County Farm Organization
Important

Washington, D. c., March 21.-In the
campaign to make the 1918 food pro-
duction in the southern states sufficient
to feed the South, the United States De-
partment of Agriculture recommends
that cooperation among farmers and
farmers organizations and business men
be stimulated.
In every county where there is no or
ganization, the department says, the peo-
pie should be urged to perfect repre-
sentative county body for agricultural
purposes. This county organization
should consist, if possible, of representa-
tives from community organizations and
should meet regularly with the county
agent, and definitely work with him in
the interest of general food production
and conservation. They should aid un-
der the leadership Of the county agent
and through the county and community
organizations in the effort to maintain
production, to preserve the interests of
forts of the scouts especially toward the
people who seem to be doubtful about
buying.

American willingness to Give Up

BY Reducing Consumption People ef
the United States Averted Z
Famine At Home In Spite
Of Low Supplies.

The fact that the people Of the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption Of sugar proves conclu-
sively that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as a whole stood ready to fol-
low the injunctions Of the Government.
Our normal consumption Of sugar in
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month.
a total Of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach its height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only 325,O0O tons went into dis
tribution and in September only 279,-
600 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons.
II the general public had failed to
observe the injunctions of the Food
Administration this country would
have been In the throes of a sugar
famine before the end of August. Our
visible supplies were SO low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
It would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to a point where
sugar would no longer be a mere lux.
ury in the American diet
Few accomplishments OF the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre-.
dominantly as this reduced consump
ton Of sugar. BY 1t we have been able
to bridge over the period of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops were in sight
Now the nation is in a position 20
that II we choose we may return to
our normal home use Of sugar, and
Europe, with the release of ships to 60
far afield, can maintain its recent re-
stricted rations. If, however, those
nations are to increase their use Of
sugar very considerably it must be by
our continued sharing with them
through limiting our own consump-
ton.
