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-produc-
ing 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
us. Department of Agriculture.
who sees the agriculture situa-
ton of our whole country. -
Let it not be said of the farm
ers of Mississippi that they fail
ed to do their part in this great
world struggle for the supremacy
| of right and justice.
If you have not thought serious
ly 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 un-
selfish devotion to our common
country as animates those of our
own flesh and blood-soaked
fields of heroic France are at
this very hour facing with sub
lime courage and unyielding de-
termination the fiercest and
most savage onslaught that was
ever made by human beings.
Let us count it our privilege to
do whatever seems necessary to
snatch victory from the barbar-
ious Hun.

Commissioner of Agriculture
and Commerce.

THINGS WORTH NEEDING.

l, The South did not produce
enough fooG to feed herself last
year.
2. Mississippi did not produce
enough rood to feed herself last
year.
3. The number of producers
have been reduced on the farms
by the army draft.
ala. The balance is far in favor
of the consumer.
5. Since the producers have
been reduced in number, and
consumption has increased, is
will take heroic effort on your
part to hold off a food shortage
that will be a little less than a
calamity.
6. Are you sure that you have
planned to plant enough corn and
other food crops to supply your
own needs and some for our
soldiers?
Z. Have you foolShly yleldeu
to the cotton craze and turned a
deaf ear to the earnest cry OF
the boys lover there?"
8. 1t is late, but you still have
time to reconsider and plant a
few more acres in corn, and a
few less in cotton.

Rev. Wayne Alliston was a
Brandon visitor Saturday, hav-
ing come up from Florence for
a few hours stay with relatives
and friends here. Mr.. Alliston
has decided that it would be
best for him to remain with his
work at Fort Worth, Texas, and
will therefore not come back to
this county, as he planned to do.
He has built up one of the best
churches in the thriving Texas
city, and is doing a great work
for the Master among the
soldier boys, and he feels that
he should continue with them.
On April 6, the citizens of
Bethel community assembled at

On next Saturday night, April
18th, they are to have another
meeting to further organize the
Society, and to report on the

FLORENCE DEPARTMENT.

On Monday, April lSt, under
the call of Mr.. J. Daniel, the
man appointed by the authority
to organize Rankin County and
select a Council of Defense for
the county, the citizens met at
the county seat in Brandon, and
proceeded at once to organize
the entire county by beats and
districts into a Council of De-
tense. Maj. Pat Henry was
made chairman for the county
of the organization at large. No
better man could have been put
into such an important position.
With Maj. Henry at the head,
something is going to be done.
The chairman of Beat One is the
member of the board of super
visors from this beat. Get W. E.
Laird stirred up on any question
of public good you have a man
right" This beat now looks to
it's chairman to speak the word,
to give the command, and what
he says do must be done. Much
depends upon you, Nh. Chair
man, to push forward without
delay, the object of the Beat
Council of Defense. Time is
precious now. 1t is rather late
for such work to accomplish
what could be done and would
be done if the Council had it
been organized earlier. But it
is not too late to do much that
can be yet done. Food crops can
be planted in this section from
now until October, and yield a
good harvest before frost in the
fall. If the precinct chairman
and the school district chairman
will bestir themselves. making
a little sacrifice of their time,
and go right among their people,
their neighbors, and talk of the
vast Importance of each man
with the "plow and the hoe" in
this great drive for food, a vast
deal can be accomplished. Each
and every farm thus appealed to,
doing but a little more than he
ordinarily did heretofore lean
produce an astonishing amount
when results are summed up IN
end. Just 10 bushels more per
man on the farm all over the
corn raising sections will count
up into the millions of bushels,
Don't you believe it? Our good
President and his right bower,
Mr.. Hoover, looking after the
food supply of the entire country
knew well and better than we
do here at this distance from
Washington and from the seat
of war in Europe. about the
great necessity for the big drive
for food crops, whether we fan
mers understand the matter ana
appreciate the situation OF
whether we do not, it is we'll
and sufficient that we heed the
requests of these eminently
knowing men and official farm
ers. don't be so self conferred .as

raising of more corn than vol
had done before, just to put in 9
