The critical food situation in the country makes it absolutely imperative for < every family to have the largest possible supply of vegetables for immediate consumption and for canning, ana we hope that every employee in the < State who is made idle by the Fuel 1 Adiminristra&ion order will improve I *iis opportunity for gardening.

This is due to the largely in- . a eased demands from the governrr.t. to the damaging of a large poron of the corn crop of the northwest I v the early frost, to the injury o" j winter wheat and oat crop dv!-1, ?e unp^ecedentedly severe winter ^ nd to the' tremendous losses from . eezing in transit and in homes to I canned goods, fruits, potatoes and ther perishable food products. The congested conditions of the J- - c/ ?/ ? +f i-vn o t?o qr r?ontlv MlirUclU^ in U ^ O D C X V/ <LA U1 V Vkwv*^ j slaying the movement of food, and | ; seems likely that acute shortage of j ^ e~tain food products may become* ^ revalent (before long in our towns | eL nd cities. Should such a condition 1 rise, the non-agricultural populate j r" >n of the State will have to depend ; ** argely Cn the- reserve food supplies j or n the farms, and the farmers should i Pj ealize that it may be up to them at m n early date to release part of their j U1 urolus supplies of corn, potatoes, 1'6 ork, etc., for the relief of the towns. |10 Ve know of instances where merch-i^ i T n*s have been forced to import meal j nd corn from outside the State after o{ ffering the farmers $2.00 per bushel j cc 3r corn and being unab'e to induce i hem to bring it in. The corn pro- j ^ uction of South Carolina for 1917 j0^ 61 [IitCL ea.mi-X}Joj .-CiaiuuiixojduG SBAV j 3n bushels, and this figure is an ade~ JCc ruate supply for t^e entire human, 'e I f r * - ' - - -e j-1 c<(n(a I nci animal popmaucn oww.

'at ides, the unnecessary imports are, utting an extra burden upon translortation facilities which we [have i 10 right to demand. It seems to us tiat patriotism demands that the far- p< aers all over the State supply the owns with corn, and it also seems to p< s that present circumstances do not rarrant a higher price than $2.00 per C< >ushel to the farmer. When we remCf mber that the price to the western or Ms wkeat nas Deen nxea at oniy lightly higher than this figure, it p wuld seem evident that we hare no ight to demand more, eren if oir- P urastances made it possible to do so. i ? Those who have recently familiari:ed themselves with the general food p lituation in the United States are oon-inced that the only safe policy for O >ur farmers to pursue in 3918 is to >end every effort to the production g ? - - ? ? j * >f the State.
