FIELD PEAS FOR
FIGHTING MEN
State Department Agriculture
Says Good Substitute
- Navy Beans.
Atlanta, Ga., June 10.—In
view of the large amount of field
or cow peas held by the farmers
of Georgia, the State Bureau of
Markets, of the Georgia Depart
ment of Agriculture, has just
addressed an urgent letter to the
subsistence division of the war
department at Washington, urg
ing the use of this valuable and
nutritious product as a part of
the army ration.
It is pointed out that thousands
of soldiers who were regular con
sumers of these field peas, have
gone, into the army and are now
deprived of a food to which they
were long .accustomed, since the
army furnishes only a white bean
commonly called the navy bean. \
For this white bean the govern
ment pays around 12 cents a
pound,' while the well known
Georgia field pea can be had at
about 5 cents a pound.
The market bureau’s letter
quotes figures to show that‘the
field pea is of higher nutritious
value than the navy bean. It is
richer both in protein, carbohy
drates and fat, the three essential j
food elements. While the navy j
bean shows a total of 71 9 per j
cent digestible food matter, the
cow pea shows 76.4 per cent and
it is also much more easily pre
pared for consumption.
While it is impossible to state
accurately just what quantity of
field peas are now being held, the J
bureau states it is within the j
bound of reason to estimate it at
about twenty-five million pounds.
The use of these field peas as
an army ration would give the
government a better food value
at a cost of less than fifty per
cent of that of navy beans and j
would, at the same time, save
the farmers a loss of many hun- !
FOOD FACTS
SUGAR FOR CANNING
I AND PRESERVING
l '
Sugar may be obtained for cabning
«nd preserving purposes in Georgia in
$o pounds at a purchase, under a cer
tificate plan.
In response to numerous requests,
iDr. Andrew M. Soule, federal food ad
ministrator, has ordered into effect at
once the following plan:
■ “Desiring to purchase sugar for im
mediate canning and preserving pur
poses, I hereby pledge myself to use
such sugar exclusively for such pur
poses and under no circumstances to
•ell or loan the same. Permission is
•ought to buy pounds from
(name of dealer) at
Signature of Purchaser.
I hereby certify that the above
amount of sugar was this day sold by
me for use by the above purchaser
for preserving and canning purposes
only and I further certify that I have
reason to believe that such sugar will
not be used otherwise than in accord
ance with the regulations of the U.
8. Food Administration.
Signature of Retailer.
“Under no circumstances must more
than 26 pounds of sugar be sold on
this certificate to any one customer
at any one time. No retailer shall sell
to the same customer on additional
certificates until he has satisfied him
self that the permission obtained in
previous certificates has not been
abused.”
The certificate forms must be pro
vided by dealers, and will not be pro
vided by the food administration.
DANGER OF FAMINE
(From Farm Life.)
Maybe you’ve seen that expression
before. It is taken from a statement
made not long ago by Lord Rhondda,
the British food controller It gives
a graphic picture of the food shortage.
In fact, as Lord Rhondda says:
"The food wanted by mankind does
not - exist.
“The word ‘shortage’ is not strong
enough for the situation.
“To put the matter bluntly, the;
whole world is up against a nasty
thing, familiar to the people of India,
called Famine.’’
It is a good thing for us to let
that melancholy statement soak into
our consciousness. Then we'll do
what we can, every one of us, to save
the world from famine.
Bome folks say that they are tired ,
e< hearing about “starvation” and
“food shortage,” and similar unpleas
ant things.
Nation-Wide Economy.
To carry out the program of
national economy demanded of
the American people by the war
they must adopt scientific and
systematic methods of economy.
Spasmodic and periodic saving
; will not fulfill the demand upon
| us.
One method that has been pro
posed and has the approval of the
Treasury Department is for every
American to pledge himself or
herself to economize and save,
and with the savings at defi
nite periods purchase scientific
amounts of war-savings stamps.
We must give our Nation, we
must give our men in arms, all
the strength and support possible.
To do this we must cut our own
demands on the labor, material,
and money of the country to the
limit, and increase to the limit
the supply of money, material,
and labor available to the Govern
ment. All of our energies and
resources should be devoted to
! the winning of the war, and to
accomplish this we must econo
mize, save, and lend to the Gov
ernment.
A definite systematic plan of
saving, strengthened by resolve
and a pledge to save and lend to
the Government, will be produc
tive of the best results. The
savings plan campaign is now on.
Every patriotic American should
I make a pledge to save and keep
j the pledge.

