Future Prosperity and
Diversification of Crops
Georgia stands second in The pro
duction of cotton. She can hold her
place in the total value of farm crops
if her people profit by the opportun
ities she offers. • Though her planters
may suffer temporary loss by diversi
fication they will more than balance
the account in the increased produc
tion of dairy products, beef and pork,
poultry, peanuts, velvet beans, pota
toes, fruits, vegetables and cereals.
Evaporated Fruits
and Vegetables
'Vliss Lois Dowdle, Assistant State Su
pervisor Home Economics.
The can shortage this year threat
ens to be acute, large manufacturers
claiming a shortage of 100,000,000. Un
der ordinary circumstances it would
be possible for a family to can suf
cient fruits and vegetables for their
own use. Urns liberating the supply
from the packers for shipment to the
allies. Home canning now seems to
be out of the question and the prob
lem is how to best preserve foods for
winter use. The solution is the home
evaporator. All kinds of vegetables, in
cluding potatoes, beans, corn, peas,
pumpkin and the more delicate root
crops may be dried, in which eondi
iion this material will keep indefinite
ly. Evaporated vegetables and fruits,
when properly prepared, are more pal
atable and nutritious than canned
goods. In addition there is the lower
cost of preparation and the ease of
storing over winter. A home evapora
tor may be made by any one who
knows how to handle "carpenter tools
and at a very low first cost. Plans
for construction and directions for
evaporation may be had from your
Canning Club Agent. Make it a point
to see her at once.

Calomel salivates! It’s mercury. ,
Calomel acts like dynamite on a
sluggish liver. When calomel comes
into contact with sour bile it crash
es into it, causing cramping and
nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con
stipated and all knocked out,'just go
to your druggist and get a 50 cent
bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone,
'vhich is a lyarmless vegetable sub
stitute for dangerous calomel. Take
a spoonful and if it doesn’t start
your liver and straighten you up
better and quicker than nasty cal
omel and without making you sick,
you just go back and gel your
money.
If you take calomel today you’ll
be sick and nauseated tomorrow”
besides, it may salivate you, while
If you take Dodson’s Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full of

j Daughter Was Always Delicate
Until She Began Taking l anlac
•Tin certainly very thanktul tor
v.hat Tanlac has done for my little
daughter," said Mrs. .1. I’. YVestbi'ooks,
>vho lives at 2608 Thirtieth avenue,
North Birmingham. "My daughter,
\nsel, who is eleven years of age, lias
been a sufferer from Indigestion and
pains in her shoulders and iu her
chest for a long, long time; in fact, all
her life. We have tried many doctors
i cod most everything we could of,
but they did not bring her any relier.
' “She was so nervous and unstrung
and so run-down that I don’t believe
.-lie could have gone through the win
ter. She couldn’t eat hardly anything
ct all, apd sleep was impossible foi
her, and it was pitiful to see her in
(hat condition, and to think, too, tha\
we had done everything we could with
out any benefits from it. Especially in
the summer months she would get in
a very run-down condition, and. would
! se weight, and you can see that she
hasn’t any too much weight to lose.
I had read in the papers about Tan
lac, and a neighbor who had taken it
insisted that I get a bottle and give it
to Ansel. After a lot of persuasion 1
bought a bottle and put her right on
it. aftd it looked like from the first
half of the bottle that it was the very
thing she had needed. She has taken
three bottles now, and 1 am certainly
thankful for what it has done for her.
She sleeps just as well as could be at
l ight, and eats everything she wants
She was eating popcorn and bananas
vesterday, and they did not seem to
Lave any bad effect on ner at all. She
has gained a little in weight, and I
believe that now she is eating and
the food seems to thoroughly agree
v.ith her that she will gain steadily.
“She does not seem to be a bit ner
vous, and doesn’t object to taking the
Tanlac one bit. She is just as bright
and cheerful as she can be, and it has
made ns all mighty happy about her
recovery, and we are all glad to recom
mend Tanlac as being the medicine
that has done what lots of other medi
cines failed to do. I am glad to say
a good word for it, and tell others of
its merits.”
Miss Ansel Westbrooks w-as in the
room at the time, and remarked: “If
I had a thousand dollars I w-ould spend
it all for Tanlac, because I feel so good
and eat anything I want and can
sleep so good and sound at night.”

