Order Your
Now
YOU may not be able to get V-C
fertilizers in time to put under
your crop, if you put off ordering
them until “next Spring”.
Delay is dangerous. Remember
the bad weather, the railroad con
gestion, the shortage of freight cars
this past Spring, and profit by that
experience.
Labor in the factories is scarce,
making manufacturing slow and
shipping difficult
Last season many farmers were disap
pointed in not getting their fertilizers in
time because they put off ordering. The
Railroad Administration has put out a z
notice that all car-loads shall be at ca
pacity, and by ordering at once delivery
can be made promptly.
There is a V-C factory, distributing
point or V-C dealer near you. This will
enable you to secure your Fertilizers
promptly—if ordered at once—with only
a short haul. We are in position to sup
ply Fertilizers containing all the Potash
your Crops will require.
NOW is the TIME to order.

In 1SI« me thousand lour hun
ted women were enrolled for det**
uiie work under the direction of fii
: > -reven county home demonstration
,k nis in as many counties. Foi
..•IS the enrollment at the present
au is JU.4V6 women. Doubtless
.*..-, number will be materially in
. eased as the work is being con-
.euo in ninety-six counties, caea
.my being well organized and un
.. r the direction ot a county agent.
::ese women are carrying on deni
astrations along the following lines.
, ardeiiing. poultry raising, butter
n.ui’n-, making of cottage cheese,
inning, drying, brining, storing of
v< zetaldes and fruits, curing of
meats, cookery of food, remodeling of
clothing, improvement of sanitary
. oi.ditions. and the building and op
erating of labor saving devices and
home conveniences. The women are
organizing into community clubs
which meet regularly for the pur
pose of studying their individual
and local problems. One of the most
interesting phases of the work is
shown bv the organization of food
study classes at which food values
and ’the theory of the cookery of
f.MKis are studied, following a dem
onstration in the cookery of that
particular type which is being con
stdered at the time.
Increased interest is shown this
viar in gardening. Thousands of
women are growing large plots of
soy beans, peanuts and other leg
umes to be used as substitutes for
meat and wheat. Many homes have
perennial gardens for the first time,
the products grown being princioal
!y granes. asparagus, figs and ber
lies. These same women are concen
trating their attention upon the
-a;sing of poultry, giving more time
i t thought to the selection, better
r. .'ding, feeding and housing of
irds with the result that the farm
<o«ks are in many instances for the
ist time paving dividends. As a
-tilt of increased egg production
■ luh women are being taught the
r.tding and packing of eggs, how
. preserve them for winter use.
For the coming year there will be a
.woman assistant who will have di-
. t charge of the poultry work with
women.
Butter manufactured by women
working under agents increased fifty
ner cent in price during the last
vc-ar. due largely to the fact that
women on the farms are making
n better product than ever befor?.
Tn an effort to eliminate waste and
rente wholesome substitutes our
club women are giving lessons in the
iking and utilization of cottage
cheese, this work being carried jn
tinder the direction of a specialist
in cheese making. Tn a number of
counties cottage cheese is being
used as a substitute for meat on the
large plantations where there are
many negroes employed, while *n
other counties the women and girls
are marketing , their cottage chees
in the nearb.v towns, sending the
products by parcels post. This cheese
«= being made from the skim milk
which the farmers formerly fed to
the calves and pigs.
In a few counties notable results
E been accomplished through the
es? iblishment of curb markets, the
r iris and women bringing the prod

the town where they are met by the
women who purchase their commodi
ties. This has created a desire for
the products sold in this way, and
has in turn stimulated production.
Very gratifying indeed have been
the results of the work with wheat
Hour substitutes in the matter of
bread-making. Tn a number of places
food conservation exhibits have been
held and recipes given for the dishes
exhibited. This has probably done
more than any other one thing to
ward making these substitutes lop
ular. It is not unusual when ad
dressing an audience of women on
the subject of food production and
conservation to find women who have
pledged themselves to eat no wheat
at all until the next harvest and al
ways the vast majority of the wom
en present declare they are observ
ing wheatless days. This means that
they have learned to make many
kinds of bread other than plain corn
bread.
