WHEAT IS THE TEST
Supplying food is America’s principal part in the War right now;
Pood means first of all, Wheat. The next two months will tell.
Week by week, because of various hindrances, we have sent over
seas less than the needed quotas—we have eaten into our reserve stock
of wheat. There is no leeway now.
In our saving or selfishness is bound up success or collapse of the
cause. Saving or selfishness is our triumph or shame.
Profiteering is Dangerous
The United States Food Administra
tion, upon recommendation of the Fed
eral Trade Commission, has revoked
the license of the Ismert-Hincke Mill
ing Company, of Kansas City, Mo.,
after it had been proved that the Com
pany's sworn reports to the Food Ad
ministration were not correct and did
not correspond accurately with its
books.
The company arbitrarily and without
authority depreciated its inventory of
Sour and feed packages and bags, and
varied its valuations, to affect im
properly its report as to the cost of
flour manufacture.

Patriotism Passed Along
The civilised world now has two
great enemies—the Central Powers
and Famine. Realization of the latter
menace is evident from editoriakdis-
euasions in the farm press. Among
the stirring messages calling upon ru
ral America to heed the danger, the
following are noteworthy:
. * *
Each One Must Help.
"We need to be awakened to the
gravity of the situation," declares Ohio
Farmer. "We have been over-confi
dent that our great wealth and num
bers make us safe. They do not un
less we use them in our defense. . .
Each one of us must do something to
help. . . . We must support the Allies-
with food and comforts.”
* * *
Missourians Are In Fight To Win.
In its Hun Special number. Missouri
Ruralist says. "Armed for the food
fight, well whip the Hun. Our farm
folks have lined up for the second-line
trench duty to a man—and woman.
We’re proud of ’em. And Uncle Sam
is too. . . . Ail Missourians are in
the food fight to win.”
* * *
Duty vs. Inconvenience.
Successful Farming has no patience
with slackers in the home trenches.
“To eat a little less wheat and a little
more of other grain,” says this paper
of the Middle West, "is a trifling mat
ter. . . . We can rest assured that
the boys who do the fighting will do
their full duty regardless of how much
inconvenience it costs them. Just now
one of the duties of the foil® at home
is to save wheat. . . . There must be
no slackers if we are to win.”
• • •
True American* Support
Food Program.
Commenting on attempted evasions
of food laws, the Southwestern Stock
man-Farmer warns that the penalty
will come sooner or later and adds,
“The man who will evade the law for
selfish gain is no patriot, but rather
an enemy and should be treated as
such by all loyal Americans.”
• • V
Test of Earnestness.
There is plenty of war work for all
to do, at home as well as overseas,
according to the Co-Operative Manager
and Farmer, which declares, “Every
one of us must get into the war per
sonally. . . . The man who is really
in earnest when he says he wants to
see Germany crushed to earth need
only to look about him to find means
whereby be can help to bring about
the results."
THE WORLD’S PANTRY IS BARE OF SURPLUS

1 Andrew M. Soule, President Of College Of Agriculture.

reasons why we should. First of all,

We naturally should increase the
production of peanuts because of the

With favorable seasons there is no
or corn. It supplies the necessary
carbohydrates in the ration very
cheaply, and is a vegetable which can
he prepared in many acceptable forms.
There is a considerable demand for
Irish potatoes In our home markets,
and, in view of the relative scarcity of
flour substitutes, this demand is iike-
,'ly to be greatly increased. We have
been assured that as many cars will
be available for transportation of po
tatoes to eastern markets as were
available in 1917.
The northern part of Georgia, that
1«, the high tableland and mountain
section, is fully capable of producing
all the Irish potatoes needed for use
In this state during the fall and win
ter. This is an industry which has
not been developed to the extent the
conditions in this section of the state
reason why we should not produce a
normal crop of apples and peaches
this year.
We have never been oversupplied
with hay. Our farmers should em
phasize its production in 1918 as never
before.
As to cotton, we must produce It
not only to provide the fiber needed
for clothing, but for its food value
as well. If we will follow the pro
gram outlined above in 1918, we can
feed ourselves, have a reasonable sur
plus to send to other sections of the
country, do our full duty as a cotton,
producing state, and, at the same time
leave ourselves in an enviable condi
tion of prosperity.

