O, for just a few bales of the long staple. Hurry along with your subscrip tion while the hurrying is good. High or low cotton, plenty of food crops is always a mighty fine thing. Crowned heads are a world nuisance—but oftentimes they are handy in a card game. Three pounds of long staple will about pay for The Weekly one whole year. Hurry ! Mary bought a little bond, Ami stowed it in her stocking; And the interest that investment drew Was really something shocking —Chicago Tribune A German submarine sunk a U. S. Transport and killed seventy American soldiers one day last week. Think seriously of your duty to buy liberty bonds. Georgia-Products Day has been set for November 15. People will be urged this year to cut out meat as much as possible and see what good tilings they can get together in the way of fruits and vegetables. The tide is setting strongly against Germany now, but the Hohenzollern dynasty will never yield till the people, who ought to be their own masters, assert the right to govern themselves, truly observes an exchange. That was a soft-hearted jury in Talbot county that returned a ver dict of guilty against a couple of bank robbers, with a recommen dation that they be punished mere ly as misdemeanants. In accord ance with this recommendation they were sentenced to the State Farm for one year. The evidence showed that the robbers entered a bank at a small town in Talbot county and at the point of a pistol held up the cashier, carried him to the woods, and there gagged and left him. Such a miscarriage of justice is a reproach to our courts and a menace to society, but a great victory for the lawyers en gaged for the defense. The scoundrels should have been given the limit of the law.—Newnan Herald. Young Arthur was wrestling with a lesson in grammar. “Father,” said he thoughtfully, “what part of speech is woman ?” “Woman, my boy, is no part of speech ; she is all of it,” returned the father. “Seed Time and Harvest.” “While the earth remaineth, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” Genesis, 8:22. Doubtless it is humanly natural for Ihe farmers of Georgia to feel discouraged over the early crop prospects every year, but it is un- Scriptural and unncessary. In the six thousand years that the earth has been reyolving there has not been one when Georgia did not have “seed time and harvest, rain and sunshine,” and this year is not different from those which have succeeded it down the vast vistas of time. Sometimes it may seem that the reason of “seedtime” is rather late, but it has never failed to ma terialize. Farmers who live so close to the heart of nature’s God, more than all others, should have implicit abiding faith in the prom ises registered for the direction of men. In all probability the “seedtime” was late this year for beneficial reasons. It may have been that the fanners were contemplating the production of a twenty-million bale crop, which might not have commanded twenty-six cents a pound, for direct interposition of the Great Giver of everything good is the only power that can prevent over-production of cotton by Georgia farmers, and the Cre ator of the world has not lost His wisdom. Farmers need never worry over crop prospects, for it is written that “as long as the earth remain eth there will oe seedtime and harvest.” In past centuries this promise has been fulfilled and it will not be disregarded in the fu ture. The forecast of the- yield for Georgia in September was 1, 860,000 bales of cotton and large quantities of corn and other agri cultural products. The eye that notes the sparrow’s fall will not he blind to the welfare of the world. Just do the best that you can, Mr. Farmer, and leave the results to Him. —Conyers Times. Farmers Union Will Meet In Macon Nov. 13-14. The annual meeting of the Farm ers’ Union of Georgia will be held in Macon, November 13th and 14th. Headquarters have been arranged at the Lanier Hotel. President J. H. Mills and Secretary A. J. Flem ing will be there in advance of the meeting date for arrangement of any fi lal details not already pro vided for. Charles S. Barrett, President of the National Organization, says this meeting will be, by long odds, the most important gathering since the organization of the Farmers’ Union. Never before has the or ganization in Georgia or any other state been confronted with as great responsibility or with as wide possibilities of an unbounded success as now. This nation, in fact, practically the whole world, is dependent upon the the farmer, and the greater part of that de pendence rests upon the success of the southern farmer. Boschees German Syrup. Why use ordinary cough reme dies, when Boschee’s German Syr uo has been used so successfully for fifty-one years in all parts of the United States for coughs, bronchitis, colds settled in the throat, especially lung troubles. It gives the patient a good night’s rest, free from coughing, with ea sy expectoration in the morning, gives nature a chance to soothe the inflamed parts, throw off the disease, helping the patient to re gain his health. 25 and 75 cent bottles. Sold by the McDonough Drug Co. Peanut Machines. As an evidence of the substan tial manner in which the farmers of Terrell county and immediate section have planned to be inde pendent ot the boll weevil, peanut growing has assumed considerable proportions, and hundreds of thousands of bushels are now about ready to be harvested. Dealers in farm machinery in Dawson have already sold more than a hundred implements for gathering and picking peanuts and bailing the hay. It is only this year that real in terest has been manifested in pea nut growing as a cash crop for the fall months, and it is one that will bring good profits to the farmers. Thousands of acres have been planted, as indicated by the large sale of machinery for handling them. There are indications that next year more acres will be plant ed in this section to take the place to some extent of the cotton which has been destroyed by the pestif erous weevils. Peanuts are now bringing from 4 to 4% cents a pound in the local market. —Dawson News. Prompt Action Averts the Trouble. Sluggish bowels indirectly cause much sickness.

The mixed feed formulas show how to combine Buckeye Hulls properly with concentrates and other feeds. Mr. W. B. Lifford, Troy, Ala., prefers Buckeye Hulls to old style hulls. He says that they are less trouble to feed, are better for the digestive organs and seem to agree with the cows better. To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the hulls thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by vetting them down night and morning (or 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.