Labor-saving devices, such as tire
less cookers, iceles refrigerators,
v.heel trays, fly traps, ironing boards,
butter-making equipment. sewing
screens and devices for drying fruits
and vegetables have been installed
in many homes. The fact that due to
war conditions woman’s sphere has
been enlarged with a consequent
increase in her duties has tended to
promote her interest in the building
and operating of these devices which
save her time and strength.
One of the greatest drawbacks to
rural life is the isolation of the
people and the lack of social inter
course. These women demonstra
tors are therefore organized into
community clubs which meet at reg
ular intervals at the homes of the
members. Often entertainments are
given for the purpose of making
money with which to Improve the
school or church or buy some piece
of equipment for the club. In this
way the county agent is able to give
the instructions which she wants
these women to have without making
visits to each individual home. The
following quotations from agents’ re
ports give in an interesting way some
of the things accomplished at such
meetings:
"On January 19 I attended a very
interesting club meeting at Epworth
school. A number of the patrons at
this school are dairymen (on a small
scale) and are preparing for the boll
weevil by keeping cows and garden
ing for market. These people are re
ceptive and are easily led and we
hope to get fine results the coming
year through this club. At our last
meeting we discussed ‘The Preven
tion of Contagious Disease in the
Rural School.’ The discussion
brought out some fine papers on san
itation, the prevention of flies and
the importance of screening against
them, use of individual drinking cups,
and better school lunches. Those
who are familiar with the rural
schools of the state will realize how
much it will mean to have the women
of the community center their in
terest and activity on its develop
ment.
One of the newest phases of the
club work this year nas been the
urban work with city women. While
demonstration agents are helping the
country women, definite demonstra
. tions are now being carried on by
; the women in nine of Georgia’s larg
est cities under the direction of spe
i lal urban workers. In most of these
cities demonstration kitchens are be
ing established and these are equip
ped so that the work in food study,
canning, drying and other important
subjects may be carried on at cen
tral places. Food exhibits are being
lieid and everything possible is be
in& done to conserve the essentials.
!In one of these towns a thousand
boys and girls are cultivating gar
dens, the work being supervised by
the school teachers working in co
operation with the urban agent.
In every one of these cities the
people of the mill sections are being
taught food conservation, cookery ot
foods, and their proper combination
in the diet.
In response to the urgent appeal of
the farm women of Georgia, a short
course similar to those provided for
the boys, girls and men was held in
January. Twenty-five women were
in attendance and the increased de
mand is such that another will be
held in August in connection with the
girls’ short course.
The work with negro women is
growing as rapidly as funds will
permit. There are now employed
twenty-nine negro women in charge
of the work in as many counties
besides two negro supervisors. The
county home demonstration agent
supervises the work of the negro
county agent and advises her as to
the type of the work to be under
taken.
The following excerpts from negro
county agents’ reports will prove in
teresting:
“On Monday I vi#ted the merhbers
of the poultry club at Wynnton; took
with me a spray pump and demon
strated the effectiveness of spraying
coops and poultry houses against
parasites; talked about well balanced
rations for chicks, use of buttermilk
and dry mash, and emphasized value
of plenty of fresh water.”
“In each community where there
are poultry club members, I gave a
practical demonstration at the home
of some club member. I taught
them to cull the flock and select
those that would make good winter
layers.”
“I have held three club meetings
this week besides the extra individ
ual work with the girls. I am try
ing to get those girls that live a long
ways from any club center to visit
/the nearest, club sometimes. They
are delighted to come when they can,
but they have to work. Saturday I
had a big club meeting and the girls
five miles away came.
