PROMINENT BANKER SAYS PLANT FOOD STUFFS. Alerter lately sent out by Mr. S. J. Clrttir, president of Par rWtt,,Ga., to* the patron# of the bank and the “people at home - ’ is so timely that it* is here reproduced in order ifcat ifs- message and Its rfpplicacth.il may be experienced by us. On the face of the letter or bulletin appears the statement which must find an echo ;ii the hearts of all, "The Dollar that gees the farthest is the Dollar that stays at Dome.” In its analysis this is one of the teachings of the doctrine to plant more food stuffs. Mr. Carter’s letter, which found its way into the hands of a friend of the vriter, who, in turn, furnished it to The Tribune-News, is as follows: * To our Customers and the Public: ‘Unusual conditions which involve the welfare of the country, influence the ending of this bulletin. The war j in Europe during its first several 1 months almost destroyed the cotton makc-t, putting down the price below tlie cost of production. Our country is now threatened with a war of its own that may seriously affect the price of cotton. ' The cost of food products has been steadily rising for nearly three years aim the prospect that they will still j be higher before the end of the pres ■ ent year. If war between the Unite !

Men best prepared to .-peak with authority on the subject a ; sr.r© us positively that a very large portion of Georgia will be widely and seriously infected and the yield of cot ton for 1917 greatly diminished. ’Values are relative. Compare the piesent price of cotton, and the pres ent price of food stuffs, with the reia ive prices of these products three years ago. It will then be found that while cotton seems higher when reck oned in money, it is lower measured in its power to purchase food products. It is well for everybody to calmly and cautiously consider the welfare of themselves and their, families - am! communities. The safe side is for the people of Georgia to prepare to feed themselves out’of the soil of Georgia. Ir is fhe best defense both in war and peace. Our people can hardly afford tc- trust the one crop of cotton to buy food supplies under such threatening conditions, even if the present price of cotton should continue, or increase. THE BARTOW TRIBUNE-THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS, MAY 3, 1917. The risk is too great. There was a time when Georgia, produced all il* staple supplier, like corn, wheat, hogs, cattle, butter and packing house pro ducts/ and it is bdth possible and pru dent for us to again supply our needs. “We earnestly urge that every farm er estimate ihe food supplies he will need for himself and his live, sfqck, and then plant a little more than he reeds, for emergencies, and some to sell. “We earnestly urge every owner of a vacant town lot, or an otherwise un used back yard, to put this idle land into garden or truck for domestic use of the owner or tenant, or to supply the local markets. Those who have no vacant town lots of their own can, no doifht in most every case, rent vacant 1 is for a small or moderate sum. "Let the year 1917 be the beginning pi a united movement among the peo ple of Georgia to produce at home, to encourage home industries by buying rr home where it is practical to do so. r.’i’d to build up a spirit of thrift, which, after all, is the best plan of preparedness. “Your very truly, “S. T. CARTER, President.” County Home Demonstration Department By MISS JESSIE BURTON ’ Athens, Ga,, April 24, 4917. Not only will Georgia be short of the food supplies, such as corn, wheat and vegetables, but the meat supply will be very low and no doubt will be the hardest of the food problems to solve. Protein, the chief source of which is in meat, is very essential in the dietary of the entire farm family. As there are lint a few months to prepare, makes it almost impossible L get a meat supply from any other source than that of poultfv The meat problem can be partly Life Was a Misery Mrs. F. M. Jones, of Palmer, Okla., writes: “From the time I en tered into womanhood ... I looked with dread from one month to the next. I suffered with my back and bearing-down pain, until life to me was a misery. 1 would think 1 could not endure the pain any longer, and 1 gradually got worse. * . Nothing seemed to help me until, one day, . . . i decided to TAKE The Woman’s Tonic “ 1 took four bottles,” Mrs. Jones goes on to j say, “and was not only greatly relieved, but can truthfully say that I have j not a pain. . . “It has now been two I years since 1 tookCardui, and 1 am still in good health. . . i would ad vise any woman or girl to use Cardui who is a sufferer from any female trouble*” If you suffer pain caused from womanly trouble, or if you feel the need of a good strengthening tonic to build upyour run-down system, take the advice of Mrs. Jones. Try Car dui. It helped her. We believe it will help you. All Druggists ]. 68 solved from the standpoint of poultry U, three different ways; namely, pre .j&rving eggs, a greater production of winter eggs afcd a larger production If poultry for meat. Eggs can be preserved by means of water-glass and each farm should put ,r P at least 30 dozen-by thi) method. I The problem of winter eggs can only l-e solved by what has already been done, namely, by saving ail the early hatched pullets (chicks hatched in February, March and April). At least :,D mature pullets should be kept by each farmer this winter for egg pro duction. Hens shou'ld lie set through the rest of the spring and summer, jp tha£ a constant supply of friers and cooking chickens can be had this fall and win ter.

Very truly yours, W. H. ALLEN, Field Agent in Poultry Husbandry. Our nation faces a food shortage. It | behooves every one of us to do our j patriotic part in production and con ! servation of foods raised and con | sumed at home. One of the greatest | f ads of the American people is milk i lie! milk products. The south is very j Pi ficient In these and should be doing : her duty in promoting greater produc i: and use of delicious, nourishing . and economical food. Feed prices have increased enor : moiis'iy. Milk prices are about the san: It is the producer’s duty to grow more feed and keep better cows. He should disregard high prices and de mand'- for milk cows and keep what he has. It is the consumer’s duty to inform himself as to the great food value of milk, cheese, butter and ice cream and be willing to submit to a slight increase in cost should it be asked. An enlightened public will glad ly pay a just price. The National Dairy Council says: “A wider use of dairy products on the tables and kitchen; of our American homes will mean a healthier and cheaper fed nation, in fant mortality and other physical ills being checked, reduced and wiped out.” Yours for more and better foods and j dairying in the south, W.
