Coming Wheat Crop Far Short
of Worlds Requirements.
Corn and Other Food or Feed
Crops Must be Produced in
Larger Quantities if Suffer-
ing is to be Prevented-Bet-
ter Cultivation and Heavier
Fertilization Urged.

~ SeASssSOSeOe~
Raleigh-"The worldwide food nit
uation and their own individual inter
ests demand that the farmers OF North
Carolina plant during the approaching
season the largest acreage OF corn
and other food or feed crops In the
history of the State and that they give
such crops the best possible cultivation
and the heaviest possible fertilisa-
tion,"' declared State Food Admins
traitor Henry A. Page in an interview
with newspaper men today.
"The coming wheat crop viii supply
not more than half the normal needs
of the world, which must continue to
be largely supplied by this country
until the end OF the war and fer Q con-
siderable period beyond, This msa1s
that the demand for corn aAl etAec
grains for human consumDtio4 VII
be more than double during 1917. Z

"The transportation situation is
such that our farmers have no assu4.
ance Of being able to secure any foo1
or feed stuffs from any otAsr section
Of the country next Fall and tAsro-
after and if they do not produce sufft-
cient food and feed crops for this
section cur people liz all probability
will have to do without. A large pro
duction Of cotton Is desirable and
necessary ard no particular reduction
in the acreage of tobacco IL being urg.
ed, but any farmer will be foolish to
plant either tobacco or cotton to the
exclusion of sufficient food and feed
stuffs to run his own establishment
1 and to provide his part Of the surplus
: that will be required by the markets
in our cities, towns and Industrial
communities. r
Few people have the Imagination
It to conceive of the actual want An9
suffering which was prevented IN on

q creased production Of staple food anl

Office to the date OF the annual re-
port made to The Ottawa chapter OF
the Red Cross, November /, it had or.
ganzed and handled many and var
lous kinds of claims and information
for the benefit of men in tho service
and their families at home
Information concerning the cond.
ton Of soldiers in camp has been fur.
nished in twenty-five cases; regard.
ing casualties at the front, ten cases;
requests for furloughs for soldiers,
twenty-five cases, other forms Of help
and Inquiries concerning soldiers in
camp and overseas, fifty cases, and
they have serydd with information of
various and sundry character over
three hundred families of soldiers in
the service.
One Of the duties of this committee
under the Red Cross rules is to fur
nish legal davico and service to sol.
diors and their families and In this
respect the committee had handled
the following cases prior to Noyem.

claims for families of soldiers in the
service who were dependent upon
such soldiers in some measure for
support, over one hundred cases.
In addition to this the committee
through its legal advisor, Judge Mills,
has conducted and given counsel and
advice upon private legal matters Of
soldiers at the front or in camp and
their families at home.
The committee has further furnish
ed service to the civilian population

channels with the families and rela-

United States was at war and a num-
