HOME GROWN WHEAT
BEST FORMING
Different Varieties Are Reeom-
' mended For North Georgia
’■ And South Georgia
Mb experience ot Georgia farmers
With wheat ahows that in the major-
** tty 'of cases home gp>wn seed gives
the best returns. The Food Adminis
tration has asked us to plant a larger
acreage than ever this year to wheat
and now ia the time to make provision 1
tor seed. Now, some varieties do
mush better In one .section of the
state than-others.
The Georgia Red or -Blue Stem,
pnd it seems-that these two names
— applied to the same wheat, ap-
to be better adapted to the
southern part of the stats, and is one
Bt the hast varieties that edn be grown
that section. The Red May prob-
■1% comes second for south Geor
gia conditions, everything considered.
This wheat is very much llkb the Geor
gia Red in many respects, bat Vs a little
later in maturing, which is a disad
vantage. Leap's Frollfle, another
smooth wheat, seems to be pretty weU
adapted to the* northern part of the
state, but does not show so much prom
ise in the Coastal Plain region. Varie
ties that a^p well adapted to all parts
at the state are Australian Red, Mam
moth Red and Fulcaster.
A ,selected Btraln of Fulcaster made
daring gka part pear. Ihtafc
•ho hvrgoat yield recorded daring me
Past ten years.
Diets Mediterranean for a number
ot years has been quo of the highest
yielding wheats that has been grown
in Ole northern part of the state.' The
objection to this wheat is that it has
a soft straw and very often lodges as
it did at the Oollege thia year. In
1917 all wheat waa abort atrawed, and
there waa no lodging, hot with a fa
vorable growing season during the
spring like 1118, It made a very large
growth of straw and about one-third of
the area went down. This makes har
vesting quite difficult, and reduces
yield; for this reason Diets Mediter
ranean ia not recommended for land
in a very high state eft cultivation.
Whatever variety is selected, it
should he seen to that tfls wheat has
been well cared for and treated for
weevil with carbon bisulphide immedi
ate]* after threshing. Ordinarily, pre
caution should be taken to see that
it is well dried, bat with weather con
dition prevailing aa they have during
the pact mreshing season, there
very little dancer of any wheat not
heiag in good enough condition to keep
perfectly VTheat that is heated is not
fit for seed, and an,effort should be
made to ascertain K the wheat has
been handled properly before baying
it for seed.—IWqf. John R. Fain, Col

By Bract Barton
I WILL tell you what will happen some
night this' winter in nance. Some
night when its cold and dark. There
will be a rustling through the front line
trench, where our boys stand guard. And
a heavy ladened Secretary will make
his way along. .
- In his hands will be great steaming
pots: in his pocket chocolate and ciga
rettes. 1 \
From one man to another he will go,
passing a cup full of hot coffee to hands
that tremble with the cold; bringing the
comfort of a bit of sweet and a smoke.
Stn WiU hail him cheerily, slapping I
r him on (he back; and when he has gone|
things will be a little easier in that trench
because he has passed that way.
How much will it cost to make that
- trip, do you suppose? Counting the
pittance that the Secretary is paid, and
the cost of the chocolate and the ciga
rettes and all?
Five dollars? Twenty-five dollars?
I do not know.
But whether it is five dollars or
twenty-five, I’d like to think that it is
my five or twenty-five—wouldn’t you?
That some night when it’s cold and lone-*
some, my money and yours might send a
Secretary out along that frontlinetrench.
Let’s make up our minds that we are
going to pay for a score of those trips.
A'score of the nights this winter Shall-be
our nights
—nights when the boys greet joy. %
’ ously the chocolate and cigarettes that
our money provided; and are happier
because our representative has passed.

TO THE PUBLIC
From this date I will quit buying
cotton from the board as I will be
ta future a warehouseman only. The
cause is namely: It cost too much
money to carry a balo of cotton away
from the railroad, then have to haul
it back. Thep resent cost is as fol
lows:
Sample at present price 60
Hauling to Warohouse ..10
From warehouse back to railroad .15
Warehouse charges '. 66
Total $1.30
Kind friends who pays this? Lis
ten! you pay it. If thii Waa all I
would stop and say no more, but it
coat 3 days time on account of poor
service to get your bale of eotton out
of the warehouse on account of tho
scarcity of labor, as on account of the
warehouses being full it takes four
men to get a bale picked up and out
of a piel; I say cut it ou^.
I will weigh, class and put your
cotton f. o, b. the G, 8, & F. Railroad
for sixty cents per bale against $1.30
it is now costing you. A saving of
o if e-eight of a cent par pound, not
only this, but I will save you three
Bay’s interest aa well, as loss in weight
for this time to the buyer.
Friends: I know the cotton busi
ness and am telling you facts this you
cannot deny, and more, I will not
kcop you waiting all day to sell your
cotton. I will operate a free automo- ^
bile to carry you and the buyers
twice a day at 9:80 a. m. and 3.p. m.,
these will bem y principle sales hours
as it is after the.opening and close of
the contract markets. -
Remember I will not buy your cot
ton'unless you so dosiro then-1 will
resell it to tho first buyer that comes
unless tho markotc hanges, at the
samep rice paid for it. I will make
sixty cents a bale without ever samp
ling and underweighing and save you
time and interest.
This is the time to cut put all ex
tra expenses and handle your crops
to tho best advantage to your coun
try and yoursolf.
Do not expose this the South’s
greatest crop to the rain to rob I
will house and protect every bale of
cotton I weigh,

"I got a bottle of Ziron", writes
Marshall Rhordea, of Eufaula, Ala.,
"and took It for Indigestion, nervous-
neos, loss of appetite and etmtlar trou
bles. It helped me very much. My
mother-in-law eatfered with the asms
troubles, to I gave her a dose or two
ot Ztron, and sha says It helped her
greatly. I will always keep a bottle
of Ziron in the house and will speak
a good word for It whenever I have
the opportunity."
Ziron la a new combination ot Iron,
with tho hypophosphltes of lime and
soda, and other valuable tonic ingre
dients, which have been found to
build np the anemic,' weak, worn-out
-system. Ziron puts Iron Into your
blood when yon need It. If you are
pale, weak, nervous, depressed, have no
appetite, it Is probably a sign that your
blood needs Iron. Take Ziron.
Tour druggist sells It, on a guaran
tee. See him about it.
