CONSERVATION CORRECT IDEA Eat More Cornbread And Save Wheat for the Allies. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 8 —The fol lowing food conservation items, from the world 'generally, and of interest to the people of the Stale have been collected by Dr. A. M. Soule, Federal Food Ad ministrator for Georgia: When ordering salt Georgia dealers should bear in mind the car shortage and arrange orders for full car-capacity shipments. Short orders and double-loading for two or more points can’t pos sible get quickest service. Sugar will begin to move very soon and householders should be especially careful not to get panicky over a sight of it in bet ter quantity. Buy what you need, but do not over stock or lay in a big pantry surplus. That may again cause trouble. Salt is moving to Georgia now and hog killing has been under way. The State will need more hogs next year than we will kill this year. The home-grown meat supply is greater this year than last, but hogs are more profitable tTian they have ever before been. They will make a handsomely paying crop next year. Formerly it was good manners to leave a piece on the plate. Now to be patriotic we must fol low the doctrine of the clean plate. The Food Administration wants the American people to greatly reduce its consumption of wheat flour by the increased use of corn meal. Corn meal cannot be shipped to our soldiers and our allies. The dog may be man’s best friend but the sheep furnishes the wool that keeps clothes on his back, besides furnishing val uable food for him. To conserve mutton wool the Food Ad ministration wants every sheep killing dog put out of business. This should be done. Corn is king in America today. There is enough corn to “do us”, more than three million bushels. Yet Europe starves while we sit in the mist of this golden plenty. We have 30 bushels apiece and eat during the year less than a bushel apiece. Four-fifths of all the farmers in America grow corn. One-third of all the land under cultivation is in corn. Then what is our answer to the Allies?. We will double the amount of corn meal we eat. Yes, treble the amount we eat, and release the wheat for you. Let this be your answer to the plea of heroic France for breod. Let this be our answer to the men who have held the line against our common enemy for three years. Let this be our an swer to the women who have stood back of those men and held the second line. Let this be our answer to the little ones whoj stretch their feeble arms to us crying for bread. Death of Tippens Being Investigated. Savannah, Jan. 5. ties are investigating the circum stances of the death of Wm. E. Tippens. of Manassas, in a road house near this city, last night. About $l5O is missing from the body and leads officers to fear foul play. On arriving at the house, Tip pens complained of feeling ill and a physician was called, ar riving a few minutes before Tip pens died. The deceased is a brother of Lucas Tippens, author of the Tippens prohibition bill. His sister is the wife of Judge S. B. Brewton, of Hinesville. Three other brothers, one other sister, a wife and two children survive the dead man. May Standardize Linters. j The handling and marketing of cotton linters is being investigat ed by specialists of the Bureau of Markets, United States Depart ment of Agriculture. Special at , tention is being given to the dif ferent quality of linters and to the practicability of standardiz ing this commodity. Owing to the great demand for this by product, oil mills have increased the cutting of linters from about 50 pounds to approximately 150 pounds per ton of cotton seed. On account of its present high price and low quality the mat tress, batting, and felt makers, as well as other manufacturers who have used linters in the past, have abandoned this product to a large extent. Practically the en tire production of linters is now being used for munition purposes. Lands Wanted. I am in the market for farm and timber lands.

'farmers marketing HOGS CO-OPERATIVELY. / : ' Hogs Sold Above Market At Cairo Sale. The first co-operative livestock sale was held at Cairo in Grady counijr on November 27, and in every way this sale was a success. The hogs market ed brought from one-half to one cent more per pound than local buyers had been able to give. Within a short time there will be a regular circuit worked out embracing theleading hog producing sections of south Georgia. For some time the agriculturists connected with the railroads, the State College of Agriculture, the United States Department, the Southern Bell Telephone Company and other organi zations have made a study of the plans for selling livestock co-operaive plans for selling livestock co-operative- Georgia is rapidly developing into one of the leading livestock states of the country, it is realized by those who are keeping abreast of the devel opment that adequate facilities must be provided for the handling of the rapidly increase volume of livestock on the markets. To form a marketing association a meeting is called, plans are explained and officers elected. Such a constitu tion and by-laws as to tlx responsibil ity of organization are drawn up. Usu ally the board of directors elects a sales manager, who arranges for sales days, engages the services of a com petent grader and does the account ing. The sales manager is usually bonded for a sum sufficient to cover any losses that might occur through Improper conduct of the sale. Wherever possible it is desirable that several local organizations be formed in a section aDd, when this is practicable, their constitution and by laws should be practically the same ex cept for minor changes to meet local conditions. It has been found that many advantages are enjoyed by groups of associations when buyers representing the best markets are in duced to attend sales on consecutive dates held by local associations. A membership fee Is usually charg ed to defray incidental expenses and pay for material used in construction of pens. One dollar a year is the amount usually charged by most local associations. Each member tn good standing has the right to vote in all meetings. Standard scales are provided and in some cases scales are furnished by the town and a bonded weigher is em ployed to weigh. A fee of 10c per weigh is usually charged. Sale dates are fixed in some cases once a month, or oftener, as may be necessary to meet the requirements of each local association. The sales manager arranges with buyers to be present, notifies farmers and determines in advance as nearly as possible the number of hogs that will be sold on the sale day. He ar ranges for cars to handle hogs and prepares pens, etc., for receiving them. Hogs are unloaded into the receiv ing pens and graded according to size and finish. Each grade is weighed sep arately and those who place hogs in the sale are credited with the number and weight of their hogs according to grade. —M. C. Gay, Field Agent In Marketing, State College of Agricul ture. AN ASPARAGUS BED FQR EVERY GARDEN Well Started, Should Last Twenty Years. Start an asparagus bed for home use. There is no other vegetable that takes the place of asparagus. It comes in early in the season, is most deli cious and delicate, and when a bed is once established it continues for many years, requiring little attention. This plant does well all through Geor gia, and there is no reason why every home garden of sufficient size should not have an asparagus bed. To start an asparagus bed pick out well-drained soil. For home condi tions practically any type as loam, sandy loam or clay can be utilized. Dig trenches at. least a foot deep and put some woods’ earth and well-rotted manure in these trenches, mix well with the soil and set the asparagus plants. These plants should be set at least 2 feet apart each way, and where the soil Is rich there should be from 4 to 5 feet between the rows, and the plants from 18 inches to 2 feet in the row. Cover these plants with 2 or 3 inches of soil, and as they begin to grow more the soil can be thrown into the trench, so that when the trench is completely filled the main root system of the plant will be at least 6 inches below the surface of the ground. If the plants are set that deop to begin with, they may find some trouble In getting through the soil, consequently the trench should be fill ed gradually after the plants have be- I gun to grow. The first, season no asparagus can be cut. from the bed. The bed should ! be covered or mulched with manure j (luring the winter, and no asparagus 1 should be cut the second season. The mulehing with manure should be done j every winter. The third season the j bed can be cut for about a month, | and after that the cutting time can run from 6 weeks to 2 months, and \ the bed will last for 20 years or more. —Prof. T. H.
