THE PROGRAM FOB FOOD SAVING
Something like ten million American
women have signed the food pledge
cards and so have undertaken through
the exercise of economy in the home
Ito help win the war. This is a very
wonderful army which has been assem
i bled, and that they will accomplish
| something worth while is a self-evident
fact to every one acquainted with the
• energy, the efficiency and the deter
mination of American womanhood.
While this is true, thousands of those
who have signed the pledge cards are
not quite clear in their own minds as
to what they are expected to undertake
and how to proceed to accomplish the
end the food administration has in view.
On this account it seems proper to review
in a somewhat brief manner the latest
advice and instructions which have been
issued on the subject of food conserva-
I tibn.
To begin with, we are expected to
have one wheatless day each week and
one wheatless meal each day. By this
is meant that no wheat will be used
in the preparation of any of the breads
eaten at the wheatless meal or on the
wheatless day. It is very important
I to get this matter clearly in mind,
because a lot of people imagine that if
i they do not eat white bread that it is
all right to use whole wheat or gra
ham bread. Rolls, of course, are not tc
be used in any form. This same ad
vice applies to the wheatless day. In
ord*;- that every one may have a def
inite objective to work towards, it
is advised that Wednesday may be re
garded als the wheatless day. If it is
known that bread will not be used on
Wednesday, the baker knows better how
to organize his work and so effects a
saving in white bread. The merchant
knows that on that particular day, or
the day before, he will be expected to
have on hand a plentiful supply of sub
stitutes for weat flour. These may
consist of oatmeal, barley meal, rye
flour, cornmeal, buckwheat flour and
rice. To say that it entails a sacrifice,
therefore, to have a wheatless day each
week is without foundation. In Amer
ica we have several cereals which we
can substitute satisfactorily for wheat.
Across the waters their supply and
varietey are much more restricted
than ours. We can be equally well
nourished and fed on just as palatable
and desirable food, if we substitute
the other cereals mentioned, for wheat
as if we ate ourselves to repletion on
that particular product. Those who
THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 1918.
will not join in the saving of wheat,
therefore, under the ideA that it imposes
a hardship or will interfere with the
proper nourishment of the family are
selfish, unpatriotic and uninformed.
The food saving program includes one
meatless day each week which has been
designated as Tuesday. Here again it
is desirable that there be uniformity of
action for the benefit of the butcher
and the supply man. By meatless day
is meant one in which no red meat is
consumed. Under this class would fall
such meat as beef, pork, mutton, veal
and lamb. None of these animal prod
ucts are to be consumed on the day in
question, whether obtained in a fresh
form from the butcher shop or as pre
served meat. In other words, dried
beef, bacon, ham and lard are as much
tabooed as the fresh red meat. This is
very Important to remember, for as a
matter of fact, the canned foods are
even more essential for use abroad
than the fresh meats. Hence, both
must be saved in order that there may
be a supply of fresh product to can,
and in order that the canned product
may be available for shipment abroad.
This program does n«< exercise any
hardship on the people of the United
States because they are still left fish,
fresh and canned in all its various
forms, eggs and chickens, and one who
cannot provide three hearty and satis
factory meals from the great array of
sea food which we have in America and
the abundance of chickens and eggs
which has always characterized our
country Is Indeed a poor home man
ager. While it has not been announced
as a meatless day, It is presumed that
Friday will also be so regarded.
In addition to the above there should
be one porkless day. and it is suggested
that this be Saturday. This program
means, of course, that no fresh slaugh
tered pork, bacon, ham or lard be used
on that particular day. Bacon constf
plenty of fat, hence the necessity of
soldier’s ration. He must also have
plenty of fat, hence th enecessity of
saving lard. It is important to remem
ber In this connection that the number
of hogs In the United States actually
decreased by something like seven mil
lion last year. Statistics show that we
also ate nearly three and a half pounds
more pork per capita than ever before
in the history of our country. The num
ber of Swine abroad has decreased ma
terially: hence if we are to supply the
pork which Is needed for our army and
our navy and our allies. It must be ob
tained through the national savings of
these products. Det us all remember.
