EODD IN THE SUITE
(By Andrew M. Soule.)
Last year the adult demonstrators
raised 15,105 acres of corn with an
average yield of 40.1 bushels per acre;
6,396 acres of cotton with an average
yield of 1,315 pounds of seed cotton
per acre; 7,712 acres of oats with an
average yield of 52 bushels per acre.
Compare these figures With the aver
age for the state and see the influence
for agricultural betterment which has
been conferred on these farmers
through the work of the county agent.
In addition the agents were respons
ible for the seeding under approved
methods of 2,639 acres of clover, 4,013
acres of wheat, 1,085 acres of peanuts
661 acres of rye. 3,040 acre sos cow
peas, 125 acres of vetch, 739 acres of
say and velvet beans and 750 acres of
hay crops.
The agents also aided in the estab
-I’shment of 10,402 acres of pasture
land, 10,943 gardens, in the prepera
tion of 62,200 tons of fertilizer, and
the pruning and spraying of 4,115
acres or orchards. They have encour
aged the stumping of 50,920 acres of
land, the terracing of 2,350 acres, and
the drainage of 600 more. They are
also largely responsible for the pur
chase of $500,000 worth of improvel
machinery.
Through their efforts 1,569 purebred
cattle, principally of the beef breeds,
have been brought into the state. Ad
■ vice has been given relative to the
i purchase, feeding and management, of
I
[thousands of beef and dairy cattle and
hogs. At least 50,000 hogs have been
inoculated with protective serum,
thus eeffctively contrilling the spread
of swine plague, and encouraging the
development of this industry on a
basis somewhat commensurate with
Georgia’s needs. One hundred and
twenty-eight modern farm buildings
have been erected through their influ
ence, as well as 262 silos and 619 dip
ping vats. Waterworks and lighting
systems have been intsalled in 350
homes and telephone conections plac
ed in 300 more.
Georgia farmers have been organ
ized in 76 local cooperative clubs, 16
county or school fairs promoted and
255 special meetings held. The agents
have made over 1,100 visits to the
schools and met personally 49,000
teachers, parents and pupils, They
traveled in their own conveyances
335,000 miles.
REFINING VEGETABLE
OILS INCREASE VALUE
I>» 1—
Dr. Charles Basgerville, professor
of chemistry in the College of the City
of New York, a North Carolinian, call
ed some years ago from his home state
Jo his present position has recently
issued a pamphlet on "Refining Vegeta
ble and Animal Oils,” which closes
with a summary of the process which
he has worked out for preparing nat
ural oil, with the following statement
of the matter:
1. The actual refined oil obtained is
from 1 to 10 per cent, more than now
secured. Placed at a low average of
3 per cent., the process will save the
cottonseed oil industry in this country
over $2,000,000 a year when prices are
normal. The soja-bean oil industry,!
just developing in this country, can ;
save 5 per cent. The peanut oil in
dustry can save 6 per cent. The coco
auut oil industry can save from 3 ta
5 per cent.
2. The process takes from one
tenth to one-third the time now neces
sary. Hence the capacity of the re
finery is increased. This is of great
importance during the rush season'
in fact, its introduction will inecon
omic efficiency perform the same role
the tungsten filament lamp has played
whereby the light production of a
power station has been tripled.
3. The process gives a daily double
check on the efficiency of the refinery.
4. The process is applicable to all
grades of edible oils, which is not true
with the common precedure.
5. Little new machinery is needed.

who was hurt seriously a oay or two
ago in Ohio, when a sulky he was rid

known by the older Americus citizens.
Years ago when Americus had her
first fair. Mr. Gears was here with a
fine lot of trotting horses, and was
one of the fastest horsemen at the fair
grounds. He had fast horses that
would win, and was at all the fairs in
this section of the country. He has
lots of friends here that regret t>
I hear of his accident and trust that he
may get over it.

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
TIMELY PRECAUTIONS
MAY SAMUR CHILD
Anent the epidemic of infantile par
alysis that his destroyed so many
young lives in New York City, a few
cases of which have been reported in
some of our Southern cities, we print
herewith some suggestions for pro
tecting the health of the children of
this city against infantile paralysis,
which come from the board of health
of the city of New York, and have
been given endorsement of local au
thorities in other cities.
There are a few cases in Atlanta
Dr. J. P. Kennedy, health officer of
that city in commenting on the situa
tion, asserted that there is no need
for fear on the part of the people. He
does not believe there will be an epi
demic here, but says that there are al
ways a few cases during the year.
The suggestions follow
Keep your children clean.
Wash the nose and throat frequent
ly with a solution of one teaspoonful
of salt to a quart of water.
Give each child its own pocket
handkerchief.
Keep all foods covered and away
from flies.
Don’t buy fresh vegetables from dir
ty-handed peddlers.
Don’t let rubbish or garbage col
lect in the house or yard.
See a doctor, if your child has sum
mer complaint, or is ailing otherwise.
Keep your child off the street as
much as possible and be sure that
they never go into a house where the
department of health has posted an
infantile paralysis notice.
Know whom your child is playing
with and be sure that there is no in
fantile paralysis case in the families'
of his playfellows.
Don't have children’s parties.
Wash your own hands and face and
those of your children frequently.
Remember, the health department,
its doctors, nurses and inspectors are
your friends. Tell them all you know
and do as they say.
Call the doctor if your child is even
slightly ill; particularly if it com
plains of stomach trouble, fever, cold
in the head or stiffness of the neck,
legs or arms. These are symptoms of
infantile paralysis.
Remember, there is no proprietary
remedy for infantile paralysis.

Help us to HOLD DOWN —
Tire Prices
I♦ ♦ ♦
I and GASOLENE, “make the Wheels po round!”
I A Car in the Garage COSTS as much as a
T 7 JL but it pays no dividends, on the Investment, so long as it STAYS in
'■ the Garage.
The VALLE of the Car, —to its Owner, —narrows down, in the ultimate,
to the precise number of Hours he USES that Car, yearly.
If a $2,000 Car be owned for, say’, 4 years (then sold for $600.) there has
been $1,400 of Car-Value absorbed by the Owner,—equal to, say, $350. per year.
If then, that Car be USED 913 Hours in the year, it would cost him but 38
CENTS per Hour, for Car-Use.
But, —if he used it only HALF that number of Hours, yearly, the Car would
cost him 100% MORE for every Hour he used it.
How MUCH he uses it will depend,—to a considerable extent, —upon the
PRICE of TIRES and GASOLENE.
_ This was one of the reasons why we (Jan. 31st, 1915) inaugurated the Goodrich ,
FAIR-LIST” Propaganda against High-prices, and Padded-Price-Lists, on Tires.
It is a further reason why we NOW keep our own Goodrich Prices DOWN ,
to the very moderate “Fair-List” figures here quoted.
BETTER Fabric Tires are NOT made, and cannot be made, —at ANY
price,—thanare produced by The B. F. Goodrich Co.
A 15%, to 50%. higher price could well be justified for these
same Tires, by fair comparison with other Tires sold at 15% to 50% higher prices.
Will you help your own interests (present and future), by further expanding
the Sale of that Tire which demonstrates its Intention, through LOWERING the
Cost of its Tires to you, with every INCREASE in its Volume?
Wjil you thus endorse, and support, the Goodrich Policy which automatic
ally PREVENTS OTHER Makers from forcing UP the Market on Tires?
Compare Goodrich Fair-List prices, here quoted.
Bear in mind that NO Fabric Tires,—at ANY price,—are “better,”—no
House more Fair, and LIBERAL, on proper Adjustments.