“I have had some trouble trying
to get the cans ordered. We did not
need a carload in this county and 1
failed to get the adjoining counties
of North Carolina to co-operate with
me In this matter. It is a big un
dertaking to get anything from the
railroad, since the distance is about
thirty miles over a very rough moun
tain road. We have the cans ordered
now in crates. The girls are clam
oring for them, and if we should fail
to get them, I guess I would have to
leave the county. The county bank
guaranteed the payment and the
girls are giving their notes where
the father fails to furnish the mon
ey. I am pleased that the girls are
responding to anything that 1 ask
for them.
"Week closing June 30th, I visited
twenty-one club members, nine home
demonstrators and four schools, held
five meetings with attendance of 250;
traveled 115 miles by auto and 28
miles in buggy; held fifty consulta
tions at home and office, wrote twen
ty letters, and sent out 150 circular
letters and 100 bulletins.”
In every case the negroes are re
sponding to our training and they
are making great strides in learning
the fundamental household arts. We
: are teaching them only those things
I that will enable them to live better
t and more comfortably, and to do in
I the most efficient manner the duties
j and responsibilities that relate to
I their sphere in life. We consider
I this invaluable work for the state
I when we raise the educational status
of the negroes and teach them to be
I producers rather than consumers.
Terating a Badly Congested Udder.
J. B. J., Butler Springs, Ala., writes:
I have a cow with a calf five months
old, and her udder is swollen almost to
her foreleg, and the milk from one (eat
is bloody. She is sore and stiff in her
Light leg and hip. I would like yo.ir
advice as to what to do for ber.
Your cow is suffering from a very
bad congestion of a part of the ud
der. It is not unusual for this sort
of thing to happen shortly after
, calving, but it is rather remarK
i able for it to continue for the length
of time indicated and you should
take very active measures to cor
rect and relieve this condition im
mediately or it may develop into a
chronic stat* and result in the loss
of a part of the udder, or possibly
in the death of the cow.
The first thing to do is to milk
out the affected quarters of the udder
very thoroughly and completely sev
eral times a day. This work should
be accomplished in the gentlest man
ner possible. Rough handling cr,
abusive treatment ot the cow is tc
be avoided, as this will only furthei
aggravate the condition of which yj'
complain. You should then bathe th*,
affected parts in hot water, and lor
this purpose use the warmest water
you can stand to put the hands in.
Keen up this fomentation of the uu
tier 20 minutes. Do this three times
a day. Next put on some kind cf
a healing salve. For this purpose
camphorated vaseline is very fine
indeed. This should be gentlv ruo
bed into the udder. Anything like
Vick’s ointment will tend to reduce
the congestion and inflammation and
will prove soothing at the same
time. Very vigorous treatment o.
the character indicated if promptly
eet up and continued should ctt°et
idief in the course of a coinpaia
tivelv short time. You must first of
all get the inflammation and trie
soreness out of the affected part and
re-establish the normal function or
the udder. Remember thnt milK.ng
the udder out very clean several
times a day will aid you in attaining
the ends you hav®- in view. The
milk, of course, from the affected
part of the udder should not be used.
DESTBOYING BOLT. WEEVII, BY
POISONING
G. M., Nielioll, fia., writes: Whnt do
you think of the new method of poison
ing boll weevil by the use of paris
green mixed with flour nnd dusting on
young plants with a bellowa? Do you
think that experiments thus far con
ducted would warrant undertaking this
yraetiee in matting the coming crop t
The question of controlling the boll
weevil through the -use oi poisons
has been tested out to a considerable
extent by the United States depart
ment ot agriculture. Considerable
progress in this respect has been
made and the results obtained are
rather encouraging. The investiga
tions are still to be regarded, how
ever, as in their initial stages, and
further tests and the careful elab
oration of the best methods to fol
low will still be necessary before
this plan of fighting the boll weevil
can be recommended unqualifiedly to
the favorable attention of the public,
it is true the plan you have outlined
has been used; namely, Paris green
mixed with flour or other low-grade
material has been distributed over
the plants by means of a dust spray
er when they are moist or wet. It
is true, too, that the department be
lieves the weevils are more generally
killed through drinking the poison
which dissolves in the dew than from
any other cause incident to this
treatment. I believe this plan has
made sufficient progress to warrant
the farmers of Georgia giving it
their careful attention and consider
ation and trying it out on a small
scale next year in order that they
may satisfy themselves of its ef
ficiency and determine the best meth
ods of practice to follow and so be
come familiarized with the process.
