It is pointed out that winter work is going to mean much to next year’s production; and if the men ore taken away from the farms, it will seriously interfere not only with this work, but with planting and cultivation in the spring. It is the belief of the department that exception should be made, per manently, in those cases in which it h clearl - v necessary to guarantee the safety of food production. • * * Organization of the Cotton States Official Advisory Marketing Board, v *ll I,e completed at a meeting in Washington this week of members of the board from each of the cotton growing states.

I he serious food situation confront ii g the country, and as a result of which government reguiat’on is I threatened with regard to the pro hu ts ol the farnt, makes it more imperative ihan ever that Georgia should produce ! jnst as much wheat as she can be tween now and spring. There will be a market for every bushel of it at splendidly profitable prices. To get good results the ground must he well prepared and properly fertil ized. The best ground available should be given over to wheat growing, and just as much of it as possible. The advice of the department is, Plant wheat NOW; plant lots of it; plant all you can take care of. And the earlier you plant it and the better you take care of the crop, the better will be the results attained, both in yield of wheat and in financial profit. SECRETARY LANE ADVOCATES LIBERTY LOAN. Secretary of the Interior Lane in a recent address at Denver, Colo., advo cating the second Liberty Loan, re viewed the work so far accomplished •>y the government in organizing a great army and strengthening the navy, said in part: This is to be a grim time for us. Let not delude ourselves or carry any false illusions that the righteous ness of our cause, the injustice done to us, the vastness of our resources, or the greatness of our man power will so touch or overawe the enemy as to make them seek a peace that will make this world safe for democracy until those who have forced this fight realize that with the world against them they can not win. Rich and po 0 r Serve Alike. ‘‘We have drafted our young men irto our army. The son of the million aire stands today in the ranks along side the son of the drayman, the law yer alongside his own baker. We have made no preference and drawn no lines of distinction, and when these same men go over the top’ the guns of the enemy will show no preference and draw no distinctions. “You owe it to your country to buy Liberty Bonds and become a partner in Uncle Sam’s corporation: you owe it to yourselves to determine the fin ancial policy of the United States, and so of the world —and those whose for tunes and lives are at stake in this war will dictate the terms of peace.” Speaking before the National Life Underwriters’ Association at New Or- - leans, Mr. Lane said of the Liberty Bonds: “I am here to ask your belli in the | name of the President and of the Sec retary of the Treasury. We are about to place upon the market anew issue of Liberty Bonds. Our appeal on be half of the Nation is to the people of the Nation. This is a fight for demo cracy and we are following democra tic methods. There was a day not long past when no government could make war without asking the POTisent of those who were the money masters. The foundation of our financial re source is the wealth and willingness of our people. A war for democracy should be supported by the money of democracy “Why is this world against Ger many? When we find a man in our community against whom every man’s hand is turned we say to ourselves that there must be some reason for this. The man himself says, ‘lt is envy at my prosperity.’ Germany says so. That is her explanation of the war. But all of us know of our own exper ience that there is one reason that leads to the universal community con demnation of an individual: He does not play the game of life as we think it should be played. And so it is with Germany. She does not know that the time of empires and of emperors is past. She does not know that the day ot arbitrary might has gone by. She will not play the twentieth century game under twentieth century rules. She asks for friendship, but she dis honors her friends by asking them to do things which they should not do.
