The Tribune-News Farm Department. 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 mi f Mr Stock*™ t^^jikraiMrßswMßs Abe Genuine 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.

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- THE BARTOW TRIBUNE-THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS, APRIL 12, 1917. 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— Weekly News Letter. 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 Outstanding!
