CONFERENCE ON AGRICUL
TURAL SITUATION
St. Louis, Mo., April 10, 1917.
Report of committee of fifteen,
■which was adopted.
The Farmers' Responsibility.
In the present war crisis, a very
large measure of the final responsibil
ity of winning the war rests upon the
farmers. Not only our own consumers
but much of the world at large must
reply more completely than ever be
fore upon the American farmer. The
man who tills the soil, supporting the
soldiers in the field and the family at
home, is rendering as noble and pa
triotic a service as the man who bear.-
the brunt of battle. Because of the
world shortage of food, it is scarcely
possible that the production of staple
oops by the farmers can be too great
this year, and a general price will be
paid for the harvests.
Increasing the Food Supply.
There is yet time to add substantial
Jy to the bread supply by increasing
the corn area, the forage crops, truck
fops, potatoes, peanuts and pastures.
A normal cotton crop should be grown.
Intensive cultivation and rational use
o f rtilizers should be encouraged.
School Children’s Part.
An appeal is made to the youth of
the nation to put forth every effort

information should be secured re

thereto in order to ('liable congress to
legislate suitably for the protection of
the people. Authority should be grant

farm products. Authority should also,
be granted the secretary for licensing
warehouses, packing plants, mills,
cold-storages, produce exchanges, co
operative and shipping associations,
commission merchants, auctioneers,
brokers, jobbers, wholesale distribu
tors, individuals, partnerships, asso
ciations and corporations, engaged in
distributing farm products. The gov

such business if it becomes necessary
in order to handle the food situation.
Communities should make a survey of

vide local marketing facilities.
Price Publicity.
The average price of food, feeds and
livestock should be broadcast, for the
benefits of producer and consumer.
The war department should determine
the cities where training camps should

increased consumption. Appropriate
steps should be taken through federal
authority to facilitate the supplies of
agricultural implement machinery.
Price Fixing.
For the proper balancing of both
producer and consumer, congress
THE BARTOW TRIBUNE-THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS, APRIL 26, 1917.
should authorize the Council National
Defense whenever necessary to pur
chase, store and distribute food pro
ducts, or to fix prices caused by tem
porary or over-production or by a sud
den end of the war or by restraints
of trade, manipulations or specula
tions in order that the producers may
not be required to suffer loss; in order
that consumers may not be required
to pay oppressive prices in case of dis
organized or inadequate transporta
tion.
Increase Home Economy.
We are the most wasteful people in
the world in our ways of living. The
greatest- saving that may be made
through the economic purchase and
use of food is through processes of
production. The diet should be made
-is largely vegetarian as possibly with
out losing efficiency. Beans, peas,
milk and these products should be
used for expensive meats. Increased
use of corn and rice; use wholewheat
flour. Home storage, canning and pre
ss rving of foods should be increased.
Serious food waste in many households
should he minimized by educating the
housewives.
National and State Organization Need
ed.
The National Council of Defense,
; including secretary of agriculture;
j small central agricultural body in each
state, which body shall keep in in
timate contact and close co-operation
in emergency oppropriations. To meet
the extraordinary needs of agricul
tural emergency it is recommended
that $23,M0,000 or such other sum as
may he needed be available to the sec
retary of agriculture to be used as is
deemed best under the present emer
gency. State appropriations should Ije
had for agricultural agencies. When
the present emergency ceases, much
permanent reconstruction in agricul
tural plans and policies may be neces
sary. which will continue for some
time the activities of the organized
body. The United States Departmen
of Agriculture is co-operating witli
the State Agricultural College in each
state and will work through the statu
institution in the prosecution of a
large part of this work.