• ¥,
Atlanta,—Reports received by
High Richardson, State Director
from the National Headquart
ers of the War Saving Stamp
Committee, place Georgia in the
emarrassing position of tail-end-
er among all the states, in the
sale of Thrif and War Saving
Stamps,
Surely ther has never been de
vised an easier method of aiding
one’s country and at the same
making patriotism pay divi
dends, than by purchasing War
Saving Stamps. For the sum of
$4.17 a Stamp can be purchased
during June, which increaser in
value at the rate of 4 per cent,
compounded, until on January
first 1923 it is worth, and wiil be
redeemed, at its face value, Five
Dollars.
Each and every citizen of
Georgia, male and female is ask
ed by Uncle Sam to purchase at
least Twenty Dollars worth of
War Saving Stamps during the
year. Certainly this is not
much to ask when it is consider
ed that the amount is merely a
loan to the Government at the
high rate backed by the strong
est security in the world.
President Wilson has pro
claimed June 28th as National
War Saving Stamps Day. On
that day, if you have not alredy
done so, you will be sked to
pledge your quota. Cut out
some of the little unnecessaries
and invest in War Saving
Stamps. You will be helping
your Government and cultivat-
for yourself a habit of thrift and
economy that will stand you in
good stead in yur old age.
Lemon Juice Is
Freckle Remover
Girls! Make this Cheap Beauty Lotion
to Clear and Whiten Your Skin.
Squeeze the juice of two lemons into
a bottle containing three ounces of or
chard white, shake well, and you have
a quarter pint of the best freckle and
tan lotion, and complexion beautifier,
at very, very small cost.
Your grocer has the lemons and any
drug store or toilet counter will supply
three ounces of orchard white for a few
cents. Massage this sweetly fragrant
lotion into the face, neck, arms and
hands each day and see how freckles
and blemishes disappear and how clear,
soft and white the skin becomes. Yes!
It is harmless.
WOMEN TORTURED!
Suffer Terribly With Corns Be
cause of High Heels, But Why
Suffer Now.
Women wear high heels which
buckle up their toes and they suf
fer terribly with corns. Women
then proceed to trim these pests,
seeking relief, but they hardly
realize the terrible danger from in
fection, says the Cincinnati au
thority.
Corns can easily be lifted out
with the fingers if you will get
from any drug store a quarter of
an ounce of a drug called freezone.
This is sufficient to remove every
hard or soft corn or callus from
one's feet. You simply apply a
few drops directly upon the ten
der, aching corn or callus. The
soreness is relieved at once and
soon the entire corn or callus, root
and all, lifts our without one par
ticle of pain.
This freezone is a sticky sub
stance which dries in a moment.
It just shrivels up the corn with
out inflaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue g^or skin.
Tell yourwife about this.
So They Are.
Burglars and bookkeepers are alike
in one respect—they are both used to
making entries.

An Art Aphorism.
Here is an art aphorism from Jean
Francois Millet: “I have been re
proached for not observing detail; I
see It, bnt I prefer to construct the
synthesis which as an artistic effort Is
higher and more robust. You reproach
me with insensibility to charm; why, I
open your eyes to that which yoo do
not perceive, but which ia none the less
real—the dramatic.”
POTATOES AND PATRIOTISM.
Every potato in the land is crying to be eaten, crying to be allowed
to save wheat. Satisfy your hunger with potatoes.

toes. Skim milk may be used. Bake In a moderate oven until done.
The length of time required depends upon whether the potatoes are raw
or bodied and whether the baking dish used is deep or shallow. Boiled
potatoes baked in a shallow dish will take only 20 minutes. Raw pota
toes In a deep dieh may take as much as 1 1-2 hou-s.
A SHEPHERD'S PIE
Grease a baking dish: cover the bottom with mashed potatoes. Add
a laysr of cooked minced meat or fish, seasoned well and mixed with
