A good many of the articles printed in this section of The Tribune-News are secured from the United States Department of Agriculture and State University Experiment Stations. 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 RUN-DOWN WOMAN Made Strong By Our Vinol 3 ort Edward, N. Y.— t!

Hoys’ and ; girls’ clubs have shown the way. Local i and municipal canning and drying es tablishments should be improvised to , conserve the perishables Meat Supply. The livestock holdings ate already too low. it would be unfortunate for farmers to slaughter breeding stock at present. Diseases should be con trolled. .Milk production should be in ( teased one-fourth by liberal feeding: pork production should be increased; poultry products might be doubled. Mobilizing Farm Labor. The limiting element of food pro duction will he the labor supply. !n- I discriminate enlistment f■ :n the | farms with no plan for lab' r replace ment will be detrimental. 2,000.000 I hoys between the ages of 17 and 19 in cities and towns should lie engaged in productive work. Military enlist ; incut, should be broadened to include j in national service the physically dis i aided and under or over-aged for ac if.ee military duty. The government ; should make plans at once for the | iiioblizaiion of men beyond the mili tary age, men physically disabled and beys under age for enlistment. Harvest Emergency. The government co-operating with the states should mobilize sufficient farm labor to meet all emergencies. Survey of Food Supply. information should be secured re garding the food supply of the nation and all business enterprises relating thereto in order to ('liable congress to legislate suitably for the protection of the people. Authority should be grant ed the secretary of agriculture to es tablish market grades and classes of 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 ernment should take over and operate such business if it becomes necessary in order to handle the food situation. Communities should make a survey of the possibilities of production and pro 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 be located so that local production may be extended to take care of the 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.

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.” i STOP IN ATLANTA I AT HOTEL EMPIRE Opposite Union Depot on Pryor In St. Renovated and refurnished M throughout.
