LIONS ADDRESS
Growers Night Address Given
By r. Nj. Collision On Food
Production By Our Farmers
MAKE LAND YIELD MORE

/ Ralph M. Collision, former field
man, of the Production Marketing
Administration, U. S. Department
of Agriculture, was the guest
speaker at the meeting of the Clay
tion Lions Club on Growers Night.
His topic was ''The Fifth Plate"
and he stated that by this he did
not mean an extra trip to the dent
ist or a new form of baseball, but
that it related to the big chore fac
ing our farmers in 1875, when our
population will be at least 3S mil
lion more people, making an extra
plate necessary at our four-plate
dinner table. We are users of food
but not producers of food for the
present. The total gross farm pro-
duction to meet the expected 1875
demand means 20 percent increas-
ed output by a farm population
which is not growing in numbers as
fast as the urban consumers, ac-
cording to the speaker. Instead of
recent level somewhere around
138 percent of the pre-war average
farm production, a jump to 167
percent of that base period would
probably be necessary by 1875, he
said. The answer lies, the speak
er continued, in making each five
acres of farm land yield as much
as six acres do. This is best Sc
cured through research, conserva-
ton, plant food and lime, power
equipment, adequate farm credit
and fair price incentives to farm
ers, he said in conclusion. The fol-
lowing growers were guests of
members: Charles Pryor, Raymond
Townsend, Theodore Horsey, JOS
eph McClements, and Charles
Dukes, guests of Ernest S. Matti-
ford; Norman Short, OF George W.

Virginia Legion AssaiIs
Foreign Policy, U. 5. Aid
BY the Assoeiated Press

RICHMOND, Aug. g. United
States foreign policy and Federal
aid to localities were assailed in a
declaration of policy presented to
the State American Legion con-
vention here today.
On foreign policy the statement
said:
1--WE believe we should take the
initiative by setting UP. a program
Of our own designed to deter un-
friendly powers from unlawful
aggression. Too long have we
been on the defensive, adjusting
our goals from day to day, per-
mitting ourselves to be thrown of
stride by a simple statement or
gesture made by a foreign power
which at the same time seeks to
destroy u.s."
On Federal aid:
Federal aid, we believe, weak
ems and eventually destroys the
very fiber of our character.
Sooner or later the will and
finally the ability to achieve, at
the local level, vanishes. When
that happens, the philosophy of
socialism is inevitable, resulting in
the loss of individual dignity, the
free enterprise spirit and finally a
goddess collectiviSm."