I have no doubt many persons will
be disappointed over the results ob
tained while others will be gratified.
More depends on the manner m
which the work Is done than any
thing else.
As I understand it, the United
States department of agriculture has
issued public statements in refer
ence to this matter and have some
printed information on hand in avail
able form. 1 would recommend all
farmers, therefore, and those inter
ested in combating the boll weevil,
to write directly to the secretary of
agriculture, Washington, D. C., ask
ing for printed information on this
subject, or possibly to the bureau ot
entomology of the United States de
partment of agriculture, Washing
ton, D. C., of which Dr. L. O. How
ard is chief. Tn this way one may
obtain free of cost and at first hand
the latest data which the depart
ment has in its possession with ref
erence to this important subject.
MIXING BOUGHAGE FOR WINTER
FEEDING
J. P. C., Marietta, Ga., writes: I have
the following roughage which I wish to
feed to dry cattle this winter, after It
is cut up in short length by being run
through « silage cutter: Fifteen tons
alfalfa, 3 tons rye in straw. 1 ton rye
straw, 3 tons wheat straw, 1 ton rye
straw, 3 tons wheat straw, 5 tons corn
shuck, 3 tons shocked corn stalk, 5,000
bundles corn fodder and a let of pen
vine hay. 1 would like to know the pro
jxirtion in which to feed this. It is
paled up and in shape where I can
Weigh the propot tion.
If situated as you are, we would
reserve the fifteen tons of alfalfa
to feed in the form of long fodder,
as the cattle and other live stock
will eat it in this condition very sat
isfactorily. The balance of the
roughage you mentioned, namely, the
straw, shucks, corn stalks and fod
der, we would run through a cutting
box or a silage cutter. Clip it off
in lengths about one-half inch long.
Mix it together as thoroughly as
possible. This can be accomplished
by feeding small amounts of the dif
ferent forms of roughage into the
cutter at one time. There is not a
sufficient difference in the feeding
value of the forms of roughage to
justify you in our opinion in going
to the expense and labor of weighing
them out separately. Moreover, if
all these types of roughage are mix
ed together and fed under reasonably
good conditions, the greater part will
be eaten up. Our suggestion would
be to take this out fodder and mix
up a supply the night before for the
following day’s feed. IVe would do
this by wetting the cut fodder down
with water containing a little salt.
The water can be distributed over
he mass of feed satisfactorily with a
watering pot. This moistened mass
will be succulent and palatable by
morning, if properly mixed and co n
pacted. and the various classes of
live stock to which it is fed should
be permitted to have as much of it
as they will eat up clean. We should
feed peavine hay and alfalfa in
slatted racks, placed under a shel
ter so as to protect the hay from
the weather. A small supply put in
the racks each day will be eaten
just as the animals take the notion
and will be practically all used to j
advantage in the manner indicated.
You do not state whether you wish
to fatten your cattle or not. In the
event you do not, the ration suggested
should carry them through in fairly
good condition with what they will
pick up in the fields from time to
time. If you wish to finish these
dry cattle and sell for beef, we would
advise that you feed in addition a
concentrated ration made up one
third to one-half cottonseed meal
and corn, or one-third each of cotton
seed meal, velvet bean meal (hulls
included) and corn, or if you prefer
you may substitute peanut meal for
the cottonseed meal. The initial
grain ration should not be over two
pounds per day and should be in
creased gradually, so that at the end
of ninety days the animal will he eat
ing six to eight pounds per day of
this mixture.

