E. E. brown; County Food Administrator. iw. s. s. We have many appli cations for farm fur lotmhs and a great manv persons are coming to our office making in quiries about the same. All applications which we have recommended have been turned down at the Camp under Sec. 6, of the regulations, on the ground that the ser vices of the men are much needed in the army. The application as to the most deserving case we know of in the County has been so de nied at Camp. We make this statement as a great deal of good time ij be ing wasted by parties coming long dtetnces to confer with the ?3oard about this class of fur loughs. A further harmful idea has gained prevalence: That if a farm furlough can be obtained for a soldier, that it will delay the time when he will have to go to France. teliis is a seriousmistake Under the army regula tions a man can only join one Company. When his Companv is ordered to go to France, every man in the Company has to go and every day he is kept away from the training camp, he loses that much opportunity for valuable training in the art of defense and self-preservation.

Wheat is the most important War Crop. -Until its production is increased still more there will not be enough to remove the dan ger of a Food Shortage from the Front. Of twelve most important Food Crops, the entire country gained in planted acreage in 1917 over acreage of 191426,124,000 acres. Of this gain the Southern States increased 14,933,000 acres or 57 per cent of the whole. - Of the individual crops the South gained: In Wheat 1,976,000 acres, or 56 per cent of the whole. In Corn 6,582,000 acres, or 41 per cent of the whole. In Other Food Crops 6,407,000 acres, or 37 jpe cent of the whole. Qf the Fall wheat acreage of 1918 there was anin crease of 3,067,000 acres, of which the South gained 2,332, 000 acres, or 76 per cent.

It is no less our duty to furnish them and our allies food than it is their duty to fight. We are raising this fall an ample cotton crop to clothe and provide edible fats and oils for our boys. Let us raise a big grain crop next spring to fcelp feed them. It can be done. The labor requirements are, compara tively small, and the- acre yields may be increased with good seed, a well prepared seed beat and a liberal application of -proper fertilizers. ' Bel Food I wish to call special attention. The rule reads as follows i The vol 1 of wheat i? stilt effective. - Household consum !ers ere expected to confine their ! consumption of wheat flour to this ! figure and, under the new oonserva j tion of the Food Administration, to ! mix with all flour used for baking ' bread, biscuits, cakes, or other prod- nets 20 per cent of corn flour, corn ;meal or other cereal substitutes. ! The 50-50 rule was changed not to increase the consumption of flour, ; but to give the patriotic housewife i j 1 ; t . A iiici'i niiAn in ' th,e use of flour. The removal of the specjhc re strictions regarding, the quantities j of flour that may be sold to consum ers leaves in effect only the general provision of the Food Control Act, which provides that a consumer may have on hand of under con tract "reasonable requirements for a reasonable period." For the time being this office will regard not. ex ceeding sixty days as a reasonable period and of course the calculation woukl be on a basis of the volun tary ration of six pounds of flour per person per montl.
