A WORLD IN N1EED1 OF F0D
Right now while farmers are planning their planting for this year there are some things best thought over s>me
what seriously.
We said last week that "FOOD and FEED raised at home is the first esseitial of good farming."
Never within the memory of any man has the weal or woe of the world been so dependent upon food. Now,
somehow, (and rather strange to relate) a large part of the rural population of the United States makes no attempt
to raise all or even the greater part of its own food and feed supplies. THIS IS PROBABLY MORE TRUE OF
THE SOUTH THAN ANY OTHER PART OF THE COUNTRY.
BUSHELS

I r ih I 'of ai . . . . 285,000,(00 359,00.0 7 ,000,000
This is only half the story for figures for U4 whole world show the same shortage. Do you wonder prices for
food are so high?
NOW, MR. FARMER, what are we people of Laurils County going to do about it? Your farm plans through
March and April will determine whether you will buy your food and feed next fall and winter from the western
farmer or whether you will sell them to yourself out of your own store house, raised by your own hand.
The farmer who expects to BUY instead of-i4AISE FOOD and FEED this year is taking a long chance with all
the odds against him.
Let Laurens county measure her prosperity next fall in terms of BUSHELS rather than DOLLARS.
