RAISE FOODSTUFFS OR
STARVE. SOUTH Is TOLD

MEMPHIS. Tenn. March S. -
Raise foodstuffs or starve
That is what the farmers of the
south are being told by agricultural
experts and the newspapers. The
southern states have never produc-
ed enough foodstuffs 10 feed them
selves. Always great stores of food
have been moved south from the
north and cotton has been sent north
in exchange With the railroads
congested and European countries
crying for every pound of food
America can spare. the south must
not draw on the north for food. but
must raise "a sufficient amount AT all
hazards.
IL is pointed out that the world
can get along with seven or eieht
million bales of cotton. AGAINST the
usual ten or dfteeu million bales
and that instead OF producing "a sur
plus of cotton the south must pro-
duce fully one-third more fooJstufs
cor so hungry.

Vegetables will not thrive in poorly
drained soil no matter how much
care is given them.
Break Soil Early.
Flowing or spading should be
done at the earliest possible mo-
ment in order that in sections of
the country where freezing occurs
the soil may be subjected TO freeZ-
ing SO that it will be broken up by
the action of the frost and be mel
