Everybody in this section of the
state should support Macon in her
efforts to secure the farm loan bank.
Now that Atlanta has withdrawn ..in
favor of-Macon there will be no con-
teat for the bank in the state which
makea the chance to land one in Geor

been with the state divided. The es

ands of women and children on the
farms and in the schools mills and
factories who are now being reached
ard benefitted through the agency of
these clubs. The women of Georgia
do not need an enlarged sphere, they
co not need the ballot. They can
easily confine themselves to the work
that relates to home life and find suf
ficient employment to keep them oc
cupied for ages to come. The mem
bers of the Federated Clubs should
not even take time to consider the
question of suffrage for women there
ore too many bigger and more worthy
problems in need of their attention.

- Macon is going to put up a strong
fight for the 1917 meeting of the
Southern Conference for Education
and Industry. This will he a big thing
for Macon and we hope she gets it.
The County Fair comes but.once
a year, let's everybody have a good
time for the next two days.
The report that there will he ad-
mlstion charges at the Dooly County
Fair is entirely erroneous, as there
will be none. Everybody invited to
ccme and see what Dooly County and
her people can and have raised.
The finding of twenty-seven boll
weevils in the craw of a partridge in
Crisp county is an eloquent appeal to
hunters to spare the lives of the feath
ery tribe during this season. With
the country in the confusion it ia
over'the presence of the weevil any
thing that can eat them alive and in
such quantities at a time is too val
uable to be recklessly destroyed.
Human labor is the greatest of all
the farm expenses, and to increase
the profit on the farm we must learn
methodB of economy in labor of men.
The one-horse plow and tha bull-
tongue for breaking the soil are not
economical of human labor, and arc
not effective implements for the prop
er breaking of the soil. It takes far
more time to break the soil poorly
than to break to a proper depth with
a heavier team and larger plow, and
the one lAan with two or three horses
can do the work better and more eco
nomically in the time employed. The
increased crops made by deep break
ing of the soil will alone go far to
ward the greater profit in the crop.
. Then in the cultivation of the hoed!
crops of cotton and com the use of
the smoothing harrow and the weeder
before the germination of the seed
and for sometime after the crop is up
will save -time in going over the land
and checking the smarting grass and
weeds, and in a wet season will keep
the farmer out of the grass while the
tr.an with nothing but a plow to cover
the grass will becaught and thus be
making human labor more essential
end costly. • ...
And. in the further cultivation of
the land we have seen men each with
a mule and plow going four times to
a row, when oneman wiflT a pair of
«f mules and a riding cultivator
would cultivate both sides of a row at
one passing; and do far better work
than the single mule and man. Then ... „ „ ,

Georgia must have better cows.
Only one-tbird of them pay for the
feed they eat A profitable dairy cow
Inherits ability to give a large amount
of milk, through right breeding. Tbe
scrub sire is,responsible for most of
the robber cows. ... .
That a well-bred bull will get daugh
ters that will be betteF milch cows
than were their dams, la proven by
the records.
Tbe best information available deal
ing with tbe transmission cf dairy
characteristics by the bull to his
daughters comes from the Jersey herd
of Prof. C., H. Eckles,. of the MIX-'
souri Experiment Station, where coni-
iuiU Spttirfat records have been-kppt
of every cow since 1892. The first bull
used was Missouri Rioter from a good
sire but a mediocre dam.
The daughters gave less milk and
fat than their dams. In every case,
the daughter was inferior to her dam.
The next bull used was Hugorotus,
a cheap bull without any high class
animals lp his iwdigree. This bull
bad eleven daughters with a total of
fifty lactation periods with dams w.ith
sixty-two lactation periods. Tbe rec
ords are as follows:
Dams. Daughters,
Average yield . - ..
of milk . . . 4,969 lbs. 4,667 lbs.
Average per
cent of fat. . . 4:66 6.49.
Average yield
of fat la lbs. . 231 lbs. 246 lbs.
Tbe general results of using this
hull were disastrous.
Tbe next toll, used was Lome of
Meridale. This bull' had a splendid
pedigree from tbe standpoint of rec
ords of production, and his daughters
show tbe value of those records.-He
bed 12 daughters with a total of 67
lactation periods from dams with 66
lactation periods. Btudy, sarefully the'
following summary:
' Dams..'Daughters.

