1t is the contention of the state, he
said, not that Johnson actually fired
the shot that ended the life of Walter

FARM PROSPERITY
is H0ME: Made
Can Be Continued indefinitely Tn
South If Farmers Do Their Part,
Says Hastings

Atlanta, Ga.-tSpecial THAT the
! present wave Of farm prosperity" in
! the South is home made" and can be
continued indefinitely is the interest
| ing statement made recently by II.
G. Hastings, President of both the
Southeastern Fair Association and the
Georgia Chamber Of Commerce. Mr..
Hastings said: "Unthinking people are
very apt TO attribute the present wave
OF farm prosperity in the South to the
present high price Of cotton rather
| than to its real cause"
Naturally, the high price has helped
a great deal, but the real reason for
the money being in the farmers DocK-
ct or bank is that when the 1917 cot
ton crop was made the farmer owned
it instead Of owing it to supply mer-
chant at the end OF the season, as was
usually the case in times past Never
before had the farmers of the South
come as close to feeding themselves,
their families and their live stock
from their own acres as in 1917. They
had need of few store purchases AL
made few or no debts
IF the 1917 crop had been made on
the old basis Of plant all cotton and
buy all food ut present prices there
would be supply merchant prosperity.
but little or none on the FARMS"
Naturally, the temptation is great
to increase Gotten acreage and de-
crease food and grain acreage in 1913.
The masa who does it is foolish. The
whole world is short of food and this
condition viii not only continue but
get worse rs long as the war lasts.
Continued high prices for food is as GER
tain as sunrise each morning"
Real mOney-in-hand farm prosper.
ity is absolutely dependent on the
growing on ones own acres Of ali the
food, meat, grain and forage needed
for home needs Once that is progid-
ed for, every other available acre
can safely be planted in cotton or otHer
cash crop. The larger part Of the cost
of making cotton CT otheS cash croD is
in the food grain and forage consum-
ed in making it.
These items home made can be
produced at from one-lhird TO one.
half the price the merchant charges
and home production Of them means
Just that much reduction in the cost
Of making the cash crop.
Farm prosperity in the South can
and will be permanent just as long as
our farmers continue their farm opep
atoms on home made basis"

Want More Recruits

HDouble and redOuble your

Drive home the fact that it's mot
your bit, but your utmost, that
is going to win this war;" is the
message of Major John d. Yost,
Recruiting Officer for the Mime
sofa District to Recruiting Com
mittees throughout the state.
Major YOst relies largely on the
press Of the state, to keep recruit
ing at a lively pace the year
around. Following his attend
ance at the recent meeting of the
Northern Minnesota Editorial as
ISOLATION, he said, "disloyalty and
sedition, will be entirely stamped
out of Minnesota, by the attitude
Of the newspapers throughout
the state, if by no other means.
A more loyal or patriotic gather
ing of the Fourth Estate" than
that at Fergus Falls, cannot be
imagined and / consider every
newspaperman in the state an ac-
tual, and an active, recruiter for
the United States Army
Minnesota has not yet filled its
allotted quota of volunteers for
the Regular Army, and a most
vigorous campaign is being car
ried on under the direction OF
Major Yost, with the assistance
of Civilian Recruiting Commit
tees, to make up the deficit, and
keep the state up in the hundred
per cent column. Each state in
the Union is expected to furnish
one man per month, per thousand
of population. Several states
have filled that quota, but great
MANY have fallen away below it.
The plan Of Major Yost is to
organize Recruiting Committees
in practically every town in the
state. and have the Minnesota Dis
trict set the pace for every re,
cruiting district in the country.
