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.

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.
