Resourceful Vocabulary.
“The river Parana." declares the
prospectus of a real estate agent in
Parana. Brazil, “is the most watery
| in the state, one of the most extended
' in the world, it is navigable until to
i this state for ships of great profound
ness; it is also sufficiently fishful.’’
This same cheerful chap it is who
further asseverates that “the veget*
ble reign is excessfully represented tn
resinous, ally and gummaua plants."
Crop Acreage For
One-Horse Farm
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia
State College of Agriculture.
Field tmd Food Crops.
On the average one-horse farm in
the South there, should be planted in
1917:
5 acres in corn and velvet beans. 1
( 5 acres in cowpeas for hay, to
be followed by winter oats.
5 acres in cotton.
5 acres in peanuts to be crushed
for oil or grazed down by hogs. I
1% acres in sweet potatoes to be
followed by winter cover crops.
1% acres in alfalfa or crimson clo
ver, cowpeas or soy beans. ,
1 acre in rape, oats, vetch, cow
peas or soy beans.
1 acre in truck crops followed
by- hay or grazing crops for hogs.
10 acres should be set aside for
pasturage for cows and hogs.
% acre in orchards.
% acre in garden.
Total cultivated land, 26 acres. ■
Animals Which Should Be Maintained.
1 good horse or mule (work
stock). |
2 milk cows.
1 calf.
1 yearling (slaughter for meat).
2 brood sows.
50 hens.
57—Total.
These should be maintained on ev
ery one-horse farm in order that the
family may be properly supplied with '
the necessary milk, butter, meat, '
chickens and eggs.
This plan should be adjusted or mod- ]
ified by the proper committees having
the food supplies in charge in the re- ,
spective states to meet local condi
tions.
Wci ’Js Food Supply Deficient
J. P. Campbell, Dir. of Ext., State
Col. Os Agri., Athens, Ga. L
I,
The following statement by David (
Lubin, American Representative to ,
the International Institute of Agricul- ,
ture, is of vital concern to the Ameri- [
can people, and Georgia farmers I
should do their share to relieve the !
tense sitnation. ; '
Associated Press Dispatch.
! i
Rome via Paris, April 5. I
i
"For the first time in many years
there exists a deficit in the supply of (
corn, wheat, rye, barley and oats, esti- j
mated at a total of 130,000,01)0 bushels (
less than the normal requirements
for countries open to trade. The
situation is worse than was expected 1
last October.’’
Who is going to feed Georgia this )
year?
The West has been feeding the j
State to the extent of about $85,000,-1
000 per year.
Congress has declared that a state '
of war exists with Germany. This ?
calls for an, army of a half million [
to a million men who must be fed.
The Western supply which has been
coming to Georgia will necessarily be
diverted to feed our army as well as
the army of the Allies I
The following statement by Asst.
Secretary Vrooman of the United
States Department of Agriculture be
fore the Cattlemen’s Association in
Atlanta, Georgia, April 5, is emphatic: j
“The most important question con
fronting us is this: Feeding our ci
vilian population, our army and navy
and the armies of our allied powers.
Unless the South grows food crops in
abundance,—in greater quantities
than this section has grown at any }
time in its history, the South —like
Germany,—faces starvation.”
It may be a little late —but’ not too 1
late —for the farmerg to consider se
riously more crops for food and feed
stuffs.
The boys and girls should be en
couraged to join corn, pig, canning
poultry and other agricultural clubs.
Conserving products raised, es
pecially by canning and preserving
perishable fruits and vegetables.
Save the breeding stock, as these
will be at a premium, not only during
the interval of the war, but immedi
j ately afterwards.
I Help your neighbors to secure
planting seeds and fertilizers.
Farmers should undertake to feed.!
not only themselves, but their city
neighbors. City folks should buy the
local farmers’ products in preference 1
to imports.
This is a Patriotic duty as well as i
a necessity.
We have the authentic information
from the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture, that with the western supplies
diverted, there is a possibility of
Georgia suffering from hunger be
fore Christmas.
Unless w r e meet the emergency, 1
Georgia will be a weakness to the na
tion in this w’ar. j
It is also pointed out by President
Soule that it may be impossible dur
ing the progress of the war to secure
the transportation of cotton to the j
eastern markets. Consequently, the ■
United States could manufacture only '
about seven millions bales and the
price of cotton would likely drop to
a low rate.
Call on the county agent when he
can be of service to you in suggest
ing wha’. when and how to plant
many garden and field crops.

