PIA NTIN(; TIME,

The time for planting crops is here,
but little has been done in the way
OF field and garden work. The wea-
ther and the scarcity OF labor have
contributed to this unfortunate stu
alton. But there should be no such
thought rs despairing Of making the
best and largest crops we have ever
made. Our own interests demand it,
and aside from that the welfare OF
the country at large is at stake. The
west. 1t is said. will be able to feed
tnc army. BIZ, the South draws an
nually from the West millions OF
bushels OF corn. wheat. oats. II the
Vests products so to maintain the
army, where are we going to turn for
our supplies? The logical answer is,
To onr own fields. which are year
after y"nr sadly neglected. The
South can treble it's yield OF food pro-
duets and feed supplies if ii Will. 1t
is going to take work - brain work
and Drawn work to accomplish the
desired end. But the South is equal
20 the task ii we will but get at it,
Every available acre OF land should
be planted. with the one end in view
OF provisioning our country and hay
ing surplus to meet the needs of
others.
Our country i going to can on
thousands 10 defend her rights, and
thousands OF young men are going
to answer that call There may be
other calls. and as the calls come for
those OF maturcr years we must be
ready to NEE, it. But we must all
begin serving nOw--ir not in the
ranks OF military or naval activities,
then to the limit Of our eXcrtions in
the ranks OF the active producers OF
the things that will be needed to
maintain both tn" military and civil
ian population OF our country. l'ni-
versal preparedness in all lines will
mean shortening Of the duration OF
military activities. Our nation has
never yet failed or even faltcrcd he
fore any situation. She will neither
fail or faltcr In the present crisis.
Let each do his part. and do it to the
full-wilingly. gladly. patriotically.
Let our watrhwOrd be "Scrvicc," and
let us serve with all our might, whe-
ther that service be at the guns or
with plow, spade or hoe. Each has
its important place in the program OF
O-uay.
