Have You a Cow’ In thia day of high prices and ditti ‘culties of food transportation the cow becomes the most valuable asset which the family can possess. This is par ticularly true of the man who lives in the country, in any of our small towns or cities, or in the outskirts of our larger cities. The man of family is naturally more concerned abotjt the maintenance of a cow than the man without children. It has been clearly demonstrated over and over again that in no way can as much cheap, nourish ing and desirable food be provided for children as through the medium of the cow. There are literally thousands and thousands of places throughout the south where enough land is available to provide a satisfactory range for a cow and on which enough food may be grown to supply her principal needs. Such Heine the case it seems desirable that attention should again be directed to the Importance of the cow in the present food emergency. What will a good cow do?

GA An Open Letter to You Farmers With Farm Produce to Sell You have raised something on your farm this year that you want to sell, and sell FOR THE VERY HIGHEST PRICES YOU CAN GET. The pocketbooks of the people in Atlanta and other cities and towns in Georgia and the South are open to buy all that you have to sell, AND THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY HIGH PRICES, TOO. The only thing necessary is for you to let the people who want to buy what you have for sale know that you have it. And this letter is published to tell you HOW you can let them know in the QUICKEST, EASIEST and CHEAPEST manner: The LAND AND INDUSTRIAL SECTION of the big SUNDAY ATLANTA JOURNAL is read each Sunday by approximately EIGHTY THOUSAND FAMILIES in Georgia and the other Southern States, and these 80,000 families have the money with which to buy your surplus farm produce. YOU CAN DO WHAT OTHER FARMERS ARE DOlNG—you can make THE JOURNAL’S LAND AND INDUSTRIAL SECTION your market place. The cost is small, but The SUNDAY JOURNAL reaches so many people who want the particular farm products you have to sell that YOUR RE SULTS WILL BE SURE. It makes no difference whether it be a few hogs, cattle, chickens, eggs, or such farm products as corn, potatoes, velvet beans, peas, peanuts, pecans, or whatever else that vou may have a surplus of (even though, you have just* a small amount) YOU CAN SELL IT FOR THE HIGHEST PRICES BY ADVERTISING IT IN THE ATLANTA JOURNAL’S LAND AND IN DUSTRIAL SECTION. TRY THIS JUST ONCE AND SEE HOW PROFITABLE IT IS. Just write to us what you have, how much, and the prices at which you are willing to sell it. Mail it, together with your check or postoffice money order for $4.20, to the Land and Industrial Department The Atlanta Journal Atlanta, Ga. And we will publish your advertisement in next Sunday’s Land and Industrial Section of The Sunday Journal. Then get ready to sell what you have to sell. DON’T PUT THIS OFF UNTIL TOMORROW—DO IT TODAY, and sell your surplus farm produce for the VERY HIGHEST PRICES. Address your letters plainly to the Land and Industrial Dept., The Atlanta Journal, Atlanta, Ga. months, if properly fed and cared for. a minimum of 600 gallons of milk, equiva lent to 5.160 pounds of milk. This is a remarkable performance when you con sider the highly nourishing and desir able. qualities which milk possesses, and when you remember that the cow turn ing out this large qukntity of milk has probably produced in the period men tioned several times her oody weight of one of the most desirable and essen tial food products available to the hu man race. While these figures may look large to some, there are thousands of cows which will make as good a record as that indicated, and an extraordinary good animal will often produce a yield of two or three times as great. On the above basis of yield, however, 600 gal lons of milk will provide a family of five with all of this wholesome, nour ishing and essential food product they need. It has been shown definitely, for instance, that milk is essential to the welfare of young children. It contains all the elements necessary to their prop er nourishment in the nature of what are called vitamines. It is the most wholesome and desirable food which can be given to people suffering from tu bercular trouble, or who are suffering from more or less chronic forms of in digestion. The importance of milk has been more fully demonstrated by the present war crisis than ever before This is shown by the fact that the most desperate efforts have bee. made by all the European countries to maintain their supply of milk on .some basis adequate to their national needs. Os course, this they have been unable to accomplish satisfactorily. The next step, therefore, was to reserve the use of milk for hos pitals and young ch lie ten. older and more mature persons being cut off from its use altogether. In pre-war times we did not realise how much milk we used or how important it was to young children. It has taken gnat crisis such as we are now passing through to make us appreciative of the importance of the dairy cow. What amount of milk will a cow of the class we are discussing provide for a family of five? In the first place, each •nay consume daily three glasses of milk. If the milk be churned, one-half pound of butter will bb obtained there from. and butter Tat after all is the most wholesome and desirable of all fats. Three-fourths of a pound of cot tage cheese may be made and there will still be left three quarts of butter milk and whey