Take the case of Australia, for ins tance. There threecrops have remain ed unsold on the farms. There were no ships which could be spared to make the long voyage to Australia, and so in spite of the efforts of the Government to save the farmers from ruin, grain has retted in the open because there has been no place to store it, and millions of tons have been spoiled by mice and' other ro dents. Such conditions spell irrey:ievable disaster, in spite of all any Govern ment can do. Such conditions would have prevailed in this country, from the outbreak of the war until now, gradually growing worse and worse, and deepening in disaster, from hard times to universal stagnation, and widespread famine, if our Govern ment had not first resisted with every diplomatic weapon the encroach ments of the German Government, and finally, when it’s cruel and pir atical, and ruthless policy moved on from illegal restrictions to open and ruthless murder, if our Government had not drawn the sword. Why did we draw the sword? Was it to keep up the price of wheat and cotton, and to protect trade only? If someone should order youto re main on your farm, and not to use the public highway, would your re sistance be based on fear of loss in property, the profits from failure to market your crops, the inconven ience in not being able to buy your supplies in town? By no means. You would fight to the last gasp, not to make money, but to be free. When a man is enslaved all he loses in money is his wages; but the white man has never beep able to accept slavery for that reason. The white man has never yet been suc cessfully enslaved. There rises up in him against servitude a resentment so terrible at the loss of his owner ship of himself that death has always been preferable to slavery. What the Imperial German Gov ernment offered the farmers of America in its ruthless submarine warfare was not the loss of profits but slavery to the saber rattler of Potsdam. He purposed to make us slaves by murdering the people who take our products to market. By all the laws of civilized warfare, com merce under a neutral flag was free from any hindrance except the legal interferences justified by war; but the Germans not only stopped mer chants veéssels, but sunk them. They not only sunk them, but they sunk them without warning. They not only sunk them without warning, but they sunk them without trace—the most devilish thing war has been since the savages scalped our ances tors and threw screaming babies intc the flames-of burning ¢abins; for the German plan of sinking merchant ves ‘sels without trace is based on the murderer‘smaxim that dead men tell no tales; and it was executed by the massacre of men, women, and child ren, who bhaving committed them selves to the‘awful dangers of small boats in the open sea after their ships were torpetoed were then mercilessly raked with gunfire, and exterminated to the last poor unprotected unpitied | wretch! . These are the murders that stain the hands of the Kaiser and his advis ers and minions. These outrages ‘were perpetrated on neutral vessels; when ail that civilized warfare gave ‘the Germans a right to do even with ‘the merchant vessel under a hostile flag, was to stop it at sea and under proper circumstances make it a prize of war; but to kill the civilians on board, even under a hostile flag was nothing but stark, plain, unmtigated murder. : And these murders were committed in order that we might be enslaved! Having the right, according to the laws of war, to.take the sea with his ships, and fight it out, gun to gun but being afraid to do so for fear that he might lose his fleet, being afraid or unable to stop the sale of our prod-! ucts to his enemies, or to open hisi own ports to us by fair means, he de-% clared that he would do it by the foul‘i est methods ever resorted to in war. He declared the sea closed, and that he would keep it closed, not by war, but by murder. To have submitted would have cost us dear in prosperity; but that would have been the least of our loss. We should have had te grovel be fore the German Government. We should have had to accept mur der as a thing against which we could not defend ourselves. We should have allowed this new horror to have become a part of all future wars, and have been responsi ble for it’s incorporation into inter national law. We should have proved that be cause the fire that burns up owr farms' usefulness is beyond the hor izon, we will submit to the kindling of it ~ . o ‘ - We might have accepted. 7Q cents or less:for wheat,<and. 6 cemts or less for cetton, and the like in case dfl misfortune, but we could not do it ]merely because we were commanded ‘to do it . i By so doing we should have accept ‘ed degradation. We should have ac | cepted, at the behest of a half crazed | autocrat of Europe a lower standard !of living in America. We should have | given up at his command the hope of iour childrens education, the payment {of the mortgage, the better school, | the new church. * * * E We should have basely yielded up our birthright as Americans. | Sucha thought is intolerable when we come to understand it. Peace at such a price would not be peace. * * * This then is the war in which we are fighting. Whenever the time comes for new sacrifices, let us re member that we fight for liberty. Not only for our liberties, tomor row, or next year, or twenty years from now, but for our own freedom today. Not for the right to live in the future, but for the right to make a living this year. German oppression had begun to oppress us before we entered this war. If we had not declared war, but accepted the conditinos of life ordered for us by the Kaiser, we to day should be a peverty stricken na tion, our factories shut down, our workmen unemployed, our people starving, our farmers ruined by the poverty of those for whose consump tion we grew the crops. There is loss and sacrifice in war, but there would have been far more loss and sacrifice in accepting the German terms. We should have lost more in i money than we have spent in the war but we should have lost something far more precious. We should have lost our souls. . Every farmer in the United States must remember that the war has a first mortgage on every cent he has. The last spare cent in the pockets of every farmer in America should be devoted to the war. v The Kaiser began foreclosing his mortgage on our farms when began ruthless submarine warfare, and the war is our answer to his bill of fore closure. Our contribution is, first our sons and brothers for the trenches; second the last pound of food products which we can grow by mobilizing our scanty labor supply, utilizing the men, wom en and children, and the townspeople about us;and third money for Liber ty Bonds 2% ¥ Never since the Turks threatenad to overwhelm Europe, perhaps not even then, was the world in such dan ger as now. Germany is not yet de feated. We must defeat her this year.” Unless we win our place in the world is lost and our history as one of the “servient” nations begins. We must withhold nothing from the support of the war. We must give our sons. We must bring forth faod in abundance, multiplying our labor to that end. _.We must give into the Treasury of the United States every cent we can spare. This summer the support of the war i 3 up to the farmers; and Uncle Sam has never called upon the far mers in vain. HERBERT QUICK. SOUTH GEORGIA CROPS Continued from page one. erally will have a good crop. “It was particularly gratifying to see the response made to the call for more wheat, and I desire again to urge every farmer in Georgia to, plant at least two acres to each plow, pick ing out his best acres for this purpose. “The demand for wheat was held up just as we predicted, and next year it is going to be even greater than now. The American people should take warning from those European countries where children are actually ‘starving for the want of bread and 'meat. S “Every bushel of wheat grown in Georgia will mean one bushel more that can be sent from the western wheat belt to our own soldiers and our allies across the sea. “It is both a question of patriotism and of self-preservation, that calls} for the growing of every possible bushel of wheat in Georgia the com ing season. Farmers should grow‘ wheat not specially to make money, but to meet absolute necessity, and I believe they will.” The meeting of Cotton States Offi cial Advisory Marketing Board call ed by President J. J. Brown, has been changed to New Orleans, La., on Mon day, July Ist, instead of Memphis, on June 27, as was originally announced. It is already assured that this meet ing will be well attended, and it will deal with some of the most important problems to the cotton growers of the South which have yet presented them selves. Save, and save more! Buy War Savings Stamps! Push the war work and save the livas of our boys! Give up your luxuries that the Kai ser may 'be made to give up his :,__! bitions.
