Croghan information necessary, eed peanuts for 9 cents d Jots, or 10 cents per Preparedness Chesterfi Chesterfield County's Civic Preparedness campaign was officially launched last Friday morning when three representatives of the State organization adressed a crowded court room of farmers and business people. Prof. Coker had dismissed school and the higher grades marched to the court house in a body. Major YV. J. Tiller, County Farm Demonstration Agent, introduced the speakers and in his introductory remarks said that this meeting is the official starting point for the campaign in Chesterfield County to impress upon the planters the great importance of growing plenty of food crops this year. "But we did not wait for this meeting, however, to get this work under way," said he. "Committees have been appointed and are now at work ;n every township, and every school district will soon he covered. But the work is not. done; it has only just be?un. We are just now in shape to .jo to work in earnest. People yet ire to be made to realize that unless .hey plant food stuffs they will have to do without." He introduced the first speaker, the Rev. H. R. Murchison, of Lancaster. Mr. Murchison said in part: 1 had been wondering what I could do in this crisis to serve mv countrv ind so when called upon by the Governor to aid in this campaign I have gladly done so. I have not come here to tell you yeople how to farm. I cannot tell you how to do certain things, but I - an tell you why you should do cer.ain things. The President of our creat country and the Secretary of \griculture have been trying to impress upon the people the awful need >{ foodstuffs with which we are face .o face and because so many people lo not read or do not take seriously .vhat they do read, is why we hav-> ome to tell you that the situation is ^rave. We people of the South have been old that if we do not raise our own 'ood we will surely face starvation. Vhat we have been buying we can -aise. There is no need for us to sufi'er, but we will if we do not help ourselves. People think provisions will continue to flow in as they have al.vays done. But the merchants probably have the last flour they can get. It is our duty to feed the soldiers .vho have ben fighting our battles. We are under an obligation to feed hem. The draft on our food supply will be great. Some people cannot see the situation as it is. People had rather believe a lie. It has always been so. But you must not be deceived by the unpatriotic at this time, """vv'oc to the unpatriotic man in such I. :?.? as this. He should be sent to prison. ~k God this conSomet.mes I than.. , . ,nu>st for. ilict has come. We had a.? gotten that we are part of a jw1.*nation. It is now being brought home to us. Already tears are beginning to flow. I've seen them at the ;tation when fathers and mothers were saying here's my gift to the nation, as a beloved son went to join .he colors. Surely you and I will not need to be told to plant something for these brave boys to eat. It must be done now. Now is seed lime. Early corn and potatoes must be planted or there will be suffering in a few weeks. In many cas?s it is up to the landlord. The tenant is dependant upon him. How can he expect to pay the prices for food even if he can get it? Some people think the war will end .his summer. I don't know why they I think it, but if it should, prices will I go higher than ever. hpc?ii?o ?n ?r I hungry Europe will look to us for food. You are going to pray the Lord's prayer with greater meaning than ever before, "Give us this day our daily bread." You must prepare to answer that prayer yourselves. This is no day for the shirker or ihe unpatriotic. Your country calls for food; not cotton, but food to eat; you ahd your neighbors will' need food. Here is a double duty, for your own protection and for your country. Civic Preparedness means go home and be economical. Stop the waste of food and raise all the food you can. A man who will not do this is unpatriotic and selfish. He should not be trusted. Women are nearly always patriotic. Kemember the parable of the. wise and folish virgins and the parable of the man who built his house upon the sand. Over in Alabama they did not believe the boll wevil was coming. There are now 150,000 people in th.t^UU ljvjp? Keynote Sou] eld; Three G Mr. Stewart Mr. F. S. Stewart, district agent for Pee Dee District, was the next 1 speaker. He made an excellent and practical address, part of which we quote: When the boll weevil strikes us we will diversify. The banks will close if we don't. But the war his come ahead of the wevil and we rae today face to face with starvation. The South is going wild on cotton. Every thint? is planted in cotton. If we are to raise any food stuffs we will have to cut the cotton acreage. I fail to se the reason for planting cotton this year. Cotton would noL be high at 40 cents a pound. At that price there would be no profit in ti because of the price of foodstuffs. Mr. Stewart then quoted figures showing what a bale of cotton would buy at the prevailing prices. The alarming thing, however, is that plenty of money will not buy food. Can't you realize that all of the world will get to the fod in the West before we do? Our money will not induce freight trains to roll this way. All the foodstuffs must and will move toward Europe. Mr. Stewart then made an estimate Of l)l<> Vull.O of ? -w.il ?? %..V VI ft* VWUWII V 1UJI ut ? -i cents per pound, the highest that can be expected. He compared this with corn and velvet beans, followed by oats, showing that this year there would be about $25 more profit per acre on the corn than cotton. He said it would be profitable now to plow up cotton and plant corn, soybeans, peanuts and velvet beans. Cotton is said to be fool proof, but so is the velvet bean. If you plant velvet beans you are bound to get a crop. It takes about 12 to 13 months to make a crop of cottTi with no time to grow anything else on the land, but with corn you can get three crops in one year, all of which will bring higher prices this year than cotton. Mr. Dabb*. Mr. E. W. Dabbs, of