GEORGIA ( AS RAISE OWN MEAT
Hon. J. D. Price, Commissioner of
Agriculture, is constantly on the look
out for means am) methods calculated
to benefit the fnrmer, and to ndvance
the State’s farming interests along all
practical lines. A farmer himself, he
does not have to be told about the
weak pointH in our system of farming;
—he knows from experience. There
fore, such advice as he offers from
time to time is based upon actual know
ledge thus gained, and ahould be ac
repted at its full value. During recent
months he has given much time and
thought to an investigation of fJeor
gin's sources of food supply, and the
State's resources as well. Speaking
the other day of our enormous con
sumption of meats brought in from the
West, Mr. Price said:
"Georgia can make every pound of
the five to six million pounds of meat
we are now importing into the State
every month, and some to sell be
sides.*"
There is no doubt about the fact
that the animal industry is growing in
Georgia, Commissioner Price declares,
but it ought to come faster. The new
lacking plant just opened at Moultrie
shows that the people are taking hold
of it down in that aection of the State,
and other sections will follow as rapidly
aa there is demand for them.
"Georgia imported 5,373,242 pounds
of meat in January and 5,741,825
pounds in December,” Commissioner
Price said. "I have the actual figures
right before me. Hern is what we
bought in one month, (January,) and a
month of hard times at thsl: Dry salt
meat, 2,493 553 lbs.; packing house
products, ( ncluding sausage, livers,
etc.,) 912 283 lbs.; lard and lard com,
pounds, 574 319 lbs.; hams, 99,753 lbs.;
fresh mutton, 52,529 Ilia. Somebody is
making good money Belling us npprixi-
mately 75.000 000 pounds of meat n
yrnr money that we might easily kt>ep
at home. There aro no better gru/.ing
mngis anywhere thun right here in
C< orgia. Already there are good pack
ing plants in Atlanta, Moultrie and
Augusta, and others will come as soon
is there is s product for them to han
dle. This department is ready to as
sist and co-operate with anyone who
wants to go into cattle and hog raising.
Our Slate Veterinarian, Dr. Hahnsen,
will give his personal attention to any
inquiries upon this line. The oppor
tunity is ripe, and we hope more Geor
gia farmers will take up this impor
tant work.”
WHAT SAVED US.
It was fortunate, indeed, that the
South had already made substantial
progress in tho matter of increasing
the corn and small grain crops and rely
ing leas on cotton.
A prominent business man of New-
nan said the other day it was this in
crease in food crops and meat last year
that saved this section from utter bank
ruptcy. But for this, he believed the
bottom would have dropped out of
everything. If the embarrassment we
have experienced was lessened by this
increase in home-raised grain, the pres
ent situation is an emphatic reason why
all possible attention should be given to
grain arid forage crops the present
year.
With the price of flour mounting
upward every day, and the price of
other provisions a close second, while
the price of cotton is a third less than
it ought to be, Georgia and Coweta
county will he courting bankruptcy, if
not downright starvation, if the old all-
cotton policy should be pursued.
The situation cannot be met by the
remote possibility of an increase in the
price of cotton. This will not come
until the war ends, and heaven only
knows when that will he.
It is a time for the Boys' Corn Clubs
and the Girls' Canning Clubs to get in
their best work.

That ail the world should be at war
except the Cnited States, and this]
country escape complications with the
warring nations, was not within the
circle of probabilities. That this coun
try should become involved it war with
any of the contending powers is not at
all likely. Situations may arise—in
deed, have already arisen —which will
test the forbearance of America and tax
the diplomatic skill of our State De
partment; this was inevitable. That
such questions and complications should
lead to war, need not be apprehended
by nervous people. For one thing,
none of the nations of Euiope want
war with this country. The allies have
all they can attend to right now, and
ao have the Germans. Men and na
tions are not apt to fight when neither
side wants a tight. Nobody wants a
fight with America, and America wants
a fight with nnbodv.
Trouble shies at a good digestion.
If anybody has any doubt about the
reduction of cotton acreage in Georgia
he can easily assure himself by exam
ining tho fertilizer tag record of the
Department of Agriculture. Commis
sioner Price says the department sold
in January, 1915, only 19 per cent, of
the number of inspection tags sold in
January, 1914. In other words, there
iH a loss or deficit of 81 per cent. There
are several reasons for this, and the
chief of them is the farmers are buying
less fertilizers. This means there is
going to be a big reduction in this
year’s cotton yield Even with nearly
us much nen age, the crop will ho cut
way down as I ho result of u?ing so
much less fertil'zor.

Must Make Returns to Revenue Col
lector.
All persons subject to the income
tax, and all corporations, must make
returns to the l'. S. Revenue Collector
by March 1. Failure to comply with
this requirement subjects the delinquent
to a penalty.
A provision of the internal revenue
Act with which niuny taxpayers are
probably not familiar is that which re
quires the posting of the special tax
stamp or license in a conspicuous place,
so that it may he easily observed by the
public. Failure to do this incurs a pen
alty to the amount of the tax. It there
fore behooves all special taxpayers to
post their stamps where they may be
easily seen, aa revenue agents, inspec
tors and deputy collectors are liable to
render reports on failures, and penal
ties will be imposed. This is one of the
important features that should be ob
served by all special taxpayers, includ
ing those paying internal revenue tax
under the Emergency Act, as dealers
in tobacco, or any other occupation for
which a special tax is imposed by the
Government.
The time limit for making the income
tax returns expires March 1, and those
liable under the provisions of the Act
are urged by the authorities to make
returns as early aa possible. All indi
viduals with incomes in excess of $3,000
a year, if single, or $4,000 a year, if
married, are liable to the tax, while
corporations of all kinds are required to
make returns, whether they have made
any earnings or not.

“Suffer the children to come unto Me,”
Were the words of the Savior while dwelling
with men;
“Of such is the kingdom of heaven." said He;
And still from His kimrdom He is calling them in.
He hath called to our darling; love could not hold
her;
With the (Jood Shepherd's (lock He would safely
enfold her;
'Gainst the will of the Lord let us never rebel,
Tho’ our hearts bur.^t with anguish no mortal can
tell.
E’er sii, cant a blight o'er her spirit’s young bloom
Little Edna was wrapped in the veil of the tomb;
Like a ntnr of the night showing bright from the
skies.
Earth may never stain her who was pure to our
eyes.
She is safe from life's sorrows and dangers un
known;
How blest is the thought she’s “ne’er left alone;”
Fond parents, cea.se weeping; tho’ lost to you now.
While the dew ot life .- memory is fresh on her
brow,
Tho dour one looks down on the tears of this world
To the land where the wings of her spirit un

And tenderly waft you a message of love
From her home in ii • Ku gdom of Heaven above.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all its stages,
and that Is catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure now known to the medical fra
ternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease,
requires a constitutional treatment. Hall’s Cn-
tnrrh Cure is tuken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the sys
tem. thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength by build
ing up the constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.
