Governor Brough Urges
Farmers to Grow Wheal
Governor Brough has issued the
following proclamation to the farm
ers of Arkansas:
“Whereas, It has become the duty
ol the United States to feed not only
her own people but to augment and
enlarge supplies of our allies in Eu
rope, the nations who are fighting
our battles of democracy and liberty
us much as as their own, and because
of this great need, the United States
government is calling upon the farm
ers of the nation to increase the
wheat acreage, the great need of our
allies being wheat, because the bread
from wheat flour is essential to se
curing the highest efficiency of the
human body, and
MWhereas, It has been estimated by
government authorities that our al
lies will require approixmately 750,
000,000 bushels of wheat in 1918, and
there is now used each year in the
United States an average of the yield
from a half acre pf wheat for every
man, foman and child, necessitating r

Arkansas have been securing a large!
part of their flour from wheat grown
in the Northern and Northwestern
sections of our country, grain which
is now needed for cur European allies.
“Now, Therefore 1, Charles Hill

Arkansas, by virtue of the authority
vested in me by the constitution and
laws of said state, apepal to every
land owner and tiller of the soil to
devote to the cultivation of wheat as
much land as is consistent with a
safe and sound system of agriculture.
“I make this appeal with the firm
conviction that the (farmers, the back
bone of our state, will show no less
patriotism than our brave boys whe
have offered their lives as a sacri
fice, that the world may continue to
enjoy the blessings of liberty, justice
and democracy. I realize that it is,
to a certain extent asking the farm
ers of Arkansas make a great
sacrifice in requesting them to turn
to a crop with which the majority of
them have had little experience.

come, and this change will doubtless
cause some inconvenience, but in this
great crisis there can be no middle
i ground.
“The man who is not willing to per
form his whole duty to our govern
ment cannot escape the truth that
i he is indirectly aiding the cause of
our enemies by his shirking.
“The farmer who can devote ■■
portion of his land to wheat and loe
iu t do so is a slacker, just as much
as the man who escapes ervi-e in
: the army.
It has ehen proved that Arkansas
, can produce wheat successfully. The
average yield per acre for this state
for the last 10 years has been the
same as that of North and South Da
kota. where wheat is the main agri
cultural product. An additional incen
tive is that Congress has fixed a
minimum price for the 1918 crop, of
per bushel. I would respectfully
suggest that farmers who have had
iittle or no experience with this crop
consult their county agent or some
other agricultural specialist, in re
gard to the selection of the land and
seed, preparation of the land, and
other details.
“Our agricultural specialists have
recommended as a general principle,
the sowing of at least two acres of
wheat on good land for each horse
and mule at work on the farm. Food
production and conservation are mat
ters of paramount importance in our
nation and in our state, and those of
us who have not the privilege of vol
unteering, either as guardsmen or as
nationals, in the service of our coun
ty can do our bit by engaging in the
work of food production and conser
vation, calculated not only to supply
our needs at home, but to fill the
knapsacks of our brave men abroad.
“Farmers of Arkansas, our nation
: ppeals to you in this crisis, to raise
wheat. I am sure you will patriotical
ly and generously respond.”
PLOW AM) USE* ALL
OF THE WASTE PLACES
On nearly every farm there are
waste places now covered with weeds
and detracting from the value of the
farm which could be used for grow
ing great quanitities of feed. Many
of these patches are small butt they
ought to be plowed up and sowed to
wheat, oats, rye or rape for pasture
for chickens, pigs, cows, or horses.
Growing feed on these waste places
to supoprt more livestock would add
much to the income of the average
farm. Another cow and a dozen more
pigs would certainly pay. Think it
over!
