Dear Slrs;
Thought a picture of a few of
what's left of old ID Troop" nigh,
interest you. We are here on de-
tached service and expect to go across
the pond" any day to meet old
Fritz"
All the boys want to thank the la
dies of Pendleton for tho many kinu
deeds they have done for the boys.
We have good clothes and good quar-
ters and happier buncn you can't
find anywhere.
The boys are all in n hurry to get
back with our old buncn, for here
we have men from every state in the
union. Also we have qu;te lot of
drafted men in our bunch. That
doesn't make any hit ~ all with a
man who has .Voluntecrvu and it is
not right. Ii a man hasn't got ncrve
enough to enlist they ought not to
put them in with the boys who have.
There is 4 certain kind of spirit that
makes a man volunteer and when
they start to putting drafted men il.
with US they are going to break That
spirit.
We have had fine weather nere 50
far but all the boys th,r,.S there is
no place like tue dear old Let 'er
Buck town. That sure IS the truth,
for We have come a little ways ana
never have seen a place that looked
as good as dear old Oresv-,.
Wishing everybody most prosper

pounds. If we should cut last years
acreage 10 per cent. a normal yield
will give US an overproduction.
Cali the cotton we can make on 10
per cent. fewer acres" seems a wise
motto therefore; and of course the
acreage saved from cotton should
be put to growing food and feeds.
Another reason for making corn
is that no matter if cotton is high,
other things are also high and so
high that even with 80 cents a
pound for lint the farmer who grows
"all cotton 'and depends on it to
buy his bread and meat is not only
no better off than he was with IL
cent cotton, but is actually worse
off.
Another reason for growing corn
is that not only have prices gone
skyward but the South has learned
to make corn. A few years ago we
didn't know how to make it, and
with the methods we then used, it
would hardly have paid Us to pro

become merely food consumers that
it is absolutely impossible to have
an overproduction of food, and with
untoward conditions we might have
almost q. famine. In other words,
conditions are such that while cot
ton may continue high; all foods
are sure to continue high.
We ought to raise more corn, in
the second place, because there is
no indication that the cotton acre
age will be decreased, and it may
be considerably increased, whereas
we might even cut the acreage 10
per cent. and yet have overproduc-
ton. AS has been frequently point
ed out, the reason for last years
small crop was not a small acreage
but a low yield per acre-due to a
late spring and early fall, and other
unfavorabls conditions-so that our
average yield vas only 155 pounds
Of lint cotton per acre against a
previous ten-year average Of 1s1

And last but not least, we had
better grow plenty Of corn and
plenty Of food and feeds of all
kinds this year, because if we don't
grow it, we may not be able to get
it at all. And since the South can
feed itself, who can say it would
not serve US right if, with the
worlds warning in our ears, we
should prove ourselves both so fool
ish and so unpatriotic as to go "cot-

on the North and West to take
needed bread and meat from the
mouths of our soldiers and take
needed trains and cars from the ser
vice of the government and from

not to-.

The prudent farmer ought to

happens to cotton or cotton prod

may get along with old clothes, but
they are compelled to have food.
Consequently, if shipping becomes

have to give way to foodstuffs and
