"It lh· South neglects tkli year tu
provide her own food and feed, *he
in likely to suffer serious privation,
md khti «1U put a burden upon the
N'atian which may prolong the war
and even imperil our victory," says
Clarence Oualev, Assiitant Secretary
of Auriculturo.
"I am aware that thsee art strong
word»," continua* Secretary Outlay,
"but they ara non· too strong- I am
not erpremunji an alarmist personal
opinion- I am seeing through the
eye* of 48 agricultural colleges and
of eouaty agents In nearly awry agri
cultural county. ] bava recently
eroaard the continent by the depart
ment'» 18,000 representative* and a·
many mora employoes of tho agrirul
tural college*. I have considered the
conclusion* of the International In
stitute of Agricultorc at Rome which
has report· from all the world.
"The plain, hard truth is that with
40 million people withdrawn from
productive industrie· and engaged in
tho business of destruction, it is not
humanly possible for production on
the whole to exceed normal demand.
The question la whether production
can equal necessitous demand.
"Bngland, Prance, and Italy must ;
be aoetalned or their populations can- ι
on aeanty ration* for mut» than Ihrc· ■
ytan. The chicf cans· of Ruuia'i
eoilapae m hunger. SotdlTvn can
not flght whan their wive* and chil
dren are starving.
"8*cretary McAdoo has given
warning that traasportatlon may ha

to Btatee and eonununitlaa that do
η<4 provide for themselves. Many

prim· question for the farmer ia not
what product will brinjr the higheat
price, hut what product· will inaun
food far hi* family and feed'for bdla
liv· atnck. and th· answer U: a veg
etable, a milk cow, a brood low, a
poultry flock, ample.corn, oat:-., pea
nut», etc. and then a· much cotton |
or tobacco aa ha can cultivate well.
"It in the highest demand of pa
triotism—it is the Aral requirement
of living—that in 1918 every State, ,
every county, every neighborhood, ·ν- ,
cry farmer, be as nearly self-sustain- \
ing as poaaible. ,
"For the South to plunge on cotton ι
or tobacco or any other speculative ;
crop and te depend upon the corn ,
halt for bread and meat will be for (
the South to engage in · gamble ,
which may cause privation to Ita peo
ple and diaaster to the Nation. For ,
any man now to determine his bust- ,
η ess operation· from the standpoint ι
of proAt alone, without regard to the |
Nation's needs, ia for him wilfully »o ,
profiteer inthe blood of his fellow· ,
who ar· Aghting in Prance for th· |
preservation of tho ropubUc. No man ,
can be vxcused for not taking his
share of the reaponeibility.
"My whole Hfe has been spent in
the South. I know the Southern
farmer. He will do his duty as h·