The total acreage in sugarcane
in the 24 sugar parishes of Louisi
ana in 1918, is estimated at
218,000 acres, as compared with
293,000 in 1917 and 315,000 in
j 1909.
j dreds of thousands of dollars. A
further good effect of such ac
tion would be to encourage the
South to continue the planting of
food crops.
The department has been asked
to give the matter immediate
attention as the matter is grow
ing very serious.
They are even tired of having the
papers urge greater production.
When they reflect a little on Lord
Rhondda’s statement, these tired ones
ought to change their attitude. They,
too, should join the rest of us and be
come boosters for increased food.
EAT THil BIGCROP
“Eat more potatoes.”
With that slogan the Food Admin
istration has inaugurated a national
campaign to encourage the free mar
keting and consumption of potatoes.
It has enlisted the co-operation of all
agencies of the potato trade, state
and local authorities, various organi
zations, and the press. During the
next few months the great potato
crop of America will be moved from
producing centers to points of con
sumption as rapidly as the public will
consume the delectable “spuds.”
There are two great reasons for do
ing this:
(1) American growers in 1917 pro
duced a great crop which in large part
is unmarketed on the coming of
spring. Bad weather conditions was
the cause; but if this crop is not con
sumed rapidly and In larger propor
tion to other foods than is customary,
millions of bushels of potatoes will
not be sold before the next harvest.
Such a calamity could not fail to dis
courage potato growers who a year
ago responded to the appeal of the
country to be patriotic and increase
food production.
(2) By eating plenty of potatoes,
Americans can lower materially their
consumption of wheat products and
thus comply with the urgent request
of the Food Administration to cut
the national consumption of wheat
products by 60%.

DO YOU KNOW
The Worlds Food Crop is Short
DO YOU KNOW
The United States is the Greatest Food Producmj
Country in the World?'
Georgia’s Wheatless Week —the big voluntary support
of the Food Administration to quiokly export supplies to the
armies in France—has resulted in a saving of “a world of
flour.” Approximately half the people in the state entered
enthusiastically into the movement and actually observed
the “Wheatless Week.” It “put Georgia over the top” first.
The saving was about 1,250,000 pounds of flour as this
state’s contribution to the food needs of the boys who are
shooting the Germans.
Here’s what Mr. Hoover, United States Food Adminis
trator, wired Dr. Andrew M. Soule, Federal Food Adminis
trator for Georgia, Saturday:
Soule, Food Administrator:
Please express to the people of Georgia my sincere ap
preciation of their patriotic action in the observance of a
Wheatless Week. Such whole-hearted response to our re
quest is most gratifying and justified my confidence that the
American people will voluntarily save sufficient food for our
army and the Allies without rationing or other burdensome
regulations. I congratulate you and your staff—and the
State of Georgia—for the patriotism of her people.

New York, June 8. —German
proof of the saying that all is not
gold that glitters was forthcoming
here today with the disclosure
that the “magnificent” cup
which Emperor William awarded
to the American winner of his
ocean yacht race in 1905 was not
gold and was not worth $5,000,
as was announced at the time.
It was made of pewter with a
thin veneer of gold, and was
worth scarcely S4O.
The deception recoiled against
the emperor during the recent
Red Cress drive, it was revealed
today and it was auctioned and
reauctioned until it added $125,-
000 to the nation’s mercy fund.
President Wilson was in the
audience when the “gold” trophy,
bearing the emperor’s likeness
engraved on the side, was smash
ed with a hammer on the stage
of the Metropolitan opera house j
