PRESERVE EGGS NOW WITH WATER-GLASS They Will Be Ready For Eating Neat Winter SSL An ample supply of eggs for use next winter may be put under water* glass now and kept In excellent con dition until then. Water-glass may be broiuftt at your drug store and a quart, costing twenty to thirty cents, will pre serve fifteen dozen eggs. A five gallon •container will hold the number of eggs Very conveniently. J In preserving eggs the essential •point la to have fresh, clean, Infertile ^sggs. However, fertile eggs may be used If kept cool prior to being pre- I served. Eggs should be collected from nest twice a day as heat from hens starts developments in the figg. If eggs are slightly soiled, they may be cleaned with vinegar. The container should 9 be cleaned thoroughly. Mix one part of water* •glass with nine parts of water, which has been heated to boiling and cooled. This amount will cover fifteen dozen eggs. The mixture is poured into con talnor, and the eggs are then added un til two Inches from top of solution. If a large number are to be preserved at once, It is a little easier to place eggs in container and then add the mixed solution. A cover should then be placed on to prevent evaporation. Keep preserved eggs In cool place. Eggs are easier to preserve than fruit or vegetables so one can blame •himself only if he is without eggs next winter. Every home should put down several dozen, depending on the size of the family. Even the producer can realize a fine proflt by this method. Water-glass eggs sold last winter as ‘high as sixty cents a dozen and were 'preserved when ckbh were twenty-five cents a dozen at a cost of three cents ;a dozen. Eggs have been kept four* ,teen months in water-glass and then considered better than storage eggs. Very few people realize the import ance and value of preserving eggs In the home fbr winter use. From pres ent indications the output of eggs this looming winter will be considerably •decreased while the consumption, ow ing to the scarcity of other foods, Is land will be greatly increased. This will cause the few available eggs to cost more than lost winter. A person preserving eggs at this time is rendering his country, a serv ice by helping next winter’s food sup ply and at the same time making a a proflt or a saving of at least twenty- five cents a dozen.

MILL OWNER GETS NEW LIGHT JM PATRIOTISM Some of the owners of Southern Industral pleats foel that they have been made to carry their full share of the burden of thp war Ihrouuli the Income lax and excessive prollls laws, but one has been convinced that he Is being "let down" rather lightly thus far. The incident' occurred In the direc tors’ room of a hank. Tho president af n mill. In discussing war finances remarked: “Fve paid the Government H5,000 Income tnx and I 'don’t see how I enn Invest very heavily In Gov- ornment bonds." “How much of the remaining 55 Jor cent of your Ineoino would have termed under business rendition, Dlher than those now existing?" One of his friends nsked. The mill owner seemed perplexed., Kb oil the men In the group were* friends tho president at the hank mentioned that the mill owner's hmil- ness had Increased 35 per cent during the past year, acrnrdng to the bank records. "As a matter of fact," his friend remarked, "You have paid but ten per cent on normal business. You haven't been hard hit at nil." The mill owner confessed this was t new view point to him. The owner of a large mercantile souse made a confession at this point. He said hla income tax had ‘mounted to $15,000 and he had thought he had done a great deal, but he realised now that he was doing comparatively little. The mill owner and the merchant both pledged to Invest heavily in the Third Liberty Loan to keep their con science clear toward the Government And the others enjoyed a good laugh. PEANUTS RE MARKETED NOW? Wfctrrvivr jt pay.* better to market peanuts at the oil milj» or to let tho hoga harvest the nulfi Is of interest to farmers now In deciding the acre age and the variety of peanuts that they will plant, also the number of bogs they must have on band when the crop is ready to harvest. An agricultural survey made in Brooks county, covering two hvsdred and eighteen farms, shows that on an average one acre of Spanish pea- nuta will carry five one hundred and fifty pound bogs from August first to September twentieth, with a .gain in weight of three hundred and fifty-eight pounds, which, at twelve cents |t pound, would be worth $42.95. The average cost of these peanuts hogged off was $11.09 per acre which shows a proflt of $31.86. On these same farms the peanuts harvested show an average yield of thirty-seven bushels or eleven hun dred and ten pounds which at $120.00 a ton would be worth $66.60. The average coat of these peanuts when modern picking machinery is used Is about $20.00 per acre* so that the profit vwould be $46.60 per acre. This indicates a greater profit on the side of tjie marketing for oil. It must be remembered also that these farmers have been growing hogs for market for many years and are skill ed .in handling them. When on pea nuts ample mineral matter must be supplied to secure good gain. This survey shows that on an aver age the North Carolina, or Running, Peanuts furnishes grazing for about four one hundred and fifty pound hogs from September fifteenth until Jan uary first, giving an average gain of four hundred and two pounds of pork per acre. They are well adapted for late grazing for hogs, but are more difficult to harvest. The use of hogs to harvest peanut* is preferable where land is plentiful, labor Is scarce, increase of fertility is advisable, and capital is sufficient. The production of winter grazing crops for the hogs also gives profitable employment at Bensons when work It sjack. f It Is probable that with the cotton acreage of South Georgia reduced by the boll weevil that a combination of some peanuts for market and some for hogs will pay best as the substitute for cotton ns a cash crop. This Is especially true under the present la bor conditions where the supply of labor Is hard to get and uncertain in the length of time that It will be avail able. The farmer who plans to hog off part of his peanuts and harvest the balance for the oil mill Is playing safe, in that he can harvest his crops with tho hogy if he lacks a supply of labor In the fall, or the price of pen- nuts should drop too low, or If the price of peanuts Is good and labor available he can hnrvest most of them, save the waste with his hogs, and mar ket the hogs enrller. For these rea sons it will probably pay to use more of the North Carolina peanuts for market them is tho custom at the present time in South Georgia, where the white-skinned Spanish variety is planted almost exclusively for mar ket purposes.—Prof. G. C. Schcmpp, State College of Agriculture. The cycle of money Inreated In Liberty Bonds Is short and complete. The people lend the money to ifco Government; the Government lends •ome to our allies; and our Govern- ment and our allies straightway •pend the money, or the greater por- tfon of It, among- the people of the United States. In some Instances the money paid in by wage earners on ene installment af Liberty Bonds is paid by the .Government to their em ployers and by their employers paid hack to them in the way of wages before the next bond installment la He. The proceeds of the Liberty Loan, Including the greater part of that loaned to our allies, are being spent tor American products—the products ef our factories, our firms, oar mines •04 oUwr Indnstrln.

