The plan of the Federal Department of Agriculture Is to
foster home gardens, to encourage thrift by teaching people
to can fruit and vegetables for home use as they do in every
thrifty community, to have farmers grow their own corn,
oats, hay, peas, beans, potatoes, and some cane or sorghum
for syrup, and to produce their own meat supply from a

acreage, unless more acres were taken but under this
plan we would establish a live-stock industry sufficient to
utilize the waste land. On every farm there is waste land
which could be made productive live stock.

been sadly neglected In all our Southern territory.

their loans and finance the agriculture of the South as a
