Raise More Foodstuffs.
Georgia farmers and the farm
ers of the South generally atte be
ing urged to plant larger acreages
in wheat for the next harvest than
they have planted before.
A little thought on part of tillers
of the soil will convince them of
the great necessity of doing this.
America, for the next few years,
will be expected to furnish a large
proportion of the food that is con
sumed, not only in this country,
but in many foreign countries, in
Let me urge every farmer
Henry county to he loyal and
plant double the amount of wheat
this year as planted last year.
Also, those who did not plant last
year to plant this year. Every
plow should have at least two
acres of wheat. If Henry county
should follow this rule next sum
mer would find practically enough
wheat in the county to supply the
demands and some to sell.
Peace or no peace, we must
double our efforts in raising food
stuffs for home and other coun
tries. As loyal Americans we will
do our bit and save the world
from suffering.

Calls and Help in
This Emergency.
Bell telephone t service in Mc-
Donough is seriously hampered
by the absence 01 two out of the
three regular employes operators
who are ill with Spanish influenza.
Adequate service cannot he ren
dered under these conditions un
less we have the patriotic co-ope
ration of the telephone-using pub
lic. The traffic is heavier than
usual, and our limited force M
operators are striving to meet the
unusual demands.
You are urged not to make local
or long distance telephone cal’s
except in cases of absolute neces
sity. Ordinary business and so
cial calls must be eliminated so
that the traffic may be reduced to
the point where it can he handled
efficiently by the limited number
of operators who are able to per
form their duties.
If ypu make unnecessary cal
you will interfere with the emer
gency needs of the community
and prevent us from handling the
calls which are absolutely essen
tial.
Only through patriotic co-ope
ration of the entire telephone-us
ing public can we successfully
cope with this serious situation
and render service for the essen
tial needs of the public.
