A few of our street oracles are
decrying the movement TO encour-
agement aud promote the cultiva'
ton of more food stnff. For their
information we publish the follow
ing authentic figures, published in
The Macon Telegraph. based on a
population of 2, 100, 900 as showing
the needs Of the people OF Georgia
for the ensuing year, and theamount
raised by them during the past year.

Besides supplying food for 2, 700,-
600 people, the state of Georgia also
must supply food for 4,1S5,000
farm animals.
In view of the fact that this de-
ficiencY in the past has been supplied
by the north and west, and that for
he immediate future, there will be
such great demand from the allies
and from our standing army, we
cannot expect, even if we were
financially able to do so, to use our
time honored and accustomed smoke
house and commissionary in the
west.
The Encouragement of this move
ment is little more than unpa-
triotic. It is on a parity with the
refusal of the interned German
sailors tocultiyate garden in their
prison confines in order to, as much
as possible, deplete our stores of
provisions. If they, as they claim,
have already planted all their avail
able space in food products, then
let them encourage by every means
possible, their friends, tenants and
neighbOrs 10 their utmost. If they
can't join the fighting forces, they
can, at least, help in this move
ment.
