In meeting present day emergencies It Ls definitely recognized that man. after all, la greatly Influenced by w Lot be eat.*; let that tnaa live la the city as uu office worker, store keeper, or In the town In the textile mill or In the rurul upon the farm, kevent Information brought to light reveal* that these all ill-nourished l?ople In alarming large numbers dwelling on farms espoclullv In Southern states. - , * ' That of the young, men of the nation, who have reported for military duties and approximately from *80 to 40 per cent have been rejected' lii some arens because of being physlcJally unfit to stand the rigor of military training and to make a fit soldier to defend America. This serious defect In the health of the nation Is traceable.to an unbalanced food diet of American people, city and rural, and wltliln the ranks of 'both the white and 'Negro race.' It Is further recognized thut soil depletion of American farms have gone forward at an alarmingly''rate. The soil of the best farms hare either been eroded with floods and rains or blown away in dust by the winds. Soils "and Men.

Man treats her harshly. He oyer plows the crop land and over grazes the posture land, and orer cuts the.tlm? frerland. He^dgstroys.mllHoai otAcres ^ ebmpleJeJr' after'year" In the cities_ w\Alh; In turn what they..do not rise, pour down the sewers Into the rivers and the ocean. The flood problem Is so far as It Is maD-made Is chlefjj the result of over plowing, over grazing and over ctft? timber^Thus special attention ' Is called to the necesslty-'of a wiser conservation of our natural resources, the soil and forestry as well as the streams of the nation." *n?e Importance of Food In National Defense.