The most Important means to this ond Is frequent and •hallow cultivation to conserve the moisture, and with the present labor ■hortage, two-horse riding cultivators should be more generally used for this purpose. Cultivate after every rain. If possible, since this helps to prevent the shedding of early squares. Pick the weevils by hand ns soon as they are found In the Held. It Is very Important that an attempt be made to pick all the weevils that have gone through the winter and entered the cotton flelda In the spring. At such time no eggs are being laid. The wee vil only lays eggs in punctured squares, and no squares are yet form ed. Since there are only a Iaw wee vils in the field at this time, they are herd to And, and it requires pains taking care to pick them. They can be located by the appearance of that plants on which they an feeding They aatltate the tender bode In the top of the plants, and every bod thus Injared by the weevil turns brown. By earefnly searching such plants, one or more weevils will usually be found hiding In some Inconspicuous place. Of all ttmee at which weevils may be picked, early picking before the egg laying seasoo begins la the most im portant. A cental search should he made for them every weak even if only a few weevils can ha found par ,. In a abort time, they will begin laying ahoat eight eggs par day, and If each egg Is placed In a separate square, It takes but little dgurtng to (•tannine that one weevil can destroy squares taster than several plants can produce them. — Prof, boy E.

THE EDISON WAV \ t SATURDAY MAY 25TH at the School Auditorium The New Edison ‘The Phonograph with a SoXiV’ • was subjected to this searching test BY Ida Gardner the popular concert contralto stood beside the New Edison. An Edison Re-Creation of her voice was placed on the instrument. Mis* Gardner stood betide the instrument and sang. Suddenly and without warning the ceased singing and the New Edison took up the song alone. The Re-Creation of Miss Gard- ner’s voice was so perfect that those who listened with ©yes closed, could not tell when she had ceased to sing. HAROLD LYMAN the talented flutist, gave a similar convincing demonstra tion with his flute. THE NEW EDISON AND MUSIC’S RE-CREATION ALONE STAND THIS CRITICAL TEST Every singer whose re-created songs are listed in the Edi son Catalog can successfully make this comparison. Over thirty different singers, including Anna Case, Marie Rap- pold and Christina Miller, have appeared in public tests with the New Edison. When artists of this calibre consent to make this comparison in public and in this intimate, crucial way, it means: The Birth of a New Art, a New Chapter in Musical History. There is hut one literal Re-Creation of Music—Edison** Come and hear the performance! of great musicians literally re-created. No obligation to buy. Dr. J. M. Whitehead & Co. VIENNA, GEORGIA ■
