Fortify With Silage Against
Winter And High Priced Feed
"Don't forg.-t your silo," is advice
to the beef-cat tie farmer by special
lata of the United States Department
of Agriculture.
In every case, the specialists say, a
sufficient acreage to provide crops to
fill the alto should be provided by beef
cattle farmers. This will assure that j
the alio investment will yield Us prop
er annual return and prevent losses
doming from giving the cattle more ex
pensive feeds. The cheapness with
which cattle can be titled for market or
carried through the winter with silage
Insures that well tilled silos w ill be a
paying Investment.
It is a good furin practice, the spe
cialists say, to put more acreage to si -I
lage crops than It is estimated under,
ordinary conditions will be necessary j
to fill the silo. Dry w eather or a hail j
storm at the crucial stage of growth
may cause a marked decrease in the
tonnage yield For the South a few ex
tra acres should be planted to sorghum
to meet this probable shortage.

Why Rye Flour Was
Removed From Substitute List
Numerous inquiries have come to
the Food Administration asking why
rye flour was removed from the list of
substitutes for wheat flour. On May
1 it was estimated that there remained
but 1(1,000,000 bushels of rye in the
United States Against this amount
our normal consumption of rye from
May 1 to August 1 amounts to 31.000,-
000 bushels. If rye flour bad been con
tinued on the substitute list our avail
able supply would not have lasted one
month In order that there might be
even a limited supply for the normal
uses of rye flour, this cereal was taken
off the substitute list.
Checking All Sugar
The Wholesale and Retail Division
of the Food Administration advises
that arrangements have been made
with the larger mail order houses so
that they will send to the Federal Food
Administrator of the State in which :
j they have made sales of sugar for can- j
' niug purposes the actual certificates
which the consumers have signed.
Specific Substitutes - >
Feterita flours and meals are listed
as wheat flour substitutes in Wheal
Conservation Rules 26. 2# and 31,
which govern sales of wheat flour to
letallers and consumers, but kaflir and
tullo flours and meals are not expressly
included in the list Nevertheless they
are considered substitutes, being in
cluded by interpretation in "feterita
flours and meals.”
Kaffir and niilo flours and meals are
- xpreaaly included in the list of sub
.-tituies for bakers, which ts contained
in Wheat Conservation Rule 25.

SUGGESTS COMBINE
POLITICAL HONORS
Letter to Mr. W. J. Peterson
Brings Statement on
Subject.
Uvalda. Ga., June 11, 1918. !
Hon. W. J. Peterson, Ailey, Ga.
Dear Sir:—We understand that
Ailey and Mt. Vernon will come :
| together and support vou for rep
i resentative and Mr. J. C. Calhoun
for senator, or that there is some
talk to that effect.
' The people of this section will
support you for representative,
provided Mr. J. C. Calhoun does
not run for the senate.
We think that it will be fair
for this section to have the Sena
tor and would like to see you
elected for representative.
People generally believe that
Uncle and Nephew would be too
much kin mixed up and if you
desire the good will of this sec
tion and expect to be our repre
sentative without opposition, we
think that pressure must be
brought strong enough to keep
Mr. Calhoun out of the race for
senator. Your connection is in
shape to do this.
For obvious reasons I will not
sign my name, but should occa
sion demand, I will be glad to
come out and stand for justice
and fairness.
Respectfully yours,
A Voter.
Ailey. Ga., June 12, 1918.
A Voter, Uvalda, Ga.
Dear Sir:—l am considering an
nouncing for representative of
Montgomery county, and since I
am unable to address you person
ally, the occasion seems to compel
the acknowledgement of your
letter of the 11th inst., and my
reply through the columns of
The Monitor.
There is no agreement betw’een
Mr. Calhoun and myself to make
a combined race, he for the Sen
ate and mjself for Representa
tive; however, I want to avail
myself of this occasion to
state that Mr. J. C. Calhoun
is my uncle, for whom I entertain
a very kind affection, and in the
event he decides to announce for
the Senate, it is my purpose to
support and vote for him. And
should I become a candidate for
representative, it would be very
gratifying to me to feel that my
candidacy had the support and
approval of all sections of our
county.
However, I feel that the en
couragement and discouragement
of candidates for Senator and
Representative should rest with
the citizens and voters of the
county, and as for my candidacy,
I can assure you it will be based
wholly on the approval, co-opera
tion and support which I receive
and have been assured from the
voters of the county at large.
Yours for Justice and Fairness,
W. J. Peterson.

Mr J. W. Lett, living in the

ports the loss of two fine hogs
last Sunday. There were three
hogs in a pen, and before noon
Mr. Lett gave them a pan of
butterbean hulls. Later they
were watered, when they were
found violently ill. Shortly two
of them died, the other recover
ing.
Mr. Lett cannot account for
the sudden death of the hogs,
unless it was from the effects of
the hulls.

GERMANS CHECKED
BY FRENCH ARMY
Battle Now Raging One of
the Fiercest of the Four-
Year Struggle.
I
New York. —The Germans in the
center of their new attack on the
front between Montdidier and Noyon
have gained additional ground against
the French, but on both the right and
left wings they are being held. In
violent successive attacks they cap
tured the villages of Mery, Belloy and
St. Maure and also pressed forward
and gained the footing in the village
of Marqueglise, the last named place
representing the deepest point of pen
etration since the offensive began—
between five and six miles.
The battle is described by corre
spondents as one of the most furious
that has been fought since the war be
gan, with the enemy usually reck
less in wasting life to gain his objec
tives.
The latest official communication
from the German war office says ad
ditional ground has been gained by the
Germans southwest of Noyon against
newly brought up French reinforce
ments and that the Germans have tak
en about eight thousand prisoners and
some guns.
No Compromise With Prussianism
Schenectady, N. Y. —“Prussianism
and the idea of enduring peace among
nations can never be brought into har
mony; compromise cannot even be
considered," Secretary Lansing declar
ed here in an address as honorary,
chancellor of Union college for 1918.
Instance arter intsance from his own
experience were cited to prove his
point, because, he asserted, “Ameri
cans, even those intellectually equip
ped, have but vague ideas of the at
titude which made Prussianism pos
sible."
Conscience Objectors Are Sentenced
San Antonio, Texas. —Sentences of
life imprisonment were imposed by a
courtmartial here upon 45 “conscien
tious objectors” who had refused to
wear army uniforms. The sentence
was reduced to 25 years each by Brig.
Gen. J. P. O’Neil, who reviewed the
records. Brigadier General O’Neil des
ignated Fort Leavenworth, Kans., as
the prison of confinement. They will
be sent immediately to that place. The
men are nearly all from Oklahoma and J
members of the Mennonite faith.
