. . . NOTICE . . •
WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO BUY YOUR MEAL?
The Food Administration has requested us, before selling meal to outside
manufacturers, that we give preference to local consumers, but, of course, this
does not mean that we shall carry meal in our inventory for local consumers
to take out at their pleasure. On account of labor we must move our meal as
produced.
Last seoson you used every pound of meal we produced and we had to buy
FOUR HUNDRED TONS IN THE SPRING for our fer
tilizer business. Several of our customers were interested a few days ago, want
ing to buy their requirements, but since prices have been stabilized, a good
many have told me there is no inducement to buy now, as they can get later
at the same price. Asa matter of fadt, you have no assurance that you will be
able to buy at all. Ammoniates are going to be scarce, fertilizer factories are
clamoring for meal and we can sell our entire output and ship as produced.
This time last season we had in &ock 60 per cent of our requirements of Soda and were unable to get any
more. I expect you recall some of your experiences in this line. I understand it is going to be almost impossible
to get Tankage or Blood.
This is the proposition: “You can buy your meal now at $53.00 when, if the meal has to be shipped back,
it will coSt you $57.00 or more.

THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARCUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY. OCTOBER 11, 1918
The larger part of this loss is inex
cusable, because of the fact that the
disease can be very largely eliminated
by treating the seed with formalde
hyde before planting.
Formaldehyde is comparatively in
expensive and can be had from almost
any drug store. Use a pint of it to
40 gallons of water, or if only a small
amount of seed is to be treated, put
two tablespoonfuls in two and one
half gallons of water. Wet the grain
thoroughly. This ca nbe done with
comparative ease by spreading the
grain out in thin layers on a floor and
sprinkling itl \nith the solution. Stir
the grain during the sprinkling so as
to be certain to moisten every seed.
As soon as the sprinkling is complet
ed rake tihe grain up in piles and cov
er, using sack or other material with
which the smutty grain has not come
in contact. Allow the seed to remain
covered for two hours, then plant as
soon as possible. The treatment should
not be given until just before one is
ready to plant.—L. A. Niven, in The
Progressive Farmer.

Largest Tubers of Season Grown by
Mr. J. H. Smith