; therefore, that Saturday in future is to
be a porkless day.
Wa are expected now not to use more
than three pounds of sugar per person
per month. This is all the sugar the
food administration can undertake to
make available per capita. This amount
has oeen fixed due to the necessity of
sending sugar abroad and by reason of
th* visible siipnly available for con
sumption during next year. It Is not
a difficult thing to reduce the consump
tion of sugar. Many of us have been
using five lumns of sugar in a cup of
coffiee. The fact Is we have not been
drinking coffee at all. but some sort of
la eweefpned liauld we call coffee. As a
rule half of the coffee was left in the
bottom of the cup and so was thrown ,
awav and wasted. One lump ner cun
will n««wer verv well If we reduce the
ouantity of sweetened drinks we con
'snme we can easilv ret along on a su
gar consumption of three pounds per
month per person. You will see at
once that this allows a good ounce and j
*» half nor dnv. It is true that we have
been consuming from three to four !
ounces, but it would have been better I
*or vs as a nation If we had con.Rvrned
leas sugar. No sneHal hardship Is
♦ hereforA tn be worked on the Individual
•n asking him to comply with this su
gar regulation.
There are three prinrinal elements
whirh go to make nn the ration of the |
human being Thev cnnsfst of what is
I known as protein which Is chiefly pres
ent in meat, beans, fish, pnultrv, milk
and to a less extent, in grains. In this
country we eat from 80 to 90 per cent
more protein than is required to main
tain health. We can reduce the amount
of meat we have been consuming by
one-half withn”t In any way lessening
our national efficiency. At the same
time we will save millions of pounds
of meat for our men at the fighting
front and will also stabilize meat pro
duction and eliminate the dangers of
famine In this direction.
Fat is also needed bv the human be
ing. We obtain it chiefly in butter,
cream, lard, bacon, beans and vegetable
oils such as cottonseed nil. We eat
and waste 240 per cent more fat than is
necessary, resulting in the overworking
of the digestive organs and the discom
fort of our bodies generally. Fat has
now become one of the most precious
and essential of our foodstuffs. It is
bringing several dollars a pound in
Germany. We need fat not only for our
program in war production, but for the
proper nutrition of our soldiers. Det us
reduce the consumption of fats by. at
least 200 per cent. Tn other words, eat
in future only one-third as much butter
and cream as you have been consuming,
and you will be better off if you follow
out this program.
There Is another series of element’
which the human being must have con
sisting of carbohydrates. These are the
heat and energy producers. In this class
we find the grains, sugar, potatoes and
other vegetables. We can obtain the
supply of carbohydrates we need from
corn, oats and other cereals. Vegeta
bles supply carbohydrates in abundance
Det ur use these and so save the wheat.
In conclusion, let nothing be wasted,
clean the plate, serve small portions,
purchase less of essential supplies, and
remember that in carrying this simple
porgram into effect you are as truly a
soldier of T’ncle Sam as if you were
following the Stars and Stripes to the
battle front. You are protecting and
prolonging the life of the American boy
who has offered his services to his coun
try and has already gone to the front.
You are sustaining the fighting power
of our allies and thereby lightening the
task which will otherwise devolve upon
America.
