lt'OUT WORTH, Tex., April >!.—
Illonry N. 1'ope, president of the
I Farmers' Educational urn! Co-Opora-
jtivo union of Texas, has written a let-
j ter to Secretary Houston, raising ob-
jections to Impractical requests now
being made of farmers of the south
anil outlining a plan of action morn In
line, he'believes, with general condi-
tions. The letter follows'
Ft. Worth, Te<t, April Hi. 1917.
Hon. David F. Houston, Secretary of
Agriculture, Washington, 1) ('.
Dear Sir: At this critical period in
the history of our nation, all patriotic
citizens of every class and calling
realize the ab-olute necessity of in-
creasing the nation's food supplies,
and to assist In this laudable enter-
prise they are working, each iu his
own way.
Thousands of patriotic, hut ul In-
formed c itizens, are daily advising tho
farmers on the hustings and through
the public prints hom best to meet
this emergency. Many thousands of
these well mi uling advisors never
planted a cabbage or a carrot, a pea-
nut or a potato, ami some of them
don't know whether tomatoes grow
in the cans or on the vines.
Home well informed farmer away
up north very properly advised his
people to plant heavily of Irish po-
tatoes, following which wise counsel
Texas farmers are now being advised
to plow up their cotton and plant
Irish potatoes. potatoes are selling
at $1 per bushel and not one acre out
of a hundred in Texas, if planted at
this lute date, would yield $4. It Is
sincerely lo bo hoped there is not a
farmer In Texas foolish enough to act
on such a suggestion, This confused
and irresponsible Jumble of advice
bids fair to degenale into hysterical
nonsense, We have lately heard the as-
sistant secretary of agriculture declar-
ing that "the farmer who fails to sub-
stitute food crops for his cotton will
be tlio first man drafted for service
in the army." We protest, with all
the power at our command, against
such senseless and III considered ad-
vice, and such foolish utterances.
If food crops are Increased It will
be 'done by the actual farmer In the
furrow, and not by the professors arid
bankers. If done at all it will be from
motives of the purest, patriotism.
Farmers cannot be frightened; they
have always fed the nation and done
most of its fighting.
Possibly the learned assistant secre-
tary Was ignorant, of the fact that
probably fit) per cent of the Texas cot-
ton crop Is planted and growing and
that in about 60 days some new crop
cotton will be coming on the market
in south Texas. In our opinion there
is grave danger that the real, practi-
cal farmers will become so disgusted
with this impractical and hysterical
advice that it will be made more dlf
ficult to secure their active support
and co-operation, without which all
this extensive propaganda will fail
utterly.
In order to secure sane, conservative
and practical results all efforts along
this line should be co-ordinated and
consolidated under efficient, respon
aible, and, above all. practical au
thortty.
m '
In our opinion the nation should
bo divided into two departments for
the organization of tiie producer.
Let the secretary of agriculture ap-
point its chiefs of these two divisions
such a man us the late David itankln
for the north division; and such a
man us the Hon. .Ino. M. Parker of
Louisiana for chief of tho southern
division. I,el thesq several chiefs ap-
point as their staff officers a number
of actual, practical farmers, who have
the confidence of the agricultural
class and are in touch with them. Let
these staff officers carry this organi-
zation at once Into every state, county
and precinct, appointing in every case
local men who are practical farmers,
l.et these staff officers organize a
corps of women workers in each state
also, who shall organize the women In
each county and precinct. These
womens' organizations should meet at
appointed times and places, and under
expert tutelage, should can and pre
serve every ounce of that vast amoulit
of fruits, vegetables and foods which
annually go to waste, as well as the
product of the gardens and "war
acres" raised under the stimulus of
tiiis propaganda.
The farm women of the nation
would respond with generous ent.hu
iasm to tho effort to organize them
for such patriotic service.
In much of our southland the sea-
son Is now too far advanced to permit
of raising such additional quantities
of foodstuff., as we would like, but
with sane, practical Judgment much
in yet be done along tills line, wliih
in the north climatic conditions make
possible a vant Increase.
In the south, for tho remainder of
this season, the greatest results can
bo secured by saving l he enormous
quantities of food products annually
wasted, through the organizing of the
women, an above suggested. They
would find real pleasure In their
meetings. In planning and consulting
concerning this work, and the practi-
cal knowledge gained would be of ltn-
niese value to many of them ail
through life.
The Farmers' union has been work-
ing earnestly and persistently, though
wilh very little publicity, to promote
food production among our member-
ship, Scores of meetings have already
been held where tho proposition has
been discussed from every angle by
the actual farmers »lin understand
production, and we believe such dis-
cussion as this is much more valuable
than thousands of printed pages, con-
taining such unreasonable advice as
some of that quoted above.
If those suggestions are substantial-
ly followed, proper co-ordination of
effort and proper organization se-
cured, beginning with the next crop
Texas alone can feed the United States
through the duration of the war, bo
it one year or one hundred.
