THE FOOD SITUATION
(By C. W. Pugsley, Director Agricul
tural Extension Service, Synopsis' of
Paper Read before Rotary Club of
Lincoln, April 17, 1917.)
On April 10, at St. Louis, Secretary
of Agriculture D. F. Houston brought
representatives of agricultural col
leges and state boards of agriculture
from thirty-five states to attention
by suclr sledge hammer blows as the
following:
Tho whole world is at war.
Forecasts indicate short crops this
year.
Breeding herds are being depleted.
This forecasts a shortage of meat.
Are wc confronted with a world's
famine?
If the world i3 fed tho American
farmer must feed it.
If the war iu won tho American
farmer must win it.
We iu this great central west do
not realize that wc owe obligations
jiS v. orld citiv.ons. Our furms we found
ready fur our plows without the use
of the axe or tho removal of htoncs.
They are buffiiiuntly limed to keep
them t'weet and so abundant in fer
tility that wc can maintain high yields
for generations by the use of only
common sense ami labor. We produce
every iicoeity i, life and produce it
so abundantly thnt wo trade it for
luxuries of all kinds. People ionic to
us for nil, bringing what they havo
for barter.
We are so far removed fioni the
conflict that wo havo regarded tho
war as some horrible thing far away.
Wo havo been willintr to nrofit bv
high juices paid for our necessities
tlie high prces made possible by shed
ding tlie life blood of 0,000,000 bravo
men killed and 15,000,000 wounded. In
our security ind self contentment wo
read in our daily papers of food riots
in Germany, Franco and England
without n tremor and many of us
have not felt disturbed when thoy oc
curred as they havo only recently in
New York and Chicago.
An indication of the serious food
shortage can lo found by glancingl
at tne wheat production and consump-
I tion of this country during the Inst
two years, in ivia tne united stares
produced approximately 10 bushels
per capita. In 1910 we produced only
(! bushels per capitn, and we used for
our own consumption CM: bushels,
thus using one-half more bushels
than wo produced. The forecasts for
1917 indicato that wo will produce
1 l?ss than in 191G. This will mean
I that we havo nothing to export, for
' tlio stores left on hand amount to
practically nothing. Whon wc add to
this tho shortage of wheat in every
country in tho world, we can begin
to realize the seriousness of the food
situntion.
I The most important sinirlo limitinc
factor in increasing production is the
J farm labor supply. Six million men
i have already been killed in tho Euro
pean war and there nre now '1,500,000
men in prison cnnips. Fifteen million
men have boon wounded, of which
number 1,500,000 have been perman
ently incapacitated, and there nro yet
5,000,000 in the hospitals, a portion of
whom will not recover and n portion
will bo incapacitated for life. There
arc now under arms approximately
39,000,000 men and tho number is bo-
ing increased dally. This makes 60,
000,000 of the ablest bodied men of
the world withdrawn from tho ranks
of producers. To this depletion of
farm labor in other countries we are
now adding our bit.
Any plan for public defense should
Include n very definite provision for
the enlistment of people for labor in
increasing the food supply. This pro
vision Miould be as definite as the en
listment of people " service at the
front. The nrmi03 nt the front would
be of no value if they were not sup
plied with food. There iire more than
2,000,000 boyS between the ages of
15 and 10 years ni cities nnd town3
not now engaged in productive woJc
vital to the nation in the present wnr
emergency. .
Should America enlist nn industri
al arinyV
As a matter of fact mo?t Nebraska
farmers use tho 'greater portion of
' ! T Pu , Sinter portion or
i their land. Tho labor nrohlcm is tht-
'"".. " i'"-"-" " mur iiuivu
for the production of more food per
man than any other, farmer in the
world. When it comes to the produc
tion of more food per ncre, however,
ho is not nt the top of the list. He
is nn extensive farmer rather than
an intensive farmer. The time hits
now como when it will be necessary
for the fnrms to produce more or the
world will suffer. Farming will be
profitable for higli prices will main
tain for some time even f the war
should close nt mien.
He will doubtless increase his corn
acreage to the maximum this year and
it will be necessary for us to use corn
meal instead fo wheat flour. Wo nnn
also grow sonic buckwhent in case
any of the acreage is unsuccessful, for
buckwhent can be planted late. There
is a movement to use tractors for
