Have you a little cabbage

Work is more plentiful this
week than news. Hence our
short letter.
Turning to Psalms 132nd
chapter and 13th verse we read
For the Lord has chosen Zion.
He has desired it for his habi
tation. It is evident by the
reading of God’s word that he
has chosen people, a chosen in
heritance. A pecular people.
For in the beginning it was said
of Him that he would save His
people from their sins. Like
wise we read in the 6th chapter
of St. John, verse 37, that ail
the father gives me shall come
to me and I will raise Him up
at the last day. Some people
seem to think that God would
be partial to save a cretain num
ber and permit a number to be
lost, but we can not bring God
into question, for he has a right
to do as he wills with his own,
for he says in his word. Hath
not the potter power over the
clay to make one vessel to hon
or and another to dishonor .So
we see that we have no right,
and besides would be a great
sin to question God’s work.
Now in connection with this
suppose we read Deut. 10th
chapter and 12th, 13th, 14th,
and 15th, verses. Here you
will find further proof. Once
more suppose we read Ist, Pe ;
ter, 2nd, chapter and 9th, verse
Here you will read, but you are
chosen generation, a royal
priesthood and holy nation, A
pecular people that ye should
show forth the praises of Him
who hath called you out of
darkness into his marevlous
light. In conclusion I would
ask you to read these verses of
scripture and think over them
and see where you stand.

NORTH GEORGIAN, CUMMING, GEORGIA.
RIGHTS OF THE CONSUMER
TO COUPMK ENDANGERED
Lobby Will Ask Georgia Legislafare To Dep rive The Peo
ple Of Benefits From Trading Stamps And Coupons.
Another effort will be made at the
coming session of the Georgia legis
lature, it is said, to deprive the peo
ple of this state of the benefits they
are now enjoying from the issuance of
trading stamps and coupons.
Although the proposed legislation is
backed by a powerful northern lobby
and is favored by some of the large
city merchants and big daily papers
in this section, it is not believed that
the Georgia legislature will pass such
a measure. Every effort made in oth
er states has proven abortive, al
though more than fifty such bills have
been introduced in the last three
years. In most states where this big
lobby has been active, the bills have
simply failed to pass, and in the few
states where such .laws have been en
acted, they have in every instance
later been declared unconstitutional.
The objection to the trading stamps
and coupons has come only from large
mercantile organizations which have
hoped by legislation to stifle compe
tition,'and from big publications who
have objected to seeing the public
share in the benefits of money spent
for advertising which otherwise they
might be able to get for themselves.
The public has always welcomed trad
ing stamps and coupons, as they
amount to the equivalent of cash dis
counts and premiums on their cash
purchases. The idea that the public
was not really getting any benefit,
but simply paid more for the original
article, or got an inferior article, has
been completely exploded by proofs
showing that the goods sold with cou
pons are sold at exactly the same
price and are exactly the same goods
that competitors of the coupon-using
merchants sell without coupons.
The manufacturers and merchants
using the coupons are enabled to do
so, not by charging more for their
wares or selling inferior wares, but
by the advertising they get from the
coupons and by the trade it attracts
to their stores. It is estimated that
fully $5,000,000 worth of valuable
goods are given away to the people of
Georgia each year through these cou
pons.
This money represents over-head
advertising expense, which the manu
facturers or dealers themselves pay,
believing that they get $5,000,000
worth of benefit out of it in advertis
ing and attracting business. If a bill
were passed prohibiting the use of cou-
Variations In Oil And Nitrogen
Content Of Cotton Seed Meal
Great Improvements Possible Through Seed Selection
ANDREW M. SOULE, President Georgia State College Of Agriculture.
The differences shown in the nitrogen and oil content of some varieties
of cotton which are quite extensively cultivated are nicely illustrated in
the table which follows, which shows the per cent of hulls, per cent of oil,
gallons of oil per ton of seed, per cent of nitrogen in the seed and the
pounds of nitrogen in meats per ton of seed.

