1 " THE ROXBORO COURIER, MAY 2, 1917. PAGE TWO . south MUST GROW .OWN FOOD STUFF (By John Paul Lucas) "Grow your, own food and feed crops or go hungry." In less abrupt phrasing but in language just as eas ily understood, this is what the rest of the country is saying to the South this year. ' The South has been depending on the North' and Central .West for food and feed and feedsturs to the value of approximately $700,000,000 a year at present prices the figures would no doubt pass the billion dollar mark. North Carolina's part of this tremen- dous aggregate oi imyvita in round numbers $80,000,000. For the fiscal year beginning January 1, 1916 and ending June 31, 1917, be cause of a combination of high prices and poor crops in some section, oar importations will no doubt reach the staggering figure of $100,000,000. This State in common with all oi ifie South has received a solemn warning from officials of the Nation al Government, including the Secre tary and Assistant Secretary of the Department of Agriculture, that the ' food and feed stuffs we have been importing will not be available this year because they will be required for our armies and the armies of our al lies. The Governors, agricultural leaders and far-sighted farmers and business men of the South have sounded the warning also. .So grave is the situation that President Wilson himself has made a special appeal to the farmers fo the South. The State of North . Carolina has been early to take steps to meet the situation. Even before war was de clared Governor Bickett took time by the forelock and issued a proclama tion urging upon the people of our cities and towns as well as those on farms the importance of planting ample home vegetable gartjen. Fol lowing the entry of this Nation into the war Governor Bickett appointed a State Food Conservation Commission which promptly met and planned and is putting into execution under the di rection of its executive Secretary a vigorous campaign for greater food and feed production. A sub-commission is being appointed in each coun ty in the State, to have representa tion from every school district. The newspapers of the Statethe commer cial organizations, ministers, mayors of towns aftd cities, bankers and oth er persons and agencies will be called upon to assist in this campaign, in addition to the State Department of " Agriculture, the Farm Extension Service, the boys' and girls' corn, pig and tomato clubs and otheg organiza tions. In short every possible agency is being mobilized to meet the siti ation. There are several means of in creasing production. Where farmers can see their way clear, they are urg ed to reduce slightly their acreage of cotton and tobacco, specially the lat ter, giving more acres to corn, soy - beans, peas, potatoes hay, and other food and feed crops. Even where , they do not reduce their acreage of cotton and tobacco they are urged to try to take care of a slight addi- tional acreage, if they can do so with- out neglecting their accustome dcrops. Increased amounts of fertilizers may be used to advantage where wisely sppfted. , Pointy commissioners are urged "to use convicts and their work stock on tenantless farms -fo? the ' cultivation of com and hay especially, even to the tenrporary neglect of road work. The people of our cities and towns are-urgd to utilize vacant lots and lands close by for the growing .of staple food r.nd feed crops. When one tries to vision th3 amoutn of meat, floir. corn, oats, hay, pota- - toes, etc.. $80,000,000 or $100,000,009 will buy he begins to realize what a gigantic task the farmers of the State have imposed, upon them, and what a really impoitsnt work the mobilized forces working through anl in co-operation With' the Food Conserva - tion "Commission i?.ve to perform in Jj? j 1 . r . . . getting -me larmers and other pro ducers in the State to feel the serious- ness of Jhq situation ana to act promptly in meeting it. The farmers of North Carolina are v called upon-to grow fojod and feed crops not" 'only sufficient to supply all of their own needs, but to supply the needs of our cities and towns and mill -; communities as well. If they should I - raise a surplus above these require F ments; which "is "beyond the range of ;V possibilities this , year; there will be. a ' ready market for it, because this na- tion ifl nem? caiieri rmnn to fooH ,only the armies but to a considerable w - w , O v AVVVI 11V V Allies, ;prhc$6ducers by the niil . lions have ba?n taken from the fields . to fight m the trenches.

But that is not as far as it goei. They ar being given, by unusual coniitionse, such an oppor tunity to . profit as they have never had before.
