Soule THE AGRICULTURAL SITUATION « Theoretically, the war ceased with the signing of the armistice on No vember 11, ISIS. Practically, we have had to meet and deal with war conditions ever since that time. The dislocation which the world strife brought to our industries has been further aggravated by the unremit ting struggle which has gone for •ward between labor and capital. Thus, instead of recuperating and gathering together all the forces of the nation into constructive unity of effort, we have further dissipated and impaired our reserve stores of raw materials ’and manufactured goods. As a result, there has been a marked increase in the cost of liv ing which is affecting the tempei* and disposition of our people materialy. Existing conditions are lowering our standard of living because the purchasing power of the dollar has so greatly depreciated and on ac-' count of the crowding into towns and cities of a part of our population which, under normal conditions, would have remained in the open country. Rural workers, observing the proposed short hours of labor and the high wages paid by indus tries have irrationally concluded that they would materially better their condition by moving into the towns and cities already under-supplied with housing facilities. Thus, there is a marked tendency to mini mize agricultural production and to further raise the costs of foods by decreasing the supply. Wages, in so far as our agriculture is concerned, have almost reached prohibitive fig ures. The supply of worker's is much below the requirements of the situ ation. It has been suggested by com petent statisticians that we need two million more workers on our farms than are available at this tipie. If we are to feed our people ade quately at prices which will give the producer a reasonable profit and which the consumer can afford to pay. It is evident those who have studied the situation that the area Planted to crops is smaller than usual and the prospects of a good yield on account of unfavorable weather con ditions are not now encouraging. Just how shall we undertake to meet the ■ situation which has arisen is there fore a question of national and even international concern, for America up to this time has been looked upon as a sort of food storage house for the world. The first and most important thing to do is to go to work and to hoi stop bickering and arguing over mat ters of insignificance as compared with the real issues at stake. The seebnd thing is to realize that there has-been a wonderful let-down in our enthusiasm which we must make an earnest effort to recover. Thousands of individuals who were spurred on to activity bjfc war condi tions have lost their interest and zeal in production. The city gardener is largely a thing of the past and tne retired farmer who was active in aid ing the county when faced by a great crisis is, for the most part, again devoting himself to rest and leisure. People who* made money out of their crops last year do not seem to be able to realize 4s yet that it svill not last forever; and so they are not pushing the operation of the farms now with the vigor which characterized them in previous years. There is also dissatisfaction on the part of the landowner with the prices ne has received for his crops. There is a general impression in the public mind that the farmer should be classed as a profiteer. This is a gross and outrageous«error, for while the farmer has undoubtedly had fa vorable prices during recent times, he was the last to benefit by the in crease, and he will be the fifst ot suf fer by the recession of prices. In any event, he has not been able to fix his profits above the cost of pro duction ont he grossly unjust and un fair scale which \z.is followed by many industries and individuals who have profiteered in a scandalous manner at the expense of the public. The farmer has about concluded that it is not incumbent upon him longer to feed the public without just reward for his effort. The position he assumed is eminently fair and just. In many instances, those cultivating the soil have raised and sold their crops at prices which did not provide a decent living for their families. In many instances, they have failed to make a profit. Granting that under certain circum stances a part of the trouble was due to their own limitations, what other industry would undertake to serve the essential needs of the na tion without a profit? From my point of view, the time has arrived when the farmer is en titled to the same treatment as the railroads, for instance, which are guaranteed by the government a standard return on their investments. Whenever we apply the principles of justice, equity and fairness to the problems of the farm, we will be able to correct in large measuftes the conditions by which we are noSV confronted. Until then, we must suf ger the ills of the present, and they may even assume in so far as the high cost of living is concerned a more aggravated form. Even un der existing conditions, I hold that crop production could be stimulated and Increased materially if the land owner and operator felt that he could find a market for his crops which would afford him a fair margin of profit. It Is true that there will be an apparent deficiency in food supplies next fall that will cause mqch suf fering and unhappiness throughout the country. There are those who believe that the farmer is not doing his duty. There are those who wish to berate him all the time and to charge him with many crimes of which he is not guilty. The sooner the people living in the towns and cities realize the right of the farmer to live, to thrive and to make an increment on his labor, the better off they will be. Decaying the other fellow gets us nowhere, and most of the statements relative to the prof its made by farmers have been gross ly exaggerated and are not based on facts which can be satisfactorily substantiated. A new era has dawned upon our agriculture, if you please. The “worm has turned,’ and those who have danced so long and lived in luxury at the expense of the farm er must make up their minds to "pay the fiddler” in the future. The sooner they do this, the better it will be and the more rapidly will the con ditions by which we are now con -1 fronted adjust themselves. I Un£er the stress of war conditions, | Georgia made a phenomenal record i along agricultural lines. In 1917, a well defined plan of crop. produc tion was worked out. In that