OUR IMPERATIVE DUTY.
A subject which has been brought
vividly to view within the last few
•days has been that relating to the need
of food crops throughout the south,
and particularly in Georgia. The na
tion being in a state of war with Ger
many and the need of ample food fa
cilities admittedly one of the neces
sary elements to insure success, pa
triotic Americans everywhere are ap
pealing to everyone to do all they can
toward raising food stuffs for man
and beast.
Ever since the world began, nations
felt themselves not equipped for war
unless there was stored within it food
stuffs to meet the period of time they
would be engaged in war. It was thus
the old ancient nations provided
themselves against such calamities.
We are told in the scriptures that the
ancient Judeans and all the tribes
about them placed their surplus of
giain, cereals and food stuffs in gran
aries as provision against war and
famine.
The United States has not thus
equipped itself. We are carrying noth
ing into this year. The result is- that
food stuffs are rising In value each
day so that already a great proportion
of our population feel the pinch of
high prices. Unless the people of Geor
gia and other southern states do some
thing toward relieving this condition,
we will ourselves be face to face with
a proposition which will cause embar
rassment, even hunger, in many
places.
With moat selling from 22 to 25
cents a pound, Irish jwtatoes more
than four times what they were three
years ago,—even a year ago, can goods
nearly double the price of a year ago,
lflr<l and sugar going up in price daily,
flour more than two and one-half times
"'hat it could be secured for one year
ago, and cabbage and onions practi
cally out of the market, it is little
wonder that the government should
become alarmed and that it should is
sue its warning as well as its call to
the people of the south to do every
thing toward raising a great food crop
this year.
all be of service to our na
tion in our war with Germany if we ;
will but raise enough food products '
to feed ourselves, our armies and our j
friends, the allied nations of Europe 1
who are now engaged in fighting our
battles for us. It has been said, and
truly, that an army travels upon its
stomach, and, being about to put a
million men upon the field of battle,
it is absolutely necessary that we
should laise enough food products to
keep the army fed as* well as the al
lied armies of Europe. It is also nec
essary that we keep our people at
home fed; —we are not doing it now.
The prices of food stuffs are bound to
be out of reach of many pocket books
and, unless more is raised, discontent
v.jll be expressed, strikes and mutiny
will folltfw, and nothing would so en
courage and aid the enemy as the
knowledge that internal troubles have
arisen in our own country.
Appeal has gone forth on the part
of every organization throughout the
nation. The department of agricul
ture at Washington, the department of
agriculture of Georgia, the various
civic organizations of Bartow county,
farm demonstrator, superintendent of
schools and business men, to all citi
zens of Bartow county to enlist and
make themselves soldiers in behalf of
America that the most needed of all
essentials shall be supplied. In this
cause men and women can serve,
school boys in their corn clubs and
pig clubs, school girls in their canning
clubs, poultry clubs and calf clubs;
tbe townman can supply himself with
a garden and can cultivate the adja
cent vacant lot. We hope to be able to
report, within a short length of time,
that Bartow county leads all the rest
in its effort to prove its patriotism and
its good business sense at this period
of our American history.
It is not urged that the growth of
ectton should be abandoned, but that
areas of every farm should be devoted
to the growth of food and forage crops
and for the very good reason that
these are absolutely essential to our
success at this time, and for the added
reason that cotton at twenty cents a
Wound is cheap compared with the
prices tha' f.'oti comm dities t.ro
bi inging and which the cotton farmer
has to pay.
We sincerely trust that there will
arise in Bartow county a response to
this call from our nation’s govern
ment and from our jiatriotic citizens
throughout the land, who, knowing
our condition, have urged us on to
transform our method of farming to
that extent that we can feed ourselves
instead of having to be fed from other
parts of the country.
FAIR PLAY NEEDED.
As frequently noted in these col
umns, a car shortage has existed which
has severely hampered and affected
the movement of commerce in this
section of Georgia, and thus to a
great extent has caused vexations, an
noyance and loss of business through
the inability of our merchants, manu
facturers and miners to secure prompt
iail movement of their products.
The Louisville & Nashville railroad
authorities were appealed to among
others and this railroad came back
with an apparently candid statement
showing by their records that a great
proportion of their box cars and other
equipment was upon rails in the north
and east, and notwithstanding their
application of an energetic effort to
secure the return of this equipment,
they had been, up until the time when
out business men moved in the matter,
unable to get it back within its home
territory. Not only did the railroad
show that ii has app, uled to the of
fending railroads themselves, but to
the commission of car service and to
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
all without avail. Thereupon business
interests along the line of the Louis
ville & Nashville railroad took the
matter up upon their own account and
appealed to the Interstate Commerce
Commission itself for relief, setting
forth that the inability of the Louis
ville & Nashville railroad to secure a
return of its equipment was seriously
interfering with commerce in this sec
tion.
Since this time this railroad has ob
tained some little return of its equip
ment but nothing like what it has and
which should be, or its equivalent, in
motion vii its own rails. In the mean
time, the volume of business lias very
greatly increased with the net result
that the return of equipment has been
so small that the increased business
which the season has brought about
has made the Ixmisville & Nashville
railroad less able now than two months
ago to perform its functions.
We publish, in another column, evi
dence in the form of a letter written
by Mr. G. E. Evans, the fourth vice
president of this railroad, that goes to
show that the railroad company is
still engaged in the effort to secure its
own or some other road’s equipment
tc> take its place. We deem it nothing
hut fair that the attitude of the Louis
ville & Nashville should thus be shown
to the business men of this section of
Georgia, and at the same time to ex
press onr .very great disappointment
that the constituted authorities have
not come to the relief of the people
served by this railroad.
It is within the power of the Inter
state Commerce Commission to force
offending railroads, holding this equip
ment in other territories for their ow r n
convenience and use, to return the
Louisville & Nashville railroad’s prop
erty to it or sufficient of their own to
take its place. Railroads have an
agreement among themselves to thus
return equipment with property of
their own as long as used on foreign
rails, and apparently bad faith is be
ing displayed upon'the part of eastern
and northern railroads who do not
carry into effect this agreement. We
are interested in it only to the extent
that the Louisville & Nashville rail
road be furnished with enough equip
ment to perform its duty to the sec
tion of country through which it exer
cises franchise rights. It appears evi
dent that the Louisville & Nashville
is not only being imposed upon by
other railroads, but that the Interstate
Commerce Commission, having the
needed authority, silently assents to
a continuance of this imposition which
in its effect is a discrimination against
the people whose right it is to expect
service.
Investigation by trades bodies
throughout this section is convincing
that the fault does not lie with the
Louisville & Nashville railroad and,
hence, the burden has shifted in the
direction of other railroad compaines
and the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion.
At this time when the'efforts of a
nation are put forward in a campaign
to get people to grow food stuffs and
to have such food stuffs as is now
needed by this section readily trans
ported, it would seem to be a sacred
responsibility upon the part of those
-to whom the Louisville & Nashville
railroad is making its appeals for re
lief to be responsive to those appeals
or to show some good reason why.
We call attention to Mr. Evan's let
ter In another column of this paper.
By it it appears that Mr, Evans is as
sembling information to furnish to the

