commerce in FL Paso relative to the
lack OF water in the Rio Grande for

Dear Mr.. Harding:
The extensive use

ARXM for planting last year
kWH$82IHM LNoved of eXtren.e
MEEllHEAM Importance in in.
gUAHk@V creasing the national
AWS~ZHW food supply.
Even with the car
shortage which has
developed during the last three
months and the total inability to move
the large reserves of potatoes anu
beans, we have been saved from posi-
tive shortages throughout the country,
largely by virtue of the accumulated
household stores which are the results
OF home endeavor.
The food situation Of the world
must steadily degenerate as long as
the war lasts. 1t is, therefore, OF
prime Importance to add every item
to the total production. Furthermore
our oyertaxed railways, which must
continue to be overtaXed during the
whole course of the war will be great
ly relieved if we have larger area
of gardens planted than last season.
1t seems to me that the experience
of last season indicates that aside
from a moderate planting of perish
able vegetables for immediate use,
the substantial part OF such gardens
should be developed to potatoes and
beans. These two commodities can
be raised in practically all sections Of
the United States, are of ,he utmost
value from a food point of view, and
have the great advantage that they
can be preserved in the household
without artificial treatment.
In the Southen States particularly
we need the farmer to realize that if
he can increase his production Of corn
and meat, and wherever possible
some wheat as we'll as his produC-
tion of cotton, he will not only be in
creasing our national supply of food
but will render the South self-sus tai!
ing in its foodstuffs; he will be feed
ing his own family and help; he will
be contributing to make the South in
dependent in foodstuffs; he will have
enormously relieved our transporta
ton burden next year, SO that the
products of northern farmers can go
for export to our associates in the war.
Faithfully yours,
