STATE STREET STORES HELP IN
RESCUE WORK

Downtown department stores rem
dered valuable aid to city and county
officials in the work of rescue and
salvage of the Eastland AS soon as
the magnitude of the disaster was
realized Marshall Field and Carson,
Pirie & Scott threw open their doors
to the police and their shelves were
swept of hundreds of blankets in
which to wrap the rescued and the
dead.
E. L. Howell, representing Marshall
Field, directed this portion of the
work, assisted by corps Of store en-
ployes.
Late Saturday, when the bodies
temporarily placed in Reid-Mur-
docks wholesale grocery were trans
ported to the Second Regiment ar
mOry, where they law awaiting iden-
tification, the Field store and the
Fair provided auto trucks in which
the bodies were removed, eight be-
ing carried in each truck.
= It was a repetition of the Iroquois
horror, when the stores furnished the
same assistance.

GETTING HIGHEST EFFICIENCY FROM
AGRICULTURAL AGENCIES OF 4 STATE
Ry c0eas Aaeuturo

Many people Of Georgia do not un.
derstand how various agricultural
agencies OF the state are related TO
the State College of Agriculture and,
therefore, fail to appreciate the effect,
iveness of the organization which has
been perfected.

corelate and cooperate with the actlvi.
ties of the United States Bureau Of
Agriculture. Instead of friction
that exists in some other states be.
tween the state and federal work, there
is the completest harmony here. The
headquarters of practically all OF the
agricultural forces of the federal gov
eminent for thes state of Georgia are
at the State College of Agri-
culture. An agreement has been en-.
tered into between the State College
OF Agriculture and the various de-
partments at Washington, by which
the closest cooperation is maintained,

animals on the market by the time
they are "a months old, and rasse
only those that are OF the beef type
good sire from pure bred hero
VIII serve for laying the foundation
BY crossing with native cows, the
calves produced will lay on flesh more
rapidly and economically than the or
binary breeds and will 'kill out" bet
ter in the hands Of the butcher.
The heifer calves from these crosses
Should be kept for breeding purposes.
1t is better that the beef calves should
be born in the winter or early spring
and permitted to sucl1le the COW and
go out and learn to Craze with them,
so that at weaving time they will be
able to gather their own food and con-
tinue to grow without material setback.
Of course, this is different practice
from that used in connection with the
dairy herd.

ORGANIZING PIC

Clubs, Georgia State College Of

How to market his acre Of corn on
four legs instead of four wheels, is
the next step to be taught the boys
of Georgia who are members of the
Boys Corn Clubs. Having learned how
to successfully grow an acre of corn,
the United States Department of Agri-
culture in cooperation with the Col
lege Of Agriculture, at Athens, pro-
poses to show the boys how this corn
can be successfully marketed in the
form of live stock.
Boys Pig Clubs are being organized
in limited number of counties for
the year 1914. Plans are being made

The Georgia State College Of Agri-

state headquarters of all federal as
well as state agricultural work. Tia
headquarters at the farm demonstra

the girls canning club work, the pig
club work, the crop rotation clubs are
all located at the College.

The College Of Agriculture has a
Tamworth sow that holds a record
Of narrowing rs in two filters in one
year, 20 Of which lived. Twenty one
of these pigs sold Just after weaving
at $40 apiece. Two were inferior, and
were sold for pork production while
still pigs at IS apiece.
This plain but motherly Tamworth
SOW, whose picture is given herewith,
has created a revenue of 1920 in one
year. Some breeders ask not less than
SIS for pigs, and if the College had held
out for such prices it could probably
have obtained them, but to encourage
the breeding Of pure bred swine the
lower price was asked.
No one can expect to average as
many as Is pigs in two filters right

The economic distribution Of
arm products is today the world $
greatest problem and the war,
while it has brought its hardships,
has clearly emphasized the inn
portance OF distribution as fact
or in American agriculture and
promises to give the farmers the
cooperation of the government
and the business men the solution
of their marketing problem.
This result will, in a measure,
compensate us for our war losses,
for the business interests and
government have been in the
main assisting almost exclusively
on the production side Of agricul-
ture. While the department Of
agriculture has been dumping
tons of literature on the farmer
telling him how to produce, the
farmer has been dumping tons Of
products in the nations garbage
can for want Of marker.
The World Will Never Starve.
At no time since Adam and
Eve were driven from the Garden
of Eden have the inhabitants Of
this world suffered from lack Of
production, but some people have
gone hungry from the day of Gre
alton to this good hour for the
lack of proper distribution. Slight
variations in production have
forced a change in diet and one
locality has felt the pinch of want
while another surfeited, but the
world as a whole has ever been
a land of plenty.
We now have less than one
tenth of the tillable land Of the
earth's surface under cultivation,
and we not only have this SUR
plus area to draw on but it is safe
to estimate that in case of dire ne
cessity one-half the eartn,s popu-
lation could knock their living out
Of the trees of the forests, gather
it from wild vines and draw it
from streams. No one should be-
come alarmed; the world will
never starVe.
The consumer has always feared
that the producer would not sup
ply him and his fright has found
expression on the statute books
of our states and nations, and the
farmer has been urged to produce
recklessly and without reference
to market, and regardless of the
demands of the consumer.