year, the output of our farms reached the surprising figure of $548,544,000.00. In 1918, an enlarged program was | presented, and our farmers responded j by raising $590,292,000.00 worth of I farm crops. The goal for 1919 wus ! set at $625,000,000.00 because of the need of supplying our brothers across I the water with some of the food 1 they needed and which they could , not secure from any other source. This goal was also attained. In ad dition thereto, we provided ourselves and our neighbors with $125,000,- 000.00 worth of animal products. Thus, the total output of our crops and animals last year reached the as tonishing figure of $750,000,000.00. It cannot be said that seasonal conditions were especially favorable, that labor or fertilizers were abun dant or easy to obtain. We did not have any surplus of agricultural im plements or live stock with which to operate our lands. In spite of that fact, we presented to the world new wealth aggregating three-fourths of a billion dollars in value. We did this through the cultivation in only a semi-intensive fashion of one-third of our landed area. 11 respectfully direct your attention to the fact, therefore, that Georgia now stands sixth in agricultural pro duction and seventeenth in animal production and that she is rapidly on the way to becoming a billion dol lar state. We can certainly attain this position whenever conditions warrant it. This is a fact of such tremendous economic and potential importance that I wish to empha size It as strongly as possible Tie cause I think comparatively few of our people yet realize or understand the great possibilities which lie ahead in Georgia through the instlt.ju.ion and organization of better methods of farm practice. In this connection, I wish to ask that if one-third of our cultivated lands will enable us to raise crops and animals worth $750,- 000,000, what may we anticipate in the future if we double, as we eas ily can, yields per acre or bring un der the plow twice as much land as we are now cultivating? Georgia will eventually become a two or even a three billion dollar state agriculturally. To accomplish this will call for the training and sending forth of a great army of men and women,, so that effective leader ship and direction may be given to the maintenance and development of our vast and far-reaching»farming enterprises on a safe and sane basis.

CONTROLLING THE SOURING OF MILK A. L. W., Collins, Ga., writes: I am having some trouble with my milk. The whey eats up my cream and the clabber and milk taste bitter. What can I do to prevent this trouble? In handling a situation such as you describe, proceed as follows: Milk when it is first taken from the cow should be immediately areat ed and cooled to remove the animal odor from it. When this is done it will keep much longer in a swe'et and wholesome condition. The end in view may be accomplished by pour ing the milk in a thin stream from one bucket to * another in a place where the air is fresh and clean. The milk should then be chilled by means of ice, or by putting it in a con tainer built on the order of an Ice less refrigerator. The rapid evapora tion of the water thus provided for helps to reduce the temperature by several decrees. As soon as the milk begins to turn sour, or develop lactic acid, it should be churned and undeu these conditions an excellent separa tion of the butter will be obtained. The bitter taste to which you re fer may be due to the invasion of the milk by an undesirable bacteria, or it may be due to the cows eating bitter weed. In that event, the trou ble is easily corrected by keeping the cow out of weed-infested pas tures. If the trouble arises from the other cause, you should immediately scald all vessels and expose them to the sun for several hours each day. It is of the utmost importance that the scalding be thoroughly and effectively done, and you should per sist in the treatment suggested un til* the trouble js entirely removed. SELECTIWG A VAMBTT OF PEA- NUTS H. S. 8., Berzelia, Ga., writes: What variety of peanuts do you recommend both for hog grazing and for gathering for sale? Also give me what information you can as to planting, fertilizing and cultivating. Peanuts may be planted in your section of Georgia as late as July 15, with chances of making a fairly sat isfactory crop. Early planting is, of course, to be preferred, so the sooner you can accomplish this end the bet ter it .will be. Peanuts may be planted, as a matter of fact, from May 1 on in this state. You would use one to two bushels of seed per acre A larger amount should be planted in the case of Spanish or brush sorts. The larger growing varieties should be given more room. The Spanish peanut offers one of the best varieties to plant for forage and for grazing down by hogs. It is an early heavy bearer of the bush type and is very easily cultivated. While .he nuts are small, they are very sweet and have a fine flavor. This is the crop grown largely in this lection of the state. The North Caro lina running peanuts is also an ex cellent variety for use in this section of the state. It is one of the surest cropping sorts. The nuts are larger than in the case of the Spanish va riety. The Valencia is ak:u a good sort. It is large in size and has a number of nuts or kernels, with a mild flavor. . ... . In planting peanuts one snould seed them in rows about 3 1-2 feet apart. Plant the nuts about two teet in the drill. They should be culti vated and kept free of weeds and crass during the early stages of growth. When they begin to peg down all cultivation should cease. Land selected for this crop should be fairly light or friable in character. It should be limed at the rate of 1,- 000 pounds per acre. Crushed lock or oyster shell may be used for this purpose. Scatter the lime broadcast over the land and harrow it in. Use 300 pounds Os acide phosphate and 100 pounds of kainlt as a fertilizer. Mix the two together and distribute under the drills at or before the time of planting the peanuts. AUNT JULIA’S LETTER BOX Dear Children: I have just received a letter from Yvonne. You know our money is paid to her in quarterly instalments, and I am not going to wait to have this letter translated to give you her message of love and gratitude for your beautiful generosity. She says our help has meant so much, when everything is so high and scarce. Lovingly, AUNT JULIA. Dear Aunt Julia: Will you admit another Georgia girl into your happy bund?

