THE JACKSON PROGRESS -ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 1918
BIG WHEAT CROP IN
GEORGIA PREDICTED
YIELD OF 10,000,000 BUSHELS IS
NEEDED TO SUPPLY DEMANDS
OF PEOPLE OF GEORGIA—TO
GET GOOD PRICES FOR WHEAT
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 15.—From
some sections reports have reached
the Georgia department of agricul
ture of a purpose to plant wheat this
fall. But these are nothing like in
proportion to what should be done
to meet the necessities of the situ
ation. The demand for food pro
ducts this fall and especially for
wheat and other grains, is going to
be larger than ever; and unless Geor
gia makes her own supplies the peo-
pie of this state may have difficulty
in petting what they will need.
If every farmer in Georgia will
plant at least two acres of wheat to
each plow, it will give us approxi
mately 10,000,000 bushels. an
amount which will easily be absorb
ed at the prevailing good price. In
planting wheat the department urg
es each farmer to select his best
acres and to begin as soon as the
crops are off the land to prepare the
ground thoroughly in order that he
may get a full yield and a good crop.

Mother! You child isn’t naturally
cross and peevish. See if tongue is
coated;; this is a sure sign its little

sing at once.
When listless, pale, feverish, full
of cold, breath bad, throat sore,

Nothing equals “California Syrup

have a well and playful child again.
All children love his harmless, delic
ious “fruit laxative,” and it never
fails to effect a good “inside” cleans

Keep it handy in your home. A

tomorrow, but get he genuine. Ask
ask your druggist for a bottle
“California Syrup of Figs,” then look
and see that it is made by the “Cali

GROWING HOGS
For a hog to be profitable he must
be kept growing from birth to mark
eting age. He cannot be profitable
unless he is healthy. He can always
be in a profit-producing condition if
he is fed B. A. Thomas’ Hog Powder.
We positively tell you that this rem
edy prevents cholera, removes worms
and cures thumps. If the powder does
not make good we will.

WRITES FROM OVERSEAS
Mr. J. J. Hodges has reca’ved the
following letter from his son, who is
somewhere in France: *
July 7, 1918.
Dear Father: Just a few lines to
let you know that I am well and en-
joying life. Truly hope these few
lines will find you well and enjoying
the best of health. Father, I often
think of you and wonder why you
do not write. I hope it is not because
you do not approve of war. ‘ But T
hope that I am doing the right thing
to bring or help to bring peace to
this old world once more. Ah father,
you do not know as I do, for I have
seen with my own eyes vuhat a de>-
struction it would have been if we
had not entered this great war that
it might be a safe place to live in.
And we are gradually winning day
by day and climbing to the greatest
victory the world has ever known,
and now can you say that you appre
ciate me being in this great strug
gle for liberty, amd liberty we will
have after it is over.
Dear father, I hope you remember
me in your prayers. I haven’t much
time to think, for these are the bus
iest days of my life, as shot and shelll
are flying all around me. It makes
me remember, father, what one has
taught me in my” boyhood days, to
serve one Master and one God. It
bringjs teas in my eyes to think how*.
I have thrown y life away and have
I have thrown my life away and have
Now, you must remember me and
don’t forget to write often and give
my best regards to all. As it is about
church time I will close, hoping you
the very best of health and love to all
