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.

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.

GIVE US A TRIAL Telephone 28 Cartersville, Ga. 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.

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.
