Farmers of Chester Must Sow Grain The United States has but one occupation just now. No matter what her aims and activities have been in the past, she has now one tremendous task on her hands?that of winning the war with Germany. Her very existence as a free republic depends upon it. The freedom and happiness of every citizen depends upon a successful prosecution of the war. We make no apology for repeatinp these assertions. It is probable that ev ry newspaper that jroes into every home in this county carries statements of this kind. These truths ha\e been reiterated from lecture platforms and school rostrums and yet they are not believed! We know they are not believed because we know that most of the puw,.!e wh > read these lines are plan- I Mii: to iro about their business just as thouirh there were no war! | We CANNOT im on just as though [ there were no war! Whether we wish ! it or not, lie war in Kitrope is reach- ! nm its hands across the sea and will powerfully elfect every man, woman j and child in Chesterfield county.

If we do not rai.-e these , thinys at home we will K" without. The government takes the position that it would not he reasonable for us to expert the soldiers to raise their own food supplies while t'qrht- i fur ol'K protection. Therefore I ] all the surplus Western erain will j;<> . to feed our soldiers and their French l| and Kntrlish brothers in arms. We can raise our own food and he ji independent of the West ?will we ' | do it? i It is not the purpose of The Ad- | vert ser to tell farmers how to farm nor to tell merchants how to sell , merchandise. But. it is the the duty , of this paper as of every other like . publication to bej; and entreat with I all its readers to do their level best | to meet the present critical situation, j by saving all the food possible and | yrnwinjf all the food possible.

Up to this time, little grain and especially wheat has been seeded There is little time left if we expect to obtain a profitable crop at next harvest time. Surely our people have not fortrotten the call hv nm government for the seeding of an increased acreage in wheat to the amount of thirty-seven per cent over last year. Last year's acreage in the State was 225,000 acres. In oreler to meet the demands of the Government we should seed *if>0,000 acres. '1 his is absolutely necessary if we are to do our part in furnishing the bread supply for our armies and the armies of our allies. We are asking our young men to defend our honor and our liberty, if need be by giving up their lives. If they are willing to die for us, surely our people should be willing to live for them.