FIGHTING ANTHRACNOSE TN
COTTON
E P.. Central. S. C., write*: My soil
i is a gray cold soil with sandy clay subsoil,
i Cooke cotton seems best for my laud, but
there is ao much anthracnose in my cotton
thia Tear that I dare not plant the seed,
j would Hk< t to get some pure seed. <an
you suggest some other variety that will
• suit my land better? #
Cooke's cotton is a good variety and
has made a satisfactory showing >
the tests conducted by us, not only at
Athens, but in various other parts of
this state. It is probably more readily
■ attacked by anthracnose than some othei
I strains. At least this seems to have
been our experience with it. We are
of the opinion, however, that certain
strains of it are more subject to this
disease than others. Anthracnose, as yon
know, causes very considerable losses
to the cotton growers of the southeast-
ern states. On this account work was
commenced at this institution several
years ago looking toward the develop
ment of a strain that would be more
resistant to this disease. Considerable
progress was made in this direction
and the variety known as Sunbeam was
developed. It has now been quite ex
tensively cultivated in Georgia and has
proven quite satisfactory, not only as
a variety of cotton suited to general
cultivation, but on account of Its very
considerable ability to resist anthrac
nose. We think it desirable for you to
secure one of the better selected strain-’
of this variety. We think you will find
it quite satisfactory for growth under
your conlltions. It is a reasonably early
sort, possesses a good quality df fiber
and yields a very satisfactory percent
age of lint. The seed are also of very
good quality. In yield it has compared
quite favorably with such other va
rieties we have tested and during sev
eral seasons it has stood at the head
of the list.
FACTS ABOUT RAW ROCK
PHOSPHATE
M. S. W„ Albany, Ga.. writes: 1 would
like what information you can give me re
garding raw ground phosphate. It is fine
enough so that 70 per cent will pass
through a sieve with 40.000 openings to
the square inch. Several farmers who have
used it seem to think it is valuable for all
crop* and a great land builder. I would
appreciate your opinion concerning it.
There is undoubtedly a place for
ground phosphate rock in connection
with the development of a system of
permanent agriculture in Georgia. The
proper handling of this material, how
ever, should be thoroughly understood
and appreciated before one attempts to
use it too extensively. It is rather a new
material to our people. The scarcity of
sulphuric acid, of course, has greatly
enhanced the price of acid phosphate
and hence a great many concerns are
attempting to sell ground rock phos
phate as a substitute for acid phos
phate. They particularly urge farmers
to use it because of its cheapness. It
is true that the ground rock phosphate,
when of good grade, contains a high
per cent of phosphoric acid, but farmers
do not as a rule understand that this
is not in an available condition and
may not become available in a single
crop season so as to be of any use to
•the plants growing on the land.
Those intending to use phosphate
rock should bear the following sugges
tions in mind: They should be able
to purchase it at a relatively low cost.
It must be ground very finely. It
should be used at the rate of 1,000
pounds per acre on long-season crops,
on lands rich in organic matter or which
may be enriched by heavy applications
of yard manure or green crops turned
under, and the farmer should be will
ing to wait a considerable time for re
sults. On short-season crops where lib
eral rations of quickly available phos
phoric acid are needed to insure the
proper maturity of the crop, we advise
the use of suitable amounts of acid
phosphate. On meadows and pastures
and on some of our winter-growing ce
reals, rations of ground phosphate rock
can probably be used to some advan
tage. Where one is in position to apply
liberal amounts of this material and
wait several years for results, benefits
from its use will no doubt accrue.
Farmers should also remember that in
purchasing this material that it is de
sirable to obtain that running very high
•In total phosphoric acid, say, about 32 to
35 per cent and relatively low in iron:
and aluminum oxide. This material is'
essentially valuable for the phosphoric i
acid it contains.
THE VALUE OF DRIED HLQUD AND
GOAT MANURE
C. V.: --Boynton, Ila., writes: What is
your opinion of dried blood and goat ma
nure as a fertilizer?
•I Ai I
Dried blood is an important carrier of :
nitrogen. Its color varies from red to
black, depending on the temperature at
which it is dried. The bright red blood
is generally considered to be of more
value for fertilizing purposes than
the dark blood.
Blood contains from 13 to 15 per cent
of nitrogen. The black dried blood var
ies greatly in compostion, the percent
age of the foregoing element varios
from six to twelve. The dark blood
may contain as much as 3 to 4 per cent
of phosphoric acid. For field crops the
dark blood would probably be as ser
viceable as any kind you could purchase.
For truck crops it is probably desirable
to use light colored.
