It is alarming not simply beause this great decrease in thei /heat crop means a very high price or flour, but because the decrease in I ' i /heat acreage is merely indicative of i he general decrease in the acreage j f other crops. The American people; iave not yet awakened to a realiza-j ion of what the agricultural decline j neans. The farms have been drained by the j ities until the production of suffi-j ient food to meet our actual necessi-; ies is so much endangered that it is' I iltojrether probable that the foQd j irices of today will, twelve months' lence, seem to be very cheap. There, a a shortage in wheat; there is also a jig shortage in rye; ana HKeiy 10 oe i shortage in the acreage devoted to rrain and other crops. It is not in the power of the farmjrs to change the situation. With the itmost stretch of heir acivity, and .vorking from dawn till darkness ;hey cannot produce food enough to neet the nation's needs. There is no earthly reason why a farmer should ICE I land to sell i *IE or WIRE I ATLANTIC I CO., INC I NWOOD, S. C. iction Ppople ' II SBj ~ i REPAIRING [ :e in tire building. ZING WORKS, ? irage.

We are face to face with a fai ! situation which has in it the mena i of a real good famine. Blind, indei i are the men who do not recogni I these dangers. A food famine wou I mean socialistic and anarchistic ai bolshevistic unrest, because tl public dpes not understand the cau of these high prices, and does n^ recognize that the rate of city growl is enormously increasing the numb< of food consumption at the expen; of the number of food producers. But it is not merely in the shor age of our own food production i which danger is to be found. Th condition is world-wide. The officii report of the United States Depar ment of Agriculture of April 17 pul lishes a statement from the Unite States Trade Commission at Londoi in which it is said. "All indications point to a work wide shortage of wheat during 192< and a world-wide increase in the d< mand." The details given in this repoi show that England will be forced t depend, to a very large extent, upo America for its wheat. There is notl ing new in this, however, though serves to emphasize the seriousne: of the wheat shortage, of the dangf of prices of food which will stagge the nation this fall, and, perchanc for several years to come. Unless th people are made tuny acquainte with these facts they will not be abl to understand the situation, an< therefore will turn to socialistic an anarchistic agitators. It becomes the duty of every tez cher, preacher, and business mar every newspaper, and every other ir fluence which can enlighten th country as to the facts in regard t world-wide food shortage and es pecially to emphasize the danger o n ir* +V*ie HAll?4"Y*\r Tf i also incumbent upon every intelli pent man and woman to do their ut most to stem the rush , of populatioi from the country to the city and en courage every effort which will con duce to the larger developments o the agricultural interests of Ameri ca.
