LET THERE BE LIGHT

Light is essential to our well-being
Direct sunlight Is necessary to prop

It is a preventive of the disease
known as "Rickets.”
The baby should be exposed to the
direct rays of the sun every day for
a period of time. The essential rays
of light that are necessary for proper
growth and development are filtered
out by window glass. It is. therefore,
imperative to have the sun shine di
rectly on the child’s body. Artificial
sunshine is obtainable by electricity,
and can be used as a substitute, it
Is only a substitute, as nothing equals
nature. All growing children should
have the benefit of outdoor sunshine.
In Georgia this, owing to our mild
and salubrious climate, can be had
almost every day in the year.
While the child is getting the nec
essary sunshine, it is also getting a
good supply of fresh air. another es

Two-fifths of our enormous wheat
crop is annually left on the farm to
be fed to farm animals, according to
the findings of the Sears-Roebuck
Agricultural Foundation. In addition,
28% of the wheat that is shipped off
or 17% of the total wheat crop comes
back to the farm as mill feeds, where
it is made into hunjan food in the
form of meat.
Mill feeds are a valuable and im
portant feed item, especially in the
dairy section. Cattle consume on an
average 44.2% of all mill feeds. These
are rich in protein and used in con
nection with corn and tankage make
a balanced hog ration. Swine are the
next greatest “consumer of mill feeds,
with 41.5%. Besides, 5.6%) goes to
horses, 5% to poultry and 3.7% to
sheep.

American thumbs have always been

crop has been exported to Europe
and the bulk of the remainder fed to
farm animals, according to a survey
by the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural
Foundation. This year, however, a'
crop of 42,000,000 bushels is expected
and less titan usual will be sent to
Europe as their crops will also be
fairly large. This fact, coupled with
