l ~TO FIGHT IN THE WAR?
This is strictly a call on the Patriotism of the People of Georgia, who
| never have passed up a hunger call of a suffering people of
their own or another nation in distress
Strict wheat and wheat products regulations have been pro
mulgated by the United States Food Administration, as a
MILITARY NECESSITY, so that the United States may meet
the Demand made upon us to supply the armies associated
with us on the battle lines in France with food. Fifty per cent
of the wheat consumed by the people of the United States in
normal times MUST be conserved and shipped to the soldiers.
There are two ways by which that MILITARY NECESSITY
can be met: The people themselves can do it by voluntary ac
tion or the Government can do it by the force of enforcement.
The foregoing are FACTS. Those rules are LAW and they apply all over the United States. Compliance with them
means furthering the fight against Ring Power of a Monarch and to save the world from Monarchial Government.
GECRGIA FIGHTS BEST WHEN SHE FIGHTS FROM LOVE OF HER CAUSE
:AND BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO FLY HER BANNER AT THE HEAD OF ALL
No State has offered the nation of which it is a part more than Georgia has in the past. No people have responded to
pumanity’s plea more readily. Now to the point:
If ESTIMATES promise to accomplish the task this country MUST meet, of feeding our own and our associated
armies by the conservation of wheat flour products under the foregoing REGULATIONS and by the observance of TWO
WHEATLESS DAYS A WEEK, how much more certain will that accomplishment be made if we VOLUNTARILY go
pefore the world with
A WHEATLESS WEEK---SEVEN DAYS, F ROM APRIL 21 TO 27 INCLUSIVE--IN WHICH EVERY HOUSE
HOLD IN GEORGIA WILL FOREGO, ON ITS OWN MOTION, THE CONSUMPTION OF ANY WHEAT?
No other state has been asked to do this, but if Georgia does it others will have to follow or prove their shortness of
a patriotism in keeping with that of the EMPIRE STATE OF THE SOUTH. It is going to be only a repetition of that
history which this state has written. by action in past years. Georgia will stand in all the nation, and at the most crit
ical period of the war, as THE LEADER AMONG STATES in a voluntary service which will be CERTAIN OF RE
SULTS.
The County Council of Defense in Each county, and the Chamber of Commerce in each community in Georgia is
asked to immediately put itself behind the request for a
l VOLUNTARY WHEATLESS WEEK IN GEORGIA APRIL 21 TO 27 |
and communicate tc the Federal Food Administrator for Georgia, 414 Chamber of Commerce Building, Atlanta, Ga.,
just as nearly as possible the exact amount of wheat and wheat products saved in their community. This statistical in
formation is desired to present to the United States Food Administration in Washington TO KEEP GEORGIA’S
RECORD STRAIGHT and to be held up as
‘ AN EXAMPLE TO ALL THE OTHER STATES OF THE UNION l

Produces More Clear Profits than
Any Other Variety
This is a fifty-fifty cotton—one of the highest
linting varieties in the world.
It is the earliest variety known to this section—
beats all others to the gin.
It is easily picked, has good-sized boll, resists storm
and drouth, and makes more profits than any cotton
ever grown.
We invite you to write to any business concern or any farmer
in Milton county for the truth of these statements. If they
are not true we don’t want you to buy the seed.
Numbers of tenants in this county declare this cotton has
made them enough more than other best varieties to pay their
rents.
PRICES FOR SEED—
S3.OO per bushel, f. 0. b. our shipping point.. No reduc
tion for larger purchases. Send money with order. If
you live within fifty or sixty miles of Alpharetta, get in
your car and come to our place, and when you get in
our settlement, ask the farmers along the way what they
think of Rucker’s Select No. 1 Cotton. If they don’t tell
you that it is the best cotton ever grown, turn your car
and go back home.
