Small Grains Will Do. Urgent Feed Job Clemwm. Sept.- "Kvery farmer real izes that more feed must be. produced in South Carolina if our present live stock population is to be adequately fed in order to produco the milk, eggs and meat ho vltaTly nc*eded on the tarirjH and in the war service," saya il» A.

"Nearly every farmer also understands that our acreage of T-roplai^ cannot l)e materially incn us ed, and that the nmn labor ne.-ded to handle additional acres is not avail- abU*^ ‘A Huhstantlai increase in small grain acreage appears to l)e the. an swer to the problem. ‘Small grain crops: can be increased without ifi- creasing the acreage of cropland, and they can also be handled efficiently by making full use of available farm labor and machinery/’ . < . Small grains fill several needs, "Mr. Woodle explains. In addition to sup plying the necessary grain, they furn ish excellent winfer cover to^ prevent leaching and erosion; they also furn ish winter and spring grazing, silage, and spring hay. Winter and spring rains usually assure plenty of. mois ture foF-' good sniall grain crops. Declaring that most farmers under stand the value of good seed of adapted varietlee, the advantage of heavier seeding rates, the Importance of sf^ treatment, » firm jeedUed, and proper fertilization, Mr. Wobdle concludes; "The problem facing South Carolina farmers right now Is not what to do, or how to do it, but* simply getting the Job dQhe.’^ , • .

Douglas MacArthur re- enxphasized • the pattern of his stra tegic battle-plans in the Southwest Pacific. Assailing the principle of “island hopping’’ — that is, taking one island after the other—General MacArthur declared: "“Key points must, of course, be taken, but a wise choice of such wryi obviate the need for storming the mass of islands now in enemy possession . . . (which) is not my idea of how to end the war as soon and as cheaply as possible.’’ Replying to talk he would be shelved, Gen.
