FOOD: OUR ANSWER

In the midst of his address here
Wednesday afternoon Dr. Soule told
Of the answer Herbert Hoover gave

desk when he received the call from
across the ocean, he dictated a mes
sage which went back Immediately
saying: "Tle wheat will come
Standing before the largest gather
Ing of eager, patriotic citizens Of
Crisp county and this section that
has gathered in the court house in ma
ny seasons, DR.. Soule called Off great
er food crops and the saving of more
two hours of his strong appeal went
out determined to plant and grow
more food crops as well as save more
of 1t at home, They pledged il there
and then for they were brought face
to face with the necessity Of it,
Nobody went away from that meet
ing with the idea that this is some
body else's war Nobody sat through
it that did not realize the need OF the
increased food crops, but it is indeed
true that the great crowd there had
doubtless not single hearer who
knew as well as does DR.. Soule that
this is vital need.
He had his hearers from the start
and they again manifested as strong
patriotism as ever citizens of Gcor-
gia could The set faces and listening
attitude revealed that the whole adj
dress was taken in with right spirit
and a strongly developing patriotism.
Our answer was given in the spirit
with which we received Dr., Soule' S
message He praised south Georgia,
but when another season is gone, he
will have greater cause to praise this
section. Great determination is writ

More meat, more corn, more potatoes
more syrup, peas, peanuts, beans and
fruits are coming out of this section
as result
Hoover told England she could gel
the seventy-five million bushels Of
wheat and England is getting it, We
here and now pledge to Georgia d
greater food supply from our fields
and farms and our stock pens, and
Georgia is going to get it,
Dr. Soule's call leaves but the one
way open for us More food must be
made More of it must be saved. We
are to feed ourselves and hundred

war is over and then even more time
till they can grow something All the
allied world is dependent upon us and
we must work without regard TO cost
