FARMERS RALLYiNG TO
WIN THE WAR QUICKLY
The Man Behind the Plow as Neces-
sary as the Man Behind
the Gun.

Since the dark ages the farnser-the
most peace-loving citizen-has been
the man who suffered most from war.
His crops, his everything, are usually
consumed by the invading armies.
But the farmer is a warrior when he
snce realizes that wag is the only thing
that will keep him free. Since thewar
was declared against the Central Pow
ers he has not had the same chance to
quickly grasp what it is all about
But now he is coming to a full
knowledge >of the barbarous enemy
with which we are at war.
Reports from the rural districts
throughout the Eighth Federal Re-
serve District indicate that the farm
ers are ready to assist in a-heavy sub
scription to the Third Liberty Loan,
which will be launched April 6.
We are now in the crucial year of
the war. Our boys are at the fropt,
hundreds of thousands of them in the
trenches and million more ready to
CO. The Treasury Department has the
whole burden of the war on, its
shoulders.
Every nickel and dime that can be
raked up and scraped together will
help Uncle Sam whip the Hun. Don't
think the money left in the sock or
other hiding places win help. It must
be put into Liberty Bonds. ~

The Farmers Called to Duty

To the Farmers of Mississippi:
Since our country is at war,
every man woman and child
composing this great nation is in
a sense a soldier. The farmers,
together with the members of
their families and their hired
help, constitute the food-pro-
ducing division of the nations
army, which is second to none
other in Importance.
Southern farmers, are asked to
produce enough food to supply
the needs of the South and
enough feed to take care of the
live stock. After this is done,
they are advised to plant all of
the cotton that they can properly
cultivate. This advice comes
from Secretary Houston of the
u. S. Department of Agriculture,
who sees the agricultural situa-
tion~of our whole country.
Let it not ODE said of the
farmers of Mississippi that thoy
failed to do their part in this
great world struggle for the
supremacy of right and justice.
If you have not thought ser
iously about your part in this
the greatest crisis in the history
of the world, do so TODAY; and
then act, animated by the same
quality of patriotism and unset
fish devotion to our common
country as animates those of our
own flesh and blood who on the
blood-soaked fields of heroic
France are at this very hour
facing with sublime courage and
unyielding determination the
fercest and most savage onS
slaught that was ever made by
human beings.
Let us count it our privilege to
do whatever seems necessary to
snatch victory from the barbR-
rous Hun.

Commissionerof Agriculture
and Commerce.
