NATION HEAD!
ALARMING
i My Richard tl. 13dmonda.)
Discussing tho need for Increased
food production, and for greatly in
creusod food conservation, Richard
H. Kdmonds, editor of thc Manufac
turers' Record, recently said:
.This nation is heading directly
toward ti possible food famine of
alarming proportions, and as our suc
cess in the war will depend upon
food ii is vitally Important that our
people should know the real situation
and face the issue.
"Long liefere the beginning of the
Ku ropes li war there were evidences
of a decrease in food production in
proportion to the population. We
?ire raising less whenl than we did
sixteen years ago, notwithstanding
?in increase during that time of 20,
000,000 to 25,000,000 people in our
population. This year's wheat crop
is 88,000,000 bushels les? than thc
crop of 1001. We have about 15,
.ititi,ooo loss head of sheep than we
bad some fourteen or fifteen years
ago. North Carolina, for instance,
lins several hundred thousand iiead
of sheep less thou it had as far back
as 1800. We have 8 per cent loiSs
hogs lhan we had only a year ago.
We hiive some 7,000,000 or S.000,
000 less beef cattle than wo had
some ten or twelve years ago. To a
large extent the reason for this de
cline in food production is due to the
enormous movement of population
from the country to the cities. Be-,
1 ween 1900 and 1910 city population
Increased by about 12.000,000, while
country population increased only 4,
000,000, and the growth since I DI 0
in city popal; lion has been even more
rapid. In 1SS0 only 29. per cent of
the population of this country lived
In cities. Now about 50 per cont are j
city il wellers. We have been, in
lliis way. steadily and enormously
increasing the number of food con
sumers and lessening the number of
food producers. Repeatedly during
the Inst few years I have called at
tention to tho evident outcome of 1
this trend Of population away fro lil
the country to the cities, lt is one
of the great economic issues in the
nation's life.
"My persistent advocacy for years'
of good roads was largely based on j
the fact that until we give to the
man in the country the same ad- j
vantages of good roads and ease of
communicating with his neighbors,
and of hauling his sturt, which the !
city dweller has in improved streets, I
there will bo a continued movement
of population away from tho country.
If there were no other reason for
good roads than this economic issue,
il would be supremely Important for j
individual States and for the national
government to do their utmost to- '
ward the encouragement of building ,
good roads as tho only possible way
in which to guarantee increased food
production. So long as country life,
hy reason of Impassable roads of
sand or mud, ls less attractive, espe
cially to the women and children,
than the city, so long will the trend
of population be away from the coun
try, and there is no power on earl'.,
to change this condition except by
making country life attractive
through tho building of good roads.
This is as important in war times as
lu peace, for road building must go
on in order to secure increased food
production as well as to supplement
the railroads, which have completely
broken down.
"But to return to tho decreasing
food supply of the country. Because
the total grain and food crops this
year exceeded by about a billion
bushels the crops of last year, wo
are apt to forget that last year's
crops fell short of the lf?l;> yield by
nearly 1,100,000,000 bushels. This
year's yield, therefore, does not near
fill up the vacuum created by tho
yield of liilt?. Moreover, while the
country has had a large increase in
corn, inuch of this cereal, mainly In
the West, was seriously damaged by
early frosts, and its feeding value
lias therefore been greatly decreased.
There was also an enormous short
ago in the hay crop, amounting to
about 19,000,000 lons, as compared
with IP If'. The aggregate wheat
and corn Crops of 191,6 and 15)17
was nearly f>00,000,000 bushels loss
than the aggregate of 1914 and 19 1?">,
notwithstanding the enormous in
crease in consumption by reason of
the war. Unfortunately there has
been an effort to minimizo the seri
ousness of this situation, and to ?re
nlo the impression that this year's
crops would insure an ample food
supply, intentionally or ignorantly, I
know not which, overlooking the va
cuum created hy the tremendous
shortage In the yields of 19 16.
