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. MAYR’S Wonderful Remedy for STOMACH TROUBLE One dose convinces.

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.” Tanlac is sold by Young Bros, in Cartersville, Bowdoin Drug Cos.

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.

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. diuple the present production of Sweet potatoes; only they hesitate be cause they fear they eannot store them successfully. U-uaffy the flue systenr of curing gives very 'good results. White entirely desirable, the small farmer will hardtje be able to erect a curing house, even though the Col lege of Agriculture supplies plans and specifications without cost. Asa mat ter of patriotism and business sagac ity the business men of a community should undertake the erection of large storage houses to take care of the surplus crop of potatoes. Scattered over the state, in every community, there should be storage houses for po tatoes, just as there are buildings for tUo t.oiage of cotton. wheat or corn. * .iF & ' ITFHEREARE 365" 1 INDEPENDENCE DAYS [S |IN EVERY !