for bread making and for Jse in the maintenance of chickens and young pigs. In this connection it is im portant to remember that the foregoing products may be made to take the place of meat, which in the case of a farmer may be sold for cash and the family exchequer enriched thereby. On the other hand, where the family lives in the country or the suburbs of a town they will be made more vigorous, healthy and happy if maintained largely on a milk dietary. Milk is more easily digested and assimilated than meat anil it provides the same sort of nutrients in a cheaper and more desirable form. . There is much complaint at the pres ent time about the price of milk. As a matter of fact, it is one of the products we have obtained relatively cheaply throughout the United States and on this account we are opposed to paying high prices for what after all furnishes us with a larger proportion of desirable nutrients at a lower cost than anything else we can buy. In addition to all these advantages the dairy cow becomes an important ad junct to the land owner for the pur pose of enriching and maintaining the fertility of his land. In a year the ma nure. if properly preserved and mixed with suitable absorbents, will amount to ten tons. If this be applied to the land on which food crops are grown or to the vegetable garden the soil can be main tained in a high state of cultivation and abundant crops of any kind pro duced. Next to milk one of the most wholesome and desirable additions to the average dietary would be an abun dance of vegetables. These must be THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL!, 'ATLANTA, GA. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1918. produced on rich soils so they will grow rapidly and therefore be tender and pal atable. As vegetables are perishables a succession of them must be produced throughout the year. It is much easier to accomplish this on a rich piece of land than on a poor piece. Aside from all the commercial fertilizers that might be used, it has been definitely demon strated that yard manures provide more huinus for the soil than almost any thing else which can be used to replace them. Manures derived from this source contain many ferments and enz.j mes which are valuable in bringing the soil to a proper condition for the growth of crops. An abundance of humus in the soil insures the production of maximum crops of the highest quality in the gar den, therefore the value of the cow for this purpose should not be overlooked. The next proposition is concerned i with the feeding and maintenance of ! the cow. What will it take to aecotn plish this, and what will it cost the individual possessed of two or three acres of spare land? This problem is easy of solution, as by far the greater part of the food products can be pro duced on the land in question. To main tain a cow in a high state of nutrition for’a year it will be necessary to sup ply 1.5 tons of leguminous hay, 2.5 tons of silage or its equivalent of some oth er desirable food, 1.5 tons of grain, 2 acres of rye or oat pasturage and 2 aces of permanent pasture. In most lo calities the permanent pasture is best provided through the utilization of a Bermuda sod on which Japan and but clover have been seeded. The rye or oat pasture is easily provided through seeding either one of these crops in ear ly September. In that event there will be plentj ot grazing through the fall and the greater part of the winter. In the early spring when the grass comes on the remainder of the rye or oat crop tnav be turned under and the land plant ed to silage. For this purpose sorghum, kaffir corn or green corn may be used. Os course, it will be pointed out that a silo is impractical for the one-cow man and this is true, yet the crop pro duced on this land may be cut and cured as fodder and fed through the winter satisfactorily if chopped up small in cutting box. The feed required for a day should then be weighed out and set aside and moistened with watei containing a little salt. This will soften it and add greatly to its palatabllity, and then if the grain used be scattered over and mixed with it it very whole some and palatable winter ration will be provided and a very satisfactory substitute for silage also made auu able. As to the leguminous hay, this should be fed at the rate of about 10 to 15 pounds per dny. It should be kept in a rack where the cow may have ac cess to it whenever she feels like it. kfter the grain ration, cottonseed meal mav with propriety constitute the. prin cipal feed used. For instance, if 1.000 pounds of cottonseed meal be mixed saj with 1,000 pounds of oats or barley or velvet bean meal or peanut meal, and 1 000 pounds of corn a very desirable ration will be provided. This should be fed to the cow at the rate of about 1.5 pounds per 100 pounds ot body weight. It is not such a difficult mat ter therefore, when a few acres of land are available to maintain a cow. and even in the absence of a permanent pas ture area to be used as an exercise lot it will pav hundreds of individuals to keep a cow. There i$ no more Important adiunct to the home, and certain!} the man in the country cannot afford to be without a cow, and this is try? thou sands .of our semi-urban residents who have large families to maintain and wish their children to grow up to vig orous manhood and womanhood. A Good Standard Variety of Wheat II the., Blakely, Ga., writes: I am plan ning to sow wheat thin fall on bind which was planted in peanuts thw year.

