Commissioner Price Offers [Plan
to Aid the Farmers.
Atlantn Constitution.
linn. .). D. Price, Commissioner nf
Agriculture, in the following card) an
nounces that he is taking the matter
up of getting manufacturers nf fer
tilizers, feedstulfs, poultry feed and
others to use cotton bagging and sacks
for sacking their products. Mr. Price
points out that lLJ,r>()(),00<) sacks of fer
tilizer pass through his office, weighing
2.1,000,000 pounds, or an equivalent of
50,0110 hales of cotton, 500 pounds each.
At III cents a pound this would bring
.$2,500,000,
"As Commissioner of Agriculture of
the second cotton-growing State of the
Union; tut an individual funner; as a
citizen living in the very heart of the
cotton producing section of the world,
I am heart and soul interested in the
welfare, well-being and progress of my
State and section, especially the agri
cultural interests.
“During the present cotton situation
I, like every other interested citizen,
have employed all the wits at my com
mand in trying to work out a solution
for good, and have the following to
offer, which in no way interferes with
any other plan, Imt will add to them;
"Through my office passes annually,
(bused on l’.tpi Pt and I ill",-It seasons,)
the muufaeture and sale for and to the
people in Georgia alone, 1,‘250,000 tons
of fertilizer in sacks of ‘200 pounds
each, which makes 12,SOU,000 sacks,
each empty sack weighing two peunds,
or '25,000,000 pounds, equaling the
weight of 50,000 bales of cotton of 500
pounds each, which if sold at 10 cents
per pound would bring $2,500,000; 123,-
000 tons of cotton seed meal is manufac
tured and sold in Georgia each year,
using 20 sacks to the ton, or 2,400,000
sacks, each empty sack weighing one
pound each, equaling the weight of 4,020
bales of cotton weighing 500 pounds
each, which if sold at 10 cents per
pound would bring $240,000; 175,000
tons of feeding stuff' and poultry feed
sold in Georgia each year, using 20
sacks to tho ton, each sack weighing
one pound or .'1,500,000 pounds, equaling
7,000 bales of cotton weighing 500 pounds
each, which, if sold at 10 cents per
pound, would bring $1150,000.
"These three items which pass
through my office, if cotton bags were
used instead of jute, would dispose of
til.920 bales of cotton, which, at 10
cents per pound, would bring$4,095,000.
"The United States does not produce
any jute. Georgia produces cotton.
Why not use cotton bugs, which will
adequately answer the purpose and at
comparatively the same cost, or nearly
80?
Gov. Slaton Urges a Mass Meet
ing in Every County.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. ID.—Gov. Slaton
issued a proclamation to-day calling on
each county in the State to hold a mass
meeting on Saturday, Oct. 21, in which
farmers, bankers, merchants ami busi
ness men generally should take part, to
he held at each county-seat.
He urges the farmers to enter into
written pledges not to plant more than
half of this year’s cotton acreage for
next year, arguing that this kind of in
dividual and voluntary action will go
further in solving present problems
than all the legislation that could be
passed.
He also urges bankers and merchants
to pledge themselves to withhold finan
cial support from all farmers who will
not enter into and abide by this agree
ment to cut cotton acreage one-half in
1915.
The proclamation is as follows;
“Whereas, The world-wide war has
to a great extent destroyed the market
for cotton, thereby indicting upon our
section a Mow such as it has not expe
rienced since the Civil War; and
"Whereas, It is universally agreed
that it would he suicidal for our far
mers to continue the planting of cotton
to the exclusion of food crops; and
"Whereas, Crop reduction may be
brought about only by free co-operation
among the representative classes of our
community, rather than by legislative
action which would imperil our Consti
tutional liberties; and
"Whereas, The Southeastern Food
Crop Conference has suggested that
mass meetings Le held in every cotton-
producing coilnty on Saturday, Oct. 24,
to organize the farmers and business
men in a joint effort to decrease cotton
production, increase food crops, pre
pare for financing and marketing the
same, and for the general welfare.
"Now, therefore, 1, John M. Slaton,
Governor of the State of Georgia, being
in strong sympathy with this move
ment, and wishing to give it. all the of
ficial encouragement within my power,
do hereby designate Saturday, Oct. 24,
for such mass meetings to be held in
the various county sites of this State.
I suggest that the Ordinaries of the re
spective counties act as chairman of the
committee on preparation, naming such
associates as they see lit. 1 urge that
all classes lend a hand in making these
meetings a success- farmers, bankers,
merchants and lawyers.
“Cotton-growers should he pledged to
reduce the acreage planted to at least
one-half the present planting and en
large the food crops.
" Merchants and hankers should co
operate by pledging themselve to lend
credit and financial assistance only to
such farmers as will agree to sard acre
age reduction. Lawyers can assist in
the preparation of sueii contracts be
tween the parties concerned as will he
legally binding.
“The people of the great State of
Georgia have never yet been found
wanting in the hour of peril. It re
quires courage, patience, self-reliance
and mutual helpfulness to meet the
present crisis. I know that our citizens
possess these qualities to an eminent
deg ree.
"Let us all unite to preserve our dear
Southland from the disaster that men
aces it, and insure to our children a
more abundant prosperity than we have
ever known.

of this office this, the 15th day of Octo
ber. 1914. John M. Slaton,

"Add to this the covering of prac
tically 2,000,000 bales of cotton pro
duced by Georgia annually, which is
now covered with jute—not considering
rice, sugar, potatoes, beans, peas,
grain, etc , coming into Georgia in jute
bags—and every farmer would have a
market for his cotton, every cotton
mill in this Union would run twenty-
four hours every day instead of twelve
hours or less; every man now out of
employment would have a job, and we
would all have cause to he happy.

