FARMERSSAY

EASTON. Nd. April Farmers
OF Talbot county say they are in
the midst OF probably the most try
ing conditions ever experienced by
those OF the present generation.
Most Of them think that the peach
crop Is ruined and the apples are
injured to a great extent. Add to
this the prospects for half a crop OF
wheat and no signs OF sweet corn or
tomatoes and the immediate future
looks gloomy to say the least. they
declare.
All these phases OF the country
life were thoroughly discussed sat

Easton Farmers Association. One
conclusion OF the meeting was that

NEGRO BRAKEMAN
SHOT FROM AMBUSH

Henry Acreage, negro brakeman on
a north bound through freight on the
Gulf, Mobile, and Northern Railroad,
was shot from ambush and very like
ly fatally wounded while his train
stopped for water at the Burnside
water tank six miles north of here
yesterday afternoon about $3.50
O'Clock. The negro was standing in
the gang-way of the engine and ten
der when he was shot. He had look
ed the train over and climbed up in
to the gang-way. A shot gun loaded
with buck-shot was the weapon used.
One shot slightly wounded the fire
man in the hand and another pune
tured the engineers drinking cup
which was hanging on the window
facing Immediately behind the en-
gineer's hand.
Deputy Sheriff, j. L. Posey was
called to the scene by Train Master
Robertson but failed to find any clue
to the leading to the arrest of the
guilty person. The negro was carried
back to Laurel ON passenger No. 5.
Very little hope lis entertained for
his recovery. ~

CHILDREN NEED MILK
AS WELL AS CALVES
CALCIUM is VITAL FOOD HAS BONE BUILDING
PROPERTIES.

Many a farmer who understands
the Importance OF bone building In
the young farm animals forgets en-
tirely that his children are subject to
the sSme requirements. Every far
mer kaows that his calves are inferi-
or II they do not receive sufficient
milk. The same applies TO children.
The extreme Importance Of milk In
the diet of children lies In the fact
that milk Is one OF the richest calci-
um.giving foods and calcium is an
essential bone-building mineral nu-
triment. The calcium requirement of
the child exceeds that of the adult.
Meat is very low In calcium, fruit
and vegetables contain certain small
amounts, a few Of the green yegeta-
bles quite large amount.
But the main source OF calcium is
milk. There is more calcium in a
quart of milk than in quart of lime
water. A quart OF milk u day for
each growing child is desirable al
lowance.

Food Shortage Demands In
creased Acreage In
FoOdStuffS

The heavy decline in the aggregate
yield of the crops for the present year
as shown in the report issued last
week by the Department of Agricul-
ture makes absolutely certain that
our yield of foodstuffs from grain to
ruit will in many cases be far less
than required for our own needs.
This shortage comes at a time when
many parts of the world are facing
famine conditions probably never
equalled in history, for the fearful
drouth has cut short the yield in
other countries and Europe will need
enormous supplies from us.
Under these conditions advancing
prices for foodstuffs will be inevita-
BILE we think. There is great short
age in the vegetable supply, caused
by the same drouth and intense heat
which has SO reduced the yield OF
grains, and the yield OF apples and
other fruits is disastrously small.
Alftttuy bHcIC 10 cOittC w dIu ihObC-
ment In prices, and all the ranting
against the advancing cost of food
stuffs will be In vain TO stay the up
ward movement OF prices which are
based on economic conditions which
cannot be changed.

We must recognize that fact. We be-
lieve the world also faces what with

recognized as great shortage in

allied because 1t should mean higher
prices for cotton.
But the time has now come wheu

by the people Of the South should be
put forth to prepare for Increased
food production for next year with a
decrease In cotton acreage. The

SCARCITY
JUST AHEAD.

With a wheat crop 30,000,00O bu-
shells less than that OF 1920 and IA
100000 bushels short OF the average
of the five-year period from 1915 to
1919; with an oat crop nearly 100000
900 bushels short OF last year, and
80, 900, 900 bushels short of the aver
age OF the five years, 19l5-1919, and
with an enormous shortage in white
potatoes, In peaches and apples and
vegetables, we are certain to face a
growing scarcity OF foodstuffs. This
will be especially emphasized by rea-
son OF the enormous expectation OF
wheat and corn to Europe. The ecoun-
try will enter the next wheat crop
season practically bare OF all surplus
stock as compared with the amount
we should carry over. 1t becomes es-
pecially important, therefore, that
there should be large increase in
wheat acreage this fall, and the South
especially needs to learn the supreme
ly important lesson OF preparing for
IL larger acreage In wheat and oats
and other food producing crops,
with q still greater decrease In the
acreage OF cotton for next season.
1t would have been great bless
ing II the South had cut It's cotton
acreage in half and put the balance
In foodstuffs. What we failed TO do
this year must of necessity be done
for next year unless the South is
again, to suffer from food shortage
and from too much cotton.
Plans for Increased food products
must be undertaken Immediately. 1t
IS the. bounden duty OF every busi-
ness man In the South-banker, mer-
chant and manufacturer-to do his
utmost to encourage the farmers OF
this section to prepare for a great In
crease in food production, and in the
raising OF hogs, chickens and vegeta-
bles, in order that. the South may
live at4home next year, regardless OF
the prices which foodstuffs may com
mand. The time to prepare for safe
ty next year is at the present mo-
ment, and not a moment is to be
lost. for wheat seeding must be un-
der way early this fall or 1t Will be

