Conservation means national
preservation.
They are getting up some excel
lent slogans for the food observa
tion and economy campaign. One
is: “It's going to take both the
men in the trenches and the women
in retrenches to win this war.”
Another new motto for housewives
is: “Don’t stuff your husband, but
husband your stuff.” Perhaps it
might be wiser to say, “If you don’t
husband your stuff, you can't stuff
your husband!” There will be
food enough if everybody stops
waste, but only economy can save
the world from want.— The Pro
gressive Farmer.
There are many ways of saving
corn by substituting othef feeds, as
there are many better uses to
which we can put part of our corn
than has been done in the past. It
has high human food value and
may be substituted for a larger part
of wheat flour than is now done.
The bread of the South is largely
hot biscuits. A mixture of three
parts wheat flour and one-part of
finely ground corn meal, or corn
fiour, makes a biscuit which cannot
easily be told from the all wheat
flour biscuit. Our allies in the war
need all the wheat which can be
saved in this way.—The Progress
ive Farmer.
OUR SAVINGS AND OUR ARMY.
“Our gallant men in the field will
do the fighting with true American
valor, but the responsibility rests
upon you and me and every other
citizen of the United States who is
not in active service to provide
t hem with equipment and machines
to enable them to fight success
fully.
“Valor alone is not going to de
stroy the Kaiser and military de
notism. We must have organiza
tion back of it. Every man in this
country must be a patriot. * * *
“The value of the war-savings
clans consists not alone in the
amount of money which the people
of the United States may lend to
their government upon the certifi
cates which are sold, but also in
the lesson which will be taught, in
the habits of thrift that will be in
oculated as a result of it. What
this will mean in conserving the re
sources of Ameriqa is inestimable.
What this will mean in the future
economy of America is incalcula
ble. ?.
“Victory can only be won by the
valor of our soldiers, combined with
the intelligent use of our resoures.
Savings and economy enlarge the
available resoures of the country
for war, and the industry of the
people is necessary to put these
resoures in the form which will en
able our soldiers to use them with
victorious effect upon the battle
fronts.’—From speech of Secre
McAdo".

TWO OBJECTS ARE SOUGHT
IN FRENCH RELIEF WORK
The American Red Cross assumes
that the work done by the organiza
tion with the French must fill funda
mentally two requirements:
First—That all activities contribute
to the successful conduct of the war.
Second—That they relieve suffering
caused by the war.
Work done with the civil population
may have a more important bearing
on the military situation even than
work done with the forces, for men in
the field will be able to carry out their
work better with the knowledge thut
those left at home are being taken
care of.
If the American people can get a
real picture of the misery among those
who have been and are being daily
driven out of their homes and dumped
in poverty upon other parts of the
country, oftentimes ill or mutilated,
they will gladly do all in their power
to help.

Better Farming in the South
THE FARMER—ONE OF
UNCLE SAM’S DEFENDANTS
By D. B. Osborne, Chairman Soil Improvement Committee, Atlanta, Ga.
Mr. Farmer:
The above picture
exemplifies the
vital importance
of your position in
the World War—
The fight of free
dom and democra
cy against German
autocracy.
Upon you is
'laced the grave
responsibility of
producing abund
D. B. OSBORNE ant crops with
which to feed and clothe our army
and navy; the armies and navies of
our Allies—our own people at home
and the peoples of our Allies in Eu
rope.
Failure would bring disaster to our
army and an untimely and unnece?^
sary death to many of our boys wh»t
have gone forth to battle in defense
of our liberty.
But, Mr. Farmer, we know that un
der the great responsibility placed
on you by our Government, that there
is no such word as “fail" in your vo
cabulary and that nothing short of In
Furmountable providential causes could
"vent your answering fully to this
sponsibility.
However, maximum crops can only
be had by the judicious and Intensive
use of fertilizers, good seed, thorough
cultivation, and labor-saving machin
eryI
1 One of your most pressing- prob
lems and one to be acted upon without
delay, is the matter of obtaining your
fertilizer.
In spite of the best efforts of the
manufacturers and the Government,
materials for making fertilizers are
scarce and high in price. Therefore,
it is all the more necessary that what
fertilizers are to be distributed, should
be used upon soil that has received the
very best preparations the fcrmer is
capable of giving.
The mobilization of our army, re
quiring a maximum movement of
troop trains and supply trains, has ov
er-taxed the capacity of our railroads
as never before, and in order for fer
tilizers to be distributed this season,
the movement must of necessity, be
gin early and the unloading of cars
at destination be done with utmost
despatch. Kvery car must be loaded
to capacity.
Today fertilizers are cheaper than
farm crops or farm labor. A bale of
cotton, a bushel of corn, oats or
wheat, will buy more pounds of fertil
izers now than ever before, hence to
assure the performance of a patriotic
duty, with great profit to yourself, or
der your fertilizers promptly so that
you may be sure to get them. And
when you get them, use them with
the greatest degree of intelligence.
Satisfactory results are bound to fol
low—both Vo you and to the Govern
ment.
