THEY WANT A CHANCE, NOT CHARITY; HELP UNCLE SAM GIVE THEM A START jj .7 7' ' .* p ; gjj * '* rK. jm \ Two crippled soldiers being taught telegraphy in one of the reconstruction hospitals maintained by the government. “We don’t want cliarity; give us a chance!” From every reconstruction hospital | In the country comes this insistent j plea from thousands of wounded sol- 1 diers. Although shattered in body, the j spirit that sustained them at Chateau Thierry, Argonne and Metz remains unbroken. They do not want something for j nothing; they are willing to work for ; all they get. The Government has inaugurated re construction institutions at various points throughout the country where 1 the blind, the armless and legless are taught useful trades and professions. While the soldier and sailor is un- | dergoing vocational training, he is sup ported by the Government. Should he have dependents, they also receive aid. Five possible steps follow a wound- 1 ed soldier’s decision to take the vo- ! cational training course. They are: i decision by the disabled man as. to his course of training; the training it self, which is to tit him for a definite occupation; trial employment in that occupation; placement after trial in a definite job, and follow-up work to safeguard his interests. Within the next few months it is expected that several thousand dis abled soldiers will have sufficiently recovered from their -wounds to take the Government’s vocational training course. Industrial schools and colleges throughout the country are being util ized so that most of the men are being trained close to their homes. Thirty-one per cent of »he total now in training are taking commercial Cotton Seed: Feed and Fertilizer Value. Owing to the difficulty in dis posing of cotton seed and the re duced price, even when they can be sold, many are asking about their value for feed and fertilizer. For feeding, cotton seed are worth about two-thirds as much as as cottonseed meal. That is, when cottonseed meal can be bought for S6O a ton, cotton seed are not worth more than S4O a ton for feeding. Compared with corn, up to the amount of seed which can be safely and economically fed, say j up to five pounds a day to an average cow, there is not much difference in the feeding value of corn and cotton seed. On this basis, when corn is 11.40a bushel, cotton seed are worth SSO a ton, j but as stated, relatively small amounts of cotton seed can be fed without causing scouring or too great looseness of the bowels. For fertilizer cotton seed are worth about one-half as much as cottonseed meal. That is, when cottonseed meal can be bought for S6O a ton, cotton seed are not worth over S3O a ton for fertilizer.! But since nitrogen can be bought for less than 30 cents a pound in both sulphate of ammonia and nitrate of soda, a ton of cotton seed is really not worth $25 for fertilizer. To give cotton seed a value of $25 a ton as fertilizer, nitrogen must be valued at about 30 cents a pound, phosphoric acid at 7 cents and potash at nearly 20 cents a pound. —Progressive Farmer. -r • I Notice—Stray Cow.

Davis, Rt. 1, Vidalia, Ga. courses; seventeen per cent are learn | ing the various phases of agriculture. ] farm management, poultry raising and J stock breeding. Others are studying ;law, medicine, banking, and some are being trained in engineering, telegra phy, tailoring, window trimming and designing, accounting, store manage jment, machine shop practice, meat in spection, traffic management, and so on. It is not merely the men who have I lost their arms or legs, or who have been blinded, that the Government is retraining and restoring to self-sup porting activity. Aid is offered to ev i ery man who is entitled to Government I compensation. Thousands of men suf fering from tuberculosis, bronchitis, heart and nervous diseases, may be unable to re-enter their former occu pations. What better assurance to the sol diers could be given than that uttered by President Wilson when he said: “The Nation has no more solemn ob ligation than healing the hurts of our wounded and restoring our disabled men to civil life and opportunity. The Government recognizes this, and the fulfillment is going forward fully and generously. “IT IS NOT A CHARITY! “It is merely the a draft of honor which the United States of America accepted when it Selected these men, and took them in their health and strength to fight the bat ties of the nation. They have fought the good fight, they have kept the faith and they have won. Now we keep faith with them, and every citizen is endorser on the general obligation.” Better Care of Stock Brings Greater Returns. Atlanta, Ga., April 21. —Re ports on the growing live-stock industry in Georgia, which cattle men here have discussed, show unquestionably that much of the success and profit of stock-raising is due to the interest that farm ers are taking now in keeping their cattle from the open range. In counties where the “no fence” law is in operation requiring stock owners to keep up their animals, scrub stock is rapidly disappear ing, and there are fewer losses from death on railroad tracks and by automobiles. It has also prov ed a big factor in the conserva tion of food and leather, as em phasized by the National Council . of Defence. Prevalent prices show that the stock raiser is getting better financial returns on his animals than ever before, which in itself is leading to an expansion of the industry. The indications are that Georgia will be one of the leading stock-raising states of the country during the next few years. ■ ■ * Money is Saved American Farmers. Washington, April 18.—More than $1,500,000 will be saved by the farmers this year as a result of the action of the government in making available at reduced prices large quantities of nitrate for fertilizer. After the armis tice was signed the war depart ment released to the department of agriculture 111,000 tons of nitrate produced during the war I for use in explosives. To this quantity is added 40,000 tons re ceived from Chile by the agri ! cultural department too late for distribution last year. Under | authority of the food control act I the nitrate is to be sold at cost and already, says a statement today by the department, farm ers have taken up the full 151,- 000 tons in orders ranging from 1 200 pounds to 300 tons.
