Good Health Commercially Considered

Coed health commercially considered
 The tna! report of the commission on industrial relations, created by act of congress in 1912, has just been
 issued. While the findings and re commentators of this commission on labor conditions, industrial un- rest, workmen's compensation, hours of labor, trade unions and other sub
 iects connected with industrial con ditions are of interest, the most lm- portant section of the report, from the standpoint ot the physician and
 the sanitarian, is section l6 on ln-
 dustrial conditions and the publG health Condensed into six pages gre a number of startling statements for the first time given the authority and endorsement ct government commission.

earners do not receive sufficient wages to provide for proper living conditions. The present methods of disease prevention and cure are eX- pensive, and sickness is most pfeVa- lent among those who are least able to purchase health.

Without Money Cost

A right or wrong start in 1915 will
make or break most farmers in the
Cotton States. We are all facing
crisis on cotton. Cotton credit is up
set. The supply merchant cannot ad-
vance supplies on 1915 cotton. You
must do your best to produce on your
own acres the food and grain supplies
that have made up most of your store
debt in the past.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted. rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living. 1t will
save you more money than you made
on the best five acres OF cotton you
ever grew! But 1t must be a real
garden, and not the mere one-plant-
ing patch in the spring and fail.

Big Saving to Farmer and City Man

u
Atlanta, Ga.-(Special.) 1.-THE farm.

year real home garden, will save
fully one-half the money he has Deen
in the habit Of paying the supply mer-
chant for his food supplies. The man
with a back yard city lot, turned into

penses In the same proportion.
The man in the city has been hit
by the war just as hard as the man
In the country and here in Atlanta the
Agricultural Committee Of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, Of which II. G..
Hastings is chairman, is actively en-
couraging the back yard city garden
as one of the most effective steps in
solving the problem of living. One At.
lantan made $3.50 worth of vegetables
last year on less than one-sixteenth Of
an acre. Others have been encourage
ed to try it, and this spring will see
Atlanta full of home gardens.
'The farmers of the South, In my
opinion" Mr. Hastings said, "have
we'll learned the lesson of the cotton
crisis, and | believe they are going to
keep 1t learned. They realize now as

only way to do it.
1.-THE first big step toward the solu-
ton of this problem is the home gar

garden like this means saving OF

FERTILITY OF OUR LAND AND
LIVE STOCK HAVE SUFFERED
(By r. M. Murphy, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)

(By r. M. Murphy, Division of Exten'
sion, University of Tennessee.)
Not only has the fertility of our
farming land suffered by our failure
to get good stands OF clover for tie
past few years, but our live stock has
also suffered because Of a lack Of feed
stuffs sufficiently rich in protein to
supply their requirement OF muscle
making material. We have tried to,
in measure. make up for our loss by
using cowpeas and soy beans, ana
while they are now very generally
grown and as hay furnishes salts
factory substitute for clover, still on
many farms in the state the work
stock are forced to subsist, and to do
their daily work, on ration composed
Of corn, timothy, or of mixture of
the other grass hays, millet, corn fod,
der, or sorghum, all of which are
good feeds in their proper places, but
which are all markedly low in protein
content.
Such q ration may be best i'm
proved by the use OF small quantity
of cottonseed meal. Cottonseed meal
Is our cheapest commercial source Of
protein, since it contains from 38 to
Al pounds Of protein in each one hun
dred pounds of meal, or practically
three times as much as wheat bran
contains. It is very rich and for this
reason must be fed only In limited
quantities. Ordinarily a 1000 pound
horse or mule should not be fed more
than two pounds per day, but this
amount may be fed continuously with
out any danger of evil effects. The
proportion Of cottonseed meal to corn
in the ration should not exceed one
pound of cottonseed meal to five
pounds of corn. One pound of cotton
seed meal when used in this way will
save two pounds of corn, and since
corn Is worth practically as much
pound for pound as cottonseed meal,
the use Of two pounds OF cottonseed
meal in the ration means the saving
OF four pounds of corn, or a ration
three cents cheaper per day, or a aav.
ing of ten dollars per year, and In
addition the work stock will be kept
up in much better condition and look
better.
