I wish to talk candidly, seriously, soberly and with an earnestness born of a solemn conviction to the readers of The Keview In Rockingham County concerning food conditions as I see them in our county this county of which wo are proud; this county of great schools, strong churches, beau tiful farms, and huge manufacturing plants; but best of all this county hav ing within its borders near 40,000 strong bodied, clean minded men and women, boys and girls. Do you know that there Is a possi- lility I will go farther and call it a probability of a great calamity com ing upon our county, not next year or ten years from now, but during THIS YEAR OF 1917? I was up at Spray recently at the noon hour and as those thousands of fine, busy, working folks came push ing out of the imill yards I imagined I could see a hideous form called Hun ger lurking in the shadow of those "alls grinning his devilish grin in an ticipation of what might be coming to him. I decided it was my duty to tell the , farmers of our county about it, stating P'ainly to them the situation in our ceunty, our State, and in practically all our great Southland. A different condition prevails today than has ever before been known in the history of the world. Nlneteen twentietha of the people of our world are actively or sympathetically at war. Millions of fighting men are consuming billions of dollars worth of food every month, ocean "bushwhackers"-a devilish product of this great 20th century are sinking to the bot tom of the sea millions of dollars worth of food every week; millions of men have gone frc:n the ranks of producers and joined the ranks of lust v consumers of food products, and to cap It all good old .Nature failed us in part last season, giving a short har vest. ' Our Southland including Rocking ham County has for years been trad ing with the balance of the country harterlng what We thought we could best grow for food that they thought they could profitable produce, for sale. Cur last year's bill for this purchased food amounted to nearly a billion 'dollars... Well, while that was bad, and a pile of money to send out of our country for things, we had land, la bor, climate and every other neces sary factor at hand for profitably pro ducing, yet we get along for we had something to give In exchange, AND THEY HAD THE FOOD TO SPARE. And if conditions were unchanged thi.i year there would, of course, be the bad economic policy to combat that of buying and transporting what we could as well or better produce at home but we would not be under the recessity, the grave necessity, of a complete change of pollpy AT ONCE But conditions HAVE changed since one year ago, a change that I fear not one person In every thousand real izes the import of. Our nation with its wonderful wealth of soil. it blg n.'nded farmers who think in thou sands of bushels unlts--htas allied herself with other great nations lhat have millions of fighting men already In the trenches fighting In a life and death struggle. With this all'anr e has gone the obligation to feed those in illions wih whom wo have cast oar lot, and already the great granerics and storehouses of the West -frim which we have in time pat boxn drawing our suppUes-Kare being.' emu-, tied and men are lo .king unxloiM; toward the coming harvest 'wonueHng. if it will suffice, not lo feed the .o ; down South, for they are able to feed toemselves, but to feed the armiei 1-, the field and the people In the w'ai swept areas. Men and women of Rockingham, this Is the exact situa tion as I ee it after months of care ful study. We grew In Rockingham last year probably less than one-half the food we consumed, and this. Is a call to my farmer friends to "about face" ribht now, while the food planting season is ytt young, and do their duty by their country. If we feed the people " of our country this year we must grow $ 1 ,000,000.00 worth more food than we produced last year and save every pound of it. This is a task for MEN and WOMEN, but it will carry with it its. reward 'of. a well fed busy people Instead of, perhaps, a country filled with hungry children. Settle into the harness, Rockingham folks, and go to it. The task la ours to perform! A. L. FRENCH. Sunny Hune Farm. TO THE FATHERS AND MOTHERS IN ROCKINGHAM Every man, wor.an, boy and girl wants to have a part In our country's tlofense, or should want to. Patriot ism now causes every heart to beat with added energy, and every soul to feel a now thrill. Every American wants to play a part. Fighting men are the smallest part of our country's defense. Every normal boy is born a foldler. There are thousands of boys In North Carolina who are imbued with theniilitary spirit, and yet toe young to enlist in the fighting army. Most parents are glad they are too "oung. If you can conscientiously feel that your boy can just as hon orably serve his country and still stay at homo, your heart will be made glad. Th? President, the Secretary of Ag riculture and all leading oiliclals of the nation are urging the production and conservation of fowl and feed crops as just as Important a part of the nation's defense as the fighting with guns and shells. America must not only teed herself but must feed her allies. It is unpatriotic for any family to buy one pound of food or feed and thus diminish the world's supply, when there is land available for the production of that food by the family. Remember that fvery time you use a pound of the commercial food sup ply you are taking that imuch from the mouths of hungry soldiers ana hungry children. Every pound adds just that uuK-h to the amount so preai- ly needed to keep life in th: Indies of the sUrving mothers ana cli ldren. We have in North Carolina an avmy of ten thousand boys and girls who are doing their part in this American crisis by growing corn, pigs, chick ens, potatoes, peanuts and vegetables for canning. H;v3 you any boys end girls between the ages of ten and eighteen who have not yet enlisted a this army? W:ul'l you iot prefer them enlist in this 'arm, rathe.- than in the army at the front.' lnu may say that they are iielping you produce these things. However, they do not feel that they are personally partici pating and individually responsible unless they are growing something of their VERY OWN. The effectiveness of an army is de pendent upon the efficiency of its or ganization. Let us appeal to you. in th? na re of your country, to persuade vour boy to join one of the clubs a id then give him all the encouragement possible. Send his name and address inidcating the club he wants to join to Mr. T. E. Brown. West Raleigh. N. C. or to myself, and we shall be glad t;i-enroll him, and do all we can by tending him letters and circulars of Instruction, to help him oiake a suc cess of his work. The time for en rollment will close in about 30 days. However, a boy or girl can enroll in th? pig club now and get their pig up to July 15th. In this day of needed food, be sure to plant soybeans or cowpeas in all corn, and Idle land, they are excellent human foods. Yours truly F. S. WALKER, County Agent, Reidsville, N. C. Coal Prices Unwarranted Prevailing retail prices of anthracite coal aie unwarranted and the supply Tor next season Is adequate, the Fed eral Trade Commission states In a prell i .'nary report based on a partial ly completed Investigation ordered by Congress last winter. The commission warns consumers aganst buying larger quantities of coal I than usual this summer, saying there are symptoms now of such a buying Don't Let Your Cough Hanfl On A cough that racks and weakens Is dangerous, it undermines your health an dthrives on neglect. Relieve It it once with Dr. King's New Discovery This soothing balsam remedy heals the throat, loosens the phlegm, its antiseptic properties kill the germ and the cold is quickly broken up. Child ren and grown-ups alike find Dr. King's New Discovery pleasant to take as well as effective. Hav a hnftio 1 v" ""'vu X'"-U"JU i'v.u4- nanay in your medicine chest for grippe, croup and all bronchial ftec- iors last winter to force prices above riormal. No good reason exists, says the report, why May prices should not be subject to the usual suimmer dis count, but "if the public is again de ceived as to indulge In a scramble for coal, the favorable situation may be nullified." The commission is keeping in close touch with the anthracite situation and promises to "expose any unscru pulous wholesaler, jobber or retailer who seeks to mislead the the public into a belief that exorbitant prices are Justifiable or that there is any ne cessity to Join In a frenzied bidding to secure Immediate delivery for far future needs."
