Associated Press Dispatch
Washington, Jan. ■To what
extent n proper system of agricul-
ture' will make southern farms self-
sustaining if pointed out in a re-
port today by the department of
agriculture on an investigation of
farmers’ incomes. In view of the
present econdnjic crisis in the
south, brought about by the war,
this fact is regarded as of particu-
lar significance.
Despite the responsibility he as-
sumes, the report sa.vs, the average
farmer receives ittfle more money
for his year's work than he would
earn If he hired out as a farm hand
Rewards of a farmer, it Is said,
are measured in the products fur-
. yilsbed him directly rather than, in
dollars and cents.
.„„,Tiio average value of the ^necessi-
ties of life,, food, fuel, oil and
shelter, used each year by the farm
family is given as f595.n8. Of
these necessities, estimated ill mon-
ey, the portion contributed directly
by the farm is $421.17, leaving
hecessities to the value of $173.31
to he purchased by the farmer.
Of the food consumed, 62 per cent
is furnished by the farm, which var-
ies cohsiderably In different sections
It is greatest in Nogtnf Carolina,
where farms supply x2.3 per cent
of the food consumed while the av-
erage in New York is only 50.4.
These figures are pointed to in
roniftction with the elimination of
the single crop system, now being
agitated.
Atnociated /‘rrM l)t*patch
Washington, Jan. 2 —The Amer-
ican Red Cross today was appealed
to by Consul General Hanna at
Monterey, -Mexico, for aid fn rellev
ing more than 2.0410 families who
.X
are suffering from hunger and cold
in that section of the revolution-
torn republic.
Consul General Hanna’s message
was sent to the, Red Cross through
the state department. In it he says
that the food situation , is worse
than in Europe and that, in addition
to those now needing help, several
thousand probably will be suffering
before‘the end of the month.
"I now have 600 families on m:
list In Mon'erey which are being
furnished corn, beans and rice
twice a week,’’.says Mr. Hanna.
‘‘There are a thousand more fami-
lies who want tickets to the relief
station,'- There are probably more
than two thousand fapillics ,n Mon-
terey .who need help now, and the
prospects are several thousand will
be very hungry before January is
past.
/‘The Mexican authorities are in-
terested in doing what they can.
but after four years of war, during
which the fields have been neglected,
the crops are very short, and the lo-
cal supply almost exhausted.

towns two cars of corn each week
We need a carload of beans and
rice each week. We wish everv
