Enlistments From Here
Beginning to Improve
For awhile enlistments from the
city of Bainbridge were so scani that
we were really ashamed to say much
about the progress being made. In
fact there were few, and very few,
white recruits from the city proper
for any branch of the service for
awhile. The negroes have furnished a
number of recruits all along, and the
white boys from other sections of
Decatur county have been answering
the call at a very satisfactory rate.
But in the last few days the Bain-
bridge boys have begun to get in the
spirit of the hour. Enlistments have
picked up for all branches of Lhe ser
vices, hoys going from here to the in
fantry, coast artillery, navy and
other branches of the service. No one
can accuse are Bainbridge young men
of being slackers now, and it is be
lieved that the action of those who
have enlisted so fur will stimulate
further interest, and it will certainly
have the effect of giving Bainbridge a
more vital interest in the war.
One thing ise evident to the obser-
ing mind, and that is that loeul peo
ple have not realized fully that we
are in the war, and it begins to look
like General Wood knew what he
was talking about when he said that
.we will not completely realize what
we are up against until we have sent
over live men and brought back dead
ones. Perhaps it is best that we have
not taken the situation too seriously,
Sorrow and grief will perhaps fall like
a pall over us all too soon, and pre
mature grief will riot avert it, so it
is not without something of philoso
phy that we conduct ourselves in light
hearted fashion before the worst is at
hand.
In connection with the enlistment
idea, the war department has an
nounced thut the impression that reg
istration day ended the period of
voluntanry enlistments is erroneous.
Enlistments will be received for all
branches of the services up to the day
of the draft law goes into
effect, which will be some time next
September. So, if any young man is
holding back from enlisting oil ac
count of the impression that he is too
late, let him get over this, and offer
his services at once. The volunteers
will certainly outrank the fellows who
are sent for. They will huve the ad
vantage of longer training and ex
perience, and will have the advantage
of having offered their services.
Peach Belt Is Hit
By Violent Storm
, Macon, Ga. June 3—A violent wind
storm acompanied by hail, struck the
peach belt in Middle Georgia this
! afternoon.
Thousands of peach trees were
stripped of fruit. Telegraph poles
and trees were torn down. At some
sections of the peach belt hail stones
were three inches dep. So far as
known there was no loss of life.
Sections of. Houston, Crawford,
Twiggs and Bibb counties were struck
by the storm. At some points hail
covered the ground to a depth of from
three to eight inches according to per
sons who were in that section. Sever
al automobiles parties that passed
through the district brought buckets
filled with hail stones to this city.
These parties say that thousands of
peach trees have been stripped of
peaches and that the corn, water
melon and cotton crops in the path of
the storm have been ruined.
I.ive stock was killed at Roberta, in
Crawford county.

Crop Acreage For
One-Horse Farm
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia
State College of Agriculture.
i Field and Food Crops.
On the average one-horse farm In
the South there should bo planted in
1917:
5 acres in corn and velvet beans.
a acres in cow peas for hay, to
be followed by winter oats.
6 acres in cotton.
5 acres in peanuts to be crushed
fur oil or grazed down by hogs.
Hi acres in sweet potatoes to be
followed by winter cover crops.
I’A acres in alfalfa or crimson clo
ver, cowpeax or soy beans.
1 acre in rape, oats, vetch, cow-
peas or soy beans.
1 acre in truck crops followed
by hay or grazing crops for bogs.
10 acres should be set aside for
pasturage for cows and hogs.
Ms acre in orchards.
Ms acre in garden.
Total cultivated land, 26 acres.
Animals Which Should Be Maintained.
1 good horse or mule (work
slock).
2 milk cows.
1 calf.
1 yearling (slaughter for'meat).
2 brood sows.
50 hens.
57—Total.
These should be maintained on ev
ery ono-horse farm in. order that the
family may be properly supplied with
the necessary milk, butter, meat,
chickens and eggs.
This plan should be adjusted or mod
ified by the proper committees having
the food supplies in charge in the re-
pective states to meet local condi
tions.
Moton Declares That
Blacks Must Do Bit
World’s Food Supply Deficient
J. P. Campbell, Dir. of Ext., State
Col. Of Agri., Athens, Ga.
