iPKIVAT' PEANUT GOES TO WAR
# . .
#-
I’m Private Peanut and I’m plenty tough! My hitting power is in
terms of oil. From 12,000 pounds of peanut oil, can bo made 3,000
pounds of soap and enough nitro-glycerine to fire a IG-inch gun on a
battleship. One blast from that gun sure could mess up a lot of Japs!
Many other things needed by our fighting men and civilians can also
be made from peanut oil, such as cooking fats and oleomargarine
Huge supplies of these things will give the United Nations the power
to bury the hat-hot— in the Axis’ neck. Undo Sam has asked farmers
to mobilize five million acres of boys like me. And they’re Wolne it!

iNEW LEGUME SEED
ARRIVING IN GEORGIA
Reinforcements, in the form of
ample winter legume seed, will
begin arriving in Georgia by
mid-August to support for a
blistering blitz on agriculture’s
1 twin enemies, Erosion and Soil
i Depletion, L. W. Tabor, chair
man of the Houston County AAA
; committee, said this week.
Chairman Tabor’s announce
ment came on the heels of dis
closure that the prospective win
ter legume seed supply will be
about double that of last year.
' TheU. S. Department of Agri
! culture last fall appealed to Pa
cific coast growers for a greatly
increased seed production acre
age and pledged price support,in
an effort to obtain needed quan
tities of nitrogen-producing seed
ings.
I "Tremendous quantities of ni
trates are being used in muni
tions manufacture,” Mr. Tabor
said. ‘‘Supplies fur agricultural
use are limited. That means
that farmers must grow their
own, and winter legumes, such
as vetches, Austrian winter peas,
and clover, offer the answer. All
of these will help to restore pro
ductive vigor to the soil.”
The county AAA chairman
also said indications are that sup
plies of phosphate for use in con
nection with winter legume seed
may be limited, but that the
AAA has arranged to furnish
farmers with basic slag to sup
plement the phosphate supplies.
It is indicated, he added, that
some 12,000,000 pounds of win
ter legume seed will be required
for Georgia this year. In this
connection, he said, the AAA has
arranged for farmers participat
ing in the program to obtain
seed and pay for them later out
of payments earned under the
AAA program. Co-operating
farmers, he said, may earn pay
ments which will practically cov
er the cost of the seed.
Department of Agriculture of
ficials have cited three factors as
reasons for emphasizing winter
legume seeding practices this
fall:
1. If the nation’s farms are
going to maintain this year’s rec
ord-breaking Food for Freedom
production, every effort must be
made to keep the land at peak
production strength. Any at
tempt to draw on present soil
fertility without rtp acing it is a
dangerous gamble that might
result in sharply declining food
and fiber production later in the
war and in the post-war period
when most of the world will look
to American farmers for food
and clothing.
2. Many of the war crops—
crops vital to the agricultural
war effort —being produced this
year in quantities never before
approached, are soil-depleting.
Continued peak production of
these crops makes it imperative
that fertility be restored to farm
lands.
3. Normally, the need of the
soil for renewed productive en
ergy would be met, for the most
part, by applications of nitrogen
fertilizer to the land. This year,
however, demand of war indus
tries for this material to be used
in the manufacture of ammuni
tion is so heavy that many farm
ers may not be able to get ade
quate nitrogen fertilizer sup
plies. The only effective substi
tute for fertilizer diverted in this
manner, officials say, is the grow
ing of legumes that transfer ni-|
trogen from the air to the soil,
Houston County Committee
has made arrangements to fur
nish Austrian winter peas and
vetch on Grant-of-Aid. Those
eligible may make application at
county office. Seed will be avail
able about Sept. 15.
Vicious circle '
There was a pile of stones in th«
road and a lamp on the top of it.
An old fellow was in charge.
“What’s this lamp for?’’
“So motorists can see the pile of
stones.”
“But what’s the pile of stones for?”
“To put the lamp on, of course.”

I swearing she just gives a cursory

Forewarned
Aunt Irma—When I was a child I
was told if I made ugly faces I
would stay that way.
Little Helen—Well, Auntie, you
can’t say you weren’t warned.
Caught It
William—What did you catch
when you played hookey from school
and went fishing?
Jackie—A cold at the creek and a
licking at home. . , 1