LET US HAVE PATIENCE
With tlie glad tidings from across
the water, and our president’s mes

time for us to stay even a little
closer to our Billies and on our knee:,.
Far be it from me to suggest spite
or revengeful feelings, those whose

In some heathen countries wnen

that is a mistake, and we wiio have

know that Germany had divided tne
world among her royal latnilies. We
know that America had been given
to the German crown prince, and we
know from Belgium’s sorrows what
would have been our portion. But
law and order should be the ruie
of this country and 1 am giving
you a prayer that has helped me
many times. We know not what *s
before us, there will be at least
years more of work for our loved
ones to do in those stricken coun
tries. Many a thousand roll of wire
to take up. many a bomb and gten
ade to render harmless, many a pit
fall to fill up and many a trap to
destroy. This will make so many
of us show the selfishness or char
itv that has been hidden in tne
depths of our hearts. As long as
there was real fighting going on, aa
long as there were women and lit
tle children to save from the ruth
less enemy many ot us encouraged
our loved ones to go. But it s gom*
to be the testing time for many a
mother, wife or sister. There will
rise in so many hearts the

IN THE DEPTHS OF TROUBLE
Dear Sisters of the Household
Lage: 1 have read this page with
great interest and have received lots
of help through the many good let
ters and now I come with a great
big trouble, it seems to me. I won
der if any of the readers have had
my trouble and how they overcome
it?
My husband is very jealous of me,
and God in heaven knows he has no
cause to be. We have been manied
three years and have a sweet little
baby. 1 have tried in every' way
possible to make him see there is
no need of his jealously but my el
lorts are fruitless. I have prayed
with ever believing faith that my
husband may understand me better.
I feel that I would be the happiest
woman on earth if it just wasn’t for
this jealously.
I love my husband with a love
that only death can sever, and. oh,
how happy I wqAild be if I knew he
trusted me. I believe he loves me,
too. still there is just a little grain
of distrust or something, He says
sometimes that he does not believe
I would be untrue to him, and that
he loves me with all his heart, and
yet why is he jealous? Can anv one
tell me. No one fcnows but the ones
who have had my experience how 1
suffer. . .
O! you might think it was nothing
to lose sleep over, but I tell you
sisters it is something that bothers
me. I want my husband to love
and trust me, I want him to feel
that he has a wife as good as tne
best of them. I want him to not
be always doubting my character,
and when he goes out in society
h« can hold his head up and say:
“My wife is pure. She has no stain
on her character."
I want him to feel that his little
son has a mother that he will never
be ashamed to call mother, on. 1
want my husband to trust me.
I feel I have a great responsibil
ity resting on my shoulders. 1
want to be a good wife and mother.
I want my husband and little son
to be proud of me and God helping
me, I will do my best to make them
S °There is one thing I can boast of
that some women can’t. I have never
told mv husband the I»M'®
falsehood, and I am proud that I can
eay that truthfully. .t-t-ri
Now 1 hope somfe of the sisters
will give their opinion or experi
ence. I have tried taHung Plain to
him and I have even told him I
would leave him and everthmg I
though would help, but it does no
rood I feel that I would never b®
satisfied away from him. though
sometimes I really b ®Heve he wants
me to go. He has told me that my
self and one other girl is the 'Only
two girls he ever love^‘ <! . bu s t
savs he alwavs loved me best. Some
times T think he was
married the wrong one. I. know 1
never loved any one but him..
Please, sisters, give me some ad-

British Supremacy of
Sea Is Insisted on
By Winston Churchill
LONDON, Tuesday, Nov. 26.
