U. S. GATHERING
DATA FOR PEACE
Compilation of Data, HowJ
ever, no Indication
of Terms.
Washington, Sept. 31. —The
collection of data on peace, now
being made for President Wilson
by his close friend and adviser,
Colonel E. M. House, it was ex
plained at the state department
today, does not indicate that the
United States is looking forward
to an early peace. Neither does
the government plan to partici
pate in the readjustments of
boundaries or political affairs in
Europe when peace is declared.
The interests of the United
States, it was reiterated, con
tinues to have no direct connec
tion with the war aims of the en
tente allies, and remain un
changed.
Until recently no systematic
effort has been made to collect
the data that it would be advis
able to have at a peace confer
ence and it was for that purpose
that the president requested Col
onel House to give his services to
the state department.
It was emphatically denied that
the government authorized the
work because faith had been
placed in any of the many reports
that peace might come soon or
that his appointment had any
thing to do with any of the vari
ous efforts made to bring about a
peace conference.

U. S. Offers Reward
For all Deserters.
“No. 8215. A reward of SSO
is payable for the delivery at the'
nearest army camp or post of a
deserter. This reward is in full
satisfaction of all expenses in
curred in said delivery. A per
son who fails to report to his Lo
. cal Board for military service at
the time specified in his order to
report is a deserter. A person
who fails to report for military
service to the Adjutant General
of the State by the date specified
in the order of the Adjutant Gen
eral to said persons is a deserter.
It is highly desirable from every
standpoint that an effort now be
made to round up all persons who
are delinquent in reporting fcr
military service. It is thought
that if the fact of reward is giv
en the widest publicity we shall
have a great force of police offi
cers and even of individuals in-v
terested in bringing such delin
quents under military contro'.
If, after such persons are brought
to a military authority, it appears
to the military authority that
their delinquency is not wilful,
they will be forwarded to a mo
bilization camp and their Local
Board will be given credit. If it
appears that the delinquency was
wilful, they will be prosecuted
before a court martial as de
serters. In either case the re
ward is payable.

Crowder.”

DETERMINING FACTORS
IN BEEF PRODUCTION
Must Be Considered By Farmer Who
Expects To Raise Or To Finish
Beef Cattle
In order to make a fair margin
of profit the farmer, according to Dr.
Soule of the Stale College of Agricul
ture, should ascertain whether he has
on hand or can obtain ai a reasonable
cost the type and class of cattle from
which he may expect to make a pro
fit; he must either have or be will
ing to supply himself with such
equipment as is necessary; he must
take into consideration the question
of foodstuffs, both concentrates and
roughage; and finally he must have
a market where he can easily dispose
of his cattle after he has finished
them.
Animals with a bloeky conforma
tion and those character
istics which distinguish the beef type
may be depended upon, if properly
fed and handled, to make good gains
and a profit for ihe owner. Animals
with a dairy conformation have nc
natural covering of Hesh and, though
they may make fairly good gains,
much of the fat will be found around
the intestines rather than in the re
gion of the mosi valuable cuts.
We are prone to believe that with
our mild climate shelters are not ne
cessary, but statistics show that in
the south 25 cattle out of every thou
sand die from exposure, while in the
northern states with their rigorous
winters only 3.6 cattle die to the
thousand. In Georgia last year sl,-
045,000 worth of cattle were lost
through exposure and disease and the
total for the fifteen southern states
runs between 75 and 100 million dol
lars annually. There need not be a
costly building but a cheap shelter
with a leanto roof and open on the
souih side can easily be provided.
Experienced feeders consider a silo
as almost absolutely necessary for
the economical feeding of live stock
during the winter months. Land that
has formerly been planted to cotton
may be devoted to oats or a mixture
of oats, crimson clover and vetch for
hay. Following this the ground should
pioduce a second crop, cowpea hay,
and the oat land may make the corn
for the silo. Those who prefer may
use sorghum or kaiir corn for the silo
instead of field corn. There should
be an abundance of tame pastures,
such as Bermuda, burr clover, and
Japan clover. Where lime is widely
used, alfalfa can be grown success
fully in all parts of the souih. It is
needless to say that cotton seed meal
will be the main concentrate supple
mented with corn or oats, when
necessary.
In order to finish cattle with any
degree of satisfaction they should he
fed from 90 to 150 days. For the lOtiO
pound animal keep an abundance of
mixed hay in the feeding rack at
all times; feed daily 30 to 40 pounds
of silage, 4 to 6 pounds of cotton seed
meal, and 5 to 7 pounds of shelled
corn.
WINTER COVER DROPS
SWELL FRUIT RETURNS
Prevent Washing of Land and De
crease Fertilizer Bill
One of the most important prac
tices in orchard management Is the
growing of a cover crop under the
trees during the winter. This cover
crop helps to cut down the nitrogen bill
if winter growing legumes are used;
adds organic matter to the soil; and
prevents washing in our hilly sec
tions, say 8 Prof. McHatton of the
Georgia State College.
If we can do so, it will be well to have
hairy vetch as part of this cover crop.
To go along with the vetch we should
have either oats, rye or wheat. It
takes about a bushel of grain seed
and twenty pounds of hairy vetch to
sow an acre. Where used, the hairy
vetch seed should be inoculated be
fore planting.
In North Georgia the cover crop
should be sown about the last of
September to the first of October. In
Central Georgia it should be sown by
the 15th of October. In South Geor
gia it may be sown as iate as tbe
last of October or first of November,
Where orchards are on rolling land,
it is well to sow this cover crop with
an open-furrow drill. The open fur
rows not only protect the grain, but
are a great help in keeping the land
from washing until the young grain
can become well established. The
value of a cover crop in an orchard
cannot be estimated, as we have no
way of knowing the monetary value
of organic matter in the land. We
know, however, it grea'ly improves J
the soil and w-111 help us to make a
orjp of good fruit the following sea-,
son.
If the above mentioned seed cannot 1
be obtained for sowing the cover
crop, it would be a good plan to sow
something under the trees, turnips,
rape, or anything tha- will grow
through the winter, so that when
plowing time comes in the spring
there will be something to turn j
under. '

That is the t -si we want you to apply

p A Maxwell truck will cover 100 miles

covered by lw<s teams arid two drivers.
It will do this at an operating cost of
less than that of one team of horses.
Moreover, it is of a size and capacity p
adapted to the n ;eds of almost every g
