South Carolina must feed itself this year. So must every other Southern State. ( ;
The Charleston Cotton Exchange, along with the other Cotton Exchanges of the South, joins with Secretary of Agriculture Houston and Mr. Hoo
ver, the Food Administrator, in appealing to the South to produce not only the food it needs for itself, but food for our boys in France and for Amer
ica's Allies in the Great War. ^ 1
It is the judgment of the cotton men of the South that the interests of the South and of the nation require this year that food acreage should be
secured first and that then such acreage should be planted in cotton as can be cultivated and gathered under present labor conditions.
The world needs cotton, of course ? but it needs food move. Without victory no man can say what the value of cotton will be. Without food there
can be no victory. f .. _ - __1
There is a widespread impression that the South, led- on by 30-cent cotton, is on the verge of sacrificing its food acreage in order to plant every
..... ? . .*
asailanle acre this year in cotton. - v -
The Government, not only through Secretary Houston, but through Mr. Hoover and Secretary McAdoo, is urging the cotton growers not to do this.
The leading Cotton Exchanges of the South have gone on record as hoping that the cotton growers will heed the appeal of the Government at Wash
i ?* I '
mgton and - . ? ' ? ?
Plant More Foodstuffs _ ^
/s j , ' . ^ y vv, -
, ^ , . r/ z - -???
The Charleston Cotton Exchange believes that thLs is the course jjf patriotism and of sound business sense. It feels that it is only necessary to call "
the attention of the planters to so important a question in order for them to do their full duty in aiding America to win the war.