"Notwithstanding the seriousness
of tho situation the winter wheat
acreage for the present season ls only
4 per cent greater than that of last
year, or a gain of 1,600.000 acres, of
which more than lj)00,000 was the
South's share of the* Increase To
this small Increase In aeroago is
added tho alarming fact that tho con
[NG TOWARD
FOOD FAMINE
ditton as reported by the United
states Department of Agriculture or
December 1 was 79.3 per cent, ai
compared with tho 10-yoar avorag<
of 89.3 per cent. Possibly tylnd na
turo, which covered the ea/th will
an abundant layer of snow, with Iti
protecting and fertilizing power or
wheat, will come to our assistance bj
Improving the wheat condition li
this way, but a billion-bushel croi
next year would bo far below oui
actual needs and those of our allies
and the allies' needs aro our need:
just as much ns aro the needs of th?
people of this country, indeed, lt h
incumbent upon us to feed the allioi
before wo feed ourselves, bocnuso foi
three years they have been battling
against tremendous odds, pourlnf
out millions of lives and billions ll
treasure, tn our behalf as well a:
their own. J
They have saved us from destruc
tlon, and duty and even selfishnesi
itself should compel us not merely t(
divide tho last crumb with the allies
but if nece8asry, to give the las)
ern mb to them and sacrillco ourselves
in ordor to save ourselves. Until th<
seriousness of this situation ls full}
realized by thc people of all classe!
and all sections, until the import
ance of sacrificing in ordor to bring
about food conservation is taughi
from the pulpit, is taught In everj
school and proclaimed day after daj
In every newspaper, we shall not
fully comprehend tho danger of \
famine which wo arc facing, and
which can only be prevented by th*
utmost conservation. We cannot, oil
hand, increase tho amount of food In
the country, but we can, by extreme
care, conservo that food and make
it an the farther, livery spoonfuLol
sugar, every pound of flour, or beef
or mut lon or pork wasted, or oven
unnecessarily used, ls prolonging thc
war and making certain the death ot
more of our soldiers than would
otherwise have lo lose their lives In
our defense.
"Some weeks :?KO I listened to a
stirring appeal by a man abundantly
able to present the subject before a
religious convention, showing how
the conservation of (lour and meats
and migar were absolutely essential
to our winntg tho war. It so hap
pened that two ministers w.ho-'sat
within a few feet of tho speaker sat
beside me at a dinner shortly there
after, Indeed, one of them that very
night. Tho latter, though he had
heard tho appeal for saving sugar,
emptied spoonful after spoonful of
sugar Into his coffee until there was
more undissolved sugar left In his
cu j) than the coffee could possibly
take up. The other put into one
small cup of coffee three big lumps
of sugar, emptied that cup, and put
Into one-half a cup two large lumps.
These men thought they had been
Impressed with the presentation of
the need of conservation, but, as a
matter of fact, it had not touched
their souls, it had not reached their
conscience, and they are typical of a
very large proportion of our people.
I cr." speak from experience when I
say that no matter how much sugar
ono may have loved to have In his
coffee, he can absolutely cut out the
use of sugar and soon become accus
tomed to drinking his coffee without
a particle of sugar. The saine ls true
of many other things which we have
boen accustomed to Indulge In. We
cnn lessen tht use of flour broad by
the means of substitutes, no matter
how much we may have loved flour
bread. Wo can cut out to a largo ex
tent the use of beef, mutton, lamb
and pork products of all kinds, no
matter bow much we love to indulge
in these .things. Tho question ls
morely whether we propose with our
teeth to dig the graves of our sol
diers, whether wo proposo to lot our
appetites control ns to our individual
damnation, and the damnation of thc
country, by Germany's success, or
whether In a spirit of self-sacrifice,
and of self-control wo aro going to
do our very utmost to lessen tho con
sumption and the wasto of food,
knowing well that food will settle tho
destiny of our soldiers, our nation
and civilization."