Average per '

Avenge yield

His daughters show tbe remarkable
increase of 1,410 pounds of milk, and
(6 pounds of fat per year over t,betr
dams. In five cases the increase was
oyer 2,000 pounds. In six y ears .which

Children's Teeth Should Not Be Neg-
Noted.
A recent investigation made by the
U. S. Public Health Service in con
nection with the studies of rural
school children showed that 49.3 per
cent had defective teeth, 21.1 per
cent had two or more missing teeth,
and only 16.9 per cent had had dental
attention. Over 14 per cent never
a tooth brush, 58.2 per cent used
one occasionally and only 27.4 per
cent used one daily. Defective teeth
reduce physical efficiency. Dirty,
suppurating, snsgle-toothed mouths
are responsible for many cases of
heart disease, rheumatism, and other
chronjc affections. The children are
not responsible for the neglected
state of their teeth. The ignorant and
careless parent is to blame for this
condition—a' condition which hamp
ers mental and physical growth and
puts a permanent handicap on our
future citizens. School teachers can
and are doing much in inculcating
habits of personal cleanliness on the
rural school child but this will fail of
the highest accomplishment unless
parents cooperate heartily and con
tinuously. This is aduty which we
owe our children.

GEORGIA'S FEDERATED CLUBS.
The Federated Clubs of Georgia
are in session at Macon this week.
The women who compose this great
organisation are engaged in a work
so broad in ita scope and of such vi
tal importance to the state as a whole
that it is difficult to call attention
even to its every salient point. This
State Federation is moving in such
an enlarged sphere and is making
such broad and sweeping strides as
to make'it a power of tremendous
force for progress in Georgia. The
activities of the organization have
included a volume of efforts of
worthy nature, consplcious' among
which are those to conserve health
and natural beauty, those to wipe out
illiteracy and to promote progress in
agricultural work. In other words
the aim and purpose of the Feder
ated clubs has been to create a broad
er, richer and letter standard of life
throughout the state.
The work of these women has been
crowned with success. They have ac
complished great things because, the
opportunity for the work they-'have
been engsged in hae been big end in
viting. So fsr the effect of their sc
tivittea has had direct or indirect in
fuence upon thehome and that’s why
it has been of immeasurable worth.
Now the question of suffrage for
women is looming up before this
great body for discussion. For sc-
eral years sn effort has been made
to Inject politics into the affairs of
Georgia Club Women, so far the
workings of those who have been be
hind it have been defeated.
If the day ever comes and let us
Lope that ft may not when the Geor
gia Federation becomes an advocate
no valleys between the rows to gath
er s head of water and break 'over
and start a gulley. There are more
gullies started by hilling up the rows
of corn or cotton with plow or sweep
than in Zhnost any other way.
In the harvesting of the corn crop
it is not economicsl to Strip the
blades by human hands, for it has
been proved by careful experiment
that the stripping of the green blades
reduces the corn crop to an extent
fully equal to the value of the fo'dder
saved, and the costly human labor is
wasted. The c-.m crop can'be far
more economically saved by cutting
with a binder and the shocking can
be done more rapidly and cheaply
with the bound corn stalks than when
cut singly by hand.
One of the best farmers we*know
of in the South, a man who prows an
nually several thousand 'bushels, of
corn, claims that henakes corn at a
cost of 11 cents a bushel. B it he
does not depend on fetrillzcrs to make
it, but always has a heavy sod to turn
under for his corn, on which the farm
manure has been spread as fast as
made, and when visiting this farm wc
failed to eee any manure lying in the
barnyard wasting.
Then white much stock is kept the
economical handling of the farm ma
nure is a great saving. For a man to
load up a wagon with manure and
then drive out over the field and fork
it in little piles and then handle it
again is making themanure too costly.
Londqd at the start into a manure
spreader, the man drives out and
leaves the manure spread far better
than can be 'spread by hand, and there
Is a great saving of human labor.—

SOLDIERS GOT RELIEF
ERONI SORENESS
Eoy^ oa the Border Relieved Their
Paine and Achee with
Sloan'e Liniment.
Once upon a time Norman Jones,
serving in the National Guard at
El Paso, returned to camp after a
strenuous 16 mile hike foot-sore and
leg-weary. Ho had. not been long
in active service and his shoulders,
back and limbs felt the after-effects
of marching.
Remembering Sloan's Liniment,
Jones applied it to the sore spots and
went to bed. He writes: “I arose the
rext morning feeling fine;-in fact J
had entirely forgotten about the hike
and weift out for a four-hour drill in
the sun as spry as ever.
Private Jones nassaid the exper
ience along, and many a boy on the
border relieved the agony of sprains,
strains, bruises, insect bites, cramped
muscles, rheumatic twinges, etc., by
the use of Sloan’s Liniment.
Easily applied without rubbing.
At all druggists, 25c, 60c and $1.00.
