enough yesterday to offer this observa-

terview with a man who knew that his
income for 1917 was Somewhere

an income tax. While willing and
anxious to settle his obligations with

Plant Tobacco Lands to Wheat.
To the Editor Of The Star

To the Editor of The Star
Being a minister of the Gospel, the
Book from which 1 preach requires me
to stir up the minds of the people by
way of remembrance. In these days of
enforced conservation, when we have
meatless, wheatless, heatless days. etc,
/ it seems a pity for the labor of thou
sands of hands and the produce of a
million acres to be steadily going up
in smoke"
From reliable authority we have it
that more than a million acres of Amer
ica's land is being used to grow to-
bacco.
If there be any question as. to whether
or not tobacco is harmful, the decision
is that it may do some good; but it GER
.tainly does much harm, and is in many
cases a curse.
/ realize that l am striking a sensi-
tive spot, but with a possible (and
probable) food famine not very far
ahead of us, why not let these million
or more of acres be given over to that
maintenance of life. This would mean
some millions of bushels of wheat to
feed the hungry of our own land and
our allied armies as well.
This will hurt great many people
but doesn't it seem that a measure Of
this kind should be adopted tel..po.i.-
rily, at least, as a war measure and as a
further patriotic conservation. if moth
ing else?
