NOTICE From THE :.
AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
To Farmers, Bankers and Business
Men in the South.
Safety.

For nearly three years I have done
my best to warn you to prepare for
the present emergency. For years
we have tried to encourage diversifi-
cation in the South as b bisas for
greater safety, both agricultural and
economic. Since the war began in
Europe we have urged Safe Farming.
When prices were low you did well
and made great progress. When cot
ton went to eighteen cents and over
you made large profits because of
your progress in Safe Farming, but
some were tempted to go back to cot
ton. In common with many other
men, have tried to warn you Of that
danger. Cotton has not been high but
has only increased in somewhat less
proportion than food and feed
Now the Crisis is Here! This great
mighty struggle for liberty. People
without food and armies without ra-
tions are conquered before they can
begin to fight. Our greatest safety
now lies in Food Production and in
saving the waste products.
If the South is to be Strong she
must have Food. If this country is
to be Strong she must be we'll fed
and have an abundance to sustain
those friendly people who are even
now fighting our battles for liberty
and democracy.
Transportation may be disturbed.
Your own defense requires you to
Produce and Conserve your Food sup
ply. Don't Fail Now! 1t is a Ma
tional problem of defense as import
ant as men and guns, ships and can
non.
Business Men, if seed is short can
vass the situation like patriots and
get the seed for farmers. Arrange
the credits. Furnish farmers seed
corn, soy beans, cowpeas, velvet
beans, peanuts, sorghum, ETC., at cost.
See that all things necessary to help
farmers are done. OF course, we
must produce cotton, but with a mod
crate acreage and good season
there will be enough. Do not sacri-
flee acres Of Food to increase your
acreage in cotton. Look Ahead! Get
the warehouses, the feed mills, shell
lers, cleaning stations, creamcres,
packing plants, etc. ready. You must
do your share and cooperate with
farmers. They must do their share
and tend the crops faithfully.
Farmers, in your Unions, clubs and
other organizations, resolve toUse the
Best Methods now. When the Ma
tion faces crisis we must have the
best farming in it's history. Labor
is short, hence the best tools and all
labor-saving devices must be used to
make it possible for every farm lab
orer to cover as much ground as
possible and do the most efficient
work. Farm women and girls have
important work to do IN the garden,
the orchard, in raising poultry, and
especially in canning, preserving and
conserving our food supply.
Your County Agent and Home
Demonstration Agent become more
important officers now than ever be-
fore. Your State Extension Division

A WORD WITH WOMEN


Many a woman endures with noble
patience the daily misery of back
ache, pains about the hips, blue, ner-
vous spells, dizziness and bladder
disorders, hopeless of relief because
she doesn't know what Is the matter.
1t is not true that every pain in
the back or hips is trouble peculiar
to the sex" Often when the kidneys
get congested and inflamed, such
aches and pains follow.
In many cases there are bladder
annoyances, restless nights and a
dull, languid feeling. Help the weak
ened kidneys. Don't expect them to
get well alone.
Doan,s Kidney Pills have won the
praise of thosands of women They
are endorsed at home. Read this
Madison woman's convincing state