commission on car service for the
purpose of showing approximately the
number of car loads of frieght actual
ly awaiting immediate shipment. If
conditions present at Cartersviile pre
vail elsewhere along the line of the
Louisville & Nashville railroad, Mr.
Evans will certainly be able to set
forth a formidable array of figures.
.There is awaiting shipment here a
large amount of -tonnage which he
rnains here for the simple reason that
cars cannot be secured with which to
move it. This necessitates- rehandling
to a large extent at an added cost to
the shipper and, what is yet more, in
terferes with steady traffic and its re
sultant benefits.
Speaking for the business interests
of the territory along the line of the
Ixmisviile & Nashville railroad, we in
sist that it is manifestly unfair that
business interests in other parts of
the country are permitted to use and
to keep equipment bought for this ter
ritory to our very great loss, incon
venience and embarrassment.
THE PROPER COURSE
Information of Priceless Value to Ev

How to act iu an emergency is

CORN SELLING AT $1.72 A BUSHEL
WHOLESALE; WORTH SAVING,
ISN’T IT?
Then feed your work-stock a ration
of COTTON SEED MEAL with Corn.
Dr. Tait Butler says that if you are
feeding your mule 14 pounds of Corn
per day, you can take out four pounds
and put in two pounds of Cotton Seed
Meal and get better results.
Four pounds of Corn is worth 12
cents today. Two pounds of Cotton
Seed Meal is worth 4 cents—a saving
of 8 cents per day on each animal fed.
In 365 days you would save $29.20, if
you put into practice the advice of Dr
Butler, who is conceded to be the
highest authority on feeds and feed
ing. It is as necessary to SAVE as it
is to PRODUCE, and "saving” and
“producing” are the watchwords of
today.
In The Progressive Farmer, March
24th, 1917, Dr. Butler recommends the
following ration for work-stock when
Cotton Seed Meal is used:
“(1) 1 part Cotton Seed Meal by
weight to 5 parts of Corn.
"(2) 1 part Cotton Seed Meal to 4
parts Corn, 4 parts Oats.
“(3) 1 part Cotton Seed Meal to ’0
parts Oats.
"To be fed with usual quantities of
grass-hay, corn-fodder, etc.”
These are war times. Corn is human
food. Better save it.
A pint to a quart of Cotton Seed
Meal fed daily will produce good re
sults.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured*
by local applications, as they cannot roach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only out
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have s
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing) and when
it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition, bear
ing wili be destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing bui
an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
