and nutritious. The use of these sub
stitutes will, in many instances, im
prove the quality of bread by adding
elements to it in which it may be lack
ing. Wheat flour substitutes may In
clude bran, short*, middlings, corn flour,
corn meat, edible corn starch, hominy
corn grits, barley flour, rolled oats: oat
meal. rice, rice flour. Irish potato flout,
sweet potato flour, buckwheat flour,
cottonseed flour, milo maise. kafir corn,
teterita flour and meal, soy bean flour,
peanut flour, cassava flour and other
products. Twenty to twenty-five per
* ent of any of the above substitutes
may be mixed with wheat flour and a
very desirable bread obtained. There - s
probably no other country in the world
which, facing an emergency similar to
that by which we are now confronted,
would be fortunate in having at is
command one-third of the desirable
bread substitutes we produce so com
monly and abundantly here in the
1 sited States, and which most of our
housewives know how to use to some
extent. If cornbread, for instance, is
a stranger in many homes, it is a na
tional misfortune that this should be
the case, and it will be to our advantage I
if the war makes us understand and ap-
■ reciate more thoroughly the value of
corn and so utilize it to a reasonable
extent in our national dietary as a I
wheat substitute.
The foregoing paragraphs present ■
briefly the wheat and flour situation
as it exists today, and give the ma.n
reasons why our national program of
wheat and flou* - saving has become es
sential. The people of the United States .
may be certain that our government in i
asking for the use of 70 per cent ot ;
their previous flour requirements and
the purchase of flour and other cereals
on a fifty-fifty basis did so because ‘4 '
v.as essential-that we conserve a sufli
< tent amount of wheat for the use ot
our army and navy and our associates
..broad and .insure the freedom of Amer-'
'-a in the conflict in which we are
ow engaged. Those •who sense and
•eaitre the situation as it exists will,
t lerefore. cheerfully co-operate with the
overnment in the tremerdnus task it j
•ow has before it and wi.l use the'
wheat flour substitutes enumerated even t
on a more extensive basis than has
suggested. We should remember

