■WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 11, 1918.
MILLEDGEVILLE, GEORGIA,
Fort Wilki.ison Hjs Been Tun.id
Over to }he D. A. k. i or Upkeep
Historic Old Spot Given To Nancy Hart Chapter By Legisla
ture For Preservation And General Care.
'(By MRS. MARY HOWELL SCOTT.)
A bill has been passrd by tbe Gear-
pin I ^gislature giving the Nancy
Hart Chapter cf the National Society
of the Daughters of the American
Revolution the site of old Fort Wil-
Kinson, situated near the State Sani
tarium.
Several months ago a committee
from th; local hapter Daughters of
the American Revolution called up n
Dr. L. M. Jones, superintendent of
the State Sanitarium, and the trus
ters of this institution if they would
he willing to turn over this historic J
site to the Nancy Hart Chapter to (
he cared for and preserved. This re
quest was willingly granted by the
Sanitarium officials and was much ap
preciated by the Daughters of the
American Revolution.
Following the granting of the re
quest by Dr. J-rnes and the Sanitarium
trustees, Representative J. H. Ennis
brought up a bill before the Georgia
Legislature asking that, this spot be
given to the Nancy Hart Chapter
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion, which was passed by both houses
at the last session of the Legislature.
The Nancy Hart Chapter D. A. R. are
due thanks to Mr. I). S. Sanford and
Judges Johnson and Allen for the
irtg a 1. o secure the grant
of this historic rid site.
In tbe changes and chances of thi
mortal I if•=> many important events and
places are overlooked', which is would
be far better if we remembered.
It is one of the duties of the Daugh
ters of the American Revolution to
look nf.er such matters. Fort Wil
kinson was the cutpost of civilization
before the revolution. There the set
tlers fred for refuge from the Indians.
Captain Beckson was in command
there both before and during the revo
lution and there in lStid the great
“Treaty of Limits’’ was signed be
tween the United States and th
Creek Nation of Indians, whereby all
the land west of the Oconee was giv
en to the LTnited States. This tract
embracing not only west. Georgia, but
Al-bama also.
It seems very fitting that in this
eventful year, this historic spot should
pass into safe keeping. The men of
1776 gave their all to gain a free, in
dependent country. All honor to
them, and to their noble sons of 1918,
who in turn are giving their lives to
preserve that country and the world
for righteousness.
In the words of Tiny Tim "God bless
them every one.”
WALTER MAUCK SAID TO
BE MISSING IN ACTION
The casualty list of the American
forces in France, reported Tuesday,
gave the name of Walter Foster Mauck
of Beuna Vista, and a former popular
student of the Georgia Military Col
lege, as being missing in action.
Young Mauck had many friends in
Mllledgeville who will learn with sor
row the sad misfortune of the former
student of the local military college
and hopes are entertained for a more
favorale report as to his condition
and whereabouts.

JUST FOR FUN.
An American woman visiting Ire
land, one who had more money than
brains, being determined to get the
best of everything, started by Icing
Queenstown In .^tyle. Having got off ‘
the boat she hired an outside car *er |
a drive. The rate per hour was Is 6d
fcr the car and Is for the Jarvey The
■woman got up on one side of the car
and the jarvey on the other, driving
sideways, and started off. After a bit
the woman pointed to the empty driv
er’s seat in front and said:
“What is that seat in front for,
young man?”
“Sure, ma’am,” said the wily jarvev,
“that’s what we call the reserved
seat, nicely cushioned, and all that
kind of thing, and is only engaged hv
real aentry; they payin’ for the sani ;
10 shilling and 2 shilling for the driv
er.” The w m - m hastily shifted to
tlio driver’s seat. “You should have
told me that before,” she said: "How
was I, a stranger, to know what was
the proper thing to do over here?”
And she paid 12 shillings for the priv
ilege of riding in the driver's seat, to
the amusement of Queenstown.

