One, of course, Is the increased buyI itiK power of American people ami the other Is the expected provision of largo quantities of foods to Britain. One Wellington source quotes test filiates that half a billion dollars worth of fixnl will bo shipped to Britain ovor the next fifteen months, Including fruits and vegetables, choose, fata of till kinds, vegetable oils and possibly other food products. Plans for Increasing f<xxl production, of certain kinds of food, at any rate, are said to be under consideration In Washington and it is particularly Interesting to this section to note reports that farmers In the South will ^^bably be askod to incrooao their production of foods or some kinds* of food. The South is abundantly able to grow a great quantity of food products of various sorts, and If there Is a satisfactory market for such products on, 1 an. enlarged scale such production would provide welcome opjiortunity for profitable diversion of effort from tlto production of cot toil In excess of current available markets. If there Is to be any broad effort to increase production of foods in the Southv.on a commercial scale, however, national agricultural authorities should seek to glvo the farmers as definite and as accurate information as may bo possiblo as to the kinds of foods In Which the greatest Increased production is llkoly to be desired and needed. The situation of course provides sound reason why every farm In the South should seek to produce its own food, in any event, but for any large-scale efforts to produce foods for tliu markets the farmers should haVo as good advice us can be glvon them as to the kinds of foodH whose production Will need to be increased.?Groenvillo News.
