That has been shown In Germany and

We have been charged with the ire
mendous task of feeding our associ-
ates in this war, of maintaining pro-
duction on a scale that will meet our
actual needs and still leave enough
to fill the gap bteween Europes pro
duction and consumption. The only
solution is to reduce our own use Of
the foods most needed abroad. We
must employ substitutes for beef, pork
and mutton, wheat, sugar and fats.

We should ask Europe to bear ali Of

MONEY IN PEANUTS.

Under the head of From Cotton TO
Peanuts" the Moultrie Observer says:
THE experience farmers had with
their first trial Of peanuts as money
crop was go successful that it may be
expected that We will have a greater
peanut acreage this year and a small
er cotton acreage despite the we'll
known fact that cotton is now selling
for thIrty-one cents.
One farmer relates this: He
planted 125 acres IN cotton last year
and made sixtcn bales, the boil wee
VII having been especially active in
bis fields. He planted twelve acres
in peanuts, and from this crop sold
eight hundred dollars worth of pea
nuts and still has the hay from the
crop. AS a result he will plant 1875
acres In peanuts this year and twelve
acres in cotton"
This reminds US of the experience
of G. A. Cleft, young farmer liv-
ing near the line Of Tiff and Turner
counties. This year. from twelve
acres he sold $40 worth of peanuts,
an average Of $50 to the acre. He
had the hay as surplus crop.
Cotton, an all-the-year crop, which
requires heavy expenditures for labor
and considerable expense to market,
loses its attractions to the man who
can realize approximately 800 an
acre from peanuts-a crop much less
expensive and requiring one-third less
time TO mature.
The average farmer in the South
has been raising cotton since boy
hood; he knows, or thinks he knows,
every crook and turn, from the break
ing of the soil to knocking down ard
blowing in the stalks Peanuts are
new thing to him. He hears all the
good things that make them desirable
as crop and none of the dissdvant-
ages-until he undertakes to grow
them. Then he finds out the balance.
Because he knows how to grow and
market cotton and does not know how
to grow and market peanuts, he will
become discouraged at times, and need
a little boosting. But we venture the
assertion that within less time than
three years from now no man who has
undertaken peanuts es a money crop
and stuck to them persistently, using
ordinary Judgment and taking advice
of those experienced in planting, cul-
tivating and marketing, could be rer-
suaded to go back to cotton again.
There is a great delusion about
thirty-cent cotton. Compare it with
forty-cent bacon and see how much It
is worth-T4Ston Gazette.

GERMANY'S "PLACE IN THE SUN"

In the white, unquenchable light that beats upon
the bar Of human justice the United States and its allies
have taken their stand in support Of the simple princi-
PIE that no man or nation has the right to govern an
other by force, corruption or chicane. They reafarm
the essential equality Of all men and deny that any
agency ever gave any one man, nation, class, caste or
creed the right to deprive any peaceful and honest in
dividual Of his liberty to action or the fruits Of his toll.
Standing within this light the democratic allies in.
wife full and pitiless scrutiny Of their acts and motives
They demand that Germany stand forth also, conceal
ing nothing. masking nothing, of its motives and aims
But whereas the democracies have nothing to fear from
the fullest publicity, the greed for power and loot tina
has enslaved Germany and its allies to a bloodstained
oligarehy can never be gratihed in the light. The,

THEY DON'T WORK

A striking cartoon in the st. Louis Post-Dispatch,
reproduced in the Herald on Saturday, represents
Trotsky facing a German bayonet and hastily turning
the leaves of Karl Marx" in order to find counsel suited
to the occasion. Unfortunately he can't find it. Marx
was acute, but not sufficiently so to. provide for all con-
tingencies. And il Trotsky could find something APP
parently apropos one naturally assumes that the Ger
man bayonct would not admit its cogcncy.
This must be profoundly disllusioning to Trotsky,
Lenine and the other Bolshcvik leaders. None of the
principles to which they have devoted themselves to the
exclusion of everything else avail in the presence Of the
enemy. The theory that some day the proletariat of the
Teutonic empires and the rest Of the world must rise
does not seem exactly to fit the case. appropriation of
the capitalist as the natural conclusion of the social and
economic process fails to exercise its powerful enchant-
ment on the German spectators.
Even the advocates of general strikes and sabotage
and world remaking devices of that sort must see with
disrnny that they are apparently useful chiefly for
wrccking ones own country and not for opposing an
other. Denunciation of the bourgeosie for some occult
reason does not appear to have stopped or stayed the
advancing German columns. Even greater liberty in
the relation of the sexes, a cardinal principle since the
conmunis manifesto, plainly lacks military value. AS
for the theory Of the inevitable and absolutely uncom-
promisable class conflict, only to be ended by subjecting
one part of the population to another part, it seems to
lack real strategic significance.
1t is a great pity that artillery composed Of extracts
iron, ''Das kapital," guns forged out Of much talk
about internationalism and military principles derived
from Iassalle, Kautsky and others Of that school are
not effective against the invading enemy. If they were
Russia under her present leadership would be absolutely
unconquerable. AS things are, the country in a welter
of incompetency waits the hour when the enemy, after
satiating his appetite, deisns to grant peace.-Chicago