Langford’s . . 52.26 15.15 49.36 2.31 46.32
Notice that the per cent of hulls varied from 40.61 with Sunbeam strain
61, to 59.4 with Hite's Early. The oil content varied from 18.61 with
Langford’s to 23.64 with Poulnot. The calculation shows Langford’s to
contain 49.36 gallons of oil per ton,wliile Poulnot contains 63.04 gallons. In this
connection you will observe that strain No. 51 of Sunbeam contained prac
tically 62 gallons of oil per ton, and strain 26 cf Sunbeam 59..18 gallons.
There is thus a difference shown here between Langford’s and Poulnot of
13 68 gallons of oil per ton. In sections of.Georgia where Langford’s and
Poulnot are largely grown complaint has been made to the writer by the
oil mills that there was a great difference in the actual amount of oil
from the seed crushed in the territory tributary to the mills in
question. This table illustrates why this difference occurs, and would in
dicate that the strain of variety grown has much to do with the per cent
of oil derived from the seed when it is crushed. Presuming that the average
oil content of cotton seed runs from 52 to 54 gallons per ton, some of the
strains with which we are working appear to be capable of yielding ten
gallons more of crude oil per ton of seed than is now obtained.
A question which naturally arises in this connection is the possibility
of correlating desirable characters. It has been thought by many who have
not Investigated the question that high oil content and earliness could
probably not be secured in the same variety. It seems evident, however,
from work which has been carried on for several years past that there is
a definite correlation between high oil content and earliness and satisfac
tory yields. This is a very important matter and will certainly exert a
material influence on the selection of planting seed in the immediate fu
ture. As in all instances nature has thus, through a wise provision, pro
vided for the changes which the boll weevil is forcing upon Us through
necessitating the seleption of early maturing varieties for planting.
Today we stand at the threshold of knowledge so far as the latent pos
sibilities of cotton improvement though seed selection are concerned. We
know enough to realize that unlimited opportunities lie before us in the
direction indicated, and it is believed it will prove such an alluring field
to the investigator that results of vast economic importance to southern agri
culture will-soon be obtained through the united co-operative effort or the
farmer, the oil miller, the plant breeder, the chemist and the commonwealths
having’ in charge the destinies of our agricultural colleges and which, through
the appropriations accorded these institutions, are to determine the rate of
progress which we will make in this fundamental work.
pons, Prices on goods would not be
one cent less to the consumer and
would not give the consumer an arti
cle one white superior in quality. It
would simply mean that these manu
facturers and dealers would cease to
distribute among the people of Georgia
the $6,000,000 worth of goods, which
they now give away annually absolute
ly free for advertising purposes.
Trading stamps are not the same as
coupons, yet the proposed legislation
aims to put them on the same basis,
and to crush both with th same blow.
The trading stamp, strictly speaking,
is issued by a company in the trading
stamp business, which sells its own
system to merchants and makes a
profit out of it. There might be some
objection to the trading stamp 6n the
part of the small merchant, as he
might be compelled, to buy a system
which -he did not want in order to
keep pace with a neighbor who had
put in the system, but this possible
objection does not apply to the cou
pon proper at all, as the coupon is
packed by the manufacturer or retailer
in its. own article and given away only
with its own articles and redeemed in
its own stores.
No instance has ever been shown
where the people have objected to the
system.
They regard the efforts of the lobby
as a plan to thwart and stifle com
petition and deprive the public of a
benefit it is now getting without con
ferring upon it any new benefit what
ever to replace what it has lost.
Nobody but the thrifty housewife
knows how the average Georgia home
has benefited and been beautified by
the premiums from and
coupons, for in the homes of every
community, large and small, are found
coupon-given articles of every kind and
description from cut glass vases and
waffle-irons to bedroom furniture and
pianos. Nearly everyone uses some
thing on which stamps or coupons are
given, the list including Octagon Soap,
Spearmint Gum, United Cigar Store
purchases, Arbuckle’s Coffee, Bal
lard’S' Flours, Pet and Acorn Condens
ed Milk, Quaker Oats and many other
standard goods. The whole family
benefits. The legislator who votes in
favor of this lobby measure to prohibit
stamps and coupons will simply be
voting at the behest of big business
to take $5,000,000 annually away from
the people of Georgia.~(Advt.)

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
In the beginning.was the Fold car and the Ford car
was right. Right in design and l ight in construction —a
motor car to satisfactorily meet all pie demands of the
people for service and pleasure—the car for the multi
tudes. iVith that keen far-sightedness that reads the
call of future years, Henry Ford foresaw that the mo
tor car was the coming utility and designed and budd
ed accordingly : a motor car so simple in mechanical
construction that anybody and everybody could suc
cessfully operate it; so strong in construction that it
would traverse all sorts of road conditions; so flexible
that it would meet with satisfactory service tiic many
and various demandsjof all lines of human activity—
to be in very fact the Universal Car. Ford cars have
been are now, and will continue to be constructed of
the highest quality of Vanadium Steel—specifically
Ford heat-treated—tlu; Ford chassis being beyond all
question the highest quality motor car in the world.
If proof is asked, the answer is made by more than
1,750,000 satisfied Ford users throughout the world.