„ "The Price She Paid”
. A Splendid Picturization of the Great American Novel by David Graham Phillips
Presenting This Tremendously Popular Star in Her Supreme Achievement
STAR SPANGLED BANNER
NOT PLAYED SO OFTEN NOH’
ATLANTA, Ga., June 4.—At the
ui gent request of a long suffering pub
lic the motion picture theatres of
■ Atlanta are now kindly refraining from
playing the Star Spangled Banner ev-
I ei y time an actor waves the flag on
the screen, thus relieving the audience
of the awkward necessity of getting to
their feet about a dozen times in the
course of a single performance.
Os course it was no lack of patrotism
that prompted the protests against the
Star Spangled Banner being worked
over-time. It was simply a case of sei ’
[defense. The archestra would strike
; up the national anthem and the audi
ence would rise, and then the orchestra
would suddenly break off the tune and
the audience would sit down. Tliis
rising and sitting would occur repeat
edly in the run of every film. It gut to
be a tracesty on patriotism and a reg
ular nuisance besides.
i The Star Spangled Banner is still
played, but it’s played on more ap
' propriate occasions, such as rallies to
promote the sale of Liberty Bonds.
Considerate Statesman.
“Os course you have your own ideas
about what the government ought to
do in a crisis.” “Yes. But I’m not
saying anything. Maybe the govern
ment will have to act so promptly
there won't be time to listen to all the
speeches I could make on the sub
ject.”—Washington Star.
Daily Thought.
i Certainly, in our little sphere, it is
: not the most active people to whom
we owe the most. ... It is the--
lives like the stars, which simply pour
down on us the calm light of their
bright and faithful being, up to which
we look, and out of which we gather
i the deepest calm and courage.—
Brooks.
Vicarious.
Busy Business Man (after standing
for a quarter of an hour at the tele
phone, cautiously behind his hand to
his clerk) —“Here you, William, take
the receiver for a while. My wife’s
got a lot to say to me still. You don’t
have to answer anything. Only when
ever she says ‘Are you still there, Hen
ry?’ you say very nicely, ‘Certainly,
my dear Jane ’ ”
Difference In Vinegar.
What a difference in table vinegars!
Some have a coarse acidity that is
most pronounced. And for just a bit
■ more than you usually pay you will
I find them of unusual mellowness and
of much greater strength than the
ordinary vinegar. It. is surprising
, what a difference a really good vine
- gar makes in a salad dressing or for
! pickling.
Familiar Remark.
Our second child had red hair, and
whenever we took him out someone
would remark about it. When the
baby was two years old we were giv
. ing a dinner party and while waiting
' for the guests to arrive I was putting
on the last touches and brushed the
baby’s hair He looked up at me and
1 said: "I pose de lady will say,-’Wher’
did your baby det his red hair?’ ”—Ex
change.
j
j Labor Saved.
i If mother haa several small boys
! this plan is a good time saver. When
making trousers insert loops of round
white cord such as is used in corsets,
i instead of working buttonholes in
. waistbands, and leave the facing wide
enough to turn back; insert the loops
and stitch down with the extra width.
This serves for buttonholes and takes
much less tune.

Time’s Changes.
Poor old Cato meant well no doubt,
but he was horribly ignorant of ths
proprieties, having advised “that the
farm buildings be well constructed,
that you should have ample oil cellars
and wine vats, and a good supply ol
casks so that you can wait for high
prices, something that will redound to
your honor, your profit and your self
respect.” He had Hoboken in mind,
but we Americans do our farming in
.North Dakota and Kansas, where the
vat flourisheth not nor peepeth the
cask above the lowly ground.—Spring

First Real Flying Machine.
The flying machine (that is, the
heavier-than-air machine) that first
bore men through the air successfully
was an American, and not a German
machine. The trick was pulled off by
the Wright brothers, Orville and Wil
bur. along the North Carolina coast,
on December 17, 1903.
