Serious Situation Among many facts being set forth from various sources to ; properly arouse the people for ; preparation in the face of war, The DeKalb New Era sounds this timely note of warning, which is worthy of resolute, united action: Never before in the lifetime of the present generatioh has a more serious situation confronted us than faces us now. It is the Ques tion of providing an ample food supply. This old, happy-go-lucky, hit or miss policy to which we have been so long accustomed will not do now. We are enter ing a war with the greatest milita ry nation in the world and the struggle may be long and desper ate. The world’s supply of food is lower than we have ever knowrrit, owing to bad crops and the with drawal of millions of men from farm work all over the world. The food supply of a nation in war is as important as its muni lions supply.' The army of food producers in the fields renders a service no lelfs valuable than the army of soldiers in the trenches And, as a matter of plain common sense and self protection, it is the manifest duty of every individual to produce his own food supply as for as possible. The planting season is here. The weather conditions have been very unfavorable, and that is all the more reason why adequate steps should be taken when the opportunity for farm work does arrive. The national government at Washington is urging city people to utilize their lots and and all available vacant ground for the growing of food crops. “If-national policy decrees that there should be a big increase in our acreage and yields per acre of food crops,” the statement says, “then the nation as a whole, and not the farmers as a class, should and must assume the major part of the risk involved. The depart ment's urging each section of the country to become as nearly as practicable agriculturally intle pendent. This is good policy in time of peace, and will be a vitally important policy in time of war, when our transportation systems necessarily would be chiefly oc cupied with the transportation of soldiers and war supplies. “It is the patriotic duty of every city boy, girl and woman who can, to transform his or her yard, or some near by vacant lot, into a gar den, each square foot of which will grow two or possibly three crops during the coming summer. More over, the average small farmer and his family owe it to their country, as well as to themselves to raise at least 10U chickens, to keep one cow or more, at least enough hogs ! for home consumption, and per haps a little bunch of sheep. ‘The cheapest, most profitable, and quickest known means of in creasing general production is by the use of lime. There are few sec tions in the United States without some local supply of limestone, marl, or oyster shells. If every farmer in the country would applv from two to four tons crushed limestone per acre to all his sour land, our national supply of bread stuffs this year would be augment ed by a surprising number of mil lion bushels.” A-high official, experienced in the distribution of food supplies in the warring countries m Europe says: “The first and necessary thing is to plant potatoes, turnips, car rots and corn on farms and also on every available city lot. The same measures should be taken for animal food and for industrial agricultural products, such as cot- ton. If America goes to war it must understand that the war will last perhaps two years longer. Germany’s agricultural mobiliza tion has kept her alive and light ing. Speaking of the situation, R. H. Edmonds, one of the best posted men in the United States, says: Tt is hardly possible to get back to normal prices of foodstuffs tor some years to come, even if the European war should end this year. It is absolutely certain that this country cannot stand a reduc tion in crops so enormous as was the shortage last year, without serious results in the way of high prices. We will go into the new crop year practically bare of foodstuffs, as compared with the surplus which we h ive through all the past carried from one year into the next. It would therefore take exceptionally big crops of grain and potatoes and vegetables generally to fill up the vacuum, which has been created, in order to bridg about norma! food condi tions. If, through unfortunate weather conditions, or through failure to plant a large acreage, vve should have another short crop year in 1917, vve would face what might practically be called famine conditions of food. It is absolutely essential to the nation’s welfare that these facts should be emphasized and reiterated so that the people may understand the causes which are affecting prices and the necessity of raising larger supplies.” CASTOR IA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears Signature of -?i EASTER SALEiS NEW SPRING GOODS Which brings a Saving to You of 1-3 to 1-2 Two Groups of Fashionable New Spring Suits sl2 45 and sl4-95 Smart looking suits —just arrived from the New York fashion centers.

You pay less for Buckeye Hulls because you pay only for hulls. The lint is sold separately. Other Advantages Buckeye Hulls are 100 per cent roughage. They do not contain lint which has no food value. You get 2000 lbs. of real rough age to the ton —not 1500. H. S. Parkham, Greenville, Ga., say a: “I feed about fifty cows and calves and use Buckeye Hulls very successfully, i Buckeye Hulls as good feed and cheaper feed than the old style hulls.” To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the halls thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls. Book of Mixed Feeds Free Gives the right formula for every combination of feeds used in the South.
