Commissioner Brown Urges Food Acreage. It is anticipated 1 hat the State Council on Food Production and Conservation appointed by Gov ernor Harris and continued by Dorsey, will be called into action again early in the coming year. There will be occasion and need for its service. Commenting upon the impor tant work before this council, Commissioner J. J. Brown said : “We must urge now and con tinue to urge that in making pre parations tor the new crops, farm ers do not sacrifice food and feed acreage to cotton. There will be a great temptation to do it, but it will be the most serious mistake we can make. “We are experiencing now the distress of a sugar shortage, and short supplies in other lines. It will be the same tning with other food and feed products, unless we make what we need at home. We should do better in 1918 than we did in 1917. “Let me call upon the members of the State Council on Food Pro duction and Conservation now to exert every effort and influence they can throughout their respec tive communities, to iiufuce the farmers to make all possible food crops, planting even a greater acreage than this year. They should be busy now, for we are going to need every pound of food we can raise, both for man beast. “If there were no food to be had, dollar cotton could not buy it. So let’s make the food and have our cotton as a surplus. It will then bring the price that we feel il ought to bring.” Deliverence of Jerusalem. Since the poem was first penned in the sixteenth century hundreds of thousands of Christian believ ers have sung the lines, “Jerusa lem, My Happy Home, When Shall I Come to Thee.” Wonderfully tender and inspir ational are the sentiments of the old hymn. Fate, destiny, providence, has flung back the dark curtain of Mohamedanism that has shrouded Jerus ilem for a number of censu suries, and the hosts of Christen dom are now looking to the res toration of the sacred city with its holy places to the possession of Christian believers. Not they alone, but those of the Mosaic dispensation likewise read with much thrill the taking of Jaffa by the Biitish, Jaffa being the port of Jerusalem. Ezekiel, in his vision, saw a man going forth with a measuring rod in his hand, and, upon inquiry, found that he had been sent to measure the bounds of the restored Jeru salem that should be as a city without waiis for the multitude of inhabitants thereof. The shades of the Crusaders stane in line with the shades of the Zionists of the ages who have made the walls of the sacred city their wailing place while they cried out to the Lord of Sabaoth, “How long, how long!” Mighty pulsations of providence through the arteries of contempo rary events are causing the world war to do signal service to the spirit of reverence with which Jew and Gentile alike regard the HMy Land, so long the spoil of the infidel Turk.
