Herbert Hoover has made special
appeal to the farmers of the South to
plan some wheat. a plea to which they
were not formerly in position to res
nond. The war need is for the farmer
70 increase his production of corn and
meat, grow enough wheat for his own
consumption, this assuring self support
while planting his usual acreage of
cotton and otter staples In view Of
the restrictions upon TRANSPORTATION
and unavoidable decrease in agricul-
tural labor, the people in the cities,
towns and villages are asked to help out
by raising food upon every available
scrap of land. Mr. Parker impressed
the plea upon the federal inspectors
in charge of tick eradication work,
who convened. SATURDAY. and pledged
cooperation, and he added one of his
own for the home growing of feed for
livestock. and the increase of meat
and milk production by this. course
and by better breeding.
