Wanted--A Billion
Bushels of Wheat.

AS agricultural program for the war, Ameri-
can farmers called upon to plan for the produc-
ton of a billion bushels of wheat within the COM
ing twelvemonth. That amount is considered es-
sential to insure the country against a serious
shortage of breadstuffs next summer. Whatever
surplus there may be in the oncoming harvest will
be hardly sufficient to offset the enormous deficit
with which we began the 1917 planting season, a
deficit that was worldwide. Conservative esti-
mates placed the supply of wheat, corn barley and
oats at a total of one hundred and thirty million
bushels less than the normal requirements of the
countries then open to trade, while the amount of
those cereals held on American farms March last
was seven hundred million bushels less than on
the same date OF the preceding year.
There is but way to meet own needs
and those of the nations with whom we are joined
in the fight freedom that is to produce the most
abundant grain harvests which labor ard skill can
bring FORTH not for one season only but for sue
cession of them. In this undertaking the South

this region has drawn so heavily on the West for
wheat and other grains well live stock feed
Under the national program Georgia is asked to
increase her acreage of winter wheat one hundred
per cent. This she do easily without
interfering with her production of other essential
crops It is to the interest of her own people no
less than those of the common country that this
be done, for in these times above all others the

prosperity That our planters measure up to
what is expected of them is shown by their hearen
ing success in food production this year. and that
they will do so their stanch patriotism leaves

A member of the legislature told few
days ago that he opposed the bill to exempt col
lege endowmeHts because the negroes and Cath
oIics would be benefited by it than all others
put together. This phase of the question
that we had not considered. Our convictions or
the subject came the result of Investigations
made in the interest of higher education and the
state In 1915 the state of Georgia spent more
than s443, 900 on the education Of 3,843 white
students an average of $115 each student. The
various white non-state colleges comforting differ
ent degrees, enrolled 1881 students during the
same period. Either these students would have
been deprived of a college education, or the state
would have had to spend more than $8S6,OOO in
stead of little more than $443,0O0 1t is there
fore to the interest of college education and the
state to exempt college endowments from taxation.
We give here some information with reference
IN the endowments of Catholic and negro colleges.
The Catholics have no endowed schools in Georgia.
The Marist college, in Atlanta is supported by the
Marist order and the funds collected In the
churches of the parish one Sunday in each month
The nupis in this school pay tuition. The Jesuit
ond the Dominican orders support schools in
other parts of the state in the same way. These
orders have no endowment funds invested in

dowment OF this amount SIS 900 in invested in
real estate located in Fulton and DeKalb counties,
which the proposed bill does not exempt from tax
alton. The remaining $500, 900 is controlled by
the Freedmans Aid society, which is located in
Cincinnati, Ohio, a state which exempts college
endowments from taxation. Clarke university,
Atlanta has $35 900 endowment, which is also in
vested in Ohio. The Sunday schools of the Meth
odist Episcopal church give about 100000 year
for the support of negro schools The Atlanta uni
versity has $115 740 endowment. OF this amount
$4,000 is invested in Atlanta real estate, which
the proposed bill does not except from taxation.
The remaining s97,74O is invested in states that
exempt college endowmerts from taxation. Spell
man seminary has S33.391 and Morehouse college
S21 900 endowment Both these endowments are
controlled by the Home Mission Society of the
North ard are invested in cities that exempt col
lege endowments from taxation.
1t will be seen from the foregoing facts, which
we have in our possession, that the proposed bill
will in no wise help Catholic negro colleges but
it will help young and young women to Sc
cure or college education, save the state vast
sums of money It's passage will in no wise vio-
late the principle of the separation of church and
state None of the denominations affected by the
bill desire union of church and state, but very
pronounced against it. For these reasons
favor the passage of the bill, to which we
originally opposed.

Burning Up Millions.

Carelessness on the part of individuals and on
the part of communities resulted last year in reduc
ing more than one hundred and sixty-eight million
dollars worth OF property to ashes-property that
represented the toll and thrift and enterprise of
long years. Now and then perhaps a fire is due
to some I'll gust of fortune which seemingly no
human pains or foresight could prevent. But such
ases are too rare to count in the general reckon
az The vast majority of fires are traceable to
tie needless, lazy improvident ways of men and
governments.
Between March. 1916. and June, 1917. for ex-
ample there we're four confiagrations in Southern
States, aggregating a loss of twenty-five million
dollars. all of which doubtless would have been
averted had the building laws and regulations of
the cities concerned embodied the plain princi-
pies of FIRE prevention In those four disasters as
in virtually every confagraton during the past If
teen years, the prevalence of single roofs was d-
rectIy responsible. Nashville. Augusta, Paris, Tex
and Atlanta have learned their lessons and proted
accordingly by adopting anti-shngle roof ordi-
nances. Every Southern city which has not yet
taken that precaution is counting calamity in the
delay.
Never before in the nations history has it beer
so highly important and imperative that communi-
ties and individuals alike take every possible safe
guard against fire waste. Engaged in
the most costly war Of all time and war in which
economic strength plays telling a part. must
do our utmost to conserve the nations wealth.
This applies particularly to stores of grain cotton
coal and other basic commodities. The annual fire
loss OF foodstufs and other staples essential to the
prosecution of the war has lowered high into the
millions. II is the part of patriotism as we'll as
seIfnterest to attack this problem with the
vigor Southern communities can render valuable
service by looking carefully to the storage of
cotton. Ordinarily during the crop-moving season
thousands OF bales dumped along streets or
near freight stations without regard to fire hazards
Thus a smokers match an engine spark some
times kindles heavy misfortune. Cotton is too
precious a thing nowadays to feed to flames and
so are foodstufs or wealth of any sort.

This follows:
I,S5O,OOO

On April 1. the National Guard totaled 167,3O7.
and July l. three months, had reached a foot
ing OF 3O3.579. Since that date volunteers have
swelIed the ranks to approximately full
strength. 100000. Fifteen Southern states April
1, had ASST National Guards and three months
later'the total so .234. The July figures should
swell the South's quota of Guards to we'll above
one hundred thousand men.
To have enrolled more than million volun-
teers for service without stress of legal pro-
cedure, and within period of three months, is
an achievement without parallel in the history of
nations. The fact that it gives a larger measure
OF approval to Mr.. wilson's policies than has been
vouched to any war president of the United States
is secondary to the Illuminating truth that true
Americans liberty-loving. patriotic to the

selective service law soon will cease to be booted
by even the most rabid malcontent because of the
unimpeachable loyalty of God-loving and hag-hon-
oring citizens.
The Journal is vastly proud of the spirit dis
played by the real manhood of Georgia in volun-
teer recruiting. We have no doubt but that the
same high ideal will obtain among all honored
by their country in the first nationwide call of
men to selective army service.
