WHAT THE SOUTH MUST DO
A safe farming program for u

A safe farming program for the
South should include:
First. A home garden for every
farm family and every town and
village family in the South, includ-
ing potatoes and cane or sorghum
for syrup, where possible, on every
farm.
Second. We should sustain the
production Of corn in the South, for
human food and feed for our live
stock.
Third. We should produce the
hey and forage crops necessary to
amply supply the live stock on the
farm for one year and an excess for
the sake Of safety and for city and
town consumption.
Fourth. We should have an in
crease of peanuts, soy beans, cow
peas and velvet beans for human
food as we'll as feed and forage.
Fifth. We ought to maintain and
increase our supply Of meat, eggs,
and milk.
Sixth. When the living has been
amply provided for and we have
enough to insure food for ourselves
and for our live stock. we should
grow as much for our allies as pos
sible.
Seventh. In 1918 every farmer
in the South ought to save all
possible waste products on the
farm: economic on time, labor and
seed. Save in harvesting time. Use
the hest implements and more horse
power and less hand power Sell ex-
cess products of the farm and pay
living expenses. A surplus of hogs.
eggs. poultry, SOY beans. peanuts
corn, or such other farm products
as are adapted to his locality, should
be produced for sale from the farm.
Eighth. High prices Of any one
farm product in this plan should
not tempt farmers, merchants or
bankers TO depart in practice or in
credit influence from safe and well
balanced husbandry.
A program of safe farming may
be worked out for every community
along the line of these suggestions.

To Members of Agricultural Club
Raising Pigs:
After you have secured your pig,
one of the first things TO consider
is a good house for it TO live in.
A pig must be properly housed, If
it is TO grow well and be profitable.
A pig poorly and improperly shelter
ei cannot be thrifty or healthy and
will not make the best and most &C.
onomical use of its food, conse-
quently, il will not gain in weight
as rapidly as one which has a good
house.
A good house must be:
1l Dry.
(2) Warm in Winter.
(3) Cool in Summer.
90 Light.
(5) Free from Dust and Drafts.
(6) Well Ventilated.
az Cheap in Construction.
am sending to you with this let
ter a copy of the circular Movable
Hog Houses" which will be of BEN
eft to you if studied carefully.
The A-shaped house shown on page
6 is an exceptionally good type and
ia economical and easy to build.
The house for your pig should
be located on a south slope, if pos
sible, and faced towards the south.
Such a location is drier, warm in
winter, lighter and more sanitary
than others. Do not place the house
too near other farm buildings, es-
pecially the horse and COW barns,
It is advisable to locate the house
in or connected with a pasture OF
some kindI Pasture is absolutely
necessary for economical pork pro-
duction. A pig fed in a dry lot on
dry feed alone will not make pork
cheaply.
Shade in the lot or pasture is
very necessary for your pig during
the summer months. Without it the
pig will suffer, and gain very slow
ly. Nothing is better for this than
the natural shade of trees, although
a shed, open on all sides, can be
used as a substitute. if necessary.
Do not depend upon the hog house
as a shade producer.
Remember that the better care
you take of your pig the more you
are doing to help lick" the Kaiser.
Uncle Sam needs the help of all
farm boys in producing more and
better hogs.
Very sincerely yours,
Robert f. Spence,
County Agent.

SUGAR SAVING
Because Of the present shortage
Of sugar IL is necessary for each per-
son TO reduce his consumption Of
sugar TO y pound per week. There
are so many sweet foods that may
be- used in place Of sugar that this
should be no hardship.
Cut out candy.
Use less sugar in tea and coffee
and substitute other sweetening
wherever possible.
Try cooking breakfast cereals
with chopped figs dates or raisins.
You will not need 10 add any sugar
a; the table.
Use molasses. honey, corn. or 9TH
er sirups for sweetening.
Get Government pamphlet giving
directions for making sirup from
apples and other fruits. Try apple
sirup and concentrated cider.
Use fresh fruits for desserts in
place Of rich pastries and sweet
puddings.
Bake apples or pears with lit
tie water for several hours until a
rich sirup forms. n more sweet
ening is desired add a little honey
or mOlasses.
Stew dried prunes in the water
in which they were soaked until
the liquid is almost boiled away.
II more juice is wanted add water
20 the sirup. The long. slow cook
ing is necessary 10 develop rich
flavor.
Cut down the use Of cake.
Do not use frosting unless you
can make il without sugar. Either
honey or maple sirup can he sub
sttuted for sugar in boiled frost
ing.
When cake is made il should be
not only wheat-saving. but sugar
saving and fat-saving. Try max
ing cakes in which corn meal. corn
flour, rye flour, potato flour. rice
flour. or cornstarch is substituted
for part Of the wheat flour.
Use corn sirup. molasses. and 9TH
er sirups for part or all OF the su-
gar.
A good working rule in making
each substitution is 10 use one cup
OF sirup as equivalent 10 one cup
OF sugar and one-fourth cup Of
liquid. Corn sirup does not sweeten
as much as molasses or honey.

PROSPERITY IS

Gary Declares Way Is Open
to Splendid Business
Development
(By Associated Press


| New York, Nov. BE. H. Gary,
today warned the American people to
/ be on their guard against economic
decentralization, depression, and posi-
bly, panics," which might accompany
readjustments after world war
In a statement issued just before
he left for Washington to confer with
: the war industries board regarding
steps necessary to return the steel
trade to a peace basis. Mr.. Gary
I cautioned the public to exercise
prudence deliberation and courage"
as much depends upon the attitude
and the speech Of men" He added
that ut was easy to precipitate feel
ing of decentralization and no more
difficult TO develop a sentiment Of
confidence and serenity"
Asserting that although there would
be reduction in purchase for mill
tary purposes which might interrupt
the conduct OF general business, Mr..
Gary asserted that there would still
l,be "a normal and certain volume OF
business"
Any attempt to secure more than
a proper share of this business, he
said, would impede rather than accel-
crate prosperity, so that I'VE must all
trim sails in accordance with the
drift and amount of business"
IF all business men recognize con-
6itions and conduct their different
lines so as to adjust the questions OF
supply and demand on Il legitimate
basis, all will be benefited and may
look forward with confidence" said
Mr. Gary. Upon a careful survey
az the situation, 1t will be found there
are many reasons for believing pros
perity in this country should be con-
tinued. The United States is rich
est of all countries. If industry Is
protected and fostered in accordance
with it's merits, the war burdens sure

"And, Judging the future by the
experience Of the last few years, there
a disposition on the part OF those in
authority to assist rather than to at
tack business efforts. There will be

shown in relation to the needs and
requests Of enterprise and investment.
LEGISLATION and administration will be

ficieucies mad requirements Both
capital and labor will be protected

Incorporation will be seen on every

agement with government supervision
OF financing and elimination of the
National Association Of Railway util-
ity commissioners, a body Of state
representatives.
Chairman Daniels expressed doubt
that the present government manage
ment without ownership could be con-
tinued satisfactorily in peace times.
With restoration OF private manage
ment, he said, competitive waste
should be eliminated by perpetuating
the railroads administrations plan
for curtailing unnecessary passenger
train schedules on parallel roads and
hauling freight over the shortest
routes, regardless Of it's origin. Ter
minal equipment facilities should be
used in common regional consolida-
ton Of parallel and competing lines
should be worked out, and government
and regional tribunals should be au-
thorized to pass on proposed railroad
security issues to determine the nee