FOOD CONTRACTS OF U. S. MAY
BE DIVIDED AMONG STATES.
Atlanta, Ga.—The State Agricultur
al Department has taken up with the
Federal authorities in Washington the
matter of trying to arrange govern
ment contracts, for such food supplies
as the government is going to need,
j to he immediately apportioned among
i the states. The view in mind of the de
partment is to put the Georgia farmer
in possession of definite information
showing an immediate market for
such products of the farm as the gov
ernment can use when these products
are being harvested, exclusive of what
ever other markets may be afforded
i at that time. In the meantime the Mar
| ket Bureau of the Agricultural Depart
! ment is listing and systematizing the
j growers of the state and the buyers
J vho are or will be in the market, in
i order to have them ready by the har
j vest period.
ATLANTA JOURNAL COMMENDS
WORK OF BARTOW COUNTY.
The practical and patriotic spirit in
which Georgia has set out to raise an
abundance of food supplies has no
finer example than Bartow county’s
campaign tor this purpose. The lead
ing farmers and business men of that
county ar working shoulder to should
er in a movement designed to cover
every phase of the food problem. They
are seeking first of all, of course, to
encourage the planting of a large food
acreage and the raising of food ani
mals. But they will not rest there.
They will take up the scarcely less im
portant task of providing, well in ad
vance of the harvest season, depend
able and convenient markets for what
ever surplus of foodstuffs the farmers
mav have to sell. They will consider
also the question of how best to con
serve those surplus products for which
there may be no immediate market.
These are the methods that assure
permanent results. While our most
urgent problem is to avert the danger
of a food shortage, we should bear
constantly in mind the important truth
thai if our work for this particular
emergency is done well and with due
foresight, it will benefit the state’s
whole economic life for all time to
come; it will usher in anew era of
thrift and enterprise and prosperity
and true independence.
The Bartow campaign comprises
various means of arousing and direct
ing popular interest in the production
of fo <1 supplies. Several mass meet
ings. have been held at Cartersville,
and each has drawn a large -attend
ance from evi ry part of the county.
A committee of some fifty citizens,
representing all sections and all in
irrests of the county, has made a trip
through the Bartow territory, visiting
as far as possible every planter and
every merchant and explaining the
need for an unprecedented food out
put. in addition to these and sundry
other efforts, thousands of circulars
have been distributed throughout the
county, giving specific advice and di
rections as to what should be done.
The circular appeal and counsel
'reads in part:
•’Plant an early garden; can and
preserve all the vegetables and
fruits possible; do not sell or ship
out of your county any live stock,
but increase their yield; raise
chickens and hogs, and keep your
milk cow; on every one-horse
farm there should be planted five
acres in corn and velvet beans, j
five acres in peas for hay, ten
acres in cotton, one acre in pea
nuts, on account of high food value
for hogs; one and one-half acre in
sweet potatoes and some early
maturing corn grasses for stock;
a good garden containing beans,
cabbage, collards, okra, onions,
tomatoes, turnips, lettuce, squash,
cucumbers, etc. Whether tenant,
wage earner, farmer, business
man, teacher, professional or mon
eyed citizen, plant a garden, work
it well; replant and make a fall
garden.”
In entering upon its food production
campaign in this thoroughgoing and
far-sighted manner, Bartow county is
helping itself and helping the state
and helping the nation. There is no
surer way by which a community or
an individual can serve the country
at this crucial juncture than by adding
to the supply of those basic commodi
ties without which the war could nev
er be won.
As in Bartow, so in numerous other
Georgia counties earnest and well-con
sidered plans for increased food crops
are under way. On next Tuesday there
will be held at Macon a State-wide
meeting for the purpose of co-ordinat
ing all such efforts. That conference
is of the utmost importance and should
be very largely attended. —Atlanta
Journal.
HOME CANNING URGED
BY COMMISSIONER BROWN.
Atlanta, Ga.—Don’t neglect the can
ning plants, is the advice being given
this week by Commissioner of Agri
culture J. ,T. Brown. He says: “A great
deal of relief in whatever food crisis
confronts us may be had by putting
uf canned food stuffs. In the garden
planting attention should be given to
those things which will be available
for canning:. Just what to can, and
how to can it, so it will keep, has been
carefully and thoroughly worked out
by the State College of Agriculture,
and the college will gladly give the
people of the state any needed infor-
mation if they will ask for it. The
college has done a great work along
that line already, through its direct
efforts and through its instructors,
and the time seems now to be coming
on us when the result of that work is
going to count for a great deal. Where
a surplus can be produced of canned
goods, above the needs of the family,
.it should be done. Thar surplus can be
accumulated by communities and tak
er. care of in the market when the
time comes. I would particularly cau
tion the people generally, through, to
thoroughly post themselves, through
information obtainable from the col
lege, on putting up the canned stuff
the right way, and so it will keep
properly.”
