- Damaged by Cold.
According to Hon. J. H. Mills,
president of the Farmers’ Union
of Georgia, the cotton crop in the
northern part of the state was se
riouf'y damaged by the recent
killing frosts, and cotton seed for
next year’s planting will be a seri
ous problem. Not only northern
Georgia, but northern Arkansas
and parts of Mississippi were sim
ilarly affected by the freeze, Mr.
Mills states.
The cotton was so seriously
damaged, Mr. Mills declares, that
the seed in those sections will be
practically worthless for planting
next season. For this reason good
planting seed will be in great de
mand in the sections affected, he
states, and he advises farmers
who have good planting seed to
hold them until next spring, when
they are assured of good prices,
SIOO a ton or better.
Mr. Mills urges the farmers here
to hold their seed until next spring
when there will be no trouble in
disposing of them to planters in
North Georgia and other states at
fine prices.
Mr. Mills says the cotton crop
in North Georgia has bden cut off
a great deal on account of late
planting and the early cold weath
er.
Doing Their Bit.
Washington, D. C., October 25.
—Fairfax Harrison, chairman of
the Railroads’ War Bond, author
izes the following:
The railroads are doing their bit
to relieve the sugar shortage.
Telegrams just received from
the Sunset Central, Texas & Pacif
ic, and other railroads in the sugar
cane belt that a sufficient number
of empty cars are available
throughout Louisiana and other
cane-growing territory to handle
the entire cane crop.
Hundreds of cars have also been
moved into the Northwest to pro
tect the sugar beet crop which is
already moving.
An adequate supply of cars is
also on hand to move the North
west potato crop.
In Texas the railroads are bend
ing every energy to protect the
cattle-men from loss of live stock.
Because of of the drought thous
ands of heads of cattle were mov
ed from Eastern Texas last week
into more fertile pasturage and
hundreds of stock cars are now
being rushed into ihe southwest
ern part of the state in order to
make possible a similar movement
of cattie there.
In it - efforts to get empty freight
cars ir.to tlm districts tvhere they
are most needed, the Railroads’
War Board acting through the
Commission on Car Service has
moved 156,850 empty cars from
one railroad to another irrespec
tive of ownership since the first
day of May. The orders for these
cars since September Ist number
8,905.
Complaint Almost Gone.
“Foley»s Honey and Tar is
great,” writes L. W. Day, 75 Camp
bell Ave., E., Detroit, Mich. “It
relieves bronchitis quickly. My
complaint has almost gone and I
hope never to have it again.” The
experience of thousands proves
there is no better remedy for
coughs, colds or croup. The gen
uine costs no more than substi
tutes, and this old reliable family
cough medicine should be in every
home every winter. Insist on

Capt. Russell Will Issue
Passes to Camp Wheeler.

lice with headquarters in the Nte
bet School Building at the corner
of Orange street and Washington
avenue.
There has been considerable in
convenience to the people coming
to Macon from afar as a result of
being unable to secure admission to
the camp after making the trip
there. The only parties with au
thority to issue passes were inside
the camp and there was no way to
get to them except on visiting days.
To relieve this situation General
Hayden has conferred authority
on Capt. Russell to issue passes in
strictly meritorious cases. This
he will do if satisfied that the per
son applying for admission to the
camp is entitled to it. —Jackson

James Edwards, 208 Harriett

from using Foley’s Honey and
Tar. My whole family is using it
now —the little ones and old ones.
It has cured our coughs and brok

100 per cent. Roughage
BUCKEYE HULLS are real roughage in every parti

as forage. They are free of lint. They are free of
trash. They are free of dirt and dust. When you buy

you are paying for nothing but roughage, and you are feeding your
stock nothing that is worthless or injurious. Buckeye Hulls look
like a real feed and are a real feed. Their very appearance will
convince you that you should use them.
* Even if Buckeye Hulls cost as much as old style hulls it would still
be to your advantage to use them. Selling at several dollars per
ton less, they put old style hulls beyond consideration.
Other Advantages
Buckeye Hulls allow better as- They mix well with other for
similation of other food. age.
They are sacked —easy to handle. Every pound goes farther.
They take half the space for 2000 pounds of real roughage to
storage. the ton —not 1500.
Mr. S. L. Jones, Jackson, La., says:
*'J have been feeding my dairy cows Buckeye Hulls and
find that they do as well on Buckeye Hulls as on old
style and that they like the Buckeye Hulls better than
the old style." t
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
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.
Book of Mixed Feeds Free
Gives the right formula for every combination of feeds used in the
South. Tells how much to feed for maintenance, for milk, for fat
tening, for work. Describes Buckeye Hulls and gives directions for
using them properly. Send for your copy to the nearest mill.
