Last year we wsged in this county
and others of the south campaign for
increased food production, because
warning was sent out from Washington
that scarcity of foods was imminent.
Tie result was the growing of more
corn. peas, mOlasses, hogs, and other
food crops than this country has seen in
q half century. And its wisdom is seen
now when the limit Of buying lie fixed
on numerous commodities, however
willing we may be to pay thS price, or
however able. The crisis has come as
we were warned year ago. and now
danger for next year seems greater
than it was for this year and every in
dication is that we will mot be liable to
buy as much food next year as we have
been this year. We Ihave grown into
the habit of selling our cotton and buy
ing:our foods and feeds, but the warn
ing comes to US now that the south
must feed herself in 1919 or do with
out. The surplus food and feeds from
other sections must now go to our armies
and our allies, and our cotton money.

A good farmer from the eighth dis
trict who owns several hundred acres
of land talked to US Saturday COM
mending our recent editorials on the
idle negro proposition. This farmer
had seen several negroes who have no
employment and are known to idle
away their days on the streets, and
when he offered them work they turned
his offer down instsnter, giving no con-
sideration to accepting job at good
wage. 1t is high time steps were
taken to force such idlers, both black
and white, to go to work.

This inquirer lives in western coun-

University Of Tennessee, Knoxville, and
he received this reply,
The idea of growing corn, Irish pot

unless 1t be as regarding the Irish po-
totoes. Potatoes will not likely be as
valuable crop rs the other two. tho
IL they are handled properly they will
