Where Labor is Scarce

When labor is scarce, another
thought should influence farmers in
balancing the cotton acreage with a
liberal supply of food acreage. A care
full examination of large number of
records in Alabama shows that the
farmers in the south end of the State,
with the highest degree of diversified
tion, and the least proportion Of cot
ton acreage, produce the largest crop
value per plow, practically doubling
amount produced per plow in the north
end of the State, where the proportion
of cotton acreage was the highest.
In West Texas and Oklahoma
In all this program where we have
used corn and hay, this means adapt
ed crops in west Texas and Oklahoma,
the grain sorghums for grain, and for
hay sorghums, sudan grass, etc. Last
year the peanut crop produced well
under drought conditions In the South
west. 1t should receive careful atten-
tion again this year.
County agents have been furnished
with a plan for farmers to volunteer
to produce ample supplies Of food and
feed and to receive recognition cards
where they undertake this important
public service.

FOR THE SOUTHERN FARMER

The following suggestions are from
the Office of Extension Work IN the
South, United States Department Of
Agriculture:
The month of Auril is the critical
month of crop production in the South.
A very considerable campaign has
been conducted throughout the whole
South, looking to an increased food
production. There are certain very
important matters affecting the Ma
tion and the Nations interest in this
time of war to which southern farm
ers should give careful consideration.
In normal years before the war the
South annually imported hundreds of
millions of dollars worth of food and
feed which she could have produced
herself. Much Improvement has been
made along this line IN the past few
years, and the South is larger pro-
ducer Of her own food and feed than
ever before in her history. In the year
1918 we must produce generous
share of food and feed crops:
First. For local use, to insure an
adequate home supply, to relieve all
burdens upon other sections, to re-
lease supplies elsewhc9.. and to re-
duce to the lowest all burdens upon
transportation.
Second For marketing, to sustain
the civil population Of this country, to
keep our Army and Navy in full fight
'ng vigor, and to suppiement the de-
pleted resources of the nations as.
sociated with us IN the wal
This nation must feed it's own civil
population, II list maintain an army
and navy, and must help feed England,
France and Italy. A hungry people
can not fight. The surest way to lose
the war is for us to so plan our work
in this country as to leave those who
are fighting our battles in England,
France and Italy, go hungry this year.
will be called upon heavily fer these
uses. Will the South deliberately de-
eide to reduce it's food production and
therefore to call more heavily upon
supplies from the North, to take from
the supplies that ought to go abroad,
and also to place an extra burden up
on transportation to move food to the
South? No patti lotto man will de!:ber-
ately decide to bring about such re-
suit. The South must feed itself as
the greatest contribution toward the
winning Of the war.
The Transportation Problem
The transportation problem is a
most serious one. TO transport an
army CT 100000 requires 1874 ,180
railroad cars. TO fecG that army one
year requires 1,704,320 tens of focd,
which, at the rate Of 20 tons per car,
requires 85,216 cars. To feed the
horses and mules owned by the army
in this country enc; France now, with
out any increase, will require 1,545 ,296
tons Of hay and grain at an average Of
1000 pounds per car; this will require
96,624 cars, With the grand total cf a
little over 100000 carloads. In addi-
tion to this the following items should
be considered
1. Our army is to be increased i'm
mediately.
2. Our great shipbuilding program
involves the expenditure of $2,00O,-
100000, and transportation according
ly.
3. Fuel for the Navy and for mer-
chant ships, and for the Army.