seeding lnrge acrenges of grain crops
for the tractor works without tiring
nnd cats no grain.
The most important increase in Ne
braska will come as n result of the
effort of each individual family to be
come ns t:211rly self-supporting as
possible. If each family in the state
of Nebraska would grow all the po
tatoes and beans needed they would
have for themselves a balanced ra
tion nnd would relieve for use else
where the potatoes and beans thev
usually buy on tho market. In this
time of emergency it seems to me that
we should make the very greatest use
of the backyards, vacant lots and the
waste places within the city liniit.i.
Each town dweller can help in this
respect. There are also many wnste
places around the farm which would
produce much food.
It is suggested that there is some
fertile land in the state not used and
under existing laws not nvnilnblo to
one who vid:cs to u-?e it. We should
have a law which would permit any
person, upon application, to tho pro
per officials, the use of any farmland
not used for food production, return
ing to the owner a reasonable rental.
I some fields only a few miles from
Lincoln, held bv some nbsontpf. lnml.
lord for speculation, which have never
Lcen plowed or pastured, the neigh
boring farmers having made repeated
efforts to rent the land.
.It has been suggested that farmers
and others should be permitted to use
tlie waste land along our highways.
In tho western part of the state per
haps half of the highways are already
used as pastures. I estimate that in
Nebraska we have more than 000,000
acres of land now being used as pub
lic highways. Perhaps one-third of
this could bo used for crops without
in any way interfering with good road
building or maintenance. This would
add 300,000 acres to our producing
area. The farmer with land adjoin
ing should have first right. Under
the present law he cannot even plow
without tho consent or direction of
the overseer of roads and if he docs is
subject to a fine of from $5 to $25. If
tlie farmer doe not wish to Uoe the
road then another should have tlie
right.
In addition to the public roads I find
that we iiave more than 150,000 acres
in railroad right-of-ways, and that ap
proximately one-half of this or 75,000
acres could be used for farming. Tlie
farmer abutting should have tlie first
right again upon payment of reason
able rental.
The St. Louis conference called
special attention to the necessity of
improving our system of distribution
that wo may use less labor, and have
less waste. They recommended u
food survey," nnd price fixing and gov
ernment contioMf thc.necessity should
arise. "They called attention to the
car shortage and the need of prefer
ential shipments of food and farm
material. I have been informed that
many cars of the poorer class have
been sent to Russia by way of the
Pacific where they are used to move
armies, and their supplies.
Let mo call attention to a recent
statement by n professor of Bonn
university of Germany, thnt a "fam
ine is staring America in the face."
There is more possibility of this than
we Ike to admit. Tho professor, how
ever, has forgotten two things. First,
that we produce 2,750,000,000 bushels
of corn as against 775,000,000 bushels
of wheat, nnd that wo can increase
the amount tremendously by adding"
southern acreage anil that we enn
ent corn bread. Ho was thinking on
ly ot our wheat. Second, that Ameri
ca is not likely to starve first for Eu
rope must depend upon us for her
food.
I wish to close with another stntc-
nient of the professor's, thnt "upon
the Americnn wheat field the war will
lie decided," and with the first state
ment of the St. Louis conference:
"Upon the fnrmer rests in lnrge mea
sure the responsibility of winning tho
war in which wo nre now involved.
Therefore, tho man who tills tho soil
and supports the soldier in the field,
nnd the family at home, is rendering
as noble and patriotic a service ns tho
man who hears tho Drum ol unttlc."

Luk'e McLuke Says: '
The reason why n wdmnti knows thnt
her lint li right In stylo this year is
because It looks like something thnt
tho garbage mini refused to curry
n way.
It Isn't nlwnys love thnt makes a
womnn cop out a Iiuninn wart hog for

Vou can climb pretty high In the
world, but you never get so high that
you are above suspicion.
A mnnl.s usually willing to give the
devil bin due, but he Isn't so consider

The man who undertakes to demon
strato that a gun Isn't loaded Is usually
paving the way for another undcrtak

The trouble with the nverngp girl is
thnt she ImnglncH thnt her life work
Is accomplished when she bus copped