LIEUT. CARR IS SENT
TO SPARTANBURG, S.C.
Lieut. Arthur Carr, who was being
transferred from the camp at El Paso,
Texas, to Spartanburg, S. C., came by
and spent the week-end here with his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Carr.
Lieutenant Carr was a member of
the 314th Cavalry and was stationed
at Camp Burney, El Paso, Texas, but
recently his company was ordered to
report for di:ty at Camp Wadsworth,
Spartanburg, S. C., having been trans
ferred from the cavalry to the infantry
department.
The greatest menace to hog produc
tion, not only in Georgia, but in the
United States as a whole, is the ever
present danger of an outbreak of what
known as liog cholera. This is un
doubtedly the most serious disease at
tacking this class of animals, and it
is found in practically all parts of
the world. It has been known In the
United States since 1833. It has
proven very destructive to hog raisers
'in the South.
The losses from hog cholera are
ienormous. Ninety per cent of all the
'swine which die in the United States
succumb to this disease. Wonderful
■progress in hog raising has been made
in Georgia in the last few years, but
even as late as 1917 we ai’e credited
with losing 186,120 hogs from cholera.
If the animals were worth $10.00 apiece
this represents a loss of $1,861,200.
This is a frightful tax to impose on
hog producers. Even if the state were
to appropriate $100,000 a year out of
its general treasury for combatting this
.disease, it would be a cheap invest
ment if $1,700,000 a year could there
fore be added to the revenues of
Georgia farmers. In some years the
loss from cholera in the United States
has amounted to as high as $65,-
000,000.
The symptoms of hog cholera vary.
As a rule, animals sicken rapidly, dead
hogs often being found in the morn
ing among animals which were ap
parently well the night before. Chron
ic cases of the disease may cause the
animals to linger tor weeks and even
months. When cholera begins one or
two animals will refuse to eat and
remain in the nest and, when driven
therefrom, they appear to be cold. As
the disease develops the animals be
come gaunt or tucked up in the flank,
and have a weak and staggering gait.
'The lungs are often affected and, in
.that case, there is a cough. Constipa
tion is usually present in the early
stages followed by a more or less
'violent diarrhoea. As the disease
reaches its height the skin becomes
,red and purple blotches appear upon
'the ears and belly and the inner sur
face of the leg. The temperature of
: affected animals is usually from 1(11
\ti inter Openings
to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, though oc
casionally temperatures of 107 de
grees are met with.
Hog cholera is, of course, spread by
the diseased animals being associated
with the healthy ones, shipment of dis
eased animals from one location to an
other and the transfer of breeding ani
mals or feed hogs in cars which have
not been properly disinfected. Buz
zards and crows may carry the germs.
Drinking water may be a source of
infestation, and persons owning dis
eased animals may carry the germs
on their shoes to adjoining farms. All
these sources of infection must be
rigidly guarded against. In keeping
hog cholera off the farm sanitation is
one of the most important things to
bear in mind. Remember that all dis
eased animals should be immediately
burned or buried to a good depth ;
otherwise, birds and carnivorous ani
mals may spread the disease to a
ruinous extent.
The best method of treating hogs
to protect them against this disease
is through the use of what is 'known
as preventive serum. This is now
manufactured in Georgia by the State
College of Agriculture and delivered
at actual cost of production to the
state veterinarian who, in turn, dis
tributes it to farmers owning infested
herds. Two methods of using the pre
ventive treatment are now followed,
namely, that known as the serum alone
inoculation and the simultaneous treat
ment. The inoculation is done with an
ordinary hypodermic Byringe. The
injection may be made back of the
ear, between the fore leg and the body
or In the flank. The serum alone treat
ment is naturally more commonly
used, as it can be rather easily and
quickly given at a minimum of ex
pense, and proves fairly effective in
cases of hogs which are only being
kept long enough to finish them for
slaughter. In other words, the serum
alone treatment is recommended In the
early stages of the disease, for the
treatment of hogs which need protec
tion for only a short time, and for
use In cases of very young pigs. The
simultaneous treatment should be used
with breeding animals and those of
high quality.
New York, September 10.—There is
one consolation that always ronitJ
with the presentation of winter styles
in summer weather. Just think of
the deliciously cold teniparature in
store. That is a relief, isn’t it ? It

ly to actually visualize ourselves in
liese cl-thes, and then we feel thd
atmosphere that conies with them.
So you see winter openings in the
neat of summer aro really worth while.
terity of the create it slyly creeps
up to the waistline, turns over to show
its contrasting lining, and modestly
retreats again with the line of the
skirt and lo! we have a girdle and
thereupon tack some gorgeous black
silk fringe to give it the desired fin
ish. And I assure you it. is the secret
of the designer not to be penetrated
this capricious something which -ive
must term a tunic. The majority of
the tvinics when undraped are quite
long, some even extend to the hem
of the skirt. The one illustrated here
is of the panel variety and is in one
piece from the shoulder to the hem.
It is developed in satin and serge.
Appreciation of Separate Blouse.
At last women have found a place
for the much neglected separate
blouse. Probably it is ilie Georgette
that fascinates. Fcr since this fabric
has been used the supply of blouses
runs far beiow the demand. How al
luring is a thin, dainty, faintly tinted
blouse with a velvet skirt. The dis
tinct contrast emphasizes the sheer-
■iess of the blovse and doubles its at
tractive appeal.

dence and careful reflection for all

A Variety of Sleeves.
With elaborate simplicity of the
dresses, suits and coats still the most
sought after feature, some little
i ouch is necessary to give the desired
distinction to each individual gar
ment. So the sleeve or the panel or
the waistline must be given some un
usual role to play, and In spite of the
similarly -of line, every (design is
different, so different from another
which is so much like it. The long
bell sleeve is one of the most favored
of the new offerings. Graceful in it
self, it lends a dignified charm to the
severely plain and otherwise ordinary
costume. Sometimes the're are tiny
bias ruffles at the edge, and this style
we leave for the young coquette who
wears it so well and looks at her very
hear in a dress that has just such a
sleeve. The long, tight dart-fitted
sleeve is still the matron’s and older
woman’s delight for it carries with
It a certain smartness which is the
aspiration of the fair sex.
Just a tunic! But the hand of the
artist shapes it into a subtle some
thing which is ours to gaze on- not

