PAGES WEEKLY LETTER.

l have spent the past ten days in the states of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee and have made a close observation and investigation into the agricultur- al conditions of that part of the South through which 1 have travelled. l have been deeply impressed with the fact that in only few sections or communities where I have been will there be enough of the food and feed products produced to supply the home demand unless there is far greater economy exerciser than heretofore. believe we will be able to produce e. nougn to supply the home demand in Arkansas, but I have serious doubts of such being the case in any other Southern state 1 have visited, unless it is the state of Tennessee. We have such varied resources in the South that it is a common boast in most Southern states that they could en- close themselves within a wall and live without assistance from the out side. This has been nothing but boast, however, and when each of our Southern States is actually thrown upon it's own resources, the true re- lation between boast and fact will be- come impressively serious. We may have to depend upon our own resourc- es and resourcefulness for existence during the war, but if we should there will be many lessons learned in the South. It has been intimated from a reliable governmental source that we will most likely have to de- pend upon ourselves for food and feed for the very plausible reason that the surplus of the grain belt will be diff cult to transport to the South for lack of cars and the excessive demand for transportation of men and war SUD- plies. We should begin to prepare for that day by using the greatest possible economy in the consumption of the supplies now on hand, and what we grow during the season. We should also strain ourselves to the last point in trying to raise the greatest ahount of food and feed stuff, and to conserve and keep it when pro. duced. The meat product is going to be short all over the country. We have a means of meeting this posit- ion by turning our attention aggress- ively to poultry and hogs. In short i time these two items of food stuff can te increased largely. The milch COW is another gIeat source from which to get food supply. One good COW will produce more in food value in a year than three big beef steers. The main route to success along these lines lies along feed lines An abund- ance of feed is essential. Hay is one of the cheapest and best supplement tary feeds. Sorghum and millet hay gre good emergency hay crops. Pea nuts, pumpkins, sweet potaeoes, tur- nips and COW peas furnish good feed crops. Winter oats, rye and wheat are good for pasture. We should try to raise enough wheat for bread next year. We should save all we can in cans and build potato houses in all the towns and thickly settled com- munitties to take care of all the po- tatoes grown.
 Let us all begin to save and to use good judgment in production. It will mean much to the people of our state and every patriotic man and woman should do his or her bit in exercising economy, frugality, energy and good 1 judgment.

HOMAGE RENDERED
FATHER OF AMERICA
THREE NATIONS BIND TIE OF
FRIENDSHIP At THE TOMB OF
GEORGE WASHINGTON.
Representatives Of England and France
Join with High Government
Officials IN Pilgrimage to
Mount Vernon.

Mount Vernon, Va.!The flags Of
Great Britain, France and the United
States f1Oated proudly together on
Sunday over the tomb Of George Wash
ington. Beneath them, spokesman Of
the three great democracies paid hOm-
age to Americas soldier and states
man, and pledged themselves each to
the other in the name Of the dead, to
prosecute the present mighty struggle
against autocracy on the lines he him
self had followed in bringing Ameri-
ca into being.
In groups Of twos and three, an emil
nent gathering including the members
OF the French and British war COM
missions, the presidents cabinet and
members of congress, had strolled up
through the sloping grounds from the
river bank until perhaps half a hun
dred people stood with barred heads in
"A semicircle before the tomb.
Without formality, Secretary Daniels
motioned to NJ. Viviani, minister Of
justice and former premier of France,
who advanced slowly into the center.
Before the tomb of Washington, whose
efforts towards liberty his own ances-
tors had gloriously aided, NJ. Viviani
delivered an address in which the
whole force Of his emotional power,
deepened by the significance and SOM
berness of the occasion, fought for
expression.
Then came forward Arthur James
Balfour, foreign secretary Of Great
Britain, who stood for a moment in
silence, TALL erect, kindly figure.
Overcome with all that the situation
meant in the lives OF the two great
Anglo-Saxon countries, Mr.. BalfOur
abandoned his decision not to speak
and gave expression to few poignant
sentences, evidently straight from the
heart. England has hOnOred Wash
ingtOn as she had never before, he
said.
Marshal Joffre, victor Of the Marne
and idol of the French people, spoke
two brief sentences:
"In the French army all veperate the
name and memory of Washington. l
respectfully salute here the great sol
dier and lay upon his tomb the palm
we offer our soldiers who have died
for their country"
