Vhereas, the National Governit and our State Government lize that an ample supply of food Is, both for this country and for se other countrise who are likee at war with the Imperial Cern Government, is necessary for successful prosecution of mili f operations.

They have, therefore, ed upon the people of South Carta to discontinue, as far as possitheir drafts upon the already leted national food reserves, and > to add to the national food re /es by the production at home of ( ry possible pound of food for . 1 and beast. 1 n order that the people of South ( olina may be advised of the na- . ml peril caused by food shortgae, ] [ that effective steps may be taken 1 i ABBEVILLE GREENWOOD !

THE ROSE* DEI I . j \ THE ROSE) in this state for food production and lonservation, pis Honor, the Governor of South Carolina, has constituted a commission known as the Commission for Civic Preparedness for War. He has charged this Commission with awaking our people to the necessity of united and patriotis action in the face of national periL That the people may be properly informed and induced to take the necessary co-operative action, the following facts are received: The available supplies of foodstuffs are the lowest in all food-producing countries thpt they have been' for over fifty years. Prices of most foodstuffs have about doubled during the past two or three years. The reserve supplies of meats are far below normal. A nation at war requires more food than a nation at peace. France, England, Belgium and Italy are short of food and are largely dependent on American imports, and, unless some means is* found of supplying them, they cannot continue to fight effectively. The South is importing from the West and North $600,000,000 to $700,000,000 worth of foodstuffs annually and is thus a tremendous drain on the nation's food resources and, consequently, is now a menace to the nation's safety. A pound of cotton at 25c. will actually buy less foodstuffs now than normally. If the world shortage of foodstuffs becomes acute and the people actually suffer, they will. stop buying clothing. They must buy food as long as it is available. Under such conditions, the price of cotton will fall, but the price of foodstuffs will advance still further (unless regulated by law.) The raising of foodstuffs in the South is accompanied by an improvement of the soil, as legumes are universally used in a food crop rotation. This enables cotton and other crops to be more cheaply raised the following year. The program for increased foodstuffs is identical with the program for preparation for the boll weevil, and an increase of the acreage to foodstuffs and of the production of live stock would be necessary if the world were at peace. Farm laborers are leaving the State in great numbers. Cotton requires more labor than any other crop. Foodstuffs and live stock can be produced with much less laDor. A campaign for food production and conservation will be waged in every county in the State. Practical plans for effectively meeting the situation will be presented. We call upon the people pf South Carolina?black and white, old and young?to enlist as one man in order that this great State may stand forth conspicuous in National service, solidly supporting our great and good President in this hour of National peril. t 4BERG MERC PARTMENT ST01 ABBEVILLE, S.
