TTorcnce. Ala.. April 22. The quick-
| est. biggest thing is to make not less
than 12.000.000 bales of cotton in 1917.
This means in food -1,100.000.000
pounds of cotton seed oil (more than
| twice the amount of creamery butter
- less than two-thirds ounce per cap-
ita per day, to »ay nothing ol our ob-
ligations to the rest of the world).
Cotton seed oil has a food value of
•1080 calories per pound, and digestive
| availability of 97.8 per cent. Butter
I has a food value of 3490 calories and
dige-tlve availablity of 77.5 per cent,
i Yet cotton seed oil sells at about one-
third the price of butter.
It means in feed 3.800,000.000 pounds
of cotton seed meal and 3,400.000.000
j pounds of hulls, which, when properly
[combined, make a
| most exceptional value and
'should bo wisely used in the rapid
development of the livestock industry
of the South, and so a big increase in
food atid leather.
In clothing it means several times
the total amount of all other clothing
material produced in the North Amer-
ican continent, and yet falls far
short of the world’s need.
In munitions it means 700.000.00(1

could do it throe years ago. '
In 1916 Texas produced almost as
much rice as it did wheat, but Instead
of keeping its rice for home consump-
tion it allowed it to move northwert
to be returned to them at a high price
as a component of various breakfast
and so-called cereal foods bearing
high sounding names and gorged It-
self on wheat flour products. Rice is
quite as nutritious as wheat or its
flour, and jf the Texas rice crop had
her i ."'iiistime'l at home it would have

price oi ■• - 18, $io or $12 a bar-
rel or who ier tho price of potatoes
was $1, $2 or $3 a bushel, because
rice is better food than flour bread
or potatoes .nd It would have dlsplac

Rut aside from the question of nu-
tritive value there is the all Impor-

expense in the procuring of food by
using products that are close at hand

The throe States of Arkansas, Lou-
isiana and Texas produced about 36.-
600.000 bushels of rice in 1916. every
grain of which ought to have been
oaten in the South; ftret. because rice
is unquestionably the beat food for
people who live in a sml-troplcal cli-
mate: second, because it Is a home
product. Rut not more than 40 per
cent of this crop was consumed tn this
region, it is safe to say. Western
