Realizing that this year, the next and the next maybe, the
American farmer will be called upon to feed the major por
tion of the peoples of the Earth, we have arranged for our
readers to also receive The Progressive Farmer. We rec
ognize it as the South’s leading exponent of the now vital
doctrines of crop diversification and farm products con
servation. '
So important have these problems appeared to our Pres
ident that he has issued an appeal to the South to not only
feed itself but have something more for our sorely needing
friends across the Seas.
As your patriotic duty equip yourself by using the advice
and guidance of this standard farm weekly which sells for
one dollar a year and may be had with our paper for the
amount named below.

PEARSON TRIBUNE, OCTOBER 5, 1917
PROGRESS OF WAR.
German airships have made
night ly attacks on various sections
of British soil and, while no serious
damage resulted, exasperated Brit
ons swear “We shall bombard
Germany with compound interest.”
America is preparing to do that
stunt, but will Groat Brittain make
good the Hi real?
German submarine warfare on
AI lied vessels shows a sharp decline
the past week. Eleven ships over
1,600 tons and two under 1,600
tons were the sum-total of victims.
More than two hundred vessels of
various tonnage arrived and de
parted, to and from, .America and i
Allied ports.
British and Russian activity in
the Mesopotamian war zone the
past week resulted in gaining a
large area of territory and many
Turkish prisoners. The scene of
activity was about thirty miles
northwest, of Bagdad. An entire
Turkish division were surrounded
and forced to surrender. It is
learned from prisoners that the
Turkish army is heartily sick of
the war and would make peace if
it was permitted to do so by the
Allies.
Pope Benedict, according to a
Rome dispatch, has addressed an
other peace note to England, ac
conijianying it with copies of the
replies from the Central Powers to
his first overture. He hopes the
Allies will give the Germanic reply
deep consideration. But whenev
er (lie world is ready to enter upon
peace negotiations,says the British
foreign war minister. Lord Grey,
the United States will be present
and actually dictate the terms.
America has much invested in this
terrible affair, so far only in treas
ure, later in blood.
'The canard that a separate peace
afc the expense of Russia was about
b» be negotiated bet ween Germany
and France and England has been
dissipated. German emissaries in
Russia are talking without know l
edge or w isdom. Such an arrange
men t would have been in bad faith
with America and couldn’t have
succeeded even if it, had been tried.
The Russian offensive in the
Riga sector of northwest Russia
have caused the Germans to mass
much heavy artillery for the de
tense of Riga.
Gen. Cardona, with his army of
I talians, British and French, are
pounding away at the Austro-
Hungarian defenses of Trieste,
slowly approaching the city. Dis
patches state that the city of
I. ricste is almost depopulated of
iI scitizens.
The British advance in Flanders
are becoming alarming to Germans,
a, few more miles gained and Gen.
Haig will force the Germans to
evacuate their entire English chan
nel positions. Hence, intense
efforts are being made by the
Germans to stay Haig’s further
advance. it is learned from
prisoners that t he morale of tlieGer
man army is weakening, because
of the recent. German policy of sen
ding them into action without
oflieial leadership. No German
commissioned officers,according to
prisoners, are sent into a hand-to
hand tight. The privates and non
commissioned officers a lv resenting
this policy.
Violent artillery fighting con
tinues on the Verdun front, but no
important infantry operations have
occurred during the week. The
Germans gained 1200 yards of
French trenches east of the River
Meuse on the slope of llill 344.

LET GEORGIA DOUBLE
HER WHEAT ACREAGE
Must Safeguard Our Food Supply And
Help Feed Allies
In accord with the war agricultural
program recently announced by United
States and State Agricultural officials,
the farmers of Georgia are urged to
double their wheat acreage over the
amount sowed last fall. With the ex
ception of some of the sandy soils of
the southern part of the state, wheat
can be raised to advantage on most
farms in the State, and wherever wheat
can be grown farmers are urged to
seed an area sufficient to safeguard
their own food supply.
