Quoting in cooperation with the United
States department of agriculture

them to undertake. No one is asked
to do the impossible, but everyone is
asked to increase acre yields wherev-
er possible.
Farmers are signing pledge sheets
which list the crops on which they ex-
pect to increase. Food and feed crops
are the ones wanted. When a farmer
signs he gets red, white and blue
honor card to place in a conspicuous
position. This honor card stimulates
him to do the things he has promised
to do, and shows his neighbors that he
is with our government in the winning
of the war.

tunity for war service.

FOOD is PARAMOUNT.

Food production in generous guam
titles is the great national desideratum
in this country today. The quantity
and quality of clothing materials may
vary considerably without serious dis
comfort, but a sufheieney Of food is
an absolute necessity every day in the
year. The American people must eat,
likewise those allied with them in the
war, or disaster is inevitable. A week
ly news letter compiled by the depart
ment of agriculture has this sugges-
ton to southern farmers:
The price of cotton should be no
indueement to farmers to neglect or
decrease the production of food. On
the contrary, the price of food should
especially induce farmers to safeguard
food and feed first, as pointed out last
month. The banks in the south are
full of money, it is true, but that mon
ey is going out pretty fast during the
spring for products which could be
produced in the south, and by that very
fact is drawing very heavily upon the
food stores of the nation. A bale of
cotton at $3.50 would not buy any more
at the present time in terms of corn,
hay, meat, meal, flour and other gen.
eral food produces than it would have
bought when it was $50 bale. The
farmer who decides to grow nothing
but cotton and buy his food will find
himself not richer, but poorer
That it is not the purpose to antag
onize cotton growing, but to empha-
size the greater Importance Of food
crops, appears further on, as follows:
The department is not discouraging
the production Of cotton. When the
living has been amply provided for and
I'VE have enough to assure food for
burelves and food for our sock, the

ptton as can be well tended with his
