SHOULD WE GO TO WAR
FOODSTUFFS WILL SOAR.
Man Who Ha* Hi* Corn Crib and
Smokehouse Filled Will Be
in Luck.
The Georgia Department of agri
culture considers none of its recent
efforts more valuable or important
to the individual and to the state
than that of seeking to induce the
Georgia farmer to raise his own food
supplies at home.
The establishment of its market
department and the selling of nitro
gen forming bacteria to the farmers
at cost, are two of the agencies the
department has made use ot to en
courage the home growing of food
supplies. The efforts of the. veterin
ary department and other agencies
have already been turned in that di
rection.
"I believe and hope we are going
to k'*ep out of the European war,”
said Commissioner Price in a state
ment issued today, “hut we cannot
close our eyes to the fact that we
are In greater danger of getting into
a fight with some foreign country
than we have been in many years.
“If we should happen to get into
it if you are going to see the price of
foodstuffs soar, and the man who
has his corn crib and smoke house
well filled will lx* in luck, while
his neighbor who has neglected to
prepare for It, will be dependent on
him. TTiere is the same difference
between living at home and buying
abroad, as there is between independ*
ence and dependence; it is a ques
tion of taking your choice.
“On the other hand, If we keep
out of the war as we all hope, there
is Just as much reason for making
at home what is needed in the way
of food for the family and for the
etock European demand is going to
keep prices way up, and even though
we should not make one dollar’s
worth to sell, we’ll find at the end
of the year that the man who has
grown his food crops along with his
cotton, is independent, and the man
who has not is dependent on some
body else
“I don’t care how much cotton a
farmer raises, if he only takes care
of the food situation first. Make
enough corn and oats and hay for
the stock; enough grain and vegeta
bles and meat for the family, and
you are in a position to defy the cot
ton market, no matter what it does.
If you haven’t got a cow or a pig.
figure on getting them, and raise
food for them now. If three-fourths
o' our Georgia farmers had been liv
ing at home when the cotton crisis
came last fall, there wouldn’t have
been any cotton crisis. When we
make our own food we’ll be independ
ent, but not until then.”

Mr. Will Pentecost of Sparta, vis
ited friends and relatives at Cedar
Hill and County Line last week.
Mrs. Brown and family wish to ex
press their sincerest thanks to the
good people of the community who
ministered to them so kindly during
the desperate illness of their little
girl.
Our farmers who planted cotton
seed with improved planters almost
all failed to get a stand until the re
cent rains. We who used old-fash
ioned planters have almost a perfect
stand.
During a recent rainstorm Mrs.
Belle Pentecost’s barn was struck
by lightning. The horse was killed
and all the fet'd burned with the
building. The neighbors met one
day last week and built her anew
barn.
Our people on the east side of
the district are asking for two new
roads. They start less than a quar
ter mile apart on one side and come
out at the same place on the other
side. The commissioners will go over
the ground and decide which will
benefit the most people.
1 hope that 1 may be pardoned for
even suggesting. Very soon Winder
will build a magnificent school

cause six or eight hundred children
will spend most of their working
hours under its dome five days ot

would like to see a $20,000 building
on the lot. But 1 would rather you
would have SIO,OOO for show and
$5,000 for equipment, for the com
fort and convenience of the nearly,
or quite, a thousand children who
will attend there and their good
teachers as well.
Last week two prominent citizens
of Wind* r were talking. One said
“We need a magnificent court house
as well a.s the school building. Build
a line court house and attract prom
inent people to come here and live
and build up the city.”
The other said: "Winder gets muc

The banks and business people get
much of their patronage from the
rural districts. I favor putting all

the rural people near town.”
In the matter of public schools
if I could 1 would have the state to
furnish the school hohuse and the
equipment of furniture, hooks and
maintainahce. I would have the
teachers paid promptly and well. I
would make the tuition free to the
sixth grade. 1 would, by law, unless
prevented by sickness or physically
disabled, require each child to at
tend school at least three months of
each year. In case of a widowed
mother, who was entirely dependent
on the labor of her child or other
helpless or afflicted families, I would
have the government pension the
