SHORTAGE OF FOOD STUFFS IRA PLEMMONS OPPOSES DESTRUCTION AND IMPORTATION News-Record : What the future holds for us no one can tell, but there are certain indications that lead us to visualize what we may expect. Today in this land where we had plenty and should have now, and would have except for the fact that thousands -upon thous ands of our food animals and mil lions of bushels of wheat and corn have been destroyed, until at this very moment we actually have a food shortage of 17 per cent in the main land necessary looa supply oi 'country To feed one person it. re u:. i aio nnnrts of various kinds iof food each year, that is if the popu- lation is to be healthily fed. The actual deficit is 309 pounds at this time. In manv of the food stuffs it is even more: in fruit it is 39 per cent, vegetables 10 per cent, dried fruit, 19 per cent, milk exclusive of that used for butter, 33 per cent, but ter 61 per cent, meats 9 per cent, eggs 27 per cent, short of the neces sary requirements. This means that we are actually snort vu.uuu.uuu pounds of food stutt. mis enor mous amount of food must and is now being imported and handed ag round, not only to those on relief, ftnt hio-her nrices are being paid to foreign farmers by the people who I k kir fnnd Then whv snouia - nlnw ii (nrn wheat. kill off the nizs. Would it not ... . tit i i i, . have been more sensible to have al lowed our farmer to have raised this shortage of food?, To have done so Would furnish "m"ore jobs to the jobless, more money to the farmers, even if this shortage was sold at a less price than food is now sold for. Too. many millions of hungry people could and would have been fed with out the dole and the taxpayers would not have to, in the future pay the bills. The importation of food does not and will not employ folk. Why should the taxpayers' money be taken and sent to foreign nations to replace the food that our farmers can and would be glad to produce? Our shortage of food makes for bad health, since va riety of food stuff is necessary to have a healthy nation. I think ev eryone knows that the food nut out at the expense of the taxpayers on the dole to those on relief is not the kind, quality or in amounts that will keern the poor that are on relief healthy healthy. Those on relief cannot be healthy living on thin, blue beef from the starved cattle shipped here from the west. If you have ever seen some of this meat handed out to the folk on relief. I am sure that you ob served that it is so tough that it would take the teeth of a mastodon to get just a little juice out of it. I think all of us must be warned that if only a few states this year have a drought or short crops that next year we will see a gle'ater food shortage than we have now. It is not out of range of possibility that the government will have a';ent3 a round to tell us how much we may have to eat even if it is our own stuff u.w w .y B'xuuie, nu , -u imay beaken away to feed thPethat woum De neipiess on account oi t U A un that this will not come, but we can not destroy more pigs, more wheat. corn and other products. I hotie that every family, especially in Madison County and the state, will produce the utmost of foodstuff this year. I believe that next year it will be needed We older folks can stand some hunger and do without many things we would like to have,' but when we think that four millions of chldren under five years of age at this very minute being underfed and under clothed, and largely so on account of the destruction of food,, cotton and wool by a crazy bunch of "brain trusters" then it is that our blood boils. Only a few days ago a lady came into . office. Sh. h.d in her rmm m. hnndl. r-nn.j i- , iM her arms a bundle wrapped in a piece of an ofd blanket, and other, rags. i baa ner open the bundle and let me have a look. Now I almost wish I had not. This bundle was wizen faced littte baby, under-fed, half clothed, setting what , little nourish ment it7 could from an under-fed mother, whose face was undoubtedly pale and drawn for lack of food. This food could have been furnished had not our nigs, wheat, corn, cotton tyen destroyed. X do not believe mat any farmer of . this country wants higher prices for their products tf that higher price la to be had at the .expense of these four millions of babies. I believe that we should un dertake to raise every pound of food this year possible regardless of what anv law or lawyer, the "brain trust ers" to the contrary notwithstanding, may say.

Use Cottonseed Meal The almost unlimited supply oi cottonfteed meal at a reasonable price isiconiidred one of the greatest na turaj atntages available to southern iivestoVkpisodueers-.-4-' - -' " " "' Tests conducted at the N. C. Agri cultural Experiment Station have dis closed that one pound of cottonseed meal is the equivalet of two pounds of grain when used as a protein sup plement in animal feeds. . Earl H. Hostetler, in charge of an- imal husbandry research at the sta tion, stated that recent experiments have shown that cottonseed meal can pe lea sareiy to noises aim mu.o, provided that the meal is usea as a : supplement to adequate pasturage l . nrnnBr .,.. in the diet. A good way to feed the meal is l' ' I o n - - to distribute it over the corn, prefer ably at the night feeding, Hostetler pointed out. He suggested that only a small a mount of meal be given when first starting horses or mules on cotton seed meal. Later, when the animals ?et used to eating it, the ration may be increased to one or two pounds of meal daily for each 1,000 pounds of live weight. iHowever, he yarned, cottonseed mea) is not a complete substitute for grain in the diet. It has also been found that when pigs are fed, free choice, a diet of corn and a mixture of equal parts of cottonseed meal, fish meal, and mineral, they gained 12 percent more rapidly and were 24 percent more profitable than those fed in the same Mr. Clyde A. Erwin. At 12 o clock the Parent Teacher Association in conjunction with the school will have sandwiches, coffee, candy, peanuts, popcorn, etc. for sale.

Cottonseed meal is not only a nu tritious feed for all kinds of live stock, Hostetler. added, but it also contains important soil-building ele ments which furnish excellent plant food when returned to the land in the form of manure. BASEBALL AT MARS HILL Mars Hill College, Mars Hill, N. C. 9 April 1935 (SPECIAL) Cold weather and rain has caused the cancellation of three baseball games for Mars Hill college, ine games last week-ena in lennebsee with Carson apd Newman were com pletely washed out as the teams were unable to take the field either day. TVio .mo tnHnir with Asheville Farm sicayvu t " j in -"-- - Wirtz is the starting pitcher for this game and he should be able to give any team .in junior college baseball lots of trouble as he has a good curve ball and a nice fast ball. It will be remem'bered that Wirtz was one of the few pitchers to register a win o ver Mars Hill last season. 'Pitching for the Princeton, Indiana, team. Wjrtz defeated Mars' Hill four to one The other nitchers have all seen ac tion with the exception of Wirtz and Johnson. Both Parker and Kell have a win -to their credit and the other pitchers have not had a chance in a regular game to show their wares.' . Farm School will open the local season at Mars Hill this Saturday, the game being called at three P. M. Farm School has had one of the best teams in Western North Carolina and should give Mars Hill plenty of trou ble. It is expected that one of the largest crowds to ever see an early game -at Mars Hill -will turn truf-ffs a great deal of baseball interest has been shown this year. In all probabil ity Kell and Parker will be called on to do the pitching here this Satur day. T. H. R..