I would say that goat and sheep man
ure are very much the same in compo
sition, It would vary, of course, in
compositon according to the age and
condition of the animal producing it and
the character of feed used In the dally
ration. Ordinarily goat manure would
probably contain from twelve to eight
een pounds of nitrogen, five to seven
pounds of phosporic acid, and thirteen
to nineteen pounds of potash per 100
Jobson Calls On
All Leaders To
Help Farmers
Realizing that the time is at hand for
the farmers of this country to set their
hands to the big task of raising the
greatest crop ever produced, John B.
Jobson, expounder of the Common Sense
System of Deep Plowing and inventor of
the remarkable Jobson plow, makes a di
rect appeal to public officials and leadi
ng farmers everywhere .o help in the
big movement to put in more effective
methods that will enable every worker
to produce a bigger crop with less la
bor and expense.
“It’s now or never,’’ says Mr. Job
son, “for the deep plowing season is
right on us. We’re straining every
nerve to place the benefits of our Sys
tem on 100,000 farms in ample time to
produce millions of extra bushels; but
with the help of farm demonstrators and
thinking inen all over the South we can
and will double this large figure.
“In many sections of the South, coun
ty and even state officials are deeply in
terested in the work, and they are pro
ducing big results. There Is no possible
shadow of a doubt about the new deep
tilling plow being the one implement
that meets the critical need of the hour.
Xo thinking man will doubt this when
he has investigated and learned what
practical farmers and experimental ag
riculturists have to say about it. Dike
the little percussion cap. it has revolu
ionized methods in its field.
“But the question is, how to get this
all over the country in the quickest pos
sible time. Everybody must gel busy
and help.’’
Mr. Jobson appeals to the good judg
ment and patriotism of every man in the
South, and he says to tell any farmer in
this entire section that he can not af
ford to begin his spring plowing without
making inquiry into the Jobson System.
If any farmer in the whole country
has failed to get full information about
the Jobson System, let him write to P.
O. Box 672, Atlanta, Ga.. and Mr. Job- (
son will see to it personally that a free
booklet is sent. Retail dealers almost
everywhere are active in this work. Ask
your merchant qbout it. Tell him to
snow you a Jobson Plow and ask him
for some Jobson System literature.

The minister was careful to say that

British Labor Party Sends
Message to Russian People
NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—(Summay of
European Cables.)—While German lead
ers are undecided as to what course to
pursue in the peace negotiations with
Russia, the British Dabor party has is
sued a message to the Russian people,
supporting the principle of self-deter
mination of peoples and no annextions
for the British empire. Appeal also is
made to the peoples of Germany and
Austria-Hungary to support a policy of
, self-determination and no annexations.
Although the Russo-German peace ne
i gotiations were reported recently to
have been indefinitely suspended a Ber
lin newspaper is quoted today as declar
ing they were resumed at Brest-Ditovsk
Monday. Plausibility is given this state
ment by the sac k that German advices ,
carry the inference that Foreign Secre
tary von Kuehlmann and his fellow
delegates are still at Brest-Ditovsk, and
the fuijther fact, apparent from Petro
grad dispatches that Deon Troizky, the
Bolsheviki foreign minister who has
been heading the Rusisan delegation has
not returned to Petrograd.
pounds. The larger figures represent the
maximum amounts and the smaller fig
ures robably a fair average. The value
of this material for fertilizing purposes
would depend much on the character of
the bedding with which it is admixed.
It is, of course, a very good form of fer
tilizer if it can be purchased at a rea
sonable price. Dike most yard manures,
it is not unusually rich in plant food
and is particularly deficient in phos
phoric acid. It should, therefore, be
used at the rate of two tons and up
wards per acre, depending on the nature
of the crops to be grown and the char
acter of the land to which it is to be
applied. It should be used In connection
with a considerable amount of phos
phoric acid in order that it may be bal
anced up and so brought into a proper
equilibrium in order to furnish the nec
essary constituents required by growing
crops.
