C., April la, lf!7 SOUTHERN FARMERS URGED TO "SHOW THEIR PATRIOTISM" BY RAISING GREATER FOOD CROPS PmUmi, In Lengthy Appeal to All the People •( the Nation, Snye the South Coo Help In tha Present CH.U In Na Belter Way "Than By Reeietiag the Great Temptation ml tho Present Prica ml Cotton-" V/r.ehmgluti, Aprl 16.—In an ap peal to all citiaens of the country issued tonight. President Wilson «t"W»d the opportunity for the far mers of the South to "show their pa triotism." which he said can bo dona In no better way “than by resisting thu great temptation of the pro ton t price of cotton, and hvlplng upon a great acala to feed the nation and the peoples everywhere who are fighting for their liberty and our own." the President’s appeal urges all American citiaens to join together to make the nation a unit for tho pre servation of its Ideals and for the triumph of democracy in the world war. “The supreme test of the nation has come." says the address. "We must all speak, act and serve togeth er.” Putting the navy on a war fooling and drafting a great array are the simplest parte of the greet task ahead, the Persidenl declare* and he Wires all tho people, with particular emphasis upon hie words to tha far mer*, to concentrate thejr energies, practice economy unsolllehly and de monstrate efficiency. The addrem follows: ■ M r reclamation In hull. "My fallow countrymen: “The entrance of our own beloved country into the grim and terrible war for democracy and humane right* which ha* shaken the world, create* eo many problems of nation a] life and action which call for im m. riiate consideration and settlement that I hope you will permit me to ad dress to you u few words of earnest counsel and appeal with regard In them. “We are rapidly putting our navy upon an affective war footing and ale about to errata and equip n great army but three are the simplest parts of the great task to which we have twlilraaaed ourssWsa Thar* la not a single erlflih element, so far as I ran see, in the cause we are fight ing for. “We are fighting for what we be li-.-o and wish to be the righU of mankind and for the future peace and security of the world. To do this great thing worthily and success fully we must devote ourselves to Ihe service without regard to pro fit or material advantage and with an energy and intelligence that will rise to the level of the enterprise itself. Wc must realize to the full how great Iho task is and how many things, how many kinds and ele ments of capacity and service and self-sacrifice it involves. “These, then, are the things w» must do, and do well, besides fight inf -the things without which mere fighting would be fruitless: “We must supply ubundant food for ourselves and for our armies and our seamen, not only, but also for n largo part of the nations with whom Wo. have now made common cause, in whose support and by whose sides wc shall be fighting. “W# must supply ships by the hun dreds out of our ship yards to carry to Ihe other side of the sea, subma rines or no submarines, what will av cry day be needed there, and abund ant materials out of our fluid* and our mines and our factories with which not only to clothe and equip oar own force* on land and sen, but ako to clothe and support oar people for whom the (reliant fellows under arms ran oo longer work, to help cloth* and equip the armies with which »• are co-operating in Europe, and to keep th* looms and manufac tories there In raw materiel, eeal to keep the fires going in ship* at see and inth* furnaces of hundreds of factories across the see; steel out of which to make arms and ammuni tion both here and there; rails for wornout railways heck of tho fight ing fronts; locomotives and rolling atock to take th* place of those ev ery day going to pieces; mules, hors es. cattle for labor and military service; everything with which the people of England and Franc* and Italy end Rtsaata have usually sup plied themselves, bet out not now afford the men, th* materials or the machinery to make. "It i* evident to every thinking man that our Industries, on the farms, inth* ship yard*, in th# mine*. In the factorise, must be made more prolific aad more efficient than ever end that they must be more econom ically managed and better adapted to th* particular requirements of our task than they have been; and what I want to any la that the men and Woman who daveta their thought and that, energy to th*** thing* will b* earring the country and condeet Ing th# fight for pence and freedom ]uot a* truly and jest as effectively as the men an the battefleid or In th* tranche*. Th. Indaetrlal fere*. of the country, nan anil women alike will be a great national, a groat lie Ternational. service army, a notablr aud honored host i-ngiiyril in the •ervlec of the nulion and th* world, tha eflicicnt friend* and savior* of free man everywhere. Thousand*, nay, hundred* of thonsanda of men otherwise liable to military service will of right and necessity be ex cused from that service and nssirincd to the fundamental, sustaining work I of the fields and fschnin and miner, and they will be as much a part of tho great patriotic forces of the nation an tha man under lira. “I take th* liberty, therefore, of nildrvtaing this word to th* formers of the country and to all who work on the farm*:' The supreme need of our oven nation and of the naliona with which wc era cooperating is an abundance of supplies, food supply, especially for the present year, is superlative. Whitout abundant food, alike for the armies and th* peo ples now at war, the while great enterprise upon which we have em barked will break down and fail. The world’s food reserves are low. Not only during thf present emergency, but for some time after peace shall have romr, bot^i our own people and a large proportion of the people of Europe must rely upon the harvests in America. Upon the farmers of this rountry, therefore. In large measure*, rests the fate of th# war and tha fats, of the nations. May the nation not count upon tbam to omit no atep that will increase the production of their land or that will bring eboot the moat effectual co-operation in the sale and distri bution of their products. The time IS Short. It is Of tho rrn«l Imuntit, — importance that everything possible be done and dono immediately to make sure of large harvests. 1 call upon young men and old alike and open the able-bodied boya of ihr land to accept and act upon this duty—to turn in hosts to the farms and make certain that no pain* and no labor t* lacking in tbit great m»tt«r. "I particularly appeal to the far mer* of the south to plant abundant foodstuff* as well as rottoa. They con show their patriotism in no bet ter or mors convincing way than hy rousting the groat temptation sf the present price of cotton nnri helping open ■ great scots: t» rose 'hr notion and ths psoplea sv rrywhore who are fighting for Ihdr l.bcrtica and our own. The variety of their crop* will be the visible m can lira of their comprehension ut their national duty. “Ths government of the United Htalas and the governments of the several nates stand ready to eo-oper atc. Thoy will do everything pos able to assist farmers in securing an adequate supply of seed, an adequate force of labors* whan they *r« moh noeded, at harvest time. and the means of expediting shipment* of fertiliser* and farm machinery, as woll a* the crop* themsslvc* Ur hen harveited. The course of trad* shall be os unhampered aa It 1* possible to mahe it, ami thorr shall he no unwarranted manipulation of the na tion'* food supply by those who handle it on it* way to the' con sumer. This is our opportunity, to demonstrate the efficiency of a groat democracy and w* ihaD not fall short of It. “This, let me say to th* middle men of every sort, whether they are handling our foodatufT* or our raw materials of manufacture of the pro ducts of our mills and factories. The eyes of the country will b* especial ly upon you. This is your opportuni ty for signal aarrtec, efficient and dis int«rmt*d. The country expects you. ma U -- - II - a I_ s_ lga_l_ unusual profits to organise and ex pedite shipments of supplies of ev ery kind, but especially of food, with an eye to tho service you ate rendering and la tho spirit of those who enlist in tho ranks, for their peo ple, not for themselves. I shall eoh RdenUy expert you to denerve and win tho confidence of people of ev ery sort and station. “To the men who run the railways of the country, whether they bv man ■gsrs or operative employes, let me say that tho railways are the arteris* of the nation’s llnm’ life and that qpon them rests Ui« Immense respon sibility of seeing to ft that those arteries sulTcr no ohetruetlon of any kind, no Inefficiency or slackened powsr. To the merchant, lot me luggest the motto: ’Small profits and quick service; and to the ship builder, th« thought that tho life of the war depends upon him.