as well as the consumers, and appeal
to overv ono ol you with all the sin-
centy of mv being to give it careful

A Wise Landlord’a Plan.
Macon T» leftrnpH,
The attention of The Telegraph has
been called to the wise plan which Land
lord R. L. Williams, of Monroe county,
has adopted in dealing with his tenants.
Mr. Williams’land is divided into tracts
which rent for $100 per annum for each |
tract. This is equivalent to about two
hales of cotton under the old tenant
system. But Mr. Williams is changing
his plan for the future. Hereafter he
will require his rents paid in food crops,

That Did Me So Much
Good as That I Spent for
Vino!.”
as follows:
50 bushels of corn $50
15 bushels of wheat 16
:) bushels of peas. 5
100 pounds of meat.. .. 15
15 bushels of potatoes 15
Total rent Slut)
Mr. Williams will not take cotten for
rent and will discourage his tenants in
planting it except in a very limited way.
lie proposes to co-operate with his ten
ants in raising their food crops with a
view to raising the best qualities from
selected seed, so that there wdl be no
question about finding an open market
for all of the stuff they can possibly
raise.
And this wise landlord expects a num
ber of good results from the change in
his plans. He expects to get better
profits from their year’s work. He ex
pects his land to be materially improved
by the chemical change which it will un
dergo in feeding other plants and in draw
ing nutriment from these food crops.
Food crops, be it remembered, give
nourishment to the famished soil just
as they do to the hungry human being.
They supply much of the substance
which has been,consumed in producing
cotton.
It is to he hoped that the plan which
Mr. Williams has adopted will be fol
lowed generally by landlords In Georgia.
It is the wise thing for them to do. It
is a system which conform) to nature’s
laws, and he who conforms to those
laws is building his house upon a rock.
The violator of those laws builds upon
the sand—as every storm in the indus
trial and commercial world has so plain
ly shown.

Pellagra Conquered ?
PittBburg Dispatch.
Pellagra, the dread and mysterious
disease, supposed by some to have been
imported from Southern Europe, by
others to be due to eating spoiled corn,
or to chemicals in the water, and which
has ravaged the South for several
years, is now reported by the public
health service to be easily curable. It
is, it is said, caused by diet and can be
cured by diet.
The disease has puzzled medical
science for centuries. It has been

tired, weak, nervous woman could have
Vinol for I never spent any money in
my life that did mo so much good as
that I spent for Vinol. My nerves wero
in a very bad condition, making me very
weak, tired, and worn wt and often
drowsy headaches. I had tried cod
liver oil, doctor’s medicines, and other
preparations without benefit.
“One day a friend asked me to try 1
Vinol. I did and soon my appetite in

housework with pleasure.’’-Mrs. J. F.
Lamborn, Ballefontaine, Ohio.
Nervous, weak, tired, worn-out wo
men should take Mrs. Lamborn’s advice
and try Vinol for there are literally
thousands of men and women who were
formerly run-down, weak and nervous,
who owe their good health to Vinol.
It is the medicinal, tissue building ele

blood making, strengthening influence
of tonic iron, contained in Vinol, which
makes it so efficient in all such cases.

A Picture of Home Life.
Comanche (Tex.) Chief.
I saw a young man, handsome and
resolute, and a young woman, queenly
and charming, leave the marriage altar
in a shower of good wishes, and repair
to the sacred shade of their little nest
behind the trellised honeysuckle. I
saw them with leaping hearts beautify
it and fill it through and through with
love and love’s ecstatic tokens. I
heard their songs and merry-making
and futu-e planning, and I thought they
were happy in the instinct of love and
nest-making. A little later I heard
the clarion chant of their first born,
herald of the keenest joys and bitterest
griefs that ever stimulated or de
pressed the human heart. I saw the
light of a new experience in the pa
rental eyes, the glow of divinity, the
ecstacy of heaven. I saw the happy
home nest peopled with cherub faces,
and alive with chubby palms, and the
white dove of joy and peace hovered
reverentially over the hallowed scene.
1 saw the crimson turn to gray on the
cheeks of the mother and the face of
the father tattooed by the chisel of
care. I saw the children grow into
ripe maturity under the warm seasons
of parental love, and strenuous man
hood and charming womanhood going
in and out with golden sheaves of
promise. And then I saw the instinct
of mating and nesting rise like a tide
in the pulsing channels, and the kisses of
adieu, as one by one they left the home
nest to find a home tree of their own
specially prevalent in the countries
bordering on the Mediterranean. The
parasitic theory was held for a long
time, but without definite results. It
is now announced by the public health
service that pellagra has been proved
to be neither infectious nor contagious,
hut dietary in origin. A generous diet
and rest will effect a speedy cure.
It has been noticed that the victims
were usually in districts where the
standard of living was low. This gave
rise to the theory of its origin in spoiled
corn. Within a year investigators
have reported that it was due to the
composition of drinking water in cer
tain places, but this was offset by
equally positive assertions that it was
beyond doubt parasitic. The standing
of the public health service and the
positive character of its announcement
gives greater hope that the origin and
cure of the disease have been discover
ed.

and a nest of their own in its sacred
shade. 1 saw the old couple once again
alone as they began, but broken in
spirit and sorrowful in their desolotion.
Why Not Publish It ?
When you want a fact to become
generally known, the right way is to
publish it. Mrs. Joseph Kallas, Peru,
Ind., was troubled with belching, sour
stomach and frequent headaches. She
writes, "I feel it my duty to tell others
what Chamberlain’s Tablets have done
for me. They have helped my diges
tion and regulated my bowels. Since
using them I have been entirely well."
