To the members of Lancaster County r_ County Council of Defense: >r I wish to call your attention to some of the recommendations of the recent meeting of the State Council of Defense, h 1. The food stiuation, especially 8 as to wheat bread will be such that Southern planters are urged to Increase their acreage of wheat h wherever it is possible. In a gent eral way there should be at least one id acre to the plow over the entire county and State. And in order to Increase the productiveness a liberal Q. application of fertilizer is recom* mended. information about seed 'n and fertilizer may be had from our county agent, Mr. R. W. Graeber or miy uiner successrui wneat grower. Ly 2. A liberal seeding of rye and " oats is also urged to prevent a la shortage in feed for animals. 3. This sowing should be done without seriously cutting down the corn and cotton acreage. The farc v mers are urged to clear up and bring into cultivation old fields now lieing out. Corn and cotton still remain our best money crops. 4. You are urged to talk up this 11 program in your community and get ' a list of those expecting to enlist in this forward movement. Hugh R. Murchison, Chm. Lancaster, S. C. 6. 8' ATHLETIC CLUB*AT VAX WYCK.
