 The Federal Land Bank, by lower ing interest rates and arranging for long tme loans. relieves the farmer ot worry, and thus sharpens his mlnt and speeds up his physical energies.

The Springdale news., 1917-04-20

the past several months Prices of
 food stuff are now beyond reason, and we have only just declared war. The
 influence of the European war has
 touched every domestic hearthstone.
 It has brought prosperity to some, and ! the pinch of hunger to others. It brought us IS to 20 cent cotton last i Fall, and later on the food stuff soar ed so high that twenty-cent cotton
 begins to pale by contrast. Now that
 we have declared war, that we are at
 war, and party to the great world
 wide military struggle, what may we
 expect to follow? We all know what high prices mean. High prices mean
 scarcity. If the worlds supply gets
 scarce, what happens? Somebody
 goes hungry; somebody does with out, or everybody lives on less. Let us face the music, be men and meet the condition and discharge our obli- gation. Let Us act thoughtfully, con- servatively and intelligently. How? Here are some of the ways: =
 It's. Plant food and feed crops enough to supply all our needs and half as much more. Why? Because D per cent of the people live on the farm. If every farmer raised enough for his own needs, p per cent of our people would have to supply themsei- yes from elsewhere, and the food pro- ducts might not be easy to get. Then again, the crop season might be bad and the yield small. In that event the 50 per cent extra calculated upon will take care of the deficiency. If crops are good, the surplus will sell this year at good prices, for the world needs and must have food stuff and feed.
 2nd. Keep all female live stock and breed all that are suitable. With the price of meat so high 1t IS little 1 less than criminal to slaughter or ! sell for slaughter either milch COWS [ or brood sows. Everyone in eXis- tenee in the United States should be | the brood mares and breed them to horses. Don't raise mules Raise | horses, for only in that way can the breeding stock be kept up.
 3rd. Plant plenty of corn. It is the greatest farm product we have. It fills many needs and wants, and we can not produce surplus this year 1t is good for man or beast.
 4th Do not oyercrop yourself. Labor will be scarce. Every man who takes up arms lessens the labor. Don't make the misteake of planting more than you can cultivafsS Plant less, and if you have a surplus of Ia Dor you can work your crop better. and longer an and itnYrtage MT. Page Is advising farmers to cnpssrr.sA erafar,' 2t .,
 ,li l. Ill fHdhe d 05SSSt -ieia' This is common sense, ana md you should heed it From to 10 million dollars are lost in Ark ansas every year by farmers over ,ropping and underworking. De ,rease the acreage; increase the yield.
 9th. Plant good stuff. Get good seed The prices are going b be nigh and you can afford to buy good seed and raise the best
 9th. Get away from the crop mortgage and keep away from 1t. It Is neither your friend nor benefactor but only poor makeshift.
 7th Plant plenty of COW peas and goobers, both of which are good rfood, good for feed and good for the land.
 8th. Make plenty of hay and save it, for it is good and cheap feed

Authorized Statement of Carl Nroo-

Authorized Statement of Carl Nroo-
 man, Assistant Secretary of Agri
 culture:
 The responsibility for adequate food production lies with the individual cit izen Any planter or farmer who m this national crisis fails to put large percentage of his land in food crops is Iaking both in patriotism and in ncommoH prudence Me cannot win this war if we permit the boys at the front to supply all the self sacrifice Today the first duty of the South and nation is to get food. kE- cry loyal man, woman and child must shars ia this common burden and privilege.
 .ssf an myself a land ad=ewHer as vel as q public official, ana ] want to say personal word to the land owners of the South.
 All land owners in the South who live in the cites aud rent their lands to tenants, owe duty to theF country in this time of war necessity for foodstuffs. They should give their tenants every facility for grow ing not only supplies needed on their farms but also they should urge ev- cry tenant to grow a surplus of food crops. Local forces should be organ ized to furnish a market at reason i able prices for these food crops and thus insure profit on the crops pro- duced.
 Any land owner who by eXhorbi- tant rents or by pressure of any sort causes his tenants to plant on his 1 lands large crop of cotton at the | : ] ing his part and has signally failed to measure up to the requirements of a good citizen. l have said before and 1 say again that the South can and must feed herself, and this can only be done when our city land own CTS and those who control lands ac- lively support and use all their lntiu- ence to secure the production Of food.
 "Contracts for rents and for meth ods of cropping may already be made, but no land owner. true to hls coun- try. will stand in the way of the pro duetion of foodstutfs because ct sel- fish considerations. Even from the selfish financial point of view, to put all your land in cotton this year Is poor business judgment. h all Likelihood, food crops will be more m demand m the S0uth than even cut ton Much larger acreages must be devoted to corn, soy and velvet beans potatoes, forage, home gardens and this fall the grains, all of which is i'm possible if the land is in cotton.
 "The responsibility in this cris.s on the individual land owner is as great as upon the individual farmer, the individual banker, the individual mer- chant or the individual soldier in the trenches. If our nation is to exert her full might in her splendid crusade for democracy and liberty, the same invincble spirit of patriotism must animate Arkansas land owners anc all classes of our citizens. The time Is come for you to sign your pledges and do your best" for the South, fol the Nation, and for the successful termination of the war.
