Autf. 10th. aa mail matter of he second class. Cumming, Ga., May 25, 1917. From Miss Deaton. (In Buford Advertiser.) The appended article which deals with the food question, a problem which confronts the entire world, was prepared by Miss Willie Mae Deaton, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. N. G. Dea ton, of Buford, and a member of the student body at the State Normal. The Advertiser takes pleas ure in reproducing the article in full: To the people of Gwinnett county: In this, the greatest crisis in the history of our nation, the most momentous problem of people is not the question of ammunition and great numbers of men, but of producing a suf ficient amount of food for the soldiers at front and the people who must necessarily remain at home. Heretofore the South alone has imported $600,000,000 worth of foodstuffs from the middle west. Georgia’s part in the sum expended was $85,000, 000. We can readily see from this that in the future the South will not only be compelled to produce as much as she has pre viously produced, but an addi tional amount of $6000,000,000 How can Georgia meet her part of this obligation? First by bringing into use all the uncultivated land which con sists of 15,000,000 acres. Think of what the Cultivation of all this land would mean to the South and even to the entire -.lfTPteci States.' ' T Second To decrease the rais ing of cotton and increase the raising of food stuffs. \V hat is the value of raising so much cotton when, after all, we are only exchanging dollars for dol lars when we buy so much grain from the middle west ? Third The raising of live stock and poultry is very impor tant as food. If we used only the eggs produced in Georgia, we would average only seven dozen eggs per person a year, or about one fourth of an egg a day. The only way to meet the de mands of these trying times is to make the amount we produce equal or exceed the amount we consume. Th following plan for a one horse farm has been suggested by Dr. A. M. Soule, president of the State College of Agriculture 5 acres in corn and velvet beans; 5 acres in cow peas;; 5 acres in cotton; 5 acres in pea nuts to be crushed for oil or grazed down by hogs; 1-2 acre in sweet potatoes to be followed b y winter cover crops; 1-2 acres in alfalfa; 1 acre in rape oats, vech, cow peas o soy beans; 1 acre in truck crops; 10 acres in pasturage; 1-2 acre in orch ard; */a acre garden. Total 20 acres. Animals which should be maintained : 1 horse or mule, 2 milk cows. 1 calf,' 50 hens, 1 yearling, (slaughter for meat,) 2 brood sows. Total 57. If every one-horse farm in Georgia should raise this a mount, it would truly be a joke about the people of Georgia starving, and Georgia would more than meet her part of the South’s obligation. But suppose we do not? If every farmer should make his plans now to grow at least enough wheat for ten persons. Georgia -would supply herself with all the wheat needed in 1(718. This would mean that each farmer must raise seven hundred bushels per person. Do we fully realize the grav ity of the situation? Is each farmer willing to do his part? The deficiency of this year’s wheat crop can be partly over come by planting upland rice, and all truck needed by our towns and cities. We cannot stress too strong ly the importance of increasing the corn crop, as it can be sub stituted to some extent, for the wheat crop. If the farmers of Georgia would only wake up to the sit uation it would be needless to plead for the growing of more food crops and the production of a greater amount of butter, milk and eggs. Wishing for the farmers of Gwinnett county a very prosper ous year. Willie Mae Deaton In Loving Memory. Of our dear uncle Mathew Pursell, who left this world for his heavenly home on March 12th, 1917 and his remains were laid to rest at Cross Plains cemetery on the 13th, amid sor rowing relatives and friends he was borne to his last resting place on earth but we know his blessed spirit is now resting -safe in the arms of his dear Savior.

CAMPBELL PRAISES TANLAC Say Her Son Had to Live on Milk, Eggs and Orange Juice. "My son is so much better since taking Tanlac that he doesn’t look like the same boy,” said Mrs. L. Campbell in ref erence to her eighteen-year-old son, W. H. Campbell, whose condition of ill health has been the subject of great concern to his parents. Mrs. Campbell’s husband is engineer for the Acme Building and supply Cos., of Meridian, Miss., and the fam ily resides at 1417 Fifteenth street, that city. "Yes,” added the son, who had come in just in time to hear his mother’s remark. “I don’t feel like the same boy, either, for I am gaining and feeling better every day.” “He has had a bad form of stomach trouble for the past three years,” continued Mrs. Campbell, “and for several months the boy was actually so bad off he had to live on milk and orange juice and a few eggs. He had a job with the street car company, but had to give it up on account of his con dition. “He simply couldn’t eat any thing that would agree with him and he would suffer so much with griping and pains that he’d have to be up and down all night. "We had several doctors to see him and they said a number of different things was the trou ble and advised us to send him to a hospital. He wasn’t able to do anything in the way of work and nothing seemed to do him any good until we found out about Tanlac and got him started on it. \ He is now on his third bottle and he has improved so much that you’d hardly know him. He sleeps well at night and gets up in the morning bright and cheerful and all his old troubles have left him. It had been three years since he could do any thing to help around the house, but now he cuts up the wood and kindling and can do just anything like that. “We are all mighty proud of what Tanlac has done for my boy and we are glad to recom mend it.” Tanlac is sold by: Cumming Drug Store.
