space for memorial notices.
We speak of this here not to offend
any one. or to bring our troubles be-
fore those not responsible for them
but merely that there might be an
understanding of our position by our
readers. Give us the report of the
death as soon as you can get it TO

Look at the shorthand mysteries that

WAR OR PEACE!

There is a misconception OF the
present status of relations between the
United states and Germany. Some say
why choose war? There is no choice
remaining for the United States. The
only way out is war, and there can be
no peace where one nation has already
begun wicked war on another.
So, the pacifists of the United
states have no ground to stand upon in
Guerying the nation of their desire for
WARRIOR it is here, without their will
or wish. A referendum on whether we
shall have storm-after it has come,
is absurd.
The Manufacturers Record has a
strong editorial on the situation, say
ing:
War has already been made upon us,
our people have been murdered. our
protests go unheeded, our flag has been
driven from the sea.
Is that peace, Or is it war?
From the ocean depths come the
cries of innocent children, of helpless
women murdered in cold blood, to the
men of America and ask: Shall 9TH
ers die as we have died, because you
have lost your manhood"
Shall your children, your wives, your
aged mothers be murdered and their
bodies fed to the sharks because Amer
lean men are no longer ready to de-
fend their women, their flag, their lib
critics?
Were you sired by the men who laid
the foundation of civil and religious
liberty in this fair land?
Are you worthy to inherit so glor-
ious a trust, so matchless country, il
you permit your loved ones, who have
looked to American manhood for pro-
lection, to die by the hand of The
worlds greatest murderer, and you lift
no strong arm to defend them?
Are you willing to sell your nation S
honor and to see civilization destroyed
and the blacklist pages in all human
history record the downfall of Amer
lea. because its people needed not the
call of duty?
Do you stand beside Woodrow VIII
son, your president, to uphold his
hands; or,
Do you put yourself with that small
number whose presence is disgrace
to the halls of congress, a very stencil
in the nostrils of decency, a putriG,
fostering sore?
Are you ready to be counted with
this crowd, who should be spurned by
every honest man, ostracized forev, r
by all true men who should henceforth
count it an unspeakable disgrace even
to speak to such traitors to their coun-
try and to humanity?

Dawson, Ca, March "a, 1917

Dawson, Ca, March "a, 1917.
Editor Times-Recorder:
The new conditions have made it alb
solutely necessary that farmers plant
winter crops as well as summer crops.
This cannot be successfully done I'M
less every man controls his stock and
keeps them off of his neighbor. In
nearly every community there are still
a few thoughtless or careless people
who follow the old plan of making his
neighbors feed his stock for him. The
time has come when men cannot and
will not tolerate this any longer. Every
good man wants the good will of his
neighbors therefore does not want to
take up stock and make them pay dam
ages, nor does he want to hurt them.
You can do the whole country a good
service by bringing this matter clearly
and forcibly to the attention of all and
thereby avoid strife and contention
anu oOAISlIhlCS DlOOuSllSu LII COull1uh-
tiles.
No man would think of going into his
friends field and taking his corn, co.,
ton or oats and yet he will send his
COWS and hogs after all these things
and seem to think nothing of it.
No lady would dare think of going in
to her neighbours gardens of vegetables
and flowers and destroying them and
yet some will send their chickens to do
this destructive work and think moth
ing of it. This fall nearly every good
farmer will have his fields full of food
stuffs such as velvet beans, peanuts,
corn, etc. The velvet beans should re-
main in the fields until after cold
weather in order that they may be
more easily gathered and if the
thoughtless turn stock out there is go

This we hope to avoid by clear
understanding before the trouble hap
