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. New Augusta Administrator W. Inman Curry, solicitor of the j city court of Augusta, has been ap pointed Food Administrator for Rich mond County to succeed N. L. Willet.

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. Advertisement 1 abor and material are essen tial to victory; use both sparingly, j Spring Hill News. Suvoial Corre.poudenoe.

Vernon, Georgia 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."
