Home Raised Foods Bulwark of Europe-South’s Present Crying Need Pre*. Andrew M. Soule, Georgia State College of Agriculture To a Georgian visiting Europe, that which stands out paramount in agrl culture, is the absolutely complete util isation of land in producing food sup plies, not one, nor a few kinds of food for each farm, bqt as complete a circle of food requirements as it is possible to raise. What is the result in times of war? There is a food supply at home. What would happen in the South should an enemy cut its lines of com munication with food supplies ? Where would an enemy first attack and invade tills country if not the South, where food supplies might bo cut oft ? What lias actually happened in the South with war thousands of miles away? The cotton market largely de stroyed; prices of cotton ruinous; the Soutli with paralyzed purchasing pow er; food prices soaring; buying power falling; to buy food a necessity. Cer tainly a gloomy predicament, yet one from which it is extricating itself with far less of calamity than might he expected, chiefly because of the sympathetic assistance of the more fortunate people of the South and of the nation as a whole. Wlxat is the lesson to be learned from this terrific blow? Certainly not Some Steps Georgia Farmers Should Take to Get Into Live Stock Business Pres. Andrew M. Soule, Georgia State College of Agriculture It, is letter for a community to spe cialize on a given breed of animals ho that carload shipments to market will be of uniform types of animals ans, therefore, command the best prices. With this point in view, concerted action should he taken by a commun ity to obtain the desired breed. By so doing the cost will be reduced to a minimum. More frequently than not. one can find no one person in each community who is able or willing to put up the money to purchase a pure bred sire. But it is easier and more practical to get a group of farmers to enter into the expense. This should apply not only to one kind of live stock but to all lines. In marketing the live stock those who co-operated in breeding a given type of animal should co-operate in marketing. The more animals that are marketed at a time, the better the shipping facilities and, therefore, low er cost. Where there is union of ship pers, there will be strength in deal ing with every marketing problem. In pork production, especially in the southern part of the state, there is need of co-operative enterprise in cold storage and curing of meats to get the most revenue out of the business for the farmer, especially where city Says The Albany Herald: “Some of our all-cotton farmers who have been in the business for many years are going to dem onstrate to the world next year that a man is never too old to learn. ” STOMACH TROUBLE FOR FIVE YEARS Majority of Friends Thought Mr. . Hughes Would Die, But One Helped Him to Recovery. Pomeroyton, Ky.—ln interesting ad vices from this place, Mr. A. J. Hughes writes as follows: “I was down with stomach trouble for five (5) years, and would have sick headache so bad, at times, that I thought surely I would die. I tried different treatments, but they did not seem to do me any good. } got so bad, I could not eat or sleep, and all my friends, except one, thought I would die. He advised me to try Thedford’s Black-Draught, and quit dependence upon charity, magnificent as that has been, but rather the les son of self-respecting independence which can be obtained only by follow ing the example of Europe in creating home supplies as far as possible, for every need and every emergency; to learn to raise more and buy less; to give consideration first to food and to lint afterwards. With every agency in its power, the College of Agriculture is trying to co operate with, demonstrate, teach and preach to farmers the diversification of crops. It is busy with farm demon stration agents, boys’ corn clubs, girls’ canning clubs, pig clubs, poultry clubs, farmers’ institutes, extension schools, field agents working in ani mal husbandry, in poultry and in ce real crops; with exhibitions at fairs, bulletins, correspondence and in every other way possible, in teaching, urg ing and helping the farmers of Geor gia to get into other lines of agri culture than merely growing cotton. Those who want practical informa tion about getting started into other agricultural work than they have been pursuing, are welcomed to write the College, or better still, take a short course. ice plants are not in easy reach and offer service at reasonable cost. To this end the services of a government export have been obtained for design ing a practical and economical plant, announcement of which will be made later. Co-operation, of course, is needful In eradicating ticks, in suppressing animal diseases of various kinds. One of the greatest needs of the live stock industry in Georgia is a competent veterinarian in at least ev ery county in the state. This is the aim of the State College of Agricul ture and its purpose in asking the legislature for an appropriation by which a veterinary degree course can be offered at the College. Aside from these main considera tions, the farmers of Georgia must learn what crops can be most econom ically grown in each community, what combination of rations lie must feed, what quantitites and in what forms. The average cotton farmer has much to learn in this respect, and there are few farmers of any class who would not profit from the latest and most practical information of the kind that can be carried to them by the men sent out in the extension-demonstra tion work of the College, or in insti tutes conducted by the College, or at the short course at the College See our ad. in this paper.

I have now been taking Black-Draught tor three months, and it has cured me— haven’t had those awful sick headaches since I began using it. I am so thankful for what Black- Draught has done for me.” Thedford’s Black-Draught has been found a very valuable medicine for de rangements of the stomach and liver. It is composed of pure, vegetable herbs, contains no dangerous ingredients, and acts gently, yet surely. It can be freely used by young and old, and should be kept in every family chest.
