Grenada May 3.
To waste food in a time like this
| is criminal. The south viii have the
Nations finger pointed a. her with
scorn unless she stops the leaks. We
have lost men from the fields. The
great cry that goes up from the
world today is for men. They can.
not be created in a day or in year;
it takes long time to grow them.
We can sto p wastage in day. 1t
takes 2l- years to grow man.
We are callinng on the womanhood
of the nation to fill the gap Of the
vanishing men. Why should woman
hood sit at home and long for task
| that will do her bit to tighten the
world load of sorrow when oppor-
tunities are every where for doing
not little "bit" but big "bit" to
bring victory and to save humanity
from starving?
The first great lesson in conserva-
| ton of food for the farm woman is
to save the farm egg that is going
to waste by the millions. The money
loss alone is $5O,000,000 but today
we ask that you put away the Thought
of money and rate an egg IN the
i terms of life to suffering soldiers
| in the hospitals, to dying babes IN
Belgium, Shaving women in the fields
of France who need nourishment and
our own sick and suffering that are
thruout the land What is money
when human life is at stake!
| So much for an introduction and
now for the facts. In Grenada ter
ritory we are not doing out bit In
the production of eggs and after we
produce them we waste a big per
centage of them Let US take steps
to increase production and then an
other step to save the eggs that are
produced. The quickest returns IN
the world is to save that already pro
duced. The production OF the lnier-
| tile egg in the south, quick market
ling and q concentration OF eggs at
some good shipping point Will do the
work. Simple enough If every 1ei-
low will do his bit.
1t was suggested to promnene
Of Mississippi that candhng demon
stration be put OIL and An appeal be
made to the merchant buyers OF Mis-
! sissippi 10 buy eggs the loss off sys-
1 tenn as asfirst step toward food con-
1 seryation. His hands went into the
air and what he said was plenty.
Tn short he did not believe that Is
enough patriotism among the mer-
chants of Mississippi to make 1t
worth while to appeal to their pa
triotism.
The careless methods of buying ev-
ery egg that comes to town encour.
aces the farmer in the habit of
Infringing any old thing to town that
has shell on it. This custom must
go The Federal authorities are 60
mo TO see that we quit shipping rot
ron eggs from one state to anothef:
OF ms not be made to quit pao
nractice but resolve right now That
we viii volunteer to JOIN the iooo
savers brigade.
And here is the end of the story.
The Bureau of Chemistry OF the L.
s. Department of Agriculture mas
sent a representative into the. state
to begin campaign of education 20
helm the good work along. Grenada
Connty people will be afforded the
onnortunity of learning how to care
for their eggs and the merchants VIII
he taught how to ship them to mar
ket. That business man may be rignt.
| Possibly there has been too much IN
difference upon the part OF the mef-
camille world to enlist in the forward
movement to victory. Let us con
vince him otherwise and line up 1or
/ the biggest work that has ever oeeh
done in this country to increase pour
try production and to save the eggs
from waste.
The British Empire is considering
a bill to prevent a civilian from eat
ing an egg as long as the war ias.s:
Thousands are in the hospitals oi
France and England. These.woundea
men need the eggs more than
