FARMERS PROFIT MOST BY WAR SAVINGS CAMPAIGN "The fanner is the man who's go ing to get out. of the War Savings Campaign." says Mr. Gilbert'.;, T Stephenson, In one of the beat speech es he makes In the Interest of War Savings and Thrift Stamps. Mr. Stephenson has made a careful study of what the Thrift Campaign . will mean to the visitors ciLasses of in- Carolina stand forty-fifth hi the list. with Only three other States, all Southern, showing a lower per cap lta wealth in farm property. However, Mr. Stephenson believes North Carolina farmers are not only going to their part in financing the war, but that Ihey wli be quick to take advantage of this easy, safe profitable and convenient form of in vesting their savings In four per cent. Interest bearing, non-taxable Government securities in the shape of War Savings Stamp He bolleves that the farmer In this State will rtMXJKnize what hits been opened to them in this plan of purchasing War Stamps and what it will mean to them in doing business on a cash basis af ter the war. i w.s.s FARMERS WILL BE BENEFITED North Carolina fanners will be ben efitted to the extent of probably more than $2,000,000 by President Wilson's proclamation fixing the price of 1918 prop oT wheat at $2.20 Chicago ba- veators, and ays: "As a' purely busi- siH instead of the. $2,00 guaranteed by .

I Wlmlngton or Newport News price Mr. Stephenson figures out that the tarmer will for once, be 'able to eat his cake and have it too. He says this can be done by the fanner lend ing his money to Government with of wheat minus freight, but, the mills of lest than 75 barrel.-) capacity are not restricted to the price they shall pay, and these mill, comprising prob ably 90 per cent, of the flour milts of good Interest which the Government the State, are maintaining a price for wlM use in buying food and clothes wheat in North Carolina at l;ast Cor (its soJdlerBL The fanners will! !(llial the Newport News or Wilmlng grow the food and ftothes-products Um price. pii freight so that the which the Government will buy. So Price of wheat In North Carolina to the money wliich the fanners lend dav averages mot less than $2.35. to the Government by purchasing War Savings Stamjw will come back to them In the purchase of wheat corn, cotton, wool, pork and beef, and other . farm products that they have growry, The North Carolina farmer Js not as rich as he ought to be, says Mr Stephenson, for the reason that he has never learned to save. He says that the crop producing power of North Carolina in 1910 was $24.84 per acre, while that in Iowa was $17.91, of Oklahoma, $10.95. Yet the per capita wealth of North Carolina In Harm property was $322 as compared with $3,386 for Iowa and $994 for the United States as a whole. In per capita wealth the farmers of North wun me increased acreage pianieu in wheat during the past season it i estimated that the difference in the vafflue of North Carolina's wheat crop will be considerably in excess of $2,0X),0OOi This increase In price will justify and encourage increased use of fer tilizer on wheat. On average land an application of 100 pounds of nitrate of soda or a good top .dresser should increase the yield of wheat by four of five bushels. One hundred pound of top dresser shoulld cost not more than four or live dollars so that the Investment should return a profit of at least 100 per cent.

W.8.8 North Carolina farmers and food consumers have come to realize that there was no hot air about the warn ing they received l'ast Spring that unless they produced their own food and feedstuff's thy would have to go without. The railway situation has been such, is such, and promises to continue such, that this section wiM not be able to import food commodi tie and foodstuffs In any considerable quantities until after the war is over and by that time let us hope that our people will1 luwe realized that it is foolish under any circumstances to import corn, oats ad hay, to feed livestock, to grow cotton, tobacco or any other crop, especially waen tue production of cotton and tobacco need not be reduced in order to secure an increased prouction of food and feed stuffs. Crop rotation an better farm ing1 will turn the trick. : : W.S.8. John Paul Lucus, who conducted the production and conservation propaganda last spring and summer for the State Conservation Commis sion, and who is now executive sec retary for the Food Administration, estimated that the garden products raised last year were worth $12,000, 000 to $15,000,000 more than the gar den products of the previous year Later reports from canning clubs and other sources proved that this esti mate was extremely conservative. Mrchants all over North Carolina very readily state that the demand for canned vegetables and fruits during the past season have been small during the past season as com pared with the former years and they do not hesitate to say further that they would not have peen able to supply the usual demands because thev could not have secured the stocks themselves. , w.s.s.
