NUMBER 9.
REPORT ON
BY-PRODUCTS OF SWEET
you know how many by-products
can he made from sweet potatoes?
The old-fashioned innocent looking
yam has a store of'magic things in
its skin which the chemists have
found out about and actually pro
duced:
Pour kinds of flour.
Pour kinds of meal.
- A delicious syrup.
Good grade of vinegar.
’ Shoe blacking.
Library paste.
Nice, white starch.
Mock cocoanut. ,
Pour kinds of breakfast food.
Writing ink.
Two grades of coffee.
Two grades of tapioca.
Stock food.
14 kinds of wood filler.
Over forty shades of dye that range
from black to orange.
And last of all—rubber.
These things ,have actually been
made at the Tuslcegee Experiment sta
tion.
As yet there is no commercial de
velopment of these potato by-products,
but there will be.
We can all.-,remember when cotton
seed were thrown away; now they are
worth nearly as much per acre as the
cotton.
It used to be that millers were pros
ecuted for throwing wheat bran into
tfe stream; people said it killed the
fish. Coal tar used to be valued only
for roofing; the by-products of coal
tar as developed by chemists make one
of the fairy stories of modern indus
try.
It is reasonable to believe that in a
few years the sweet potato will come
into its own. It is not an expensive
crop to raise and does not draw heav
ily upon the soil like cotton and cane,
Apd the yield per acre is enormous.
. Incidentally the United States de
partment of agriculture is planning to
establish a sweqt potato syrup produc
tion plant at Fitzgerald, Ga., to exper
iment with the possibilities ; of the
sweet potato.
WHAT’S YOUR IDEA?
What is the most crying need of
the hour in this town—a need that
could be supplied by our local au
thorities ?
We would like to have some an
swers to this question for publication
in the columns of our paper. The an
swers should be brief and to the
point.
Our local authorities are of our best
citizenry. They are eminently prac
tical and are capable of absorbing and
making the most of the diversified
ideas that would thus be presented to
them.
Think the matter over with care,
and then write us your opinion of
what is most needed in this town.
No matter how brilliant your per
sonai idea may be, it can be of no
value to the „ community unless you
make it public.
That is what We seek—publicity of
ideas.
It is good for us all.
Spring yours!

Peace Is Restored In Illinois Strike
Elizabethtown, Ill.—Peace virtually
has been restored in the Hardin coun
ty Fluorspar mining district,, practical
ly on the day of the first anniversary,
September 11, of the calling of the
strike. Developments include: Refusal
of Ed Carbine, organizer of the inter
national Union of Mine, Mill and Smelt
er Workers, to come to Elizabethtown
from Harrisburg to appear before the
investigating committed appointed by
the governor; an agreement by the
town officials to withdraw private de
tectives.
v Got to Make It Hot.
An employer remarks that a good
deal of “roasting” seems necessary to
get things well done.—Boston Tran-
tcript.
Hot and dry feebly expresses wea
ther conditions through this section
at the present. All late crops have
been materially injured by the drouth
and extreme hot weather. The cotton
crop, what little is mad'e will be gath
ered in September. The crops through
this section will not average one bale
to the plow, not enough to half-way
pay taxes, much less anything on
debtsi. It is the opportune time for
the authorities to ease somewhat cer
tain items of taxation. Will it be
done?
The protracted meetings at all the
churches through this section have
been held. As a whole the meetings
have been satisfactory. Rev. Brown
assisted by Rev. Strickland, of Atlan
ta, are holding protracted services at
Vaughn this week. Rev. Stone filled
his appointment at 1 the Christian
Church Sunday and received two
members into the church.
Mrs. Ellie Drewry has been confin
ed to the hospital in Griffin the past
ten daySp, where Ijshe underwent a
serious operation. We are glad to
state that she Is improving.
Mrs. T. C. Malone has been very
low for several days. She is reported
some better at present.
Mr. H. C. Chapell is still confined
to his room. No improvement in his
condition.
Whole Block Destroyed In Greenfield
Greenfield, Tenn.—Fire of undeter
mined origin early in the morning of
September 11, destroyed an entire
block of buildings in the business sec
tion of Greenfield, including the post-
office and town hall. A number of
stores and farm implement warehouse
were among other buildings destroyed.
The loss is estimated at one hundred
thousand dollars. So far as known
there was no loss of life, but a num
ber of narrow escapes have been re
ported to the authorities. The cause
is being investigated.

