"The corn coming in from outside t
so
will leave a surplus in our barns for
rats and weevils to consume, and besides,
the unnecessary imports are
putting an ext^a burden upon trans- ar
^ tation facilities which we have no , is
rijht to demand. It seems to us that; lo
patriotism demands that the farmers I "I
all over the State supply the towns ; PC
with corn, and it also seems to us mat a
present circumstances do not warrant ; er
a higher price than $2.00 per bushel at
to the farmer."
The above paragraph is from an ad- j
dress to the farmers of the State j
signed by D. R. Coker, chairman se
State Council for.Defense and urging , bs
i
the farmer to grow food stuffs and gc
ctating that a camppVn would be | ci
started soon for that purpose. J ^
The food administration at Wash- jw
ino-ton and the president have Issued I cc
an order that the man who buys 25 j at
pounds of flour must also buy 2"> jw
pounds of meal. And this applies to \ su
the farmer who may have a thousand j w
bushels of corn in his crib. Of course
\
the administrator may say that the sc
farmer can sell his corn and then buy v
]
meal. Where is the sense in requlr- P?
ing him to haul his corn to town and
<?pll it and buv meal and haul it back
__ . .
when he could take his cojp to the
mill and have it ground into* meal. ^
Wherein does it conserve transporta- ,
tion facilities to pursue any such policy.
Why make him sell his corn for
$2 a bushel and pay $2.50 for meal
\ '
besides hauling it town ana having
the railroads to haul the meal when
he could take his corn to the mill ^
and have his meal ground. Do you
\ think such a policy is going to induce
the farmer to grow more corn. Do j
you think he should do so? If you dn
you are entitled to another think.
"We did not think that this rule of
"buying an equal quantity of meal when j
you bought flour applied to the man i
i
who grew corn and had- plenty on 0f
hand, so we called up Mr. Elliott an ! mi
asked him and he said it did and must
+6'
be strictly adhered to. We were nnep
_der the impression it applied to the ^
man who had no meal and that a lit- j
tie discretion and common sense! T1
i
would be applied. Mr. Elliott stated he
in his talk at Xemberrv that the au-;
I at
thorities were appealing to the pat- j
rinticm nf the r>pnn!p nnrl would have ! ,
~~ ma
to trust the people. | sc
There needs to be applied a whole a
lot of more commen pense in tho ad- E'
, T t
nyfffis:raticn 01 ti'-e ruies ana reguiu- ; ^
tions and the promulgating of tlie!
same. rt<
-OT- W
Mr. Coker's statement that the i ^
farmpr should ?mt>T)lv tha tOWn DeODie !
with corn and not leave it in the i
y {
cribs for weevils and rats is good
sense, but where is the good judghe
ment in requiring the farmer who has ja
corn to buy meal if lis wants to buy
a little flour. Even if he sells hi3 m;
corn and buys meal the meal has to j di
be shipped and it does not help to j *=
release the congested condition of tlie "
transportation companies. Let us ap- S
ply a little common sense in the ad- 8
ministration of the rules to conserve S
food and fuel.
That was a pretty good cartoon of 1 p
C. A. David's in The Greenville News!!
reo^ntly showing the road to Camp ?
Sevier. And it gives a pretty good |g
idea of other- roads. We notice that; |
on the roads leading- to Camp Gordon p
from Atlanta they are making cordu- j u
roy roads. That remainds us of some |g
road building away back yonder: P
i HI
when we were younger than we are 9
now. Well the thing to do is as soon J
as the roads dry a little use the spli*' j|
log drag.

The cotton states official advisory
marketing board was formally organized
at a meeting in New Orleans of
state commissioners of agriculture,
marketing commissioners and presidents
of farmers' unions in Alabama,
Arkansas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Texas,
Georgia and Louisiana. The commissioner
of agriculture of Georgia, J.
J. Brown, was elected president.
The United States Steel Corporation
paid to the federal government more
than iialf its earnings in the final quarter
oi 1917, according to a statement
made public by that corporation. Total
earnings for that period amounted
to i 24,12o.
Two men held up R. V. Young, as- i
1
sistant manager of tue Calcasieu A a- I
i
tional bank at Oakdale, La., near Al- j
exandria, compelled him to open The j
vault and escaped with about eleven j
thousand dollars. The robbers escap- j
ed, and there is no clue.
Senator Tillman, chairman of the j
naval affairs committee of the Unit- j
ed States senate, has introduced a i
bill designed to increase the number j
of naval aviators from 350 to 10,000
and raise "the enlisted personnel of
the navy to 180,000.
From El Paso, Texas, comes the
news that forty angered Mexicans had

part of El Paso. Soldiers and policemen
armed with rifles were rushed
to the scene. After firing several hundred
shots the Mexicans retreated
across the river. A company of United
States troops on guard at the Santa
Fe street international bridged fired
at the retreating Mexicans, but it is
not known if any were hit.
A Virginia, Minn., dispatch says that
a squad of deputy sheriffs departed for
the north woods to co-operate with a
detachment of the Fourth Minnesota
regiment in preventing a threatened
outbreak among timber workers. Rumbling?
of disorder followed recent distribution
of T YV YV 1 i *r>rp tnrp nrintorl I
in Seattle through lumber camps between
Virginia and the Canadian border.
Division of the country's bituminous !
coal fields into twenty districts as the |
first step toward instituting a zone j
system of coal distribution is under j
way by the fuel administration. The I
boundaries for seven of the districts
already have been established and
Fuel Administrator Garfield has named
a representaive in each. I
? ;i
WaftfiinsftoriThe
American people are now on a !
war bread diet as a part of a war ra- '
j
tioning system prescribed by President !
Wilson and the food administration. |
"Victory bread," the food administra- j
tion calls it.
Reduced rations are asked by the j
food administration for the purpose j
of creating a larger export surplus of J
food for the European allies, and cur
tailment will be accomplished largedw j
by voluntary effort.
Manufacturers of macaroni, spaghet- ti,
crr.ckers and breakfast foods, pie, j
cake and pastry will be permitted to j
buy only 70 per cent of their last year's 1
purchases.
The food administration will purchse
for the army and for the allies, 30 per
cent of the flour output and out of this
store will fill emergency requirement,
if stocks run low in any part of the
counry.
There never has been a similar body
of men to lead as clean lives as the j
American soldiers in France, General j
Persh:.ng said in a caoiegram to sec- j
retary Baker in reply co inquireis as
to the truth of reports of immoderate
drinking among the men.
General Pershing informs American I
mothers that they "may rest assured j
that th.fir sons are a credit to them '
and to the nation and thev may lock j
forward to the proud day when on the j
battlefield these splendid men will
shed a new luster of American manhood."
The freight embargo will probably
continue until milder weather permits
railroads to begin to move the great
quantity or general ireignt accumuiai- i
ed during the period of winter storms, '
sleet and snow.
To reduce railroad mileage in haul- I
ing of coal some sort of a zone system j
of coal distribution probably will be i
put into operation. Plans for such am j
arrangement have already been discussed.
i
Quotas, assigned to each state in
the three weeks' campaign fo: a voluntary
ship building reserve of 250,000
men were announced by the department
of labor at Washington.
Solicitor Lamar of the postoffice department
holds that the federal stat