Sumter, president of the State Farmers' Union, was introduced as a practical farmer. He spoke with the bluntness and energy characteristic of the framer who was sure of his ground and was discussing an important subject. Me began his address with the statement that we are now facing the greatest crjsis since 1865. Ikspoke of the different mottoes adopted by the State Civic Preparedness organization end some of the county organizations. "Service for All," now familiar to everyone in the State, is the slogan of the Civic Preparedness League of the State. "Grow Fod or Starve," is one of the counties' mottos, while "Save or Starve," is another. lie suggested as a fine working motto for Chesterfield county the openvnn .words of Major Tiller, i "^r-donn; .Vlv"' he work is not~ST,7c , uRTiy just begun." These words were later adopted as Chesterfield county's motto. Mr. Dabbs said that in Atlanta not long ago Mr. Vrooman had said thai the food situation in the South was giving the government more concern than anything else. The feeding of this great agricultural territory is giving the government more worry than the building of ships, the making of guns or the raising of an army. This country, that can produce its own food seems destined to be a liability to the United States government in the war with Germany instead of a resource. This is not a theory but a condition. There will be hungry people in Chesterfield county before duly. If I people do not take bed the conditions will son be terrible. People have contended that they can buy cheaper than they can raise, j That doctrine has ruined many a farmer in the South and kept many poor, but now the situation is acute. If you don't raise food you will go without. The government will be compelled to take every pound of food from the West. Even if there was food to be had out there, there | would be no cars to bring it here. All rolling stock will be engaged in this great fight. The mcri-hnntu con't If you don't grow fodo you will go hungry. You should plow up the best cotton land if ulready seeded to cotton and plant it in corn. Let the cocton go while you plant corn and peas. You can't overproduce food this year. Never attain will cow peas sell for 30 cents a bushel. You will be able to sell your surplus as easily as you can sell cotton. Have no fear, the government is organizing to buy everything you can rafee to eat. Carl Vro^man says cptton tl * lo niter *M^-' ^Talcing Cardui today. It may fe very medicine you need. * tided In Dod Speeches is hopelessly wedded to his idols who continues to plant HO acres of cotton to the plow. You can't tell what cotton will do. It may bring 9 0/ 10 cents in the fall. The South should let the wor'd know that she can and will feed herself. You can seed to corn and beans cheaper than cotton. The policy of raising any one crop to buy everything is fallacious. 1 know what I am talking about. I have farmed for forty years. Many of you are more slaves than if you were prisoners. No man is .i. Li i 1 i ' me wtiu is in ul'ui, uuunu uy criminal process. Mr. Dabbs here called attention to the recommendations of the Sumter county organization: "We suggest that for each plow one-half acre of Early Dent corn be planted at once in best land near lot, and that this corn be fertilized when planted and cultivated rapidly, to supply food for man and beast in July and August. "We also suggest that every family plant ?l goodly quantity of six weeks' map beans, which is the quickest vegetable that can be grown, and owing to its protein contents largely takes ihe place of meal, which price is now prohibitive to any but the well to do, and what is more to the point there will not be sufficient supply at any J price." There is not a man in this county who cannot have a garden. The man who raises his own food is a patriot and is going to be given a badge of honor by the Governor that he can hand down to his children as evidence that he did his part to help the government win this great war. Are we going to admit that the farmers and slaves of 1805 were better farmers thap we? Their smokehouses were full when Sherman came through burning them. My father said the man who raise-? only cotton is a fool. He also said that when you want to borrow money you go to a man who raises corn. That holds true to-day. The man who lives at home has money to lend. A man who doesn't grow corn js a fool. A man who can't grow corn can't pay for corn. And there is the boll wevil just n little way otf. Some people say it can not cross the Savannah river. Well, maybe it can't. We know what i big river the Savannah is, but it crossed the Mississippi. Now are you going to do anything? We are not asking any big thing. It is only a little matter to grow your own food stuffs. After Mr. Dabbs was through speaking Mr. Tiller asked those who intended to grow some food to raise Iheir hands. A large number responded. Mr. Tiller then told how the committes were all at work over the county and the result whether we are to have anything to eat or not will s.ou'vrest with the people. - VOVS.TJI^W ugUUK.

This meeting was first planned to begin last n'ght, but owing to the fact that the meeting in which Mr. Tillman is now engaged has reached a stage that it is thought best to continue it for a few days longer, Mr. Tilli n will not reach Chesterfield until the first Sunday in May. The Rev. W. S. Meyers in last week's Southern Christian Advocate, has this to say of Mr. Tillman's work at a church near Columbia: "W,. v. i? > - - i, v imvc j usl t-iuscu one oi tho greatest revivals ever held in Columbia Circuit. Brother Charley D. Tillman did the preaching and Rood preaching it was, too. He was assisted in the music by his daughter, Miss Jewell Tillman, who is one of the finest pianists I ever heard. She and Miss Mary Kast, who also assisted, have excellent voices. "Brother Tillman's preaching blended with song, attracts, convinces and sends conviction to the heart of the sinner with force. Scores turned to God. Over one hundred stood the last night to attest to the saving power o f Christ." MRS. P. G. RAYFIELD Mrs. P. G.
