Why not stop this outgo of noney
of * the Georgia farmer by feeding
more cotton seed hulls and meal, by
raising more oats and corn, by grow
ing more roughage to take place of
expensive hay? Georgia need not
buy from another state one single bit
of food for cattle if It will feed what
it already has and grow more abund

very successfully.
cause the corn is better adapted to
his needs than probably other corn
from a distance would be.
If your corn is ncA already gather
ed, go into tho field, pick the medium-!
3ized stalk that is well eared. It
should have, preferably, two ears on
the stallt. Take both cars if they
are well developed, but In case there
is only one well developed, it does
not matter, as some think, whether It
is u top ear or the bottom ear. The
ear with the harder grain is prefer
able.
Put your selected ears where they
can dry readily. If this Is attended

ant test, that is, the germination test,
which will show whether the seed

gained.
Served ice water at booth in

writing desk with all conven

from those departments of orr
work in which the Federation i s
a wnole was interested, was
(.laced convenient for distribu

given in honor of these guest 1
to which our City Federation
was also invited. Mrs. Florence

ing the toast of the occasion,
“To Women’s Work.”
There have been in all 8 pub
lic meetings.
We were especially fortunate
in securing Richmond P. Hobson
in “The Great Destroyer.”
In the first campaign for gov
ernor 1750 state circulars were
mailed to voters in the county
together with 3500 p.inted by
local Union; The county went
for Pore Brown.
In the Alexander campaign
2000 copies of Tippins bill with
Mr. Alexander’s reply c> to Mr.
Brown’s veto were di 1’ibuted,
alsi 100 additional circulars got
ten out on day of election. The
time was so limited, stormy
weather also interfering, we feel
that we should have carried De
catur county, which was only
lost by 105 votes. This being a
narrow margin considering votes
polled.
We run a moving picture slide,
paid for at advertising rates,
which we hope to make most
effective in arousing public senti
ment.

pages of literature distributed, \
