About Wheat I :'olonel .loiii II. Wharton, the sena tor from Laurens, in a statesmanlike utterance in The Laurens Advertiser declares: 'Anybody with foresight ca see t hat bread means more to the~ world now than we have ever known before. Why should I leave my chance for wheat bread next year to uncer tain conditions (there are so many ahead of us) when I can be certai about the matter by having some a home of my own raising? The Lau rens county farmer who fails to do his best in land, fertilizer and attention h c'ertainlly very slow to see is plair' duty not only to his country, but to his wyife and children." A. ii. Moore, another Laurens farm11 (r. says: "Yes. I'll sow wheat.

Any other policy seells fool. ish, to say nothing of being unpatriot c." C. If. Irolt sees the situation very elearly: ''The Government is asking our young mien to go to the front. We know what we think of one who won'l willingly go. It is asking of the oldet clne: n otin11 more iurIent right unu than wee plan to make our bread a home.
