Cabbage Possesses High
Nutritive Value For Hogs
Don’t waste or burn your garbage.
It is valuable for many purposes, bujt
may be used to best advantage as feed
for hogs. One ton of garbage, if used
as a feed for hogs, will produce one
hundred pounds of good, firm, first
quality pork.
One ton of garbage, also, will pro
duce enough glycerine for the explo
i/Vve charge of fourteen 75-millimeter
Shells; will provide enough “fatty
acids” to manufacture one hundred 12-
ounce cakes of soap; and will furnish
enough fertilizer to grow eight bushels
of wheat.
Refund Ordered On Cotton Seed
Under an order issued by Dr. A. M.
Soule, federal food administrator, to
all local administrators and all buyers
of cotton seed in Georgia, notice is
given that refunds are to be made
to farmers in this state in cases where
too great deductions were made by
buyers in the purchase of cotton seed,
under certain conditions, and empha
sis is laid on the policy that all cot
ton seed should be paid for at full
value, with a warning to buyers
against taking any advantage of open
ings to buy seed below their value.
The order is as follows:
“The weather conditions of last sea
son resulted in the production of some
damaged seed, or seed producing less
than the official yields. These seed
were purchased at less than the stabil
ized price.
“It is now brought to our attention
that in a number of instances the de
ductions or dockage has been exces
sive. We have found it necessary in
certain cases to order refund of such
amounts as were deducted in excess of
the proper value of the seed.
"We would suggest that all buyers
who found it necessary to make deduc
tions during the past season shall now
review such deductions and satisfy
themselves that they were fair as
based upon the experience of working
the seed. If, upon investigation, it is
found that an injustice has been done,
we urge that a voluntary refund be
made to the shipper in advance of any
action that may be taken by the food
administration.
"We are hereby instructing buyers
and sellers to keep complete records of
any future transactions in which a de-

Include full information justifying

“We wish to emphasize the principle
that all cotton seed should be paid for

Serious Sugar Losses
The submarine depredations off the
Atlantic coast early in June resulted
in the loss of 13,854 tons of sugar from
Cuba and Porto Rico. This represents
nearly one-fifth of the total weekly
consumption of sugar in the United
States, and is more than the recent
total sugar allowance of Great Britain
for jam making this year.
Although the cargoes were fully cov
ered by insurance the loss of the sugar
emphasizes the need for additional
conservation of this important com
modity.
United States
Exports of Oats
The extent to which the United
States is now supplying the Allies with
wheat substitutes is shown by a sum
mary of oat and corn exports an-
nounced by the United States Food
Administration. More than 101,000,-
000 bushels of oats and oatmeal were
exported by this country from July 1,
1017, to April 30, 1918, and of this
amount more than 93,000,000 bushels
were sent the European Allies.
Exports of corn and corn meal for
the same period were more than 39,-
000,000 bushels, of which more than
27,000,000 tushels were for the Allies.
More Rigid Canadian Regulations
New Canadian food regulations now
in effect limit the amount of fats and
sugar which may be used in the man
ufacture of pastry, confectionery and
ice cream. The manufacture of some
of these products is entirely prohibit
ed and the sugar consumption of candy
manufacturers is limited to one-half
the monthly average used by them laat
yer.
TEACHERS NEEDED FOR
VDCATIDNALEDRCATION
Offers Possibilities For Real
Leadership And Service.
With the rapid development of vo
cational education comes anew and
striking demand for teachers. Our
colleges of agriculture all over the
country have been overworked for the
past ten years in attempting to meet
the demand for trained farmers, re
search workers, college and extension
teachers. Little or no attention has
been given to the preparation of teach-
ers in the field of secondary agricul
ture. The demands, therefore, in this
important field of educational work can
not now be met. Trained teachers are
not to be had. The men who drafted
the “Smith-Hughes Bill” realized this
fact and made provisions for the train
ing of this type of teacher.
The teacher training work in voca
tional agriculture is being provided for
at the Georgia State Agricultural Col
lege. A division of Agricultural Edu
cation has been established, and is now
offering regular courses to those pre
paring to enter this field of work.
These courses are open to Agricultural
College students or graduates It U
evident that, on account of the mili
tary call, some speci'al means of meet
ing the demands in this work wil
to be resorted to. Special courses will
be offered during the summer session
this year to both regular agricultural
college students and to those who axe
now in this work or who are trying
prove an attractive field
In which to work for those who know
ind are in sympathy with country life.

FOR CONGRESS
TO THE VOTERS OF THE SIXTH
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OF
GEORGIA:
I am a candidate for the Sixty-
Sixth Congress, to succeed myself,
subject to such rules and regulations
as may be adopted by the Executive
Committee.
I have endeavored at all times to
look after every interest of my con
stituents, and to represent them to
the best of my ability.
Since being in Congress, I have
been kept in Washington almost con
tinuously, and have not had the op
portuniy and pleasure of visiting my
constituents, as I would have under
other circumstances, but I felt it my
duty to remain at my post in these
perilous times, and render what as
sistance I could in successfully pros-
ecuting the war.
If it is the will of the voters of the
Sixth District that I be returned to
Congress, I shall do all I can by word
and act, to bring this awful war to a
speedy and vicorious termination,
and then to devote myself with all the
energy I have to the passage of such
legislation as will tend to the up
building of our government, and if
possible, establish a lasting peace
among the nations of the earth, so
that freedom and liberty may be the
portion of mankind everywhere.
Thanking my constituents for past
favors, and hoping my candidacy may
meet with your approval, I am
Sincerely,
J. W. WISE.

CANTEEN SERVICE FOR
SAMMIES IN FRANCE
Red Cross To Serve Boye In The Front
Line Trenches
The American Red Cross has Just
arranged to establish with the Ameri
can troops In France a front line can
teen service similar to that through
whioh they have served more than
a million poilus with hot drinks during
the last six months, according to a
cable Just received by the War Coun
cil from Major James H. Perkins, Red
Cross Commissioner to France.
This will consist of rolling canteens
stationed close behind the front line
tranches. There are now fifteen of
these operating behind the French
lines, from which fifty or more large
receptacles of hot drinks are sent for
ward daily, usually In the small hours
of the morning. These drinks are
served free to the men going on or
comihg off duty.
Thie service has proven of such
value to the French that the Ameri
can army has asked the Red Cross to
have this service directly In touch
with the medical relief stations near
est the front. The work Is often done
under heavy shell firs and requires
men of great bravery and sympathy.
The American army officers are man
ifesting a keen Interest In having this
service at the disposal of the American
troops and have asked the Red Cross
to enlist a substantial number of men
of the highest caliber to undertake
this work. It will be performed at the
point nearest the firing line at which
civilians are permitted.
