rood Prepared by Federal Food Adminiairation for Georgia ,w Aimi v 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.

May 6, 1918. From now until next harvest wheat la a luxury to be used only by babies, invalids and the very poor. Abstain from wheat and wheat products—start a. wheatleas-tiU-harvest club. 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 fruit yield was also exceptionally good. Hay went up 100,000 tons, and we made a normal crop of cotion besides. This year we are expected to do bet ter than in 1918, and there are urgent reasons why we should. First of all, our wheat and oat Crops have been se riously injured by the winter freezes from one planting season to another. We naturally should increase the production of peanuts because of the wonderful value for animal and hu man food ibis crop possesses. A ton of peanuts yields about seventy to eighty gallons of oil equal to olive oil for food purposes.

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.

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. GOOD TO THE LAST DROP MAXWELL HOUSE COFTEE RSK YOUR GROCER „ Legal Advertisements. CITY MARSHAL S SALE.

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.
