THE FARMERS je] AGAINST EXTRAVAGANCE ir Columbia, Nov. 23.?In an open letter addressed to the farmers of the state. D. B. Coker, chairman of the state council of defense and S1 i state food administrator warns the a! people that the present orgy ?of ^ money spending if continued will w result in disaster. The intelligent! ? citizens of the state can do no more 0 patriotic service at present, Mr. Co-1 ker declares than to vigorously,61 preach against the extravagance P which many of the people are in- J w dulging in. As an instance in point ; a: Mr. Coker calls attention to the ( fact of $500 having been offered forjs^ a well-known make of automobile j which sells for much less than that \ ^ amount which had been in service j months. Thousands of mules are ^ being shipped into the state, the de- j P( defense chairman declares, and im many are being sold to farmers who I P' can get along without them. | Mr. Coker warns the farmers of P1 the approach of the boll weevil and e3 calls attention to the necessity of w producing an ample food crop if the 31 armies of freedom are to be fed. Special emphasis is laid on the need ar for increased production of live UI stock, especially hogs. In conclusion Mr. Coker calls on ^ the people to respond liberally to the calls of the government, Red w Cross an dY. M. C. A. His letter fol lt! lows: th Open Letter to the Farmers. Present abnormal conditions in ^ the agricultural and financial situation of our state requires serious thought by all of our people, but es-1 pecially by our farmers. I Cl The following are some of the j ^ more prominent features requiring!^ consideration: m . 1 r . 1. ine aonormai iarm inunto ranging (1 estimate) at from four to ten times the average in differ- sc ent parts of the state. je; 2. That great scarcity and high E1 prices ui leruiizers piwcuu pitw re being about 60 per cent higher H than last year. 3. The scarcity and high price j. f food products. This condition { ill certainly last as long as the'j ar. 4. The presence in our state of! I le boll weevil, which may be ex-11 ected to cover the entire state,! ithin two years and seriously af-jj ;ct cotton production in 1919 and 920. 5. The inadequate and congested ansportation facilities by both ind and water. 6. The obligation which rests pon every citizen to loyally re)ond to the needs of our governlent at war. There is abundant evidence that lany of our people are engaged in perfect orgy of money spending, was told today of a large plantaon upon which the tenants had ich made a net profit of from $500 ) $1,500 and that all of these tennts together could probably not rise $300 in cash today. Thousands of mules are being lipped into the State, and many re being sold to farmers who can et along without them. All will ave to be fed for four months or iore on high-priced corn and for*e before they will be of much se. Premiums over the cash price re being paid for automobiles. I now of $500 having been offered >r a Ford car that had been used >r sometime. Many are buying au- j (mobiles who will very shortly j ive no money to pay for gasoline j id repairs. The intelligent citizens of the 1 ate can do more patriotic service ? t the present juncture than to vig- 1 rously preach against the extrava- j ance which many of our people are ! idulging in. They need to be told j lat this is a time which requires [ le exercise of sound business judg-l ent as well as of united patriotic! )-operation with the government.' hov nped to be told that the man' ho now has in hand enough money if i orun his next year's crop andf >ends it unwisely before next'j >ring will show such poor business;[ idgment and that he will be, and j lould be, regarded as a very dan-|[ ?rous credit risk by the banker j{ id merchant. They should be told that it isjj ise to buy fertilizers right away|| id have them shipped out, as there " great danger that the late buyer id the credit buyer will not be jie to get any fertilizers or will nt receive them on time. They need to have their attenon directed to the fact that in ev-' ry state which the boll weevil has ivaded cotton production has romptly decreased, land values ave fallen and great distress and isorganization have followed. They need to be told that the access of our agriculture, as well 5 the success of our nation in lis <rreat war for human liberty,! ill be jeopardized if the farmer' oes not p roduce an maple supply, f food. The production of live! tock?especially hops?should be j mphasized and it should be ex-; lained that meat products and fats! ill remain high and profitable long'' fter the end of the war. And last, but not least, they lould be urged to respond loyally > the calls of the government for le purchase of Liberty bonds and >r the liberal support of the Red ross and Y. M. C. A., the sole pur ose of which organizations is to > linister to the safety and to the! lysical and moral welfare of our 3ys .at the front. The unusual -osperity of our state leaves us no ccuse to do less than our parti hen each call for patriotic service id sacrifice comes. May not the council of defense1 id the food administration depend! jon every member of our own or-j inizations and upon all other! ' oughtful citizens to weigh careilly the present abnormal situation; ith its splendid opportunities and 3 great dangers and to use all of < ,eir influence to the end that the 1 >portunities may be wisely and ] * - -.J?