The Separate Skirt and Blouae.
The jumper effect is very popular
for suit or dress wear. One of the
shops Is showing a charming little
model in this style. The blouse itself
is beige with the front and back over
piece cf vloiet. By slitting the over
piece In front so that it hangs in two
points over the skirt the blouse is
instantly made different.
A Word About Skirts.
Is necessary when speaking of sepa
rate blouses. There is not of course
the wide selection that there Is in the
blouses to chose from, hut still each
retains some characteristic which sets
it apart from all others. Some very
good-looking sports skirts are of plai 1

j ation for sports or street wear. The
belt and novelty pockets are worthy

LOOit OUT FOR THE ARM! WORM!
Atlanta, Ga., August.—(Special.)—
The army worm is now occurring in
different sections of the state on
young corn and other crops, says the
Georgia State Board of Entomology.
Hence, it is important that a close
lookout he kept for it, and that treat
ment for control be applied at the
first occurrence before it has a chance
to destroy the crop.
These worms cun be easily con
trolled if the work is begun in time.
When they are advancing, efforts
should be made to (heck their prog
ress and prevent the infestation of
other fields. The remedy is simple
and inexpensive. The most satisfac
tory remedy is arsenate of lead.
The powdered lorni of arsenate cf
lead should he employed in lighting
the army worm, it can he used at
the rate of one pound of arsenate of
d to four pounds of air-slaked lime.
ipplied hy dusting it over
icked. A simple method
it is hy putting it in a
washed out flour sack and shaking it
over the crop so that the dust will fall
upon the leaves.
The best time to dust is in the
early morning or lute afternoon, but
satisfactory results can be obtained,
if application is made ut any time
during tbe day.

The soil survey which is being con
ducted by the United States Bureau
,of Soils and the State College of Ag
riculture is aiding in the production
.’of food crops in Georgia by showing
what soil types of the state are best
.adapted to the various grain, forage
land general farm crops.
The accompanying map shows the
!areas of the state which have detailed
soil surveys. The field reports giving
'the physical survey of the soils are
issued by the United States Bureau
,of Soils. The location and extent of
,tlie various soil typos are shown by
colored maps, and a description of
each type is given with the crops
which are best adapted to it. Thus
the farmer can locate the soil on his
farm and determine the particular
'crops he can grow to the best advan
tage.
If your county has been surveyed,
write to your congressman or to the
Bureau of Soils, Washington, D. 0\,
for a copy of the soil survey of your
county.
In addition to the Held reports, the
College of Agriculture is making chem
ical analyses of the various soil types
of the state. The work has been com
pleted in nine counties of the stp'e
as shown by the map. and the reports
of five others will be issued soon. The
analyses show the amount of plan'
food in the various soil types and fur
nish a basis for fertilization and soil
improvement.
Write to the Slate College of Agri
culture, Athens, Ga., for chemical re
ports of the counties in your section.
A wide variation in the composition,
fertilizer requirements and crop adap
tation has been found in the soils of
the state. S.nce the soil type deter-j
mines the kind of crops that will do |
best and the fertilizer needs of the
soil, farmers should acquaint them- 1
selves with the soil types they have on
their farms and the possibilities and
needs of these soils. This information |
is furnished by the soil survey reports
and chemical reports.
To use the reports, locate the farm
In question on Hie map and determine
the types of soil found on it. Then
refer to the description of the types
for the crops best suited to them and
Hip needs of the Boil. The chemical
reports show the amount of plant food
in the various types and give sug
gestions for fertilization and improve
ment.
In writing to the College for infor
mation concerning soils or fertilizers,
it will be of great help to mention the
Boil type in question since experiments
with fertilizers are being made on the
soil type basis. If it is impossible j
to consult a soil map for this infor
mation, ask your county agent what
type of soil you have on your farm. 1
Counties desiring to have a soil sur
vey made should write Professor W.
A. Worsham, Jr., Athens, Ga., who ’a I

A MERICAN families would have less sugar than the
people of war torn France, if we depended entirely
on our home-grown sugar stocks.
Approximately 75 per cent, of our sugar is shipped
to our shores. We produce about 1,000,000 tons of sugar
a year. Our imports from abroad amount to over 3,000,-
000 tons a year in normal times.
The United States Food Administration asks each
family to limit its use of sugar to two pounds per month
per person for household use. The military situation de
mands that every available ship be placed' at the disposal
of the Army or Navy. When we save idgar, we save
shipping. \