Back to the Soil.

The city people have been urg-
ing each other to move back to
the farm, but very few Of them
have moved. We welcome our
city cousins back to the soil and
this earth's surface contains TO-
092, 10000 idle acres of tillabIe
land where they can make liv-
ing by tickling the earth with a
forked stick, but we do not need
them SO far as increasing produc-
ton is concerned. The city man
has very erroneous ideas of agri-
cultural conditions. The common
ly accepted theory that we are
short on production is all wrong.
Our annual increase in produc-
ton far exceeds that of our in
crease in population.

The World as a Farm.

Taking the world as one big
farm, we find two billion acres OF
land in cultivation. Ofthis amount
there is approximately 75o,000,0O0
acres on the western and $780,
100000 acres on the eastern hem
;sphere, in cultivation. This esti-
mate does not include grazing
lands, forests, ETC., where large
quantities of meat are produced.
The worlds annual crop ap-
proximates fifteen billion bushels
of cereals, thirteen billion pounds
of fibre and sixty-fve million
tons of meat.
The world shows an average
increase in cereal production OF
10 per cent during the past de-
cade, compared with the previous
five years, while the worlds pop
ulation shows an increase of only
3 per cent.
The gain in production far ex-
ceeds that of our increase in pop-
ulation, and it is safe to estimate
that the farmer can easily in
crease production Is per cent if a
remuneratiye market can be
found for the products.

TEN SUBMARINES
Built for the Allies by the Bethlehem Steel
Co., Cross the Ocean Under their Own

Built for the Allies by the Bethlehem Steel
Co., Cross the Ocean Under their Own
Steam.
Operating under their own power,
without refueling or revictualing and
without the slightest mishap, ten sub
marines, designed by American naval
architects and built by American artisans
have within the last few months crossed
the Atlantic Ocean and are now doing
yeoman service for the allied cause in
German and Turkish waters.
While the rest of the world has been
dreaming of the day when the trans
Atlantic submersible would be an accom-
plished fact, the thing has been done by
American genius and American crafts
manship.
In just five months from the time that
Charles M. Schwab of the Bethlehem
Steel Company signed a contract for the
submarines with the British Government,
the ''little vipers," as they have come to
be known, were turned over to British
crews at the Vicker-Maxim yards, in Mon
treal, where they were built jointly by
the Bethlehem Steel Company and the
Electric Boat Company and started for
the war zone.
Five are now operating near Helgo-
land, behind which island the main Ger
man fleet has been hiding since the out
break of the war. The other five are
with the allied fleets in the Dardanelles.
All records in submarine construction
have been surpassed by this feat, and all
records for speed and sustained effort
have been exceeded. Within two weeks
after leaving Montreal five of the sub
marines were safe in the English Chan
mel. Inside of twenty days the other five
were in Turkish waters, and their COM
manders had reported for instant active
service to the British commander of the
allied fleets, Vice Admiral. Derobeck.
The construction of these craft and
their dispatch to the European war zones
were attended with the greatest secrecy.
In the face of the wonderful German
system Of espionage the American work.
men did their tasks unsupported. Sc
thorough were the precautions taken
that until now not person outside Of
those intended to know had an inkling Of
what had been done.

THE blue CROSS.

As recently stated in The journal,
Mrs. Grace C. D. Favre now in Lau-
sane, Switzerland, is engaged in the
work of this organization, and the fol-
lowing account of its operations will be
read with interest:
The Blu, Cross has six hospitals in
France and Others in Italy. At its head
as president is the Earl of Lonsdale as
ISOLATED with Lady Smith Dorrlen. The
chairman is Sir Ernest Flower, the honor
able treasurer is Sir Claude Macdonald,
and the supply department is in charge
of Arthur J. Coke. The expenditure of
funds is under charge of the war Office,
but the erection and maintenance of the
hospitals is. without government aid.
The hospitals are under the conduct of
experienced veterinarians, with corps of
blue Cross" (male) nurses. A hospital
will care for about 1880 horses, and
these jpatients have both surgical and
medical attention. Those that are wound
ed and can be saved for service upon re-
gaining strength are returned to the
army. The patients include both cavalry
and work horses, and they come to hospi-
tails both from the battlefield and the ex-
peQltlonary service.
A postcard which is in general and
wide circulation is as follows:
I'm only cavalry charger,
And Pm dying as fast as can
(For my body is riddled with bullets
They've potted both me and my MANI;
And though I've no ords to express it,
I'm trying this message to tell
To kind folks who work for the Red Cross
Oh, please help the Blue one as we'll!
My master was one in a thousand
And loved him with all this poor heart
(For horses are built just like humans,
Be kind to them-they'll do their part);
So please send out help for our wounded,
And give us word in your prayers;
This isn't SO strange you'd fancy
The Russians do it in theirs.
I'm only cavalry charger,
And my eyes are becoming quite dim
Il really don't mind tho Pm done for.
So long as I'm going to him).
But first would plead for nay comrades,
Who're dying and suffering too.-