One could not tell from the examina
tion of a sample of either of these ma
terials by the eye as to their fertilizing
value. The only way to purchase either
one is on the basis of a guarantee,
which you can no doubt obtain either di
rectly from the handlers of this mater
ial or through the agency of your state
department of ffgriculture. Presumably
you have a fertilizer inspection system
in Florida.

TREATING INDIGESTION IN DAXBT
COWS.
W. 11. J., Randleman, Ga., writes: I I
■ have a cow nine years old. She is a strong
milker, but at times she has something like
indigestion. It takes her appetite and
stops the flow of milk and throws her
into a high fever. Can you tell me what
wilt prevent these spells?
Evidently, from what you say, your
cow is suffering from some form of in
digestion. This may be due to the char
acter of the food you are giving her or
to some organic trouble. The chances
are it is caused by the use of an im
proper ration. If you are feeding hulls ■
and cottonseed meal I am sure you are
not combining them properly, or you are
over-feeding. When these materials
are used as food for a cow she should
be allowed only one pound of meal to
five pounds of hulls. Under no circum
stances should you feed her over four
or five pounds of meal a day. For a
small cow four pounds is enough. This
is not a well constituted ration for
cows at best. In .other words, you
should provide some succulent feed
such as fresh cut sorghum, corn or any*'
other green crop will provide. It is ad
visable that your cow have st. pasture
over which she can graze. This will
help to keep her in good condition by
necessitating her taking a sufficient
amount of exercise. Supply her with
an abundance of pure water. See that
her manger is properly cleaned and
kept in a good condition. Washing it
out with sal soda once in a while will
be helpful.
Instead of feeding cottonseed meal j
alone feed half corn meal and half cot- I
tonseed meal. Do not allow the cow
to gorge herself one time and then let
her go for some time without food. Tn ,
other words, regularity in feeding is
necessary.
You should draw the milk out of the i
udder thoroujrhlv and completelv. If it :
becomes congested bathe with hot wa- '
ter for twenty rpinutes at a time two ’
or three times dailf and wipe with a ,
dry cloth. Then rub the udder
vaseline to prevent chafing.
A digestive tonic could be given with
advantage, especially when the cow is i
suffcrirx- fmm a mor<* or less chronic i
form of indigestion. We believe th*
use of nlentv of green feed a«d the use
of the concentrates indicate.!, however,
will result in Improving the condition
of your cow very materially.

Order Fertilizers Now
or You May Have to Do
Without Them This
Season
The freight congestion is serious. You
will help yourselves, us, the railroads, and the
Government by giving your order for Fer
tilizers NOW to your dealer. If all the
farmers do this, the dealer can then “bunch”
his orders, and be able to order his cars of
fertilizers loaded to full capacity. The Gov
ernment urges that all cars be so loaded.
When the goods arrive haul them home,
and put them into your barn, until you are
ready to use them. If the movement of rail
road cars becomes any more serious you may
not get a pound of fertilizer at any price.
Our 50 factories, and distributing points,
are so well located geographically as to enable
us to get fertilizers to you with minimum

Increasing the Crop Raising
Power of Labor
Labor is scarce, but in spite of the scarcity, we must have Maxi
mum Crops to win this war.
The Crop Producing Power of Labor must, therefore, be in
creased. It can be done.
Labor counts for more on rich or well fertilized land than on poor
land. It takes, of course, as much labor to grow a crop on poor
soil as on fertile soil. ' • ’
The amount of Plant Food in the soil to be cultivated this year will
determine largely the efficiency of the farm labor and measure the
success of growing the Maximum Crops we must have. *
Not more acres, hut better fertilized acres; not more plants,
but better fed plants, afford the only hope.
One ton of Fertilizer will do more to grow Cotton than six
times its cost spent for labor. Other crops likewise. There
fore, use Fertilizer liberally. But make sure to get it_by
ordering without delay.
Put your Fertiliser problems up to the Agri
cultural Experts of the Farm Service Bureau
