SOUTH URGED

FOOD SUPPLI
More Wheat and More Hogs
Is Cry of Federal Agricul-
tural Department.
TO OFFER ASSISTANCE
Government Will Help Safe-
guard Seeds and Fight
Destructive Pests.
WASHINGTON. D. C.. Feb. 19.—
Planting <»f an increased acreage to
spring wheat and the production of
an increased supply of other food
products and of live stock especial-
ly hogs is recommended in a sup-
plementary food production program
issued today by the Department of
Agriculture. It ^'vemphasizes and
amplifies the program lor 1918 is-
sued by the department last August
and later suggestions regarding in-
creased pork production ami in-
creased production of foodstuffs ia
tho south.
'.Notwithstanding an increased pro-
duction of staple crops in the United
States of 1917 there is need lor more
food.” The statement says. "Taking
into account our own needs the needs
of the nations associated within the
war and the needs < f friendly neu-
tral nations our best efforts will bo
required to provide enbugh food in
1918. Whether the war continues
or not the demands on this country
because of the increasing population
and the needs of Europe will be
groat.
More Staples NcxMled.
’Chief emphasis should bo given
to the production of bae great staple
food products with special stress
on wheat and hogs the leading war
foods. Jt is believed that the neces-
sary production can be secured
through the use of the best known
farm methods but it may be neces-
sary to a small extent to sacrith
certain of the less important farm
crops temporarily in the interests of
others w-’aivh rank highest in im-
portance as food for man.”
The south is urged to produce
food for its own people and for its
live stock and then to plant as much
cotton as can be cultivated and har-
vested. To r .is. i.s of hogs and beef
animals the world needs for meats
and fats is made . lean Farmers are
urged to join with the men on the
ranges in providin'' sheep whose
wool is needed to equip soldiers.
Discussing iho farm labor problem
the program ea •« that while the
labor situation still presents difficul-
ties the farmers suceeded in over-
coming them last year and that
with better organization an<’ espe-
cially with deferred ; •as.-iiication of
skilled farm labor the uif'.»cijhies
again can be surmounted.
I'eileral Aid
The department states that it will
continue to assist fanners in everv
feasible way to secure and safe-
guard thf r seed supplies and to
prevent losses of foodstuffs from in-
sect and diseases of plants ami ani-
ma lr.
Other recommendations made are.
The number of hogs should be in-
creased by at leyist 15 per <ent.
Effort should be made to maintain
Vhe acreage of sugar cane and sugar
beets and to increase these areas in-
sofar as these crops are well estab-
lished or are necessary to sound
agricultural practice. Production of
satisfactory substitutes for sugar
should be increased.
The supply of dairy products
should be maintained to meet the
needs of this country and to neip
sunply the increasing demands oi
the allies . „ .
Kiev buckwheat and flax seed
production should be maintained and
if possible increased.
The production of grain sorghum
(kaffir niilo. feteriU. etc.)
be increased greatly throughout the
drver portion of the plains region.
The number of beef annuals
should be increased.
The planting of home garden* e. -
pecially for family needs and for
preservi g food for future use should
be emphasized.

By controlling manufacture tne
food administration would be able
to enforce any rules it might make
for conserving wheat and other es-
sential foodstuffs by the use of sub-
stitutes. Control of distribution |
would enable the administration to'
relieve possible shortages in any sec-
tion by shipping food from other
parts (if the country.
In the hearings before the com-|

besired to attempt general rationing
but that rigid control of public eAt-

waste and also to stimulate conser-

POLITICAL TENSION
IN LONDON RELAXED
BY ROBERTSON MOVE
Acceptance of New Post
Puts End to Plan of Dis-
placing Government.
LONDON Feb. 19. —Tension in
the political world in connevTon
| with military affairs has relaxed
Considerably. This is due largely to
the acceptance by General Robert-
son. former chief of the imperial
general staff of the eastern com-
mand which removed anxiety lest his
services be lost to the country. The
eastern is a first-class command with
all the highest emoluments and is
especially important as it would
likely be the first to be affected by
any attempted German invasion.
Nevertheless the announcement of
the general’s transfer was received
|in the House of Commons with some
I merriment as if it struck the hear-
ers as derogatory. The fact probab-
Hy was that Sir Henry Wilson who
[succeeds General Robertson as chief
। <>f the imperial staff himself held it
I for some months last year an 1 it
Jias come to be regarded popularly
।as a typical temporary appointment.
| General Robertson s acceptance of
the eastern command is commended
; warmly’ by the press as an example
of soldierly compliance with duty
and discipline and as showing that
he is not influenced by any notion
of personal dignity because of the
controversy.
Opinion is now general according
to the newspaper lobbyists that cri-
ticisms of the government will not
be pressed to the extreme point in
today’s debate in the House and th it
the Versailles policy will be accepted.
Talk of displacing the government
virtually has disappeared and it is
said also that the Earl of Derby
is certain to remain as minister of
war.