Wheat may be sown in your section o/thTstaToVny time between the first and fifteenth of November. It is true that much later planting is sometimes practiced, but from our experiences and observations we are led to bel’evethat late planting of wheat is a mistake, ie sulting frequently in a failure of th crop to develop properly during the fall months and hense subjecting it to great er iniurv from rust in the spring Tn order to produce wheat success!ully. it must be well-rooted in the autumn so £ ” he ready to grow off vigorously as mon ns the weather opens nn In the snrinz.

Each one of them shows the right spirit, and each one touches a side of life that is a benefit to the world. The mother who prays as well as teaches her chil dren to obey is the sort that has 'made the men of our present generation.

Mrs. Keggs’ narcissi have made a beau condition. if this field is very dirty or covered with trash, breaking the land would be a good practice. Lou should not plow it too deeply at this season of the year and should immedi ately ' roll after breaking it so as to provide a relatively linn seed bed, in which the wheal does better. As to varieties, there are a number of standard sorts which do well through out Georgia. Among these are Leap’s Prolific, Bed May, Georgia Red, Fulcas ter and Mediterranean. These are stand ard sorts and you should have no diffi culty in securing a good seed of any of these through any reliable seed mer chant Possibly there is some one in your community who raised wheat suc cessfully last year and would be willing to sell you a small amount for seed. You should be able to purchase good seed anywhere at a cost of 53.50 up to |5.00 or $6.00 per bushel, depending on the care with which it has been selected and trueness to type and the name of the variety chosen. 1 suggest that you seed at the rate of a bushel and a peek to a bushel and a half pet- acre. \A’e would .certainly plant wheat with a grain drill. At the same time or shortly before seeding we would apply to the land a mixture of at least 300 pounds of fertilizer, consisting of equal parts of cottonseed ineai and acid phosphate. The fertilizer should be well mixed with the soil and should not come directly in contact with the wheat grain. A com bination grain and fertilizer drill will enable you to plant satisfactorily with out endangering germiniation of the wheat by its coming in contact with the cottonseed meal in the fertilizer. You can prevent the wheat from being smutty by treating it at the time of planting with formaldehyde. One pound of formaldehyde mixed with 40 gallons of water will be about the right strength of this material to use. Spread the wheat out on the floor and sprinkle the solution in question over it, using a watering can for this purpose. Be sure thai all the grains of the wheat are thoroughly wet. Stir this mixture fre quently while sprinkling the solution over it. Cover with a tarpaulin or carpet and let stand for several hours. Then spread out to dry and seed imme diately. Fertilizer Suited to Fruit Plantations I>. E. I’.. Port Lauderdale, Flu., writes: What fertilizer should 1 use, aud how much per tree or vin efor plums, upples. cherries, grapes aud peaches, all one year old? Ordinarily fruit plantations of the character you describe should be fer tilized with a complete fertilizer. By this we mean a formula containing nit rogen. phosphoric acid and potash. Un der existing circumstances it will prob ably be impossible to secure at a justifiable cost a desirable mixture of this character. This is due to the fact that most of our pbtash was imported in pre-war times and the sources from which it came then are no longer avail able. It is true that we have increased the production of potash salts quite extensively in this country, but prac tically all the material of this charac ter which has become available is need ed in our war industries. There are nevertheless, two or three sources from which our potash can be derived. One of these is tobacco stems, another, is cottonseed hulls, and the third is wood ashes. Cottonseed meal, of course, con tains some potash, and this is also true of velvet bean meal. Situated as you are, and in view of the relative scarcity of commercial nitrogen, we think you will probably find it desirable to fertilize your fruit trees with organic nitrogen derived from slaughter house by-products or with cottonseed meal. Nitrate of soda will be very difficult if not impossible to obtain, and the government has al ready commandeered all supplies of sul phate of ammonia. We believe that if we had your prob lem to handle we would proceed about as follows: If there is any woodland in the vicinity of your farm we would gather up all the brush, broken down tree trunks and limbs and burn, giving preference, of course, to the use of the hard woods. The ashes should be saved and protected from the weather and then scattered around the base of your fruit trees in a circle corresponding to the spread