CROPS CAN BE SAVED

"The souths cotton and corn can be saved. but only if every man and wom- an who can help does help" said Prof. c. l. Christie, assistant to the Secre- tary of Agriculture. The situation is the most serious in agricultural his tory. The south has not only planted more cotton than in normal years. but southern farmers have made heroic eff forts to help meet the food needs of the allied nations But unless the cot ton and corn is to rot in the fields the towns and cities must step for ward with workers to fill tine places of the tens of thousands of men in the army or in war industries. l believe this can re done. The department of agriculture. cooperating with other federal and state agencies will use every power and resource to make sure that these crops are harvested
 The federal farm help specialists from the southern states, who have met here to devise ways of assuring labor for the southern harvest, all reported the big crops growing in their territories and then told of measures being taken to assure help. All. em- phasized the ready and patriotic spirit of cooperation they have met among the town and city people.