We will promise not to stay too long. Will leave j'ast before Mr. W. IJ. comes by. Like most of the cousins we live on the farm. We are not brothers, only cousins. As it is the rule we will describe our selves. Wait, girls, till the show is over, don’t run yet. I, Abe, have dark brown hair, blue eyes and fair complexion. I am 5 feet 6 inches high and weigh 135 pounds. I, George, have brown hair, grey eyes and dark complexion, 5 feet 4 inches high and weigh 125 pounds. Our age is between 17 and 20. Now girls, if you want to write to two good-looking boys let your letters fly to Your new cousins, ABE. AND GEORGE DUNAWAY, Lumpkin,’ Ga., Route 4. I am not going to describe myself, you might run. I am ten years old. Will be eleven years old In July. My birthdgy is the Bth of July. If any of you cousins have my birthday please write me. I wiftt all of you to write me though.

Your cousin, A* C. EDWARDS. Lumpkin, Ga., Mar. 17, 1920. Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: —May I come in for a little while this morning? I am not a new cousin. I wrote to the letter box about two years ago. My letter was printed and I heard from a great many of the cousqis, and appreciated the letters I received very much. I was ‘'Sweet 16” then. Os course I am a little older now, but I don’t feel very old yet. I was a school girl then. I never did finish school. I stopped in the tenth grade and began teaching. My class will grad uate from the eleventh grade this year and sometimes I wish I had completed school before I began teaching. I guess I don’t need to describe my self, as most of you remember I did be fore. Will just say that 1 am a blonde. How do you cousins like this rainy weather? I think it is just awful. Some of you girls who make tatting write to me and lets exchange samples, I have some pretty designs for yokes, collars, baby caps, medallions, Insertion and edging, and would be glad to exchange for new sam ples. Os course you boys don’t tat, but we will find something to exchange, letters if nothing else, so all of you write to me, and maybe I will have the pleasure of receiving as many letters as Mr. Hopkins did. (203) Well, as my letter is getting long, I will close and give some new cousin a chance. W’ith oceans ot love and ‘a kiss on every wave. Hoping to hear from you all, I remain, Your loving cousin, FANNIE KATE DUNAWAY, Lumpkin, Ga., R. F- I). 4. Dear Aunt Jtilia and Cousins: I have bceu a silent reader of the Letter Box for a long time, and have just now decided to write. What do you cousins do for pas time? I go to school and read books. I am in the seventh grade. As it is. the rule for the cousins to describe themselves, I will do likewise. I have blond hair, blue eyes, medium complexion, weigh 93 pounds MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME I am coming to you for some ad vice. lam not like most of the girls, lonely. I have been going and cor responding with a young man about my age. I think more of him than any of my boy friends, but he quit coming and writing about two months ago and did not tell me the reason he quit. He has writen me again begging me to let him , come back and asking me to forgive him. Should I let him come back to see me, or talk to someone else? There is another boy calls on me three times a week, but I don’t care for him like I (Jo this other boy, though he seems to think a lot of me and is a real nice boy and is thought lots of by everybody. This boy that quit coming asked me not to talk to any one else but him, and I wouldn’t do it. Do you think that ig the reason that he quit? Thanking you for your advice, and hoping to see this in The Journal early, I am, BROWN EYES. It seems the irony of fate to fall in love with those who fall out with us. But the only way to conquer it in the end, is grin and bear it. The trouble with so many girls, they let a boy see right