Speaking at Dundee tonight, Winston
Spencer Churchill, minister of mu
nitions, said that while he would do
everything in his power to make a
league of nations a practical and
powerful reality, it would be no sub
stitute for the supremacy of the
British fleet. In reference to the
freedom of the seas, he said:
“From the battle of Trafalgar to
the end of the nineteenth century we
were absolutely free at sea. We
were the only nation whose ports
were open to the world, whose mar
kets were unrestricted by any tariff
and whose coastwise trade was not
held as a national monopoly. Even
our kith and kin from the United
States, whose affection and aid have
been so dear to us, never practiced
that broad liberal policy which we
for a century of unchalleged suprem
acy, have shown upon the sea.
“Let us be careful not to catch the
infection of German ideas at the
moment we have defeated the Ger
man army. If other nations of the
world are content to allow us to
keep Hie supremacy of the seas
without demur, it will be because we
hold it as a trust for all."

Return Appropriations
Unexpended to Treasury
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—Unex |
pended war appropriations must oe
returned to the treasury, Chairman
Sherlfey, of the house appropriations
committee, announced today.
In a letter to cabinet officials ona
other heads of the independent de
partments, Sherley set out the de
termination of congress to take full |
command of financial reconstruction ,
with a view of enforcing a program i
of peace time economy.
The appropriations committee on |
Monday will begin hearings to de
termine just how much of the $36.-
000.000,000 war appropriations and
authorizations can be recovered.
After the hearings a deficiency
bill formally revoking appropriations,
expected to run into billions and pro
viding funds to care for government
departments until June 30, the end of
the fiscal year, will be framed.
trees, many of them loadde with fine
apples. I could write at length on
this line, but will not this time, but
this is a sketch of what you can see
traveling through the hills of north
Georgia. Viewing the high peaks of
those mountains brought back to my
mind the happy school days and best
of all it was there, in those days,
that I found Jesus precious to my
sou). Thinking of those days and the
loved ones, my heart was filled with
joy. I caught myself singing that
sweet song, “Lord, Plant My Feet on
Higher Ground.”
The meeting started at the church
nearby and Carrie said, “Mother is
resting well, the night is beautiful;
let us go over to church.” 1 was
glad when they said unto me “let
us go to the house of the Lord.” As
we entered the church with its beau
tiful oaks and broad white yards wt
found it full of people, what might
be called the one and two-talent kin.,
but the beauty of it was they were
using their talents. Down on theii
knees they were praying for lost
souls from here to France, and ail
over the world, with sweet songs and
talks, good enough, it seemed to me,
to touch the hardest heart. The young
minister. Rev. A. B. Pless, who was
helping the pastor, gave us a warn
ing that I never shall forget, xt was
from the text, “Be not deceived, Goi
is not mocked, whatsoever you sow,
that ye shall also reap.” Our sins are
sure to find us out There, among the
loved ones and friendships of my
school days, now mothers and grand
mothers, the holy spirit was mani
fested. It was glory for me. I got
my part of the blessing. I was hap
py and was willing to give the right
hand of fellowship to every child of
God on the globe.
I want to say “Amen" to Sub
scriber’s letter. It was a great help
to me. I said the writer was a seed
of old father Abraham. Come again
with your faith in God, for now is
the time we need it. Let us not hide
anything for self. I feel like I could
live on one meal a day to help our
soldier boys. When my dear boy left
to go over there I thought I would
brace up and part without tears, but
that is my failing. I could not re
frain. He saw tears falling from mv
eyes. They rose up in his. He brush
ed them off and said, “Don’t do that
mother, it hurts me worse than leav
ing home. It must be God’s will and
if it is I am willing to go.” Just re
ceived the first letter from him. He
is cheerful. He said these things
must be and he is not worrying and
hoping to get back home. I believe in
the power of the ever living God
when he said, “It’s enough,” the
kaiser’s plans wither like the fruit
less fig tree. As Igo I will say “God
be with you till we meet again,” and
forever is the prayer of
GRANDMOTHER.
