C, '‘■■1 PAGE SEVEN Plant Foods, Feed Crops Clemson, July 2. — There is still opportunity this season for South Carolina farmers to produce more food and feed for home and farm consumption, says D. W. Watkins, di^ rector of the Extension Service, as serting that the changing conditions make It more and more important t and^rgent to^rartlce'TfveHaFhdme farming. ' I To this ena the extension leaders urge plentiful plantings of such food and feed crops as sweet potatoes, cowpeas. sorghumj soybeans, and pearl millet or sudan grass. These several crops have various possi bilities tor food or feed or both, it is stated. ft Sweet potatoes, for example, offer a triple opportunity M_foOd for the farm family, feed for livestock, and sales for cash. Sorghum may be plants for production !>£ syrup and it also may be planted in success ive seedings for feed ‘for livestock. Cowpeas have a doubly possibility in the production of food for the fam ily table and in the production of hay for livestoi^k. Soybeans can be grown for live stock grazing and for hay production and there are certain Varieties that might be produced for human food. The home demonstration agents have recipes for the use of these edible varieties of soybeans. Pearl millet is one of the best crops to plant for grazing for livestock. This crop also may be sown in suc cessive plantings. While pearl mil- .let is consider^ much more desirable for grazing toan sudann grass if mil let seed are not available sudan grass might be planted instead. wawMiicgMWBiaMUHixirii wira w wi DALE CARNEGIE TWO SIDES TO EVERY QUESTION By LYTLE HULL an GETTING THINGS DONE Walter P.

The real American .will tighten his belt to the backbone before he will allow his fellow men in Europe to starve to death. ‘There is cer tainly no more “real American" than the American farmer and he will pull his belt the tightest. He is like that. He alone can stop the thing called “Famine"—and he will stop it if the situation is as dangerous as it appears to be and if he is told of it by the Government in time. Incidentally—sincere but hysteri cal writers must not be allowed to stampede the people into a call on Congress for war; for even if we were prepared for such a venture, humanity would demand that we first insure against the paramount issue of mass starvation, nbefore we took the fatal step.