FIGHTING COTTON WILT IN GEOR-
GIA.
L. A. G.. lumber City. Ga., writes: I
have a piece of land that I wish to plant
In cotton that ie Infested with wilt <»r
black root. tan you suggest a variety
that will I* safe for me to plant? We
have bad the boll weevil here for two year*.
It has floor very little damage so far. What
do you think are the chance* for making
cvtlvn this year I I
One of the best varieties of cotton to
plant under conditions such as those
portrayed in your letter is Covington
Toole This is a strain which we have
found to be as largely resistant to ’n
jury by black root as any we have tested
up to the present time. This variety of
cotton is extensively grown in south
Georgia and *is well adapted for culti
vation in that section of the state. We
I would naturally expect It to make a
good record in your locality. There Is*
I considerable difference in the various
strains of seed now on the market. We ;
advise you to select your seed with care |
and obtain them from a reliable grower
who has been producing these seed un
-1 der favorable conditions for some years ,
past.
It is impossible to say just what
damage the boll weevil will do this year.
Many people think that because »he
! winter has been unusually Severe all the
weevils will be killed. While this may
militate against weevil damage in 1918
lit would be a great mistake to assume
that no weevils will pass through the j
winter. As a matter of fact, if only a |
few escape the cold and are afforded an
opportunity to multiply rapidly during
the spring by favorable weather con
dition* the weevils could easily do very
great and serious damage to the cotton
crop in Georgia in’l9lß. Farmers should,
therefore, use as much vigilence in
watching for the appearance of this
1 pest and dealing with it as they have.|
exercised in the past. One should re
member that a pair of weevils might
be the progenitors of many* millions
during an ordinary summer, therefore .t
Is important to watch for the appearance
of the weevil carefully in the spring and
destroy as many as possible. Eternal j
vigilence is the price of success in deal- '
ing with this pest. The bureau of ento
mology seems to be of the opinion that |
unless the temperature goes below S >
degrees and remains there for some time
weevils are not likely to be seriously |
damaged. We do not know that you j
have had temperatures as low as this |
in your section of the state, but presume ,
the temperature has not reached that .
point as yet. It is for this reason that
we advise you to be prepared to make ;
as strong and vigorous a fight against
the weevil this year as has ever beer,
made in any part of Georgia. Should
you get ready to do so and the weevils
do not come you have lost nothing. On
the other hand, if you take no precau
tions and the weevils appear in la r ge
numbers you are likely to suffer severe
damage before you can make the neces
sary arrangements to combat them es- ,
fectivcly.
THIS XS MOT A VIOLATION OT
I'lW
J. E Alto. «•-. write*: I have
loig.* .«■» i~i>. and have it on hand, ami
hare bought 75 sacks of cottonseed meal to I
be delivered in a few day* to mix with I
my add. Will 1 violate the law to have
the cottonseed meal and use it? 1 would I
like to have the meal, but do not want i
to violate the law.
The food administration realizes the
fact that farmers must buy supplies
of various kinds in order to be able to >
fertilize their crops intelligently. The
ruling to which you refer applies chief
ly to the holding of food for m'ore than
thirty days. .You realize, of course, that
cottonseed meal would be construed as
food if l»ought and held for the nutrition j
of cattle. If we were satisfied, how- I
ever, that it is purchased to be mixed
with acid phosphate and used’for fer-|
tilixing purposes we would not con
sider this as hoarding in any sense of
the word. In fact, it will be necessary
for us to make a liberal interpretation
along the line indicated, because it is
the desire and purpose of the food ad- I
ministration that farmers grow the .
biggest crops in Georgia in 1918 that
liave ever been raised in the state. To
do this we realize that skillful and in
telligent fertilization is essential. It is
the object and purpose of the food ad- .
ministration to encourage the farmer j
in the use of fertilizers, and one situated
as you are could not act otherwise than
you have done. The only suggestion
or advice we offer you on the premises
Is this, that you mix this acid and meal
within thirty days after you secure it.
The mere fact that you have done this
would be sufficient evidence that you
have purchased it for fertilizing pur
poses and that your intention is to com
ply with the law.
It is not the purpose or intention of
the food administration to work hard- ,
ships on' the farmers, merchants, or
business men. but only to put into es- •
feet such rules and regulations as seem
essential for the public welfare. We
ask and desire the close co-operation
and assistance of every individual at 1
this time. Our experience has taught us
that the great majority of the people
of Georgia are glad to co-operate with
us and we believe this will continui to
be the ruling sentiment of the majority ■
of our people in the future.
Handling a Half Stand of Winter
Oata
I. E. F., Thomson. Ga., writes: I have
eicbt acres of thin sanly laml that I am
trying to build up. Last apring I eat 150
bushels of Fulglinm oat* from it. They
were badly damaged by the freeze and a
large quantity qf seed scattered in the field,
and this fall a fine stand of volunteer
oat* came up. There is now about a half
stand left. Is there anything I couM har
row in now which would make a better crop
than the oats alone? What Is the best
grazing crop to follow the peas?
You are fortunate if you have secured
a good volunteer stand of oats and evfcn
though the crop may be damaged to
sxxme extent, if it represents one-half
or two-thirds of a stand we would ad
vise you to let the field alone for the
-■resent. If you can secure some nitrate
f soda it would be well to top dress
hese oats at the rate of 50 to 100
■ounds per acre. We prefer the larger
'mount. Os course, the stand may be
omewhat ragged, but, we know of no
rop which you qpuld seed in with these
its which would prove more valuable
han they are likely to be under exist
ing conditions. If you put nitrate of
oda on this field it Is not necessary to
harrow It in. but broadcast It over the
surface after a rain. This plant food
is so readily soluble in water that It
will be immediately taken up by the soil
water.and so rendered available to the
roots of the growing crops. In your sec
tion of the state you should try tn put
your nitrate of soda on not later than
the first of March.
There is no better crop you could
plant after oats than cowpeas, soy
beans or combinations of these two
crops with millet. There will be am
ple time after the oats have been har
vested and the ground prepared to seed
THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1918.
j either of the above mentioned crops
' ami have it come to maturity after cold
I weather sets in. It is a common prgc
! tice in Tennessee to sow millet along
with cowpeas or soy beans. This, of
course, makes a very desirable quality
of hay and it is probably a little easier
to harvest and cut than the peavines
or soy beans by (hemselves. On many
occasions we have been able to secure
a crop of hay of the character mention
ed off the land sufficiently early in
the fall to permit of the devlopment
:of a second crop. It is true that it sel
dom attains any considerable proixvr
tion. but it can often be grazed to ex
-1 cellent advantage until cold weather,
i The growing of either of the legumi
nous crops mentioned will be the best
means of putting the land in good con-'
ditfon for cotton in 1919.
DIFFERENCE IN FOOD VALUE OF
BEANS AND COTTON MEAL.
J. H. 8., Empire, Ga.. write*: Please
advise me difference in commercial value
of one ton of ground velvet bean meal and
one ton ot cottonseed meal for mixing with
- M per cent acid for fertilizer. and hi what
proportion should it be mixed?
A ton of velvet bean meal including
the hulls will contain approximately 57
i pounds of nitrogen, 16 pounds of phos
; phoric acid, and 34 pounds of potash. If
i the hulls are excluded a ton of the bean
i meal will contain about 80 pounds nitro
gen, 20 pounds phosphoric acid and 34
pounds potash.
A ton of cottonseed meal classed as
good will contain approximately 120
pounds nitrogen. 53.2 pounds phosphoric
acid and 36 pounds of potash. You will
thus see that a ton of pure velvet bean
meal contains 40 pounds less nitrogen
and 33 pounds less phosphoric acid than
a ton of cottonseed meal. A ton of vel
vet beans including the hulls contains
63 pounds less nitrogen and 37 pounds
less phosphoric acid than a ton of cot
tonseed meal. Granting that all the
constituents in these materials are
equally available to plants, one can eas
ily figure the difference in value of the
various materials mentioned for fertiliz
ing purposes. You will see from the fig
ures presented, of course, that one could
afford to pay a very considerable amount
more for the cottonseed meal mentioned
for fertilizing purposes than fdr velvet
beans of the grade mentioned. A good
way to figure out the exact difference
would be to allow 20c for avail
able nitrogen, 5c for available phosphoric
acid and 30c for available potash.

