TO ORGANIZE BEAN MILLERS Velvet Bean Meal is Said to Possess Great Fertilizing Property. Atlanta, Ga., August 5. —Geor gia producers of velvet beans are looking forward with much in terest to the meeting called in Macon, Thursday, August Bth at 10 o’clock, at the Chamber of Commerce, for the purpose of formally organizing an associa tion of velvet bean millers of this State. The State Bureau of Markets has just issued a call directed to all who are interested in the vel vet bean industry to attend this meeting, as it will be most im portant. It will look not only to the development of the industry which is rapidly growing, but to its production, both in the matter of production and marketing. The State Bureau of Markets in a statement just issued, calls attention to the fact that there is a large quantity of velvet bean meal in the State, and it will not be long before the farmers are considering the fertilization of their soils for fall Dlanting. Velvet bean meal has a great feeding value, but considering it purely from the standpoint of a fertilizer, the bureau points out that a ton of this meal, ground with the hulls, contains .58 per cent phosphoric acid, 3.35 per cent ammonia and 1.25 per cent potash; and figuring this on the basis of the unit prices of fertili zers last spring, it states that this meal is worth $32.30 per ton purely as a fertilizer. The market bureau further says: “We think it wise to call the attention of Georgia farmers to the fact that, unit for unit, vel vet bean meal is just as good a fertilizer as cotton seed meal. If there is anyone who desires to buy or sell yelvet bean meal, and will notify the State Bureau of Markets. State Capitol, Atlanta, Ga., their names will be listed in its weekly market bulletin. This service is free and all inquiries are welcome.” With Coal Shortage, Must Burn Wood. Calling attention to the indica tions of a serious coal shortage the coming winter, Commissioner of Agriculture J. J. Brown advises all farmers who are in a position to do so, to cut all the cord wood possible this fall, and have it ready for the winter trade. “All indications point to the fact that the situation as to coal this year, is going to be worse than last year,” Commissioner Brown said. “In fact it has been reported the fuel administration may find it necessary to place serious limitation upon the use of coal, or even an embargo, in those districts wood can be easily obtained. “Undoubtedly, therefore, there will be a good demand for wood for fuel purposes, and those who are prepared to deliver it, will be in an advantageous position. It is best, of course, not to cut wood for fuel until the sap gets out of the trees, say from about Sep tember Ist on through the fall.” Plant Winter Wheat. “Don’t forget to plant winter wheat,” is the urgent advice of the State Department of Agricul ture,” as there will be urgent need for every bushel of it that can be raised.” The Debartment is consistently and persistently advising every farmer in the State to put in at least two acres of winter wheat to each plow, and to give his very best acres to it. It is time time now to begin to plan for wheat and oat planting. The State Bureau of Markets stands ready to lend its assis-! tance to any who may desire it; in the matter of securing good j quality seed for fall planting. Prompt attention will be given to the requirements of those who will write the bureau at the State Capitol, Atlanta, Ga. The Government May Commandeer Pine. Washington, July 31. —The commandeering of the yellow pine industry of the South may be re sorted to by Chairman Baruch of | the war industries board unless the government’s needs is fully supplied. The wooden ship-build ing program is being serious ly hampered, officials of the Emergency Fleet Corporation said today, because the yellow pine J interests have not met more, 1 promptly the demands for heavy timber required in ship construc ! tion. The decision to dispense with the services of John H. Kirby, lumber administrator of the Fleet ' Corporation whose resignation was announced last night at New Orleans, it was said by shipping board officials, was made by! Director General Schawb and! Vice-President Piez and a letter was written to Kirby saying his ' office would be consolidated with another and that “his services, therefore, would no longer be required.” Through Publishers Only. Washington, July 29.- Books and periodicals can be sent to American prisoners of war in Germany only when they are ordered through the publishers and are dispatched from the offi ces of publishers, the war depart ment announced today. This ruling by the military censorship was made because old books form a convenient method of secret communication and require ex traordinary scruting by the cen sorship forces. Alston Ginnery.

HOW YOU CAN HELP What To Save And What To Use Prepared by Federal Food Adminimratioii for (itorg.u Three times each day every Ameri can has opportunity to be of direct, practical help to the men on the bat tle front: National Program SAVE SUGAK. Two pounds per per son per month is the American honor ration. Try to eat less and add to the National surplus for canning. Do this that the fighting force may be kept fully supplied, and that England, France and Italy may receive their greatly restricted requirements. SAVE BEEF. Food for fighting men. Save the large carcasses for them by restricting yourself to small cuts, by products and trimmings; hearts, tongues, livers. We have enough in crease supply of pork this summer to permit economical expansion in its use, to relieve the pressure on beef. SAVE WHEAT. Keep on saving, though the harvest is large. Build up war reserves by persistent conserva tion. Without American wheat saved from the last harvest the Allied cause would have been lost. The margin next year must not be so narrow. USE FRUITS. Take advantage of the natural sugar in fruits. Can with out sugar, or with little sugar. Add sugar later, when it will be more plen tiful. Dried fruits, such as raisins, dates and figs have much sugar in them. Use honey, maple products and sirups when available. USE VEGETABLES. Make local vegetables fill as large a place as pos sible in your diet, thus conserving not only meat, and wheat, but transporta tion and labor. Don't use canned goods now, while the fresh are avail able. USE DAIRY PRODUCTS. Always give the children plenty of milk, milk products and eggs. Use them your selves freely now, and thus conserve meat for export. USE FISH. New species are being popularized and supplies increased. Eat this nutritious but perishable food sev eral times a week and let the non perishables go abroad.

It is, therefore, “Ordered; That at and after mid night, July 31st, the household con sumption of sugar be limited to a basis of two pounds per person per month for each member in family and each domestic employed; that all public eating places be limited to a basis of two pounds of sugar for each 90 meals served; that all boarding houses serv ing 25 or more persons be limited to the same basis and under the same heading as ‘public eating places;’ that all manufacturers, heretofore de fined as soft drink dealers and dispen sers, candy makers, confectioners, etc., be strictly held to consumption of not more than 60 per cent of last year’s computed consumption. “Ordered further: That dining cars, cases, restaurants, public dining rooms, etc., remove sugar bowls from all pub lic tables and, effective at once, serve no more than two half-lumps (not 2V6 lumps) of sugar or one teaspoon full of granulated sugar to each one per son at one meal. “Certificates issued for the month of August on all statement forms will be held strictly to allotment figures and resupply excesses will be held available for call for redistribution purposes where interim certificates have been issued. “The net allotment for Georgia for August can not be exceeded. It is, therefore, of particular importance that 'retail dealers handling sugar under the Administration’s regulations lend themselves unreservedly to obtaining proper compliance on the part of indi vidual consumers with those regula tions prepared for their protection. It is the home consumption supply which Is sought to be safeguarded by the Food Administration, and the more complete the patriotic co-operation of the individual that much more success ful will be the efforts of the Food Administration In his behalf. “The Conservation Division of the United States Food Administration es pecially urges the saving of the fruit and vegetable crops by canning and preserving now for winter uses, but especially calls upon home canners and preservers to effect this conservation without the use of sugar where possi ble. In numerous experiments It has been found that sugar substitutes may be successfully used and In others that the conservation work may be car ried -forward now without the use of sugar and the sugar added later, when i the supply is more plentiful. "The foregoing in its entirety Is ap plicable to the Fourth Zone and pub -1 llcation hereof Is to be taken by all ' parties concerned as official notice. ’’ FOR REPRESENTATIVE.
