j Better Farmin, Will The America] Kill The Kais Chas. A. Whittle, Editorial Manager, The farmer can win this war. Only by famine does the Kaiser hope to conquer-famine by force of the sub marine. If the submarine brings Eng land and France to their knees, beg ging Viread in the humiliation of de feat, the Kaiser will then turn upon the United States. England and France can be saved frota famine by the farmers of tho United States and Canada in spite of the submarine, if they will. The sub marine will sink food that England and France so sorely needs but the submarine can not sink enough to starve our ailies, if the farmer of the United States will raise maximum crops, raise every pound and save ev ery pound of foods he possibly can. It's a fight, therefore, between the farmer of the United States on the one hand and the gaunt wolf of the Kaiser, famine, on the other hand. / If the American farmer can raise enough to allow for the submarine toll and enough more food to place "over there" to feed those who are fighting, then victory is ours. But it's a narrow margin. The whole world is on the verge of star vation. If even a normal crop Ls pro duced la this country' it is not going 40 ,r.-....i o.milich to feed everybody!

At best there is going to be lack. The American farmer must awaken to a serious realization that this is no small task, in fact, it is only a fighting chance. If the American farmer will only realize this, then he must recognize that every blow he makes must count for the utmost. Maximum yields must be striven for as never before. This is no time to leave anything unemphasized that will count for greater yields. Efficiency must oper ate with every act on the farm from breaking the soil deeply to garnering the crops with a saving hand. Thorough preparation of the seed bed may be accomplished with less labor than is customary, by the use of labor saving farm machinery. Liberal and rationa' applicatious of plant food should be made this year. Fartners who never used commer cial fertilizers before should certain ly do so now for the nation's sake.
