I Upshaw, former Georgia Con gressman and “dry” candidate for President, declared: “Geor gia must be redeemed from her present liquor disgrace.” The speaker poked fun at what he called “the hesitating, vascil lating. equivocating, fabricating politicians who voted in the leg islature to bring liquor back to Georgia in violation of an em phatic majority of more than eight thousand majority against! the sale of the devilish stuff.” Demands Sober Soldiers Demanding that liquor be tak en away from soldiers to speed up war efficiency, Mr. Upshaw said; “If the federal government will not follow the example of Woodrow Wilson’s wartime ad ministration and take liquor away from the drinking, stag gering soldier, defenders of this country, then in the name of God and decency and freedom, let the fearless Governor of Georgia call a special session of the Legisla ture to redeem the vote of Eu gene Talmadge and over 8,000 others five years ago against the | sale of liquor, and make Georgia the one decent state in this Union where no soldier or sailor will be allowed to disgrace the uniform which is the insignia of their courage and the emblem of their patriotism.” Mr. Upshaw paid high tribute to the W.

PLANT PEANUTS FOR OIL CRUSHING USE The acreage lid has been kick ed off peanut production this year, insofar as peanuts for oil are concerned, Mr. T. R, Breed love, state AAA administrative officer, pointed out this week in discussing the tremendous pea nut production task set for Geor gia farmers under the Food for Freedom program. He was quick to point out, how ever. that acreage allotment re strictions, as in the past, will be strictly adhered to in the case of edible peanuts. “For the farmer who wants to produce oil peanuts,” he said, “allotment restrictions have been tossed out the window.” Re gardless of the regulation of edi ble nut acreage, he may plant as many acres as he wants for oil crushing, and we hope he’ll go the limit. “There is a tremendous need for peanut oil for the machines of war, and its up to our farm ers to produce it. Georgia soil is among the finest in the coun try for this purpose, so much of the responsibility for growing oil peanuts will rest on the shoulders of Georgia farmers.” All peanuts grown on allotted acres, subject to AAA regula tions, may be sold for edible use, Mr. Breedlove pointed out, and all those grown on unrestricted acreage must be sold for oil crushing to avoid penalties, USES OF LESPEDEZA The popularity of lespedeza is due to the many uses that are being made of the crop. It is one of the most important plants in permanent pasture mixtures. On good land with sufficient moisture, it will give good yields of high quality hay. Under al most any condition it will make growth large enough for tempo rary grazing and soil improve ment and it will produce seed for harvest. Then, too, if handl ed properly, it will reseed itself. A crop of these qualities will fit into almost any type of farming. Lespedeza will grow on most of the types of soil in the state. It makes the best growth on rich, moist, well drained lowland soils but will make fair growth on up land areas of moderate fertility. In years of abundant rainfall the upland areas give good growths of lespedeza. Poor eroded areas will give little growth but usual ly enough for soil protection and | some improvement. Droughty, I sandy soils are not adapted to lespedeza. The annual varieties of lespe deza are common, Kobe, Tennes see 7G, and Korean. All of these produce seed in late summer and fall but die down in winter. The seed germinate in the spring and the plants make their best ;growth in the summer months. E. U.