of the Ihnbs. Do not put the ashes close up against the trunks. The ashes may be applied any time this fall or in the early spring. Then in February we would make a mixture of equal parts of acid phosphate and cot tonseed meal and use around ike trees at a rate of 5 to 10 pounds per tree, depending on the size, age and condi tion of the. trees. At least 25 pounds of wood ashes should be used to each tree. This will be found a quite satis factory and desirable method of ferti lization to follow with orchard planta tions under existing conditions. Castor OH Bean Seed in Great De mand M. J., Brewton, Ga., writes: Please toll me if I can sell the seed from the castor plant. If so, where could I find a market for them, and what price are they likely to bring? It is very gratifying to know that you find the’ columns of The Journal so helpful to you. An endeavor, of course, has naturally been made to make them reliable and also a source ot new in formation on all topics relating to agri culture to our readers. Presumably there is no objection to your selling seed from the castor bean plant. I suppose you have produced these on your own plantation. In that event there is no definite price as to what vou shrould charge for them. Products produced on one’s own farm may be sold under any reasonable plan. At the present time there does not seem to be anv clear understanding or appre ciation as .to the merits of any varie ties of castor beans for oil production. They are chit fly valuable for this pur pose, of course, and the endeavor to stimulate their production at this time is based on an attempt to obtain a large I quantity of oil from this crop for use in airplane motors. Such fields as are i growing in Georgia at the present time seem to represent a mixture of seed of different varieties. The seed used last ' year came chiefly from India. In so far as I know, no analysis of seed of differ- I ent varieties has been made, therefore their merit for oil production is not as yet clearly defined. Presumably there will be a good demand for castor bean seed another year and I imagine you will not have any difficulty in selling such seed as you have on hand at area ! senable price. I I believe last year the government d stributed seed at $3, but owing to the increased cost of labor, fertilizers and machinery the price will probably be higher this year. tiful spot in this sitting room, une can i put the bulbs in water and be sure of beautiful flowers even if a thin skin of ice forms on the water. 1 enjoy my ge raniums as long as I possibly can, out am sure of my narcissus. And all of us must thank her tor telling us about those peas. They would be a tremendous improvement on what we had last year. Ours began to tire last year about the time the peas came, and did little good. They were the rankest sort of vines, but tired' too soon for any service. Truly this terrible war has taught us many lessons. 1 was thinking last night of the negro soldiers in France. We of the south think of the race more i as hewers of wood anti drawers of | water, but the reports that come trom ! "over there” show that some of them have proved heroes side by side witn their white officers. I wish ail of you 1 could have read of a negro man, a color ! bearer in his company. There was a I German airplane just over them, a ma i chine gun count have mowed them down : as they marched along the dusty high way. ’’Disperse, every man tor him ' self!” called the captain. This color ; bearer had unfurled his tlag and it was : gaiiy fluttering. Every man scurried ! ior the wheat field. Imagine the ! thoughts of the white captain as he took ’ his eyes off the hostile airplane to see ’ that negro flag bearer still marching up ■ tne road wtih “Holl, Jordan, roll,” ior his pacemaker. "Drop that Hag and hide, commanded the captain. “Oh, no, Mais Captain. Dis ilag don’ git drapped in de dus for any o’ dem baby kmers.” And on he went —with his glasses the captain saw the enemy turn as if to demolish the flag and the man, then it wheeled and went home. The effect on the company was like magic. Their flag was even a bit more to them than ever before. They tell in line, caught up with their color-bearer and took up the song, “Rob, Jordan, Roll.” Could anything prove more heroic? I wish every one of you could take the Red Cross magazine. There is where I read this incident. I always find it full of inspiring, helpful things. Soon you will be called on to help the various organizations that are helping “over there.” Money must be paid out, or they cannot furnish the food, the shelter, the stationery your boys use when they write to you. and the comfortable huts they have for the ones back from the front. Our Liberty Loan was fine, that was an investment that returns a small per cent. But the money you give the Red Cross, the ‘‘Y’’ and the Salvation Army is truly bread cast on the water, and God will bless you an hundred fold. Faithfullv vours. LIZZIE O. THOMAS. Tuscumbia, Ala.