away how crazy about them they can be, and that disgusts a man. The art of persuing arouses all of the man’s sporting instinct, and they do not like to leave the race unless they come away con queror. If women would«only get that idea in their heads (girls and women, I mean). What fun would it be if a man had a game of ball handed to him when he didn’t even throw the ball, or any other "game? And so the game of love is exactly the same. A girl falls on a man’s neck, gets a “half Nelson clinch,” then wonder why he wants to break away. I wouldn’t forgive him so quickly. He had no right to ask you to give up your ot “ e V friends for him, unless he asked you to marry him. And you will be foolish to do so. Girls let the boys do them any way, and won der why it is they are not able to hold their love. Here I come to you for advice. I am 16 years old and am in love with a boy age 20. We have been, talking for about 5 months, but quit some time ago and never talked any for about two months and I saw him again last Saturday night at a dance and we talked then. He says he loves me dearly and I know I love him better than any one else. He goes with other girls when he is not with- me, but never goes with them when he is where I am at except while we were mad and he went with one girl twice then. He says he only goes with other girls when he is not with me to pass off the time. Do you think he cares for me? This boy is very bad to drink, but I do not care for that. I don’t think I ever can love anyone else. This boy tells others he loves me more than any one else. Do you think he means it? Please print this in The Jour nal and give me your best advice. BLUE EYES. I cannot tell whether the young man loves you or not, as lam no mind reader. If he says he does, and doesn’t do anything to lead you to believe otherwise why then you will have to be lieve him. It is too bad, though, he cares for drink, because after one drink nine times out of ten it changes a man’s thoughts, and one drink calls for another and young girls are not safe with a drinking man, especially if that man has an automobile and takes her out for drives.

I have had them to tell me, unless they cut up and acted flip the boys wouldn’t notice them. Yes they will, that is a wrong idea, men have al ways respected and appreciated a good pure woman, and they will continue as long as life lasts. But that does not mean that girls cannot be jolly and en joy themselves in a wholesome way without being classed “sticks.” We are two young girls of thirteen and fourteen years coming to you for advice as we are ashamed to consult our mothers so please, please give us your best advice. I am thirteen and am engaged to a widower of thirty-eight years. We will be mar ried Christmas. His wife has been dead two years. He has two chil dren, a boy and a girl, and I am simply crazy over them, so please give me your advice in the next is sue of The Jorunal as I want to prepare. I am fourteen and am engaged to be married to a widower of forty years. We are going to be married Christmas. He has four children and he seems to be good to them. Please answer soon. LONELY JACK AND BILL. The idea of a thirteen-year-old child like you talking about mar riage, and worst of all to a wid ower almost old enough to be your grandfather. And the most tragic thing, think of you being stepmother to those two children. Some one ought to tar and feath er that man for putting such nonsense in your head, and your mother ought to give you a good spanking and send you to bed for having such thoughts. Child, you are wrong, very wrong. Where does your mother stay that she doesn’t know of this affair of yours? And as for you, fourteen, the same medicine should be handed out to that silly old widower, and the spanking administered to you. Take my advice and stay away from men like those who would destroy your lives.