Believing that the reduction of ar
mament, by International agreement,
is the most important problem be-
fore the world today, the League OF
Women Voters is concentrating its
efforts upon this work.
1t is estimated that between SSc
and 92c out OF every dollar OF our
taxes goes to pay Tor past and fu-
ture wars. The daily experience OF
women teaches them the economic
value OF life and they can discern
how reconstruction and progress ore
retarded because OF this tax burden.

SOUTHERN DA|RYMEN PROSPER
AS COTTON GROWERS
ASK LOANS
MERCHANTS IN TOWNS SURROUNDING MILK
PRODUCING DISTRICTS REPORT BUSINESS
TO Be EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD.

A comparison of the financial con-
dition OF dairy farmers and dairy
communities with cotton farmers
and cotton communities In Missis-
sippi brings out the fact that while
80 or 80 per cent of the cotton far
mers owe banks money ana are ask
ing n extensions on their notes,
there are few instances of notes held
against dairy farmers. The mer-
chants in towns surrounded by the
best dairy communities report their
business throughout last fall and
winter as remarkably good.
This statement Is made on the au-
thority of the extension dairy hus.
bandman, who for nearly 10 years
has engaged in the movement carried
on by the United States Department
of Agriculture and this State Agri-
cultural College of Mississippi to
build up dairying in that State and
furnish the farmers with source OF
income after the boil weevil had re-
duced the production of the South's
great staple.
To farmers these facts should lend
encouragement to break away from
the one-crop system, the specialist
says; to the bankers and business
men they should be convincing proof
that greater farm prosperity, at
tanned by more permanent and con-
structive type Of farming, benefi ts
the entire community. The growth
of the dairy industry throughout
the South is limited in a very large
degree by the willingness and ability
of bankers and other moneyed inter
ests to finance the cotton farmer OF
the past in buying cows and making
the necessary chaages In order to
branch out in a new line.
The experier e OF the business peo.
pie in western Pennsylvania town,
which became interested in promot-
ing dairying and improved agricul-
ture generally. should be illuminat-
ing to many of the southern bankers
who have not been converted to di.
versified farming. In 1915, a creamery
was organized in this Pennsylvania
| town, and one of the two banks In
the place became very active in pro-
noting dairying and financing the
industry. 1t took the initiative in
bringing In cows to sell to the far
ers at cost, and inconvenienced itsel
in many ways to accommodate the
farmers.

PHILADELPHIA MISS. THURSDAY, SEPT. l. 1921
MARKET EXPERT IS
NEEDED BY FARMERS
BETTER RESULTS CAN 8E OBTAINED BY
COOPERATION.

In times OF falling prices business
is always bad, especially the farm
ing business.
In looking for n remedy, the first
question naturally, asked Is, "why
such q large charge for distributing
our farm products to the city con-
sumer?" And possibly the next nat
ural question of the farmer is, "If this
charge is inevitable, why not do the
work ourselves, and see the change"
namely, why not go into marketing
If we analyze the first question we
will find that there are many reasons
for high marking charge. A few
Important ones are:
First-There is n enormous amount
OF work done I'm handling, hauling,
sorting and storing farm products;
some of this work is increased because
OF mixed and unsorted farm products
which have to he graded and repack-
ed.
Second-We have developed COM
plicated system of life, In which farm
products are hauled thousands OF
miles or stored for months In order
to satisfy the year-round demands
OF the consumer.
Third-Our cities have grown SO
fast that their market organizations
have been unable to expand and
keep pace with them, hence endless
congestion and confusion In distri-
buting our food.
Fourth-Tne general public does
not know as much about the mar
keting charge for manufactured arti-
cles as it does about farm products,
hence 1T does not realize that many
farm products are handled on a mar
rover margin than many manufac-
tured articles, while the farm pro-
ducts whose marketing charge is
highest, are very perishable as rule.
and subject to-big risks insEcnairS.
AS to the second question-market-
ing is a man-sized job, requiring the
full thought and energy OF the one
who hopes to make itsucceed. The
same Is true OF farming-one man
can scarcely do justice to both.
The farmers best move Is to secure
expert men to work for him on these
problems, to keep the farmer inform
ed as to market prices and world
production of crops and probable
demand, while the farmers locally
unite in strong organizations to sup
port their hired experts and to assist
in putting out uniformly graded
and packed product of higher quail
ty.
This would be going into market
ing right-on the ground floor.
When that is done, go on If neces-
sary to the next step and establish
farm companies In the cities to han
die the produce. Improvement will
come from slow. steady growth and
education, not from going into a big
business unprepared.
