A Wiar Emt ergency Program, adopt ed Jointly by tie State Council of Do fCese, State Food Administration, and Extension lDivislonl, Clemson College, gIves this advice: Our country must not only produce enough food with reduced labor to feed herself, but our allies are de pendent upon uts for a large part of their food supply. Mr. Hoover stated in an address last suimmer: "If we cannot maintain our allies in their necessities, wo cani: expect them to remain constant i war. If their food falls, we shall left alone in the fight, and tile Nvestri line will remove to the Atlantic sea board. It is thus a matter of our own safety and self interest. It Is more than this-it is a miatter of humanity that we give of ouir a buaIn(llice that. we relieve suffering." Many of our farmer cit izens have berii produeinig fcr thir ent l t tire life nearly all of their food supply. This year every armrmust not. 0111y planat 14) feed )imiisl f, but h will also have to provide in a larger measure than ever before for ti l e inl tihe cit kes and towns in the State. The pres ent situation demands that the farm ers in plailtlag ther cro.s Ithis year shall consider the matter from tie op posite standpoint to their usual ie. They must make their money crop sub sidiary to their food crops and ar range for ample food for the popula tion of the enttiie state. South 'Caro lina can easily produce enough to feed herself and grow a large acreage of cotton besides. The first crop that we are urged to increase is the production of corn. As much of the past year's crop as possi ile should be placed at once on :the local market to meet the needs of the state and save demanilds upon tile lim itede transporttionll facilities. Gardens are next considered. There Is no more profitably planted plot of ground tian the home garden. It. can be made an all-year source of fresh, healthful food, and in addition will provide a surpIlus produce for pro sering aindl marketing. Every r.ail able garden lot in tle cities and towns should be itilized in furnishign vege to take care of every potato raised. thing possible should be done to in crease production of Irish potatoes, lima beans and onloiis. Comnunity co-operative cannorler should be de volop)ed wherever practicable. An Increased production of sweet l)oitaoe4 Is urged, and it should be aecompaniled by the building of a suill cient numbdr of potato storage houses t otake care of every potato raised. It is wanton waste to produce a large crop of 'potatoes and through careless harvesthig and poor storage i-ethods allow them to be destroyed by potato rot. Pork production is of paramount Im Portance at. this time, when the Unit ed States is facing a shortage of hogs alld our allies are depending on us to furnish (iantities of pork products much larger than ever before required. There is no more important crolp In the world at the present t ine than the wheat cro1). 10very farmer should plant two acres of wheat to the plow this fall. 'Ile fact that milk is an indispensa ble food for children gives to the dairy pritogran a ilace of prime hu portaice. The sale aId slaughter of good dairy stock should he preveIlted aid every possible step should be talc ('1n to encourage tie' introdutlioll ald bleeding of sitock of high productivity. 'Soutih Carolia does nlot rodiee half the aiounit of eggs consumed in the state. No liens should be killed at this season of the year. A muclh larger hateling thaUn usual should be made In early spring in order to prodluce suifl clent pullets for laying next fall. 1v eryone who has surplus of eggs this I spriig should prese70e the eggs now ]in a solution of water glass. This method of keepIng eggs from spring through winter can be fully recoi mefl(le(l. You can secuire the water glass with (irections for using it from local drug store. We are also urged to increase the production of oats, rye and forage crops, as sorghum, velvet beans, cow peas, peanuts and soy beans. The peas, peanuts and soy beans are valu able as human foods.