Wheat is best adapted to the loam,
clay loam and heavier types of sandy
loam soil where a firm hut friable
seed bed can be prepared.
Wheat makes its best yields follow
ing some legume crop, but it can also
be sown to advantage after cotton and
corn. Where wheat follows cotton the
stalks should be turned under as soon
as the cotton is all picked. A roller
can then be used to compact the seed
bed and the seed put in with a disk
drill. Where wheat is to follow a
clean cultivated crop a good seed bed
can be prepared by the use of a disk
harrow.
Wheat should be sown early enough
to allow the plants to get well start
ed before winter. If the Hessian fly
is present, seeding should be delayed
until about the time for the first frost.
Late seeding should be avoided, how
ever.
From tests conducted in different
sections of the state the following va
rieties are recommended: Fulcaster,
Dietz Mediterranean, Leap Prolific,
Georgia Red (also known as Bluestem,
Purple Straw and Red May).
The principles to be followed in
sowing fall wheat may be summed up
pas follows: (1) Plow early and give
khe land time to settle before sowing.
5f possible. (2) Use a roller and har
frow to compact the late plowed land.
(8) Where wheat is to follow a culti
vated crop that is removed from the
land, prepare the seed bed with a disk
harrow. (4) Make a good seed bed.
The increased yield will pay for the
trouble. (5) Use a grain drill, using
sound, plump, clean seed of one of
the varieties recommended. (6) Make
the soil fertile with manure or fertiliz
ers applied judiciously where needed.
(7) Use formaldehyde to prevent
losses from smut.
The State College of Agriculture has
i just issued a bulletin on growing wheat
and rye which is available for free
I distribution.—(R. R. Childs, State Col
lege of Agriculture.)
MARKETING DEPENDS
ON ANNUAL SUPPLIES
Don’t Have To Buy Back Product*
Sold At Beginning Of Season
In disposing of his products the
farmer should first answer the fol
lowing questions: (1) Is the commod
ity to be sold an actual surplus con
sidering his annual needs? (2) Is it in
condition to market? (3) When is the
best time to sell?
Influenced by the lure of high prices
and the desire to hear the cash ’’Jin
gle in his jeans,” the average farmer
is often induced to sell not only the
surplus products from his farm, but
much that Is needed for home con
sumption, Many farmers in this State
sold corn at less than a dollar a bushel
during the fall of 1916, and in less
than six months bought it back for
more than double that price.
When there is no guarantee that
each succeeding year’s crops will suf
fice for its needs, it is the part of
wisdom to conserve a little more than
one would ordinarily expect to need
for home use during the ensuing year.
One of the most important factors
in marketing farm crops is their prep
aration for market. The Southern
farmer is a rather shrewd buyer, but
a somewhat inefficient salesman. Our
principal money crop having been cot
ton, we have not given much attention
to the sale of other products, and, as
a consequence, we have not learned
how to prepare them for market. It
Is true that there are a few special
crops, such as peaches, which go on
the market in good shape; but it has
taken years to develop the peach
growers in the matter of grades and
standards. We must realize the im
portance of quality and appearance in
the sale of our products.
A point seldom stressed in connec
tion with farm business practice is the
distribution of the sale of commodities
throughout the year. To illustrate :
Suppose we knew now that before an
other cotton crop should be harvested
there would be urgent need for thir
teen million bales and that this year's
crop would amount to only twelve mil
lion. Under these conditions it would
seem that the present crop could be
harvested and sold immediately to a
good advantage, but we have long
since learned that, no matter how
short the crop, It must be sold gradu
ally if we expect good prices. Why
is it we cannot realize that the same
fundamental principle holds'true in the
handling of other crops?
The United States Bureau of Mar
kets has in its employ over four hun
dred men. the Georgia State College of
Agriculture over a hundred. All of
these are at your service.—(M. C. Gay,
State College of Agriculture.)
