NATIONAL DEFENSE AND
 THE PROBLEM OF FOOD
RailrO~d Manager Urges Farmers to Lend Assistance During Crisis
 Now Confronting Country

B. F. Bush of St. Louis, receiver of the Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain Railways, has issued the lowing statement, in regard to the great food crisis now confronting this country
 ''In the great crisis which now confronts our country no more signal service can be rendered than by farm CTS of the country in a united and earnest effort to raise enough food products for the United States and her allies. This is equally as impor- tant as recruiting a large army or manning a more extensive navy. It is as true nov as when Marcus Cato proclaimed to the Romans that you cannot make speeches to the belly" for the stomach cannot be lulled with fair words.
 "The nation in time of war, is en- titled from every man, rich and poor to such service as may be required, subject to the limitations imposed by age or sickness.
 With reported slump of more than fifty million bushels of Winter wheat, as compared with last years crop as recently reported by the Government, our country is brought face to face with the first serious question of the war feeding problem.
 ''To meet the increased demands for food products, caused by the war, additional preparation would not be necessary were 1t not for the present decrease in the wheat crop, but on account of such decrease, the ques- ton of supplying the food necessary for the fighting men presents a ser ious problem which the farmers of our country must help to solve.
 ''The government anxious to profit by conditions which have been pre- sented in Europe, has appealed through teh Secretary of Agriculture, for an increase in the food crops necessary to feed our own people, and those across the seas who must rely upon the American farmers.
 'fhe present war and natural cos ditons have resulted in a scarcity of food products throughout the whole world, and regardless of the inereas- ed remuneration which the condition

DEATH CLAIMS BABE

The death angel visited the home of Jim Young Tuesday night at 1:30 and took their sweet little Velma, aged four months. It's little face no more on earth we will see, but let us strive to meet t on the other shore where death comes to part no more.
 Let us not mourn for little Velma for it has only gone to sleep, to sleep the peaceful slumber till the morning breaks eternal bright and fair, then we shall see our little one.

guarantees for such products it is apparent that every farmer should bend every effort to increase the acreage and yield of all kinds of food stuffs by obtaining the neces- sary feed, labor and implements to do so.
 Where the spring wheat crops are found to be impracticable, the land should be utilized for oats, bar ley or other substituted crops for which the soil is adapted, and too many acres of forage crops, beans, peas, cannot be produced to meet the increased demands that will be made upon the Middle west.
 "The large army of able-bodied men, too old to fight, can do their part by preparations to help feed the men who fight.
 ''In addition to the crops of corn and wheat, thousands of acres of navy beans end similar crops that have the maximum amount of nutri- ton to the hunderd pounds should be raised All kinds of foodstuffs that car be profitably canned or dried or prepared for ocean transportation should be prepared in order that our soldiers and those of our allies can be provided with a varied and whole some diet
 With such men at the head of the United States Board as Hon. Herbert C. Hoover, of the Council of Nation al Defense, our Country will have the satisfaction of knowing that the problem which baffled Europe on the supply and price of food products will be met and properly solved in this country with the stimulus and pa- triotism with which the farmers of our country will respond to the ap- peal of the general government.
 No compulsory tillage of the soil such as England was compelled to enact under the powers of the realm or defense Act in Ireland, will be in the United States.
 The transportation lines of the country are adapting all available revenue and every possible menas to be prepared to serve the country and general public as transportation agencies, and, through their service agricultural departments, they will render any assistance they can to the agricultural sections in order to meet the appeal of the United States of Agriculture.
 .'The men in the agricultural de- p(l tment of The Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain Railways will cooper ate with the farmers both individu- ally and through their organizations, in an effort to assist in bringing about an increase in the yield of the lands of this section"

PLANT BEANS AND
 PEAS IN THE CORN

Every farmer should plant velvet beans, soy beans, cowpeas or pea nuts in every acre of corn. They will help supply feed for the live stock and in an emergency can be used in part for food.
 The soy bean is valuable crop for the Arkansas farmer because it thrives during the hottest summer. It is we'll adapted to various types of soils and conditions and different varieties are successfully grown un- der the saem climate conditions as corn. The seed bed should be we'll prepared for the soy bean and it can be- sown up until July l.
