OF MUCH IMPORTANCE
To Farmers, Bankers and Business
Men in the South.
For nearly three years I have done
my best to warn you to prepare for
the present emergency. For years
we have tried to encourage diversification
in the South as a basis for!
greater safety, both agricultural
and economic. Since the war began
in Europe we have urged safe farming.
When prices were low you did
well and made great progress. When
cotton went to eighteen cents and
over you made large profits because J
of your progress in safe farming, |
but some were tempted to go back ,
to cotton. In common with many i
other men, I have tried to warn you j
of that danger. Cotton has not
been high but has only increased in j
somewhat less proportion than food
and feed.
Now the crisis is here! This great j
nation must arouse herself for a:
/ mighty struggle for liberty. People!
without food and armies without j
rations are conquered before they j
can begin to fight. Our greatest
safety now lies in food production
and in saving the waste products.
If the South is to be strong she
must have food. If this country is
to be strong she must be well fed
and have an abundance to sustain
those friendly people who are even
now fighting our battles for liberty
and democracy.
Transportation may be disturbed.
Your own defense requires you to
produce and conserve your food supply.
Don't fail now! It is a national
problem of defense as important as
men and guns, ships and cannon.
Business men, if seed is short canvass
the situation like patriots and
get the seed for farmers. Arrange
the credits. Furnish farmers seed !
corn, soy beans, cowpeas, velvet
beans, peanuts, sorghum, etc, at
cost. See that all things necessary
to help farmers are done. Of course,
we must produce cotton, but with a
moderate acreage and a good season
there will be enough. Do not sacrifice
acres of food to increase your
acreage in cotton. Look ahead! Get
the warehouses, the feed mills, shellers,
cleaning stations, creameries,
packing plants, etc, ready. You
. l _1 J
must yo your suaic auu wu^iou
with farmers. They must do their
share and tend the crops faithfully.
? Farmers, in your unions, clubs
and other organizations, resolve to
use the best methods now. When
the nation faces a crisis we must
have the best farming in its history.
Labor is short, hence the best tools
and all labor-saving devices must be
used to make it possible for every
farm laborer to cover as much
ground as passible and do the most
efficient work. Farm women and
girls have important work to do in
the garden, the orchard, in raising
poultry, and especially in canning,
preserving and conserving our food
supply.
Your county agent and home
demonstration agent become more
important officers now than ever
before. Your State extension division
at the agricultural college
will have still more important duties.
Look to these for counsel and advice
in this new burden of extra
work. The county agent will, without
doubt, have new duties and responsibilities
in the near future.
Poi-morc onrt hnsiness men. save
the breeding stock. Don't sell cows,
heifers, mares, sows, gilts, ewes or
hens. Keep them for breeding. If
the breeding stock is sold where will
you get the means to supply the
meat of this country?
Let us forget all past difficulties
and join in a mighty effort to feed
the South. What can you do in the

' o W eak, N ervous, Hun-Down Women
So. Cumberland, Md.?"For a long
time I suffered from a nervous breakdown.
I could not eat or sleep and was
co weak I could hardly walk. My husband
heard about Vinol and got me to
try it. Now I have a good appetite,
sleep soundly and am well and strong.
Every nervous, weak, run-down woman
should try Vinol.?Mrs. D. W. Kerns.
Vinol is a delicious cod liver and iron
tonic, without oil, which we guarantee
to create a healthy appetite, aid digestion
and make pure healthy blood.