TUESDAY,'JULY 13, 1920. The Country Home BY MRS. W. H. FELTON Were Automobiles Invented by His Satanic Majesty? So declares Dr. Len G. Broughton, LL. D., addressing a missionary as sociation in Knoxville, Tenn. He also told them the devil never made a “shrewder invention.” He says the devil gets active service from them. Says Dr. Broughton: “It has come to such a pass that one-third of a city congregation will be away from Sunday services driving in the coun try or to some mountain or water resort having a good time on Sun day.” He is trying to fix up his church fences, as will be apparent from this reading.-One old lady can safely re ply that spirited and gospel-spread ing religion can induce even auto mobilists to attend Sunday services. Billy Sunday held forth In Atlanta some months ago and the outside soil was crammed with automobiles that had been attracted thereby, packed and jammed. I can also say that automobiles are man killers and women and chil dren killers. It is a common every<- day story of these violent deaths from Rabun Gap to Tyfyee Light in Georgia. We have had in my imme diate section some of such and most awful slaughters of human life that were ever known in our history. Furthermore, little boys and small girls are allowed to preside as auto drivers in crowded streets to the imminent danger of. all In the ma chine and a menace to all they meet outside of it on public streets and highways. If there was not a Providence which watches over the lame and the lazy everywhere we would be horri fied every time these inexperienced children are at the guiding wheel of automobiles. It is so easy to run into other machines and to strike telephone poles, or to plunge over a high place, or for an engine to “go dead” in dangerous places, or to “turn turtle*’ in even a shallow ditch, that I am always nervous to see them going like mad with a “speed fiend” look showing out in their very eyes. I think Dr. Broughton has some reason to call automobiles the “devil’s invention.” Women at Presidential Conventions To an old body like myself, one who has been studying politics for half a century, the printed descrip tion of women getting so excited that they were lifted to the shoulders of political shouters in California and went along the aisles carrying ban ners and shouting for candidates, was a very astonishing feature of the Frisco * convention —to me. I hardly suppose we will-ever see nice southern ladies—figuring along on similar lines—in Georgia poli tics, and when the Georgia delegates were voting vociferously for votes for women in Frisco, it was also as tonishing to remember that oqr Georgia legislators are obstinately opposed to woman suffrage. Not a single womaji from Rabun Gap to Tybee light can vote for president or governor or congressman, and it was a commentary on consistency to elect a Savannah woman a na tional committeeman ip Frisco, “when she couldn’t vote for coroner—ln the town where she lives”—down here in Georgia. When people go 3,000 miles from home to nominate a president they shouldn’t put on such airs simply show off—when they are fully aware that their political adherents here at home are opposing giving the ballot privilege to their own wives and mothers. Some of the political ladies were norated in the newspapers as having clothes and jewels fit for crowned heads in Europe. Again it strikes an old body unpleasantly to hear of women in public affairs dressed (or undressed) like they were going to a ball or party or the front row at opera. All such performances, such as rid ing oh a man’s shoulders in a howling mob of half-crazy politicians, at a presidential convention, will cast dis credit on votes for women and dis count all the valuable work that earnest ivomen in years gone by were struggling to accomplish for the bet terment of mankind, especially chil dren. iSwi How Many Women Are Like This? Can anything be moie wearing for women than the ceaseless round of household duties? Oh! the monotony of it all—r work and drudge; no time to be sick; tired, ailing, yet can not stop. There comes a time when something “snaps” and they find themselves “ simply worn out,” and to make matters worse, have contracted serious feminine disorder which almost always follows the constant overtaxing of a woman’s strength. Then they should remember that there is no remedy like Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound—the expe rience of these two women establishes that fact: Cedar Rapids, la.—“ After the birth of my last child I had such painful spells that would unfit me entirely for my housework. I suf fered for months and the doctor said that my trouble was organic ulcers and I would have to have an opera tion. That was an awful thing to me, with a young babyand four other children, so ono day I thought of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and how it had helped me years before and I decided to try it again. I took five bottles of Vege table Compound and used Lydia E. Pinkham’s Sanative Wash and since then I have been a well woman, able to take care of my house and family without any trouble or a day’s pain, I am ready and thankful to swear by your medicine any time. lam forty four years old and have nothad a day’s illness of any kind for three years.’’ —Mrs. H.

How to Treat A Torpid Liver The liver is the largest and most important organ -in the body, ana when the liver refuses to act, it causes constipation, biliousness, headaches, indigestion, gas, sour stomach, bad breath, dysentery, diarrhoea, pains in back and linear shoulder blades and under rjbs on right side. These symptoms lead to colds, influenza or other serious troubles unless corrected immediate ly. * An inactive liver places an extra burden on the kidneys, which taxes them and causes the blood to absorb and carry into the system tne impurities that the liver and kidneys have failed to eliminate. . When you treat the liver alone, you treat only a third of , your trouble, and that is why you have to take purgatives every few nikht®* Calomel or other ordinary laxatives do not go far enough. If y°R would treat your kidneys and blood wniw treatirig the liver you would put your entire system in order and fre quent purgatives would then be un necessary. . Dr. W. L. Hitchcock many years ago recognized these important facts, and after much study * and research, compounded what is now known as Dr. Hitchcock’s Liver, Kidney and Blood Powders, three medicines combined in one. This was the Doctor’s favorite prescrip tion for many years, being used by his patients with marked success.

All Worn Out Women Should Take Sandusky, Ohio.—“ After thebirth of my baby I had organic trouble. ’ My doctor said it was caused by too heavy lifting and I would have to have an operation. I would not consent to an operation and let it go for over a year, hating my sister do my work for me as I was not able to walk.