The following statement by David
Lubin, American Representative to
the International Institute of Agricul
ture, is of vital concern to the Ameri
can people, and Georgia farmers
should do their share to relieve the
tense situation.
Associated Press Dispatch.
Rome via Paris, April 5.
"For the first time in many years
there exists a deficit in the supply of
coin, wheat, rye, barley and oats, esti
mated at a total of 130,000,(100 bushels
less than the normal requirements
for countries open to trade. The
situation 13 worse than was expected
last October.’’
Who is going to feed Georgia this
yen'?
Tho West has been feeding the
State to the extent of about $85,000,-
000 per year.
Congress has declared that a state
of war exists with Germany. This
calls for an army of a half million
to a million men who must be fed.
The Western supply which has been
coming to Georgia will necessarily he
diverted to feed our army as welt as
the army of the Allies
The following statement by Asst.
Secretary Vrooman of the United
States Department, of Agriculture be
fore the Cattlemen's Association in
Atlanta, Georgia, April 0, Is emphatic:
"The most important question con
fronting us is this: Feeding our ci
vilian population, our army and navy
and the armies of our allied powers.
Unless the South grows food crops in
abundance,—in greater quantities
than this section has grown at any
time in its history, the South—like
Germany,—faces starvation."
It may be a little late—but not too
late—for the farmers to consider se
riously more crops for food and feed
stuff s.
The boys and girls should be en
couraged to join corn, pig, canning,
poultry and other agricultural clubs.
Conserving products raised, es
pecially by canning and preserving
perishable fruits and vegetables.
Save the breeding stock, ns these
will be at a premium, not only during
the interval of the war, but immedi
ately afterwards.
Help your neighbors to secure
planting seeds and fertilizers.
Farmers should undertake to feed,
not only themselves, but their city
neighbors. City folks should buy the
local farmers’ products in preference
to imports.
This is a Patriotic duty as well as
a necessity.
We have the authentic informaiion
from the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture. that with the western suppnes
diverted, there is a possibility of
Georgia suffering from hunger be
fore Christmas.
Unless we meet the emergency,
Georgia will be a weakness to the na
tion in this war.
It is also pointed out by President
Soule that it may be impossible dur
ing the progress of the war to secure
the transportation of cotton to the
eastern markets. Consequently, the
United States could manufacture only
about seven millions bales «tr.d the
price of cotton would likely drop to
a low rate.
Cail on the county agent when he
can he of service to you in suggest
ing what, when and how to plant
many garden and field crops.
Troy, Ala. June 3—In an address
filed with common sense and sound:
advice. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal I
of the Tuskegee Institute, told a large '
audience here today that it was the j
“patriotic duty of every American'
citizen to register on Tuesday, June
5th.”
The meeting held here was under!
the auspices of the Colored Men’s ■
Patriotic League of Pike County and
fully two thousand persons including:
many leading white citizens were
present to hear the successor of ‘
Booker T. Washington.
“I hope,” sand Moton, “that no
negro will fail to register day after j
tomorrow and it is my hope that
each one of you will appoint your
selves a committee to see that every
negro in this county is advised of his
duly. The fact that you do not vote
has no bearing on the present situa
tion. Every man between the ages of
2! and 31 regardless of race must
register.”
Concerning migration the speaker
said:: “the unfortunate one-crop sys
tem, the advent Hoods and destructive
storms has caused unrest and migra
tion among the negroes which has as
tonished even the most faithful stu
dents of negro life in the south. The
inducement of large wages, greater
educational advantages and less civic
discriminations in tlie north have
made it extremely easy for labor
agents to appeal to the negroes of the
South to leave their homes. Notwith
standing all of the advantages which
the North offers and which I have
touched upon slightly, I still believe
that the south is the best place for the
large majority of the negro race and
it is most encouraging to me to see
the best classes of white people and
the best classes of colored people com
ing together for a mutual and help
ful understanding of their problems.”
“Mob violence,” said Moton, ‘wheth
er in Tennessee or Illinois will not
solve the race problem. It must be
handled in the spirit of justice and
fair play.”
