South Carolina Must Feed Herself.
A Wiar Emt ergency Program, adopt
ed Jointly by tie State Council of Do
fCese, State Food Administration, and
Extension lDivislonl, Clemson College,
gIves this advice:
Our country must not only produce
enough food with reduced labor to
feed herself, but our allies are de
pendent upon uts for a large part of
their food supply.
Mr. Hoover stated in an address last
suimmer: "If we cannot maintain our
allies in their necessities, wo cani:
expect them to remain constant i
war. If their food falls, we shall
left alone in the fight, and tile Nvestri
line will remove to the Atlantic sea
board. It is thus a matter of our own
safety and self interest. It Is more
than this-it is a miatter of humanity
that we give of ouir a buaIn(llice that. we
relieve suffering."
Many of our farmer cit izens have
berii produeinig fcr thir ent l t tire life
nearly all of their food supply. This
year every armrmust not. 0111y planat
14) feed )imiisl f, but h will also have
to provide in a larger measure than
ever before for ti l e inl tihe cit
kes and towns in the State. The pres
ent situation demands that the farm
ers in plailtlag ther cro.s Ithis year
shall consider the matter from tie op
posite standpoint to their usual ie.
They must make their money crop sub
sidiary to their food crops and ar
range for ample food for the popula
tion of the enttiie state. South 'Caro
lina can easily produce enough to feed
herself and grow a large acreage of
cotton besides.
The first crop that we are urged to
increase is the production of corn. As
much of the past year's crop as possi
ile should be placed at once on :the
local market to meet the needs of the
state and save demanilds upon tile lim
itede transporttionll facilities.
Gardens are next considered. There
Is no more profitably planted plot of
ground tian the home garden. It. can
be made an all-year source of fresh,
healthful food, and in addition will
provide a surpIlus produce for pro
sering aindl marketing. Every r.ail
able garden lot in tle cities and towns
should be itilized in furnishign vege
to take care of every potato raised.
thing possible should be done to in
crease production of Irish potatoes,
lima beans and onloiis. Comnunity
co-operative cannorler should be de
volop)ed wherever practicable.
An Increased production of sweet
l)oitaoe4 Is urged, and it should be
aecompaniled by the building of a suill
cient numbdr of potato storage houses
t otake care of every potato raised.
It is wanton waste to produce a large
crop of 'potatoes and through careless
harvesthig and poor storage i-ethods
allow them to be destroyed by potato
rot.
Pork production is of paramount Im
Portance at. this time, when the Unit
ed States is facing a shortage of hogs
alld our allies are depending on us to
furnish (iantities of pork products
much larger than ever before required.
There is no more important crolp In
the world at the present t ine than the
wheat cro1). 10very farmer should
plant two acres of wheat to the plow
this fall.
'Ile fact that milk is an indispensa
ble food for children gives to the
dairy pritogran a ilace of prime hu
portaice. The sale aId slaughter of
good dairy stock should he preveIlted
aid every possible step should be talc
('1n to encourage tie' introdutlioll ald
bleeding of sitock of high productivity.
'Soutih Carolia does nlot rodiee
half the aiounit of eggs consumed in
the state. No liens should be killed at
this season of the year. A muclh larger
hateling thaUn usual should be made In
early spring in order to prodluce suifl
clent pullets for laying next fall. 1v
eryone who has surplus of eggs this I
spriig should prese70e the eggs now
]in a solution of water glass. This
method of keepIng eggs from spring
through winter can be fully recoi
mefl(le(l. You can secuire the water
glass with (irections for using it from
local drug store.
We are also urged to increase the
production of oats, rye and forage
crops, as sorghum, velvet beans, cow
peas, peanuts and soy beans. The
peas, peanuts and soy beans are valu
able as human foods.