new hair—growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine immediately dou

Dear Children: I know you are enjoying this beautiful weather.
Isn’t it fine to be out of doors? Every day for a week now I have been
out with my chickens, and you can just believe they are glad of a chance
to get out of brooder houses and coops.
It surely is encouraging to get your letters with your enthusiasm over
doing your bit towards helping win this war; our slogan should be: “We
will win with food,” for certainly if the boys can go and fight for us, we
can do our part towards seeing that food is plentiful enough to ajlow suf
ficient quantities sent to them.
Hoping that you are beginning your spring work with happy, hopeful
hearts, and that you will write me all about it, I am, lovingly,

Hello. Aunt Julia: Will you permit an
other little Georgia girl to join your happy
bend of boy* and girls?
t'misins, don’t you think it is so nice of
MOTHER! IF GHLD’S
TONGUE IS CMTEB
If cross, feverish, constipated,
give “California Syrup of
Figs.”
A laxative today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Children simply will not
lake the time from play to empty their
bowels, which become clogged up with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sour.
Look at the tongue, Mother! Ts coat
ed or your 6hild is listless, cross, fever
ish. breath bad, restless, doesn’t eat
heartily, full of cold or has sore throat
or any other children’s ailment, give a
teaspoonful of “California of
Figs.” then don’t worry, because it is
perfectly harmless, and in a few hours
all this constipation poison, sour bile
and fermenting waste will gently move
out of the bowels, and you have a well,
playful child again. A thorough ‘’in
side cleansing’’ is oftimes all that is
necessary’. It should be the first treat
ment given in any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask
your druggist for a bottle of “California
Syrup of Figs.” which has full direc
tions for babies, children of all ages
and for grown-ups plainly printed on
the bottle. Look carefully and see
that It is made by the “California Fig
Syrup Company.”—<Advt.)

