Food Crop Schedule.
The following general food and feed
j crops for both man and beast may be
grown'under field conditions in the
northern and southern parts of the
state respectively. Some idea of the
comparatively small amount of food
crops of the different sorts now pro
duced may be gathered from the fig
ures which accompany this report.
There is no reason, for instance, why
the area devoted to any of .the these
crops should not be greatly increased
the present season, thereby adding
very materially to our food supplies,
in this way, also, we would be able to
live at home and to save and keep
within the state the larger part of the
money now- obtained from cotton but
sent elsewhere for food stuffs, which
under war conditions the other sec
tions of the country canot. well afford
to spare.

SECOND CALL ISSUED
TO FARMERS OF STATE.
Jenkinsburg, Ga., April 18. —Presi-
dent J, H. Mills of the Farmers’ Union
of Georgia today issued a second call
to the farmers of the slate to lay aside
other business the first two days of
next month and attend the state meet
ing of the Farmers’ Union to be held
iu Atlanta in the House of Representa
tives at the capitol. Because of the
gravely important international de
velopments since the first call for the
state meeting, he now especially urges
that all farmers and as many of the
business men of the state as passible,
who are in sympathy with conditions,
attend the meeting also. The call is
as follows:
'‘To the Farmers of Georgia, and ‘the
Man Behind the Plow’ Generally:
“Since the announcement several
weeks ago and the call to the members
o! the Farmers’ Union of Georgia to
attend a state meeting in Atlanta May
1 and 2, developments in our national
and international affairs have been
such that the agricultural people of
our state are now confronted with the
most gravely important responsibility
that has ever rested upon our shoul
ders. .The -spread of the boll weevil
over our lands brought to ne
cessity of substituting other crops for
cotton. That problem we were about
to solve or were solving, and with this
came the necessity of finding the an
swer for the question of adequate and
proper marketing facilities and meth
ods for the diversified crops, which we
are yet confronting in the shape of an
advantageous and workable Market
ing System for the farm products of
Georgia. To this now has been added
the problem of food supply, the pro
duction of a sufficiency of feed-stuffs
and an adequate general system by
which we can handle and dispose of
our products at reasonable prices.
“We want and must have the opin
ion of our farmers generally on these
and other important questions now be
fore us and which will come upon us
before the end of the ensuing crop
period. We can get that only by meet
ing together and going over our situa
tions. Arrangements havq beou lnade
with some of the foremost agricultural
minds and experts in the country to
be with us on May 1 and 2. Addresses
will be made by J. J. Drown, commis
sioner of agriculture of Georgia; Harry
D Wilson, commissioner of agriculture
of Louisiana, and L. M. Rhodes, of
Tennessee, one of the leading speak
ers on agricultural subjects In the
United States. All members of the
Farmers’ Union of Georgia are, there
fore, hereby called upon to,- just as
fully as possible, lay aside other busi
ness on those days and attend the
state meeting in Atlanta; participate
in its deliberations and give the bene
fit of your opinion and knowledge. In
behalf of the Farmers’ Vnion we earn
estly call upon and extend an invita
t:on to all farmers and business men
of the state who are in sympathy with
us in these efforts to meet with us.
“Reduced fares have been offered
pn all the railroads.
“J. H. MILLS, President,
“Farmers’ Union of Georgia.
“ANDREW J. FLEMING,
‘‘Secretary and Treasurer.”
Announcement of the place of meet
ing and the list of speakers will be
made by President Mills next week,
r-ach local organization throughout
the state is especially urged by Presi
dent Mills to notify Secretary Fleming
a r Jenkinsburg, Ga., at once how many
delegates it will send and, if possible,
v ho the delegates are to be.

A Reliable Remedy for
Kidneys and Bladder
Foley Kidney Pills Also Do
Remarkable Work Where
There Are Urinary
Irregularities
Irregular, painful bladder action
is another convincing evidence of
kidney trouble. The urine becomes
concentrated, causing great irrita
bility of the bladder. There is a de
sire to pass water frequently with a
painful burning sensation. This ir
regularity becomes a serious nuisance
at night, causing loss of rest and
sleep to one already weakened by
kidney trouble. There is also the
added danger of chilling the body, a
condition to be very carefully avoided
at such a time.
Foley Kidney Pills control this
situation promptly and effectively.
They cause a normal, healthy flow,
relieving the concentrated condition
that produced the Irritability and
burning sensation. The bladder ac
tion is regulated to avoid the too
frequent calls, and easy restful
nights, without pain or backache,
without !os£ of sleep or bad dreams,
is a quick result.

Mr. J. M. Hayes of Spring Place,
Ga., R. F. D. No. 3, writes us: ‘‘l suf
fered with a terrible backache in the
small of my back, and urinating was
irregular and excessive in quantity.
It was very red and I suffered a ter
rible stinging and burning sensation.
1 could hardly stoop over and it 'in
terfered with my work. I began tak
ing Foley Kidney Pills, and after
awhile my urine became regular, the
stinging and burning stopped, and my
backache disappeared entirely."

where in 50c and SI.OO sizes. The
SI.OO size is the more economical buy,
as it contains 2Vi times as many as
