Cotton Possibilities Under 801 l Weevil Conditions The cotton crop for the year 1916 has brought the Georgia farmer the greatest returns that he can hope to receive for a long time, on account of the boll weevil. This is the record—it is very conservatively stated: Cotton, 1,800,000 bales @ SBO per bale ................. $144,000,000.00 Cotton seed 900,000 tons @ S6O perton ............cvvv... 45,000,000.00 Total value lint and seed.........cecneeenviienneaneseess. 189,000,000.00 Georgia's Total Agricultural Income 1916 ................ $348,684,000.00 Georgia stands second in cotton production. She should and can hold her position if her people profit by the opportunities she offers. Though her planters will suffer temporary loss they can and will make it back through increasing the number of dairy and beef cattle, hogs and poultry and by en larging their acreage of peanuts, velvet beans, potatoes, fruit, truck and cereals. 3 Until Georgia learns how to produce the largest amount of cotton under boll weevil conditions, it is probable that the yields obtained in recent years will be reduced by 10 to 50 per cent. Relatively greater yields should be ob tained under boll weevil conditions in' north Georgia, because of the colder weather prevailing there, Some Talking Points About Georgia's Agriculture In 1916 Georgia had 2,434,000 hogs, which when compared with the census figures of 1909, show an increase of about 600,000 head. Georgia is seventh among the states in hog production. The increase in the number of hogs in Geprgla in 1916 over 1915 was 14 per cent, the greatest increase of any state, | According to figures of the Bureau of Animal Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture, Georgia is first of all the states having pig clubs, for lowest cost of production and for greatest profit in producing pork. Excellent pork is being made in Georgia at 3 cents and less per pound by the use of the combination of corn, velvet beans and peanuts, the hogs doing the harvesting. Georgia’s corn crop has been nearly doubled in quantity and value since 1909. During this period, the Boy’s Corn clubs have been developed and the county demonstration agents have been doing their educational work. The results are significant. The greatest yield of corn from one acre in Georgia is 214 bushels made by a Corn Club member. ?eorgla has the-largest number of Corn Club members of any state in the union, Georgia stands 15th among the states in corn production and 3rd among southern states in this regard, Texas and Kentucky alone surpassing her. Georgia has the largest acreage of any state devoted to pecans. ; Georgia is second in production’ of peaches and by reason of the guality and earliness, the selling price is high and profits are large. Georgia has 41,000 rural people—men, women and children—who are or ganized lnto‘,}clubs and otherwise, to do some definite demonstration work in improving farm conditions under the direction of the extension division of the Georgia State College of Agriculture. ' The velvet bean has come into great commercial importance, especially in south Georgia where it is extensively grown with corn. It increases live stock possibilities, and when grain q,pd pod are ground together is offered as a valuable feed upon the market. A During recent months several public sales of purebred livestock have been made in Georgia. In this way and through private purchases, some of the best breeding stock out of the most famous strains of beef and dairy cattle in the country have been obtained by Georgia farmers, WATCH GEORGIA GROW ST, ‘.d '/ , -\ (7] \ [_l F e sver 2 N Trench Anthology. To relieve the mental strain of trench warfare, some men turn to poetry. One man had made a collection of his fa vorite poems. It was a small booklet in soiled pa per covers. Loose leaves from books of various sizes had been sewn together in a compact little volume which fitted nicely into the pocket of his tunic. Among others he had “Kubla Khan,” “Comus,” “The Ode of the Intima tions of Immortality,” all of Keats’ odes and “The Eye of St. Agnes,” Shel ley's “Alastor,” Henley's “London Vol untaries,” some nineteenth century sonnets out of an edition edited by Willlam Sharp, and several poems by Francls Thompson.—New Republic, Disease Caused by Fear. An eminent authority once made the ptatement that a great deal of conta gion is due largely to nervous appre hension and fear. Terror causes radi cal changes in the secretions and nerve cells, and while the possibility is not the direct cause of disease, it certain ly is sufficient to put the person in the proper condition to be attacked by the prevailing malady. It is a well-understood fact that ex cessive anger infuses a toxic element into the secretions, Fear destroys the resistive capability, and, as it were, lets down the drawbridge and makes way for the enemy, . ———-—-——_—o.__.___ Telephone the news to The News.

A safe for holding radium has been constructed of very heavy walls of lead inside the steel chamber, sc that the radlum does not escape, or, rather, make itself felt in the room outside the safe. There 18 no thought of stopping the emanations, for that has heretofore proved impossible, and besides, a grain of radlum will outlast many genera tions; so why economize in a practical 1y inexhaustible source of energy? The extraction of radium, properly considered, is, therefore, only one of the concentration of all of the stored up energy in the ore into the smallest possible bit, and this may explain why it is so costly. ‘ e e (e ~ Watch label on your paper—it will notify you about your subscription.

We are all facing a-crisis. This war in Europe puts things in such uncertainty that no man can foresee the future with any degree of clearness. Wi The sure and certain increase in cotton acreage means lower cotton prices next fall. Cost of all food and grain products is high, 8o high that no one can afford to buy and expect to pay out with cotton. It's a time above all others to play safe; to produce all possible food, grain and forage supplies on your own acres; to cut down the store bill. A good piece of garden ground, rightly planted, rightly tended and kept planted the year round, can be made to'pay half your living. It will save you more money than you made on the best five acres of cotton you ever grew! Hastings’ 1917 Seed Book tells all about the right kind of a money sav ing garden and the vegetables to put in it. It tells about the fleld crops as well and shows you the clear road to real farm prosperity. It's Free. Send for it today to H. G. HASTINGS CO,, Atlanta, Ga.—Advt.

It has helped thousands of women,~why not you? Try Cardui.
