PUT YOUR REASON ON THE JOB


We note in a circular letter written
by a firm Of grain dealers in st. Louis,
in which the writer takes issue with
the idea chat the United States is
near starvation. "He has no sympa-
thy with the absurd and unreasonable
food panic, which has beset the Amer
lean people," The writer further
states, "this is time for reasoning;
it is time for economy, but no one
is reasoning about things and no one
is, apparently, economizing"
We think the last sentence in the
above quotation covers the idea that
the effort that has been made to bring
the food question to the attention Of
the public, and especially in the South.
It is simply being asked to reason and
economic in the question Of food, 1t
is known to every we'll informed citi-
zen that we have largely depended on
others to furnish us our food supply.
The fact is, we have as competitors
for the surplus food Of the food-grow-
ing sections the hungry hordes of
Europe. 1t is not necessary for US to
face famine, or even short crops, but
to make it to the interest Of our peo-
pie to produce as near a food supply
as possible. We must, if we fail to do
so, buy in competition with those who
are facing famine conditions.
Ii this is not a situation to appeal
to reason, then we are unable to sug-
gest one that would. We grow crops
first that we may secure living and
secondly for profit. Then keep these
two ideas before you what crops are
likely to prove the most profitable.
With all the world active buyers and
millions of people with the usual sup
ply cut off, or greatly reduced, where
is likely to be the high prices and big
profts2 Agree, if you please, with
the writer above quoted, but the facts
stand out that the price Of foodstuff
is bound to be abnormalIy high. This
is not matter of speculation, but one
Of the things that stand out promi-
nently. Those who are advocating the
growing Of food do so because they
would have the producers Of the South
reap the profits instead Of contribut-
ing to those who are engaged in fur
nishing the food supply Of the world.
This is not cry Of, wolf, wolf,
where there is none, but simple fac
ing Of the facts as they are and en-
deavoring to use reason and intelli-
gence to the best possible advantage.
The appeal is to your reason and those
who are wise enough to accept it will
profit thereby.

COUNTY'S MISSIONARY
WORK FOR FOOD AND FEED

Mr.. Allan D. Sanford, Of Waco, in
Central Texas, has written his rela-
tives here in Covington that the splen-
did food and feed campaign Of our
Upton county people inspired the Tex
as people, and that the same kind of
work is being done there. Thus it can
be seen that what is being done here
is not only for our own benefit, but IS
having its influence where we least
expected it

 HOGS VERSUS SHEEP

HOGS VERSUS SHEEP
 Now comes my good friend, David B. Grace, a man who has long lived in Birmingham and one who keeps in touch with the questions of the day, with the following suggestion:
 "Your advice that we raise less Cain and more pigs is good in a general way, but faulty in particular. In view of the imminent shortage in food crops it is not advisable to raise hogs, for they are the competitors of men III food The hog eats corn, wheat, pota- toes. fruit, etc, which is the food Of man. It is good business to remove your competitor from the field and en- ioy a monopoly The saying that a man eats like a hog" has a double meaning. Sheep will make an accept able substitute for hogs. Sheep eat grass and bushes that man will not eat. They furnish us with both food and clothing. Sheep leave golden tracks. The objection to raising sheep in the past has been that they were killed by sheep-killing dogs, but the law now makes the owner of dog liable to the owner of sheep for any damage done by his dog
 All of which is good, but we are told the world is going to be short on wool and we are urged not to kill lambs and to even forego eating rams.
 x
 Now this is too big question to be settled in this column, and I'm not go- ing to try it. Just for the present l will rest the case by calling attention to the fact that the markets using this page are ready to furnish pork or lamb chops.
 For fear you may not get chance to eat them later, you had better go flown and lay in Sundays supply be- fore they are put on the forbidden list.
