Since President Wilson h:;s fixed
the price of wheat at the sub
stantial figure of $2.20 per bush
el, there is r.o reason on earth
why every farmer in Georgia
should not raise all the wheat he ; | lT J

your two acres to the plow, but
more. Put all the - ood land
you’ve got in winter wheat.
There’s good money in it We
should ra'se even more than 10,-

waiting for it. Prepare your
land and arrange for your seed

and every one of them who does
not take advantave of it will

Camp Harris, at Augusta and
wherever else they may be
quartered inside the State, are
properly protected in the matter
of pure foods.
General orders have just been
issued covering requirements
placed upon all dealers in food
products in the vicinity of these
camps, and these orders must be
rigidly adhered to. The autho
rized inspectors of the pure food
department will be continually
on the watch, and if there is any
violation, it will be promptly
handled. All flagrant cases will
■be prosecuted. Georgia boys in

rest reasonably assured that

around the camp is carefully
safeguarded.

ment, as far as is in its power,
to see that Georgia does this
under the new law. This law
prohibits fhe movement of cattle
from any tick-infested territory
to any territory that is tick-free,
whether a whole county or part
of one. It restricts in the same
way any cattle shipment from
other states to Georgia points.
The sooner Georgia can be
freed of the tick, the better it
will be for the whole state; and
the department proposes to do its
level best to get the tick out of
Georgia at the earliest possible
date.
The Georgia Land Owner’s
Association is going to hold a
big meeting at Tifton on Sept.
15th. The department’s inter
est in this meeting arises princi
pally from the fact that cattle-
tick eradication is one of its chief
aims. No man need hope to
grow cattle profitably, even if it
be only two or three head a year,
in tick-infested territory. Every
man in South Georgia and in
other sections of the state, in-
tetested in successful cattle rais
ing, should attend the Tifton
meeting. He will learn much
that will be worth while.
On Sunday afternoon, at 3:30
o’c'ock, Sept. 16th, Dr. Geo. VV.
Young, noted preacher, reform
er, and Southern orator, will
address the people of Douglas-
vilif and surrounding country
on one of the world’s most vital
questions—"Dry America.”
He comes under the auspices
of the Anti Soloon League of
America, there being no longer
a Georgia Anti-Saloon League,
this having been merged into the
larger.
The advertising has been
placed in the hand of the Boy
Scouts so arranged that they can
secure, for services rendered, an
American flag four by six feet.
The p'an will he given in full in
the next week’s Sentinel.
Everybody get ready to help
the Scouts, to help themselves, to
help G. orgia, to help the nation,
to help the world. You can do
all this at the same time by hear
ing Dr. Young, using the tickets
furnished you by the Scouts,
hicli will be taken up at the
door. The ticket costs you noth
ing, so please yield to the wishes
ot the Boy Scouts and attend the
meeting, using your ticket as
the Scouts advise.
The meeting will be held at
the Methodi-t church at 3:30
o’clock, Sept 16th.
. Sincerely yours,
J. G. Atkinson.

of D. H. S., by giving a recital
in the auditorum Monday even
ing, Sept. 10th, at eight o’clock.
