FOOD CONSERVA-
TON AT RUTHVILLE

Ruthville, Nov. 13.-Prof. Fuqua,
our county superintendent, and At
torney King Webb, of Dresden, were
in town lest Saturday and dressed
a large crowd Saturday night at
Sawyers' schoolhouse on the Con
servation of Food" Many o. our
people signed the food pledge cards
thereby promising to eat 'e,s food
stuff of shipping Gaality and cat
more of that which cannot be shipped
that we may have something to send
to our soldier boys ir the army. TO
h3,c one meat'egs day or one flour
less day or one sugarless day in each
week would save in the United States
to be sent to the front millions of
dollars worth Of food which we would
never miss. 1t was brought out that
if every man, woman and child in
the United States would eat one bis
cult less each day, it would save
enough biscuit to cover a four-acre
lot ten feet deep, which would give
our army three square meals.
Our school is moving onward and
upward steadily-well organized and
well disciplined. Mrs. Georgia Muz-
FALL and Mrs. Brown are doing faith
full work and the attendance is fair
ly good.
The harvest is gathered here, the
cribs are full, while 'possum and ia
tiers, pumpkins and persimmons
abound. Irish potatoes, 81 per
bushel, corn $3.50 a barrel, shoe
strings five cents the pair and other
marketable products proportionate.
Livestock, horses and mules are go
ing at low prices; hogs, 16 cents
cattle, normal; sheep and goats, none
on the market; wheat, 1925 per
bushel; oats, 68 cents; rye, So; skunk
hides, none selhng-but plenty of
skunks!
Misses Mirtie. Harris, Esther Har-
ris, Ovella Moss, jim Milan and Joe
Harris went to Dresden Sunday af-
ternOon to see the boys leave for the
training camp. None of our nearby
boys were included in this call.
Ed. A. B. Ross filled his regular
appointments at Sandy Branch last
Saturday and Sunday. Large crowds
were present. e
A card addressed to J. O. Vincent,
Fulton, route 2 will bring him to
your home with several hundred mar

Our wholesale dealer informed us
last Friday that on Jan. l, 1918, and

GREATER FARM EFFICIENCY

In it's issue of Nov. 10, the Pro-
gressive Farmer had the following
to say editorially, and which is di-
rectly in line with an editorial ap-
pearing in the Enterprise three weeks
ago:
Last week, out of just one of the
larger counties of the South, 700
able-bodied young negroes left for
training camp, Out of the South's
ten million negroes, not less than
100000 will be taken by the draft,
and Of our white population proba-
bly, 100000 will be drawn. Thus
100000 young, vigorous workers will
be withdrawn from productive indus
tries. This means, because the South
is largely rural and agricultural, that
Southern agriculture is to lose a
heavy proportion Of its most eff
Gent labor.
But this is not all Within the
past twelve months probably not less
than half million negroes, attrac-
ted by high wages in the North, have
left the South. Many thousands of
our boys have voluntarily enlisted in
the army and navy, and they are still

sweethearts may not be subjected to
the outrages perpetrated by the hated
Germans upon the defenseless girls

What the Y. M. C. A. wants is a
free-will offering from every patri-
otto, loyal American citizen. The
stingy tight-wad Stacker is not ex-
pected to help in this holy cause.
The Y. M. C. A. is proposing to do
for our boys what it is impossible
for our government to do-lOok af-

of the American soldier, who, upon
his return home, will be the domi-

A DECLARATION.

Discussing a few days ago the
present campaign to raise in good,
rich, comfortably fixed Weakley
ceunty the insignificant sum of
$4,000 for the Y. NJ. C. A. army
work, we heard man, whom we de-
nominate a Stacker, complain that
be thought we were being called
upon for too many contributions
these days, intimating he was tired
Of giving,
We did not attempt to argue the
question with this tight-wad, who
is past the draft age and who is quite
well fixed in life. We hadn't the
patience to argue the question with
him, for we become intensely angry
and could not say what was in our
heart, lest our family not recognize
us when home was reached. Instead
ge bit our lip and walked away.
This man was tired Of giving his
dollars for the comfort and welfare
Of Weakley's noble sons, who have
gone out from home comforts and
loved ones to 60 down into the very
shadows Of death that we may re-
na1n as we are-freemen! He does
not care for the sacrifice the old
gYay-haired mothers and fathers and
tho wives are making in giving their
loved ones to fight this righteous
battle. He does not care for the
heartaches, the, anguish and the BIT
ter sorrow these have suffered, are
suffering and will continue to suf-
fer.
DO YOU wonder, then, that we call
MIN a Stacker?
Bat the attitude of this man serv-
ed a purpose-it made stronger and
more resolute the declaration this
writer had some time since made to
himself. That declaration was this;
That these mothers and fathers and
wives shall not be allowed to make
this sacrifice alone; that these no
bic boys, the very flower of our
land, shall not 90 to the field of car
mage and bloodshed without all the
support that within us lies to accord
them; that every farthing we pos
sess is theirs, for their sustenance,
their comfort, their welfare and their
encouragement; that if it is neces-
sary for us to live in want to the
end that the Y. NJ. c. A. and the
Red Cross and the Liberty Loans
NAV na provide the things needed for
our boys in the service, it shall UNI
complainingly be done-and then! if
every drop Of blood that courses
through our veins is required and
necessary TO save our freedom and
avenge that American blood already
smiled on the foreign battlefields by
the hated Teutons-it, too, shall be
givenl
Money! dollars and cents! What
do thew count for in comparison to
the sacrifices that many Of my neigh

going. Finally, industries of all
kinds are running at the highest
pitch ever known, and the wages
they are paying are still further de-
pleting our farm labor supply.
In the face of this labor shortage,
we are confronted with an urgent
need for not only maintaining crop
production, hut for actually increas-
ing it. For our fighting men must
he fed and clothed. Can the South
solve the problem? Can we, with
decreased labor supply, maintain and
increase our crop yields?
To dot, some radical changes are
necessary. Ineficiency in methods
and machines must be cast into the
scrap heap. With less human labor,
what we have must be made to count
to the utmost. What are some of
the ways in which this may be done?
]. Increase, rather than decrease
the acreage in cultivation. Labor is
scarce, but labor-saving machinery
must be used to take its place. Two
and three-horse breaking plows, or
tractors in some instances, and two
row cultivatOrs must be used to take
the place Of the man-power we have
hitherto used. Don't let the fields
lie out for lack of help; buy labor
saving machines and keep them
busy.
2. Make every acre do its best
This is a time for intensive effort
ON an extensive scale. Prices of
crops are double the normal and we
are justified in dOuh ling the ex-
pense, if necessary, Of making them.
Every possible pound of barnyard
manure should be saved and put on
the fields, and commercial fertiliz-
ers should be used heavily. These
are high-priced, but propOrtionately
they are not as high priced as the
crops we sell.
3. Take in the waste places.
This is time when every acre should
be required to render an account of
itself, and if it is a loafer it should
he put to work. Wet bottoms, hill
sides grown up in bushes and briers,
so-called pastures that grow no grass
these should all be reclaimed and
put to work without delay.
A. Use livestock to consume the
waste. The farmer without a good
flock Of hens to consume barnyard
waste, two or three sows to take care
Of the kitchen slop, and few cows
to take care of field waste that would
otherwise bring US no return-a
farm without these is not an eff
GENTLY managed farm.
The mettle of the Southern farmer
is to be tested. He must prove him
self efficient or be failure. Now,
while the rewards for efficiency are
greater than ever before, while our
country has need of efficiency as
never before, we simply cannot af-
ford not to measure up. 1t is our
great opportunity for service.
