SAFE FARMING CAM-
PAIGN TO BE CONDUCTED
DURING WINTER MONTHS
mi
------—»***.
A rxst amount of work now remains to be done which tha
intervention of war has necessarily delayed and accumu-
la ted, and the result is that • • • • • very large capital
expenditures ought to be made to make up for the inter-
ruptions inevitaoly due to the war, and to prepare the rail-
roads to serve adequately the increased traffic throughout
the country. WALKER D. HINES,
Olrecmr Gtutrtl of Rotlroodo,
Work more—
Produce more—
Save more—
But we can’t continue increasing our
production unless we continue increasing
our railroad facilities.
The farms, mines and factories cannot
increase their output beyond the capacity
of the railroads to haul their products. Ijs
' r
Railroads are now near the peak of their
carrying capacity.
Without railroad expansion—more en-
gines, more cars, more tracks, more ter-
minals—there can be little increase in
production.
But this country of ours is going to
keep right on growing—and the railroads
must grow with it.
To command in the investment markets
the flow of new capital to expand railroad
facilities—and so increase production —
there must be public confidence in the
future earning power of railroads.
The nation’s business can grow only as
fast as the railroads grow.

At the recent meeting of the
American Association of Agricult-
ural Colleges and Experiment Sta-
tions, held in Chicago, 111., Novem-
ber 12-14, plans were worked out
for an extensive safe farming
campaign to be conducted during
the winter months, according to o
O. Walton, Director of Extensi&J®
| Service, A. and M. College of Tex-
jas, who has just returned from
this meeting.
Realizing the possibility of the
farmers of the south being attract-
ed by the high price and thus in-
duced to plant an excessive acre-
a egto eotton, the Directors of Ex-
tension Services worked out plans
for bringing to their attention the
importance of a well balanced
;; farm program. It was recognized
| that the present prosperity enjoy-
i led by the farmers is not due to
prevailing prices of eotton alone,
The Heart of Humanity,”

days of the conflict, a tender and

of those great days when an anx-

when the forces of humanity came

night of autocracy, and it echoes
