To the Teachers of Kentucky.
If one citizen of Kentucky is under
more obligations than another to lead
in every movement looking toward
the teaching of love of country and
reverence for our Institutions, it is
the teacher.
We are facing the most radical and
dangerous pehiod, not only of our ma
tional history but of the worlds his
tory. This world conflict must not
only be won for freedom and Demo-
cracy, but the generations coming on
must be taught and trained to pre-
serves and use this greater and more
far-reaching liberty that is to come to
the earth after Autocracy is eternally
crushed
| purpose that the whole system of
public education of the State of Ken
lucky shall be directed along the
lines of a systematic and voluntary
teaching of Democracy, and ! am ask
ing that every teacher in the State,
from the President of the University
to the teacher of the subdistrict
school, volunteer that every effort be
put forth during the school year 1913
10 to lay broad and deep and thor
oughly the foundation for the train
ing of our young people in true, right
eous citizenship.
The Government is Offering us
splendid opportunities to teach pa
triotism by doing, but the most ap-
pealing of these opportunities, from
an educational standpoint, is the OPP
portunity to invest in War Savings
Certificates. This not only enables
us to perform a patriotic service for
our boys at the Front who are pour
ing out their blood on the fields of
France, but enables us to teach Thrift
to the rising generation. Our chill
dren must learn thoroughly the les
sons of Industry and Thrift if they
would maintain the freedom won to
the world after such tremendous
cost and sacrifice as is now being
made on the Western Front | know
that every teacher will gladly volun-
teer to carry out this purpose; that

HOW THE SOUTH Is BEGINNING
TO FEED ITSELF

Washington-There used to be a
story about a southern farmer who
bought his beans in Boston, his fur
niture in Grand Rapids, his food in
Cincinnati and his feed in st. Louis,
and all he raised on his farm was a
pack of dogs, but that story, accord
ing to reports coming in every day to
the United States Department of Agri-
culture, is getting so far from the
truth that it hardly deserves a place
in the widest fiction.
For the South is beginning to feed
itself. More than that, it is beginning
to help feed other TNctiOns Of the
country. The South Is divOrcing it.
self from its dependence on the one
crop system. and is raising food and
feed as well as cotton in large quanti-
ties.
Furthermore-and what is Of i'm
mediate 1918 impOrtance-the South
by feeding itself is decreasing the
drain on the North and West and Is
releasing products OF those sections
to be shipped across the ocean as lib
erty food.
Hogs Where Hogs Never Grew Befor'
Here are some items that prove thu
evolution-almost the reyolutiOn-iI
southern agriculture:
Until four years ago not a singh
carload Of hogs was shipped from !
counties In southern Alabama. In tn
year that ended April !. 1918. the car
loads Of hogs shipped from the sam

tai value of these hogs is estimated to
be more than $4,OOO,00O Formerly
this section produced little except cot
ton. Now it is contributing to the
food supplies of the Nation. 1t is
raising peanuts, velvet beans, corn,
oats, and winter grazing crops and
has permanent pastures of Bermuda
grass and lespedeza. These forage
crops are transformed into pork by
the direct feeding route.
LcguminOus Crops Increasing
In the census year 1909 only 1850
acres were planted to velvet beans in
the South. Suddenly southern farm
ers discovered the effectiveness of this
plant as forage and feed for live stock
and in improving soil. In 1917 the
velvet bean crop covered 100000
acres, all in the South.
Soy beans grew on only 1929 acres
in 1909. but this crop advanced so rap
idly in appreciation that its area in
1917 was estimated at half a milton
acres. Cowpeas which have been
| planted in the South for many years
are estimated to have trebled in acre
age since 1909.
In North Carolina and Virginia the
area planted to peanuts remained
about the same as in 1909, but it has
increased six-fod in the Georgia
Florida-Alabama field and eight-fold
in Texas and adjoining States. The
total acreage reported for the census
year was below million. In 1917
it had expanded to more than three
and one-fourth millions.
The area of velvet and soy beans
and peanuts in 1909 was $4,000 acres
According to estimates of the Bureau
of Crop Estimates of the Department
of Agriculture, the total for 1917 was
( S,350,000 acres, mostly in the South
The acreage of these three legumes
has been multiplied b yten in eight
years and in the same time the area
of cOwpeas, the number of acres of
which has not been ascertained has
trebled.
Benefites to South
The significance of the change that
southern agriculture is undergoing
through the enormous expansion of
the acreage of these four legumes can
be expressed in important results
One is the improvement of soil
much in need of humus and nitrogen
both of which these crops supply
Animal feeds and forage are produced
