PARMER'S UNION OF GEORGIA
TO MEET IN ATLANTA.
Jenkins burg, Ga„ March 30, 1917.
T , the Officers and Members of the
Farmer’s Union of Georgia:
On May the first and second there
will be held a state meeting of the
Farmer’s Union of Georgia in Atlan
ta Ga., state capitol. I am assured of
large delegations from all sections of
the state already, and I am especially
anxious for as many members as pos
sible to be present. In addition to the
members, 1 extend a most cordial in
vitation to all farmers and business
men of this state, who are in sympa
thy with the Farmer’s Union, to at
tend.
just at present we have some ser
ious questions before the people to
be solved. One of the most important
questions before us is that of working
out a Marketing System for the farm
ers of Georgia. We have been studying
production and scientific farming for
many years. This has met with great
success and I hope this good work
will go on —in fact, it must —but the
time has come when the farmer must
work out a system that will give him
profits as well as products from his
farm.
Since we are confronted with the
boll weevil in Georgia and have had
to substitute other crops for the cot
ten crop, therefore the question of

Prescriptions W^MM^O
I personally supervise their preparation. I guarantee that
SOUTHERN STOCK POWDERS and
SOUTHERN POULTRY POWDERS
are an authoritative physician’* prescription; compounded in a thoroughly scientific manner, and
are guaranteed to be all that is claimed for them in every respect. When I took up the study
of animal medication, I found that the subject had not been seriously considered by the manu
facturers of medicine for stock, at least to the extent of formulating a prescription that was gen
uinely medicinal, and worthy of the name of medicine in every respect. Tne study of animal
organism proved that stock—horses, cows, mules, sheep, and hogs, were as susceptible to the
effects of correct medication as were human beings; and that their systems required essentially
the same medicine that would be prescribed to the human family; except that it should be
stronger, and that their increased size required, of course, larger doses.
So along this line I perfected the formulae* for the various preparations made under the
name of the Southern Stock Food Cos., and I present you here a facsimile picture of the two big
features of our businecs, namely—
Southern Stock Powders sod Southern Poultry Powders
They are both scientifically formulated, and the preparations are made under my personal
and direct supervision, the fact that more than 10,000 Southern dealers sell these preparations,
and that the high standard of the goods has popularized them the South over, is sufficient recom
mendation for you to use them. An occasional dosage amongst your stock will do much towards
keeping the animals in good condition; if indeed not wholly prevent sickness amongst them.
A 25-cent package of “SOUTHERN STOCK POWDERS” is good for 64 complete doses.
This same prescription, were it supplied by a doctor, and compounded by a druggist, would cost
you $2.30.
SOUTHERN POULTRY POWDERS
The peer of a!l remedies for Poultry, is a strictly medicated formulae of Dr. Verdier’s own compounding; and based
on tiie same theory of treatment, that has proven his methods in the treatment of stock. ,
A 25-cent package of “SOUTHERN POULTRY POWDERS” supplies 10 head of hens with 64 complete feeds. The
greatest efficacy of this remedy is to keep your chicks healthy and laying efficiency up to the maximum standar .
An occasional, dosage v/ill counteract the customary prevailing ailments in the poultry yard, or pen, JJLP.Yfpi
greatest brnrfact'on and economy ycu can possibly pursus in the care of your poultry. This remedy is rilsl
GUARANTEED OR YOUR MONEY BACK. Dr. Verdier personally supervises the compounding of all of his famous
stock and poultry remedies. Write for FREE pamphlets on the care of Stock and Poultry. Very interes gan
instructive information, that may save you hundreds of dollars. .
“SOUTHERN STOCK POWDERS’* and “SOUTHERN POULTRY POWDERS” are for sale Dy more than lo.ow

SEEDS PLANTED IN BOXES
PRODUCE EARLIER CROPS.
Home gardeners who do not own a
hot bed and who can not readily buy
j young plants can get much earlier
j crops of tomatoes, cabbage, cauliflow
ei, peppers, egg plant, and lettuce if
they will start the seed for their early
gardens in seed boxes in the house.
Early potatoes sometimes are forced
in the same way. Seeds so planted ger
minate and are ready for transplant-