EARLY SEEDING
Unde Sam and Disarmament
Henry Cabot Lodge ©^Massachu
setts, Republican leader of the senate,
ha» been appointed by President Har
ding a delegate to the coining disarm
ament conference iu Washington. In
the senate, in answer to Senator Hari
risen of Mississippi, he outlined some
of the principles which will: guide him
at the conference.
He favors a general. ; limitation
of armaments, but lie favors no limi
tation unless it is general. He re
gards armament reduction as primari
ly necessary to relieve the world’s
economic distress, and he hopes that
it will also promote universal peace.
He considers that the United States
has already cut its array and navy
budgets to the danger line and thinks
it would be a grave mistake to make
further curtailment unless there is an
international agreement for reduction
of armament.
“I have always been in favor of
a limitation of armament,” said Senator Lodge. “But it must be a general
reduction. I shall do everything in my power to carry out these views in
the great office to which the Pr^ident lias appointed me.”
Of Small Grain Proves
Profitable.
Every Man His Own Censor
The C'^gressional Record, as ev
eryone knows is supposed to be a
shorthand record of the proceedings
of congress. But it isn’t—always.
Take, for instance, the battle of words
in the senate the other day between
the fiery “Jim” Reed of Missouri and
the exact-spoken, blond-haired Me-
Cumber of 'North Dakota. It was a
fracas the witnesses will not soon for
get, and the only reason it ended as a
battle of words was because John
Sharp Williams of Mississippi (por
trait herewith) a master peacemaker,
intervened.
The bonus bill was under discus
sion. Reed twitted McCumber.
The North Dakota man replied. Finally
the exchange of compliments got to
the point where McCumber said some
thing about settling tlie matter “out
side.” Reed replied:
“I never saw a blackguard yet
who did not want to go outside to set
tle something.”
The story of the Reed-McCumber fracas was published everywnere. But
n ” nper printed the story in full. There was just one publication left in all
America in a position, to record tlie affair in all its details and that was the
Congressional Record.
But not one word did tlie Record contuin.
Why? Simply because the most complete censorship in America had ac
complished its work. Reed and McCumber themselves did the censoring.
Earliness of seeding wheat and oats
has proven to be the most important
factor in securing large yields, in ex
periments ;condueted for six years
in Athens, Georgia, says the Exten
sion Division of the Georgia State
College of Agricttlture.
Oats s’eeded o* October 15, gave an
average of 39.5 bushels per acre for
the six year period, while those seed
ed on November 15, averaged only 17
bushels per acre for the same period.
This shows an, increase in yield of
132 per cent in favor of the early
seeding.
A similar test with wheat for a five
year period shows that when seeded
on October 15, the average yield is
3p.7 bushels while the November
seedings have averaged only 18.8
bushels, or an increase of 16.9 bush
els from early seeding. Above Macon
oats and wheat should be sown at
least by October 20, and further south
by November 1st.
Rye for seed purposes may be seed
ed slightly later with no decrease in
yield.
Land for grain should be broken at
once where possible and allowed to
stand until just before seeding time
when it should be harrowed down
smooth. Where grain is to follow' cot
ton the green stalks can be turned
under, as soon as the cotton is picked,
the land rolled and grain seeded with
a disk drill.
An application of 200-300 pounds of
acid phosphate at planting time and
100 pounds nitrate soda or 80 pounds
sulphate of ammonia about February
15, to March 1, will pay in most
cases.
Among the best varieties of oats
tested at the College are Appier, Ful-
ghum, Bancroft, Hundred Bushel and
Texas Rust Proof.
In the extreme northern part of the
state, Fulcaster -wheat is one of the
best varieties, but further south the
Blue Stem, or Georgia Red will give
the best yields.
FLINT RIVER ASSOGIATlOf
VERY MUCH AWAKE.
Wood and the Philippines
Am
There may have bee* a Jdme when
the residents of a small country town
or a farming district took little or no
interest in affairs outatde of their
own local community, other than to
vote their straight party tickets at
election time. ,
But that time is not now. It has
not been for many years.
The man behind the counter or the
plow is just as vitally interested in
state and national affairs as is his
cousin in the great city.
The foreign news is just as careful
ly scanned from day to day, and the
field of research and invention is re
ligiously scrutinized.
There js little that transpires in
the world of aifairs that is not known
and understood by the man in his
rural home, for it is through his con
stant search for advanced knowledge
of a practical nature that he is en
abled to keep pace with the swiftly
moving tides of life.
If a just comparison could be made
it is probable that, man for man, the
person in the country town or on the
farm would be found to be better post
ed on the affairs of the world in gen
eral than the average dweller of any
' of the great cities.

The house military affairs com
mittee has tabled a resolution giving
Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood authority to
maintain his army rank while serving
r as governor general of the Philippines,
for which lie lias been selected by the
President. This, of course, means
that General Wood, in the judgment '
of the committee, will have to resign •
from the army to accept the place. !
Representative McKenzie of Illinois, j
said that the action was taken with- 1
out criticism of General Wood; it was
simply felt that a bad precedent would
otherwise be established.
On the other hand, Senator Wads
worth of New York, chairman of the
senate military committee, lias intro
duced a bill, understood to have been
suggested by tlie administration pro
viding that active army ofllcers shall
be eligible for “civil offices of the gov
ernment in administering its territor
ial possessions.”
The University of Pennsylvania board of trustees has granted General
Wood leave of absence frond scholastic duties until September 1, 1922.

Robertson of Oklahoma (portrait here

not countenance the proposition for a

says:
“It’s Just nonsense. I don’t know
of a woman in the United States pos
sessed of tlie qualifications to sit on
that commission. She would have to
have experience in international af
fairs. She would have to have expe
rience in diplomacy and diplomatic
affairs. She would have to be famil
iar with foreign languages and condi
tions. She would have to have social
standing. She should not be a climb
er socially. She would have to be pre
pared to listen much and talk little. I do not know of a woman who dlls that
bill, da you?”
