Danger From Too Much Cotton
 Explained at Meeting Thursday
Farmers ot Jefferson Will Be Urged to Help Win War and Avoid Hunger by Growing More Food ad Feed

Plans for making the "Grow More Food and Feed" meeting here Thurs day one of the biggest gatherings of farmers and planters ever held in Ar kansas were put under way yesterday by County Agents Joel Lambert and jC. H. Thomas, and others interested in helping to win the war, prevent hunger in the South and increase the prosperity of this section.
 Letters will be sent out today to hundreds of men in this county, beg ging them to arrange to attend the meeting, to use their influence to have others do so, and to prepare to CO., operate in the movement to produce as much as possible of the food and feed that will be needed in this sec tion.
 Dr. Tait Butler, editor of the Pro- gressive Farmer, will be the principal speaker at the meeting here, which is to be held at the courthouse at 30 D. m., Thursday, February 2S. B. C.. Powell, chairman of the agricultural committee of the Arkansas Bankers association, and several other prom inent men from Little Rock, as well as two or three leading men of Jef- ferson county will also make talks. The situation that confronts the South will be clearly explained, and. the speakers will describe the danger that will threaten unless the South pro- duces food and feed in greater quan-a tity than ever before.
 Food Most Important.
 The United States department of agriculture, in urging increase in the acreage of spring wheat and the pro- duction of an increased supply of oth- CT food products and of live stock, especially hogs, says:
 "The situation is such that chief emphasis should be given to the pro- duction of the great staple food pro- ducts, with special stress on wheat and hogs, the leading war foods. It is believed that the necessary production can be secured through the use of the best-known farm mthods, but it may be necessary to small extent to sacrifice certain of the less impor- tant farm crops temporarily in the interest fothers which rank highest in importance as food for man. Above all, sound farm practice, including well-established crop rotations with le- gumes, should not be intarfered with, This is in the interest chiefly of crops in future years"
 The South is urged to provide food for it's own people and feed for its live stock and then to plant as much cotton as can well be cultivated and harvested. To raisers of hogs and beef animals the world need for meats and fats is made clear. Farmers are urged to join with the men on. the ranges in providing sheep whose wool is needed to equip soldiers.

 NATIONAL POLICY Secretary Wilson Addresses Represen- tatiyes of Makers of War Material
 and Those of American Fed- -.' eration of Labor.

Washington, Feb. 25.-Meeting at q call of the government, representa- lives of capital and labor began con- ferences here today to reach an ar rangement designed to prevent strikes and to assure a maximum production during the war of materials necessary to maintain the American armies n France. Each side is represented by five men, who will choose two more to represent tn general public. The representatives of capital were nam ed by the National Industrial Con- ference board. and those of labor by the American Federation of Labor.
 At the first meeting today, the com- mittee organized and heard Secretary Wilson outline the purposes of the conference. On the basis of an agree ment to be reached, the government will lay down a national labor policy for the duratiin of the war and will if necessary to enforce it, seek legis- lation to give proper authority.
 No sort of agreement, even if back ed by legal authority, can prevent en- tirely labor unrest and some strikes in the opinion of Secretary Wilson. Sec retary Wilson belives that no differ ences now existing between employ CTS and employees are so wide that the conference cannot settle them. One problem expected to be hard to solve, is that of the open or closed shop.9.
 The,conferees represent some 10000 manufacturing plants, working on government contracts, and more than 100000 union workers.
