Villa seems to be staying dead longer than usual. What have you done for the Henry County Fair? T. W. Hardwick must mean Talks Wrong Hardwick. The only unpleasant part of our vacation was that it ended. What are you going to exhibit at the Henry County Fair? Mr. Hancock wants your answer. We never hear anyone applaud itig the man who brags that he is not going to war until Uncle Sam forces him. There are many long steps and rough hills on life’s road to suc cess, but hard steady pulling will land you at the lop. The old saying is that war is what Sherman said it was. It ap pears that Sherman’s explanation is now mild and out of date. To Correspondents. The Weekly wishes to make the request of each one of you to write in your letters next week and S#om time to time, a short ar ticle not to exceed 100 words, on "Why Henry County Should Have A County Fair.” Although this is addressed to correspondents, we invite anyone interested to write on this subject for publication. The Weekly has the interest of dear old Henry at heart and stands for anything which is for its good. Lets make our county one of the most progressive in the state —the Empire county of the Empire state. The Weekly needs the earnest co-operation of its many good citizens to accom plish these results. Now, all together, friends. Let’s pull for the fair. One important duty a county cannot afford to neglect is that of keeping its public roads in good condition. To build an expensive highway and then let go to ruin, as many counties do, is mighty poor business. —Abany Herald.

Atlanta, .July. —Complete reor ganization of the uure food divis ion of the State Department of Agriculture, necessitated by the fact that the work iiad long since outgrown the capacity of one, has, already produced important re sults. Formerly Pure Food Inspector P. A. Methvin was supposed to have the assistance in making in spections of foods and feeds of the six long term fertilizer inspec tors when the fertilizer sason was over. Interesting in theory, this plan never worked out in practice, as these inspectors rendered little, if any, service to the food depart ment. Realizing the necessity for prop er food inspection, Commissioner J. J. Brow.i has appointed three inspectors especially detailed to this department and schooled in the laws governing foods and their sale. These inspectors have al ready begun a systematic tour of the State in which, before they finish, they will take in every one of tiie 3,862 cities, towns and vil lages in Georgia, post dealers and manufacturers on the food laws, take samples wherever necessary and co operate completely with all local sanitary and health authori ties. The food department is thus prepared 10 render any assistance necessary to any community de serving it. The State Chemical Bureau is co-operating heartily with the food department and prompt an alyses are being made on all sam ples submitted. The department will co-operate also with the Na tional Bure Food Bureau to the end that the people of Georgia may be given the best possible service. Commissioner Brown has in structed the Pure Food- Depart ment that the pure food laws must be positively enforced. Foods not meeting the requirements of the law will be condemned, and where occasion calls for it the laws will be enforced by prosecu / tion in the courts. The food de partment will also issue monthly bulletins for the benefit of produc ei s, dealers and consumers. There will be no loose ends and every case will be dealt with entirely upon its merits. By cutting off the six long term fertilizer inspectors now provided for by law, and making their peri od of service subject to conditions and in the direction of the derart ment, Commissioner Brown ex pects to save between $5,000 and SO,OOO annually, which may be de voted to other purposes in the in terests of agricultuaral develop ment. The commissioner has asked the legislature to make this change in the law in the interest of econ omy. Fertilizers are all inspected within a period of a few months, so that the large bulk of the pro duct is easily handled by the short term inspectors anyway. The long term men have, therefore, had practically nothing to do out side the season, and the proposal to pay them a per diem only when they are actually in service, will bring about the saving indicated with which much of positive ben efit to the farmers of the state can be done. It is conceded that the Georgia farmers are entitled to every service that can be ren dered with the proceeds of the in spection of a product of which they are the sole consumers. The department is desirous that every farmer in the state should know that under the law he is en titled, if he wishes it, to a special inspection and analysis of the fer tilizers which he has purchased. Hundreds of these special analysis were made during the recent fer tilizer-season, and this work h:s been completely finished by the department earlier than eyer be fore in its history. Whenever a special inspection is asked, an inspector is sent to where the particular fertilizers are stored and Careful samples taken. These are analyzed by the state chemist promptly and a report made by the commissioner to the consumer* Every farmer in Geor gia is entitled to the benefits of this law whenever he desires it, and the department will see to it that prompt and accurate report is made. Slakcers and Backers. Editor Constitution : Allow me <o pack into a paragraph my un mixed admiration ot the bravery of Judge Andrew J. Cobb and my unqualified indorsement of his fearffess and patriottic utterances at Athens on the Fourth of -July concerning our national crisis. He said: “When a nation is at war there are only two classes of citzens —patriots and traitors.” Let me put it this way —backers ami “slackers.” Before congress acted it was all right to discuss causes and meth ods. Wiliam J. Bryan fought for peace up to very cannon’s mouth, when a state of war was declared he said: “My lips are closed —my country has sffoken —I live in a great democracy —I stand with my country. It is the duty of every man whose home is protected by his country’s flag to give his all to his country when that country’s life and liberties'are at stake.” That is patriotism! And anything that weakens any man’s support of his country’s flag and his coun try’s burdened president is the shameful opposite of patriotism. Let carping “slackers” become stalwart “baeke/s” or go way back and sit down. Let every man who questions the righteousness of the American | position read Irvin Cobb’s wond | erful new booklet, “Speaking of Prussians.” He saw with his own eyes. He dipped his pen in his blood and wrote. Let every “slacker” read it today and be come a backer of his government. —WM. D. Upshaw.

To secure the best resuits and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the hulls thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls.