ing by the time it safe to sow the
same kind of seed in the open ground.
When danger of frost is over and the
soil is dry enough to work, therefore,
the home gardener starts his early
garden with seedlings well above the
surface. Transplanting, if properly
done, instead of hurting, seems to help
such plants develop a strong root sys
tem. Garden enthusiasts should get a
good deal of pleasure from this kind
of preliminary indoor gardening. They
a’so can use boxes to hasten the
blooming period of many sorts of
flowers which stand transplanting.
Any sort of wooden box filled with
good soil answers the purpose. The
following directions for making seed
boxes and h .ndling the plants have
been prepared by the Bureau of Plant
Industry and the States Relations Ser
vice, United States Department of Ag
riculture, for the guidance of the can
ning and gardening clubs of the no th
and west.
Making a Seed Box.
Seeds of early tomatoes and caD
bage, as well as cauliflower and pep
per, should be planted in a seed box
in the house at once. The seed box
should be 3 to 4 inches deep, 12 to 14
inches wide, and 20 to 24 inches long.
A layer of about 1 inch of gravel or
cinders should be placed in the bot
tom of the box, then it should be filled
nearly full of rich garden soil, or soil
ern idled with decayed leaves or ma-
nure. The rich soil beneath the family
woodpile or around decaying logs is
splendid for this purpose. The sol!
should be pressed down firmly with a
small piece of board and rows made
one-fourth to one-half inch deep and
- inches apart crosswise of the box.
The seed should be distributed 8 or 10
to the inch in the rows and be cover
ed. The soil should be watered and the
box set in a warm place in the light,
in the sunshine by a window being
best. Water enough must be given
from time to time to cause the seeds
to germinate and grow thriftily, but
not enough to leak through the box.
It a piece of glass is used to cover the
box, it will hold the moisture in the
soil and hasten the germination of the
seeds. .
Take Out Surplus Plants.
When the plants are from an inch
to an inch and a half high, they should
be thinned to 1 or 2 inches apart in
the row so as to give them sjvace
enough to make a strong stocky
growth. If it is desired t p keep the
! lants which are thinned out, they
may be set 2 inches apart each way
in other boxes prepared as mentioned
for the seed box. When the w r eather
becomes mild, the box of plants should
be set out of doors part of the time
;o that the plants will “harden off’'
in preparation for transplanting to
the garden later. A good watering
should be given just before the plants
are taken out of the box for trans
planting so that a large ball of earth
will stick to the roots of each one—

AID IS ASKED IN SUPPLYING
POULTRY PRODUCTS.
Athens, Ga., April t>, 1917.
j To the People of Georgia;
j Now, that we as a nation are
I pledged to wage war against the Ger
: man Empire to a victorious conclus
ion, it ,:,3 well that we look to our ag
ricultural resources. As one intsrest
j er? in Poultry Husbandry, 1 desire to
! u'ge that every Georgian aid in sup
! plying the poultry products needed by
| our country.
Poultry men, farmers and people
j duelling in the city where space is
j available cannot show their patriotism
in any better way than by increasing
the food supply of the country, es
pecially of eggs and poultry products.
With our war department making
plans for putting 3,000,000 men in the
field and our navy brought to full war
strength; together with our pledge to
j help in the supporting of the armies
! and navies of France, England, Rus
j sia and Italy; the need of a greatly
increased production of poultry and
eggs in Georgia and the south is ap
parent.
To the recuperating soldier ,in the
hospitals at the front, an egg of good
finality forms one of the things most
needed to aid him in recovering his
health and strength.
The Poultry Word (England) for
January 12th, says:
“A minimum of 250,000 eggs a week
are needed for the Base Hospital in
France. The men out there are largely
dependent upon an egg and milk diet.
They "nust have a good supply of new
laid eggs. It is the bouden duty of ev
ery man and woman in this country to
see that a good supply of eggs reaches
each man.”
This illustrates only a small pro
portion of our needs. We must not
only aid our friends in France but we
must also prepare to provide for our
own wounded. Georgia’s task, however,
must be even greater. At the present
time the large cities of this state re
ceive 50 per cent of the eggs they use
from the states to the north and west
of us. During the winter months as
high as 90 per cent of the eggs used
by the largest cities of Georgia are
produced outside of the state. In or
der not to be a drain upon the rest
of the nation during the present cris
is; we must double our egg produc
tion in this state. But if w r e desire to
provide our soldiers and sailors with
our proportion of eggs and poultry,
vre must do even better than that.
Due to the high prices of food stuffs
and the high prices that could be ob
tained for poultry during the last win
ter; large numbers of chickens have
been sold off and we have a consider