Food Requirements Of
The People of Georgia
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia State College of Agriculture.
In order to properly appreciate the seriousness of the present situa ion,
It is well to consider the annual consumption of foods by the population
of Georgia, numbering 2,7oo,oopersons.or 540,000 families of five each.
The consumption of wheat flour has increased rapid). during the past five
years and some allowance must be made in the following figures. For
instance, if the per capita consumption of flour is four bai l els. tl e amount
of wheat required will be 9,53,t)00 bushels, if six barrels (which is nearer
ihe present consumption), the total wheat consumed will be 50 per cent
greater.
Food Consumed Annually By 540,000 Families
Requirements Produced in
based on ration. 1016.
Wheat 9,536,000 bushels 3,808,000 bushels
Corn V‘ bushels 64,000,000 bushels
Potatoes, Irish 18,750,000 bushels 1,000,000 bushels
Potatoes, Sweet 18,750,000 bushels 7,800,000 bushels
Fruit., all kinds 7,500,000 bushels 4,482,000 bushels
Eggs 135,000,000 dozen 35,000,000 dozen
Milk, including butter 393,120,000 gallons 100,000,000 gallons
Meats, all kinds 687,600,000 pounds 310,000,000 pounds
Syrup, cane arid sorghum 13,500,000 gallons 10,300,544 gallons
The reader must hear in mind that the above figures represent foods
required for human consumption only. In addition there must be sufficient
grain aud forage to suppply the requirements of 4,135,000 head of domestic
stock within the state. The corn surplus of between fifty and sixty million
bushels is not sufficieint for stock feeding purposes, hence 36,000,000 bushels
additional must be grown in Georgia this year to supply the full require
ments of the state and thus offset the reduction in grain acreage due to
the February fieeze. In all other commodities the production is far below
the requirements of our population. This shortage must be eliminated
through the adoption of intensive methods of farm management and the
utilization of all lands fit for agricultural puri-oses.
Public Abattoirs As An Aid
In Marketing Live Stock
Many cities, especially in the South,
either own or control public abattoirs,
thus providing for centralized slaugh
tering of live stock under sanitary con
ditions and proper inspection. ‘Often
there is operated a cold storage plant
in connection with the abattoir where
meat may be cured. Farmers in the
neighborhood are in this way given
Corn Is King
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia State College of Agriculture
For the period of the war, cotton is dethroned and corn is crowned —
we must have our “pork and hominy” if we’re going to keep up our end of
the load. There is considerable cause for alarm when we realize that the
state fares a deficit of 15,0<H),<Mt0 bushels of corn—that is, unless the farm
ers of tiie Staff increase The acreage very materially. The responsibility,
however, is not altogether on Ihe farmer hut on Use business man also. There
must be a change in the credit system. The deficit in wheat amounts to
7,000,00 c bushels : and in oats, to 5,654,785 bushels. In order to balance the
shortage of former years ii will be necessary for the farmers of Georgia to
grow this year approximately 100,000,001) bushels of corn. This will neces
sitate a considerable increase in the acreage, a considerable expenditure for
fertilizers, the growing of velvet beans in the corn, and the making of corn
a major instead of one of the secondary and supplementary crops. It Is
finite possible to increase the yield of com in Georgia by 34x000,000 bushels
ibis year if the farmers and business men realize in time the seriousness
of the situation Corn and velvet beans can be planted in Georgia until July
1. Let us realize our duty and responsibility in this direction, thus solving
one Pfystse of Ihe food problem which is perhaps the most serious and diffi
cult with which we have to contend. With plenty of “pork and hominy” for
the boys at the front and sufficient to go around for the folks at home, we’ll
win the war.
Is Your County Organized
To Do Its “Bit" In
Winning the War?
Andrew M. Soule. President Georgia
State College of Agriculture
In each county there should be a
representative executive committee to
direct the work, of which the County
Demonstration Agent should be an ex
officio member (since he represents
both tlie State College of Agriculture
and United States Department of
Agriculturet. This committee should
have a representative of every interest
in the county, and should consist of
from seven in'twelve members. Its

♦ Weevil Control
J„ G ©liver, Field Agent.
Rapid, shallow cultivation is necessary in pushing rhe development.of
rotttmi so that a good bottom and middleVrop may be achieved before the
miirraloiv period of ihe 801 l Weevil, about August 1. The fertilizers should
have been mixed wit li the soil at or before the time of planting although
a top dressing may be applied as late as July 1. Keep the plants green
and fruiting until October, ihtts furnishing squares for the weevil’s food
supply and he will not attack the bolls until laler. Keep in mind: first,
seed selection front early maturing sorts: second, rapid, shallow cultivation.
Naturally, the two-horse cultivator is much more efficient than the onr
horse; besides conserving energy and time.
Pick and burn the infested squares once a week until tlie middle of
July. This is imperative.
There are many devices on the market for destroying the weevil. The
College of Agriculture makes a standing offer t test out any such inven
tion. Do not buy any such device before seeing your demonstration agent.
Not Wheat But
Potatoes the Staff Of Life
The experience of European belliger
ents in the present war proves the
statement that “the potato is the staff
of life,’’ since people have worked and
fought on a diet of meat and potatoes.
Even before the war the chief diet of
many peasants consisted of potatoes.
Georgia shows a marked deficit in the
production of this valuable crop. In
fact the requirements, in Irish pota
toes exceeds the annual production by
17.750,000 bushels.* of sweet potatoes,
by 10.950,000 bushels. The farmers
of the state can easily treble or qua
excellent facilities for slaughtering and
curing at a very nominal charge ($1.25
per head for cattle; $.75 per head for
sheep, hogs, etc.), thus enabling them
to dispose of their hogs in the form
of cured meat. Naturally the market
ing of cured meats is not only a sim
pler undertaking, but is more profitable
than marketing on the hoof. Seventeen
cities in the South own or control mu
nicipal abattoirs; there should be such
a plant in every co-unty. Let the busi
ness men of the county provide the
market: the farmers will produce the
live stock '
eliminated, food crops saved and ani
mal production stimulated.
In order to keep the. people inform
ed there may be a Publicity Commit
tee, whose duty it will be to spread in
formation through the press or by
circular letters. This committee
should keep in touch with the College
of Agriculture and the Department of
Agriculture at Washington. In fact,
there is no reason why this commit
tee constitute a bureau of
information.
In addition there may be a number
of other committees whose work will
lie quite specialized. In each commun
ity there should be a Committee on
Marketing, whose duty if will be to
gather information as to shipping fa-'
cilities and possible outside markets
for surplus products. In every town
there should be a Committee on Gar
dens, whose work it will be to stim
ulate interest in home and' school gar
dens, to supply information as to
where seeds and plants may be ob
tained, and to encourage the utiliza
tion of idle lots.