Aunt Julia to give u* space to write?
I ttiink the "letter Box” is just simply
grand. * -
Well, as all the Cousins describe Chetnselves,
I will do likewise. So here "she” goes: I am
about sixty-two inches tall, weigh lOtt pounds,
t.ave brown eyes, brown hair and medium com
plexion, and will leave my age for yon to
guess. It is between sixteen and twenty
years.
I live in the country and like it fine and
wouldn't, exchange for city life for anything.
Say, what are you Conslns doing for pastime?
I read a good bit, crokdiet a little, but can't
tat nor knit, but expect ta learn soon.
What do you Cousins tJnnM of the war? I
think it is dreadful. I think we should all do
our part to help win the war.
Listen, Cousins, I have five first cousins
In the army, and have a single brother who is
expecting to be called anytime soon. He
liosn’t received bis card yet, but he'* expecting
it any day.
I’m most sure that lie will be in class A.
which is first class, but trust not. But then,
if it will save our country, I’m perfectly
willing for.him to go, although I hate to see
my dear brother leave home. And too, I think
every boy should be willing to fight for his
country.
I have three first cousins*at Camp Wheeler,
one at Fort Screven and don’t remember just
now where the other one is.
I correspond with only one of them, who is
a very dear cousin of mine.
Pearl Olivia Marley, I agree with you. I
think those that have loved ones In the army
sbculd write them encouraging letters, and
make them feel that we appreciate what they
are doing for our country and their loved
ones. «
Listen, Cousins, the soldiers enjoy nice boxes j
from their - "sweethearts,” friends and loved j
otes, or at least I reckon they do. I baked
the "bestest” chocolate cake and sent my
cousin at Camp Wheeler last week. I very often
send him a box.
Cousins, I will tell you his name if you
rten’t object. His name is Charlie F. Herring
ton. .He came to See us before and.
he sure was a welcome visitor.
What has become the Sanunie Soldiers?
They have been silent for quite a while. Sam
mie, your little poem was tine.
Will close with much love for Aunt Julia
■and all the Cousins. I am your new Consin
and nie<£,

Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins: I have
Just been reading Annt Julia’s letter Box.
which I enjoy very much. So I thought I'd
make a “hit” and hope to see it in print.
How are you all standing this dreadful weather
we’re having at present? It is the most se
vere winter that we have ever experienced.
Well, I'll describe myself: i am a girl of
“sweet sixteen,” am five feet nine inches
high, have fair complexion, light hair and
brown eyes and weight 146 pounds. So there
I am! Aunt Julia, I am a member of the
Poultry club for 1918, and I’m going to try
my utmost best to make a success with my
“chicks.” Will be writing later about my faiP
ures and. successes. Isn’t this war terrible?
And times are getting harder ».nd harder, so we
can’t be too economical nowadays. How many
of you cousins knit? 1 crochet and tat, but
canrot knit. Bnt am going to learn after .school
days end. My letter is rather long already,
so I guess* It’s time to “hush.” Will be very
glad to correspond with any of the cousins
near my nge. So let your letters and cazds
fly to your new - cousin. Oceans Os love to
Aunt Julia and all the cousins.

Dear Aunt Julia: I have been thinking of
writing you for sometime, but have just now
gotten up the courage tn run the risk of ?>e!ng
caught t>y Mr. Waste Basket. I think the
editor is grand to let ns have a place in bl*
r.aper. I live one mile west of the Yadkin
river which is noted for the great aluminium
plant at Baden. The river Is now frozen over
*o deep anyone can walk across on the ice.
Yesterday a crowd of school girls and boys in
cluding myself, went kodaking.
The trees and hills |ook pretty, covered with
snow, the ground has had some snow °n it
for nearlv two months. We have been having
some fine times coasting and skating.
You can see the Pilot mountain from here
end it sure looks pretty' with snow on it.
How manv of you Cousins like to read? I do
for one. I think Mary J. Holmes. Gene Strat
ton porter and E. P. Roe are fine author*. I
I go to Enon Graded school and am in the ;
eighth grade. . „ -
I think the Y. M. C. A. and Bed Cross
are doing some fine work for the soldier boys.
I have one brother, but he is not quite
old enough to be in Uncle Sam’s service. 1
have a cousin in France, he is a surgeon anil
has been there about thre months. I have an
other cousin in the navy.
What has become of you, Charlie Parker and,
you. J Venline Wade? Why don’t you write
again? Your letters were just fine. Well. I
will describe mvself. (Now don't get fright
ened.) I am five feet tall, weigh about 100
pounds, have fair complexion, blue eye*, gol
den-brown hair; will be sixteen soon. Would
like to hear from some of the Cousins., I will
answer all letters or cards received.