LET’S ALL PBAY MORE My Dear Mrs. Thomas: I have been ■ a reader of your Househod all the year •and have thought 1 would write and , tell you how L nave enjoyed reading its ; letters. It has been ot so much inter est to me that 1 could hardly wait for Friday’s paper to come. Mrs. Thomas, 1 have a lot that 1 want to talk about. > 1 hardly know how to begin. 1 think this war the awfulest thing that ever has been. I have a dear brother in ■ France by now, if he did not get sunk in that ship that went down the tenth of this month. I pray that God has I spared him to get over safely and that He will guide him through with a safe return home from France. Brother asks me in every letter he has written me to pray for him, and 1 want to ask all the praying people to pray for him and all the rest of the soldiers to win this war, if it be Gods will. If we ask anything of Him believing in Him, we shall receive, it or better. If we keep His commandments we are of Gad and if God so loved us we also ought to love one another. 1 am just a poor woman, but I would rather be poor and fear and love God than to have ill-« gotten gains. Tbe Lord said bow hardly they that have riches enter the kindom of God. It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. This is the tenth chapter of Mark, and I had rather be poor here on earth and be rich hereafter and by the help of trod I am going to that swjet home some day. I am a child of God. 1 ' have been washed in Jesus’ blood and I am trying to live a Christian life. I . have a heap of trouble and temptations, I but by the help of God I bear them and still trust in Him. I have had people to say this year that I could not go to heaven for .whipping my chil dren. But I think that God will reward me for trving to make men and women out of them. God says. ’’Spare the rod nnd spoil the child.” Come on, all you Household writers, with those good let -1 ters.

I feel proud of my year's work (or rather I feel glad and thankful that the heavenly Father has blessed my efforts in doing what I could do to help). I was enabled to buy two hundred dol lars’ worth of bonds with money made from my garden and flowers. I sold English peas by the bushel and saved I two bushel of seeds. 1 do not consider them perishable, as they are good dry. If you soak soak them over night and boil till the skin will slip off like lye hominy, they split like a shelled pea nut and you have the split pea like the northern people use for soup. I am going to try to get my John to fertilize an acre for cotton and let me plant peas on it and one of apricot plant cotton in the middle. Peas are a legume. I read where one man cleared his cotton, the peas paying all expenses. The “Bountiful” is a bunch pea and grows bunchy and upright like the Spanish peanut. But not quite as early as Alaska. I make a planting in No- i vember, January and February. I plant L my seed plot and do not pick from ■ those I intend for seed. They are very ' solid. I believe they would be fine for | stock.

Tanker Outfights German Submarine AN ATLANTIC PORT, Oct. 30—A tor pedo and shell fire attack by a .German submarine on an American tank, a I British freighter and a Norwegian freighter, October 21, seven hundred I miles from the French coast, in which the American tanker stopped to engage I and apparently out-fought the U-boat, w-as described by the crew of the Nor- 1 wegian ship, which arrived here today. ■: The three vessels were traveling to- ! gether, the Norwegian crew said, when the submarine made its appearance | known by launching a torpedo at the ' Britisher. The enemy then appeared on i the surface and with two deck guns opened fire on all three ships. The ves sels scattered and the Britisher, being I the fastest, was soon hull down on the I horizon. The Norwegian ship, unarmed, i moved off in an opposite direction, while I the American tanker, turning so as to I present a stern target, opened fire and j in short order made the U-boat sub- ! merge. The next day, the Norwegians added, a periscope appeared about 400 yards off ' the port quarter and moved up until it | was square abreast the ship. Expecting , momentarily the crash of a torpedo, the ‘ crew prepared to take to the life boats. 1 The submarine, however, made no at- 1 tack, but pushed forward until it crossed j the steamer’s bow and soon disappeared. , The periscope was in sight about ten minutes.
