HOW SOARING PRICES
GRIND The CONSUMER
FIGURES FOR THE YEAR ARE IS
SUED BY THE FEDERAL DE-
PARTMENT OF LABOR.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Large in
creases in the wholesale prices of
many commodities in the United
States during the year have been re-
fected in the cost of living to the
consumer, figures issued today by the
department of labor show The rise
was not pronounced from March to
May. A slight general decline from
the high prices began in September,
with decided decreases in govern
ment controlled commodities, such
as wheat, bituminous coal and steel.
Lesser declines were registered, the
prices of cotton, oats, flour, corn
meal, rice, potatoes, copper and pig
iron.
Farm products increased 1873 per
cent. in price during the first nine
months of the year, food advanced
1875 per cent, clothing 1913 per cent,
fuel and light IA per cent, metals
and metal products 24.2 per cent,
lumber and building materials 26.7,
drugs and chemicals Ale and house
furnishing goods 1913 per cent.
Food prices increased 80 per cent.
from October, 1915, to October of
this year. Since October, 1918, the
cost of food has increased 50 per
cent, lard soaring 1873 per cent, corn
124 per cent and flour 115 per cent.
Sirloin steak, which cost the New
York householder 26.1c in October,
1918, was sold for $3.50 this year;
pork chops rose from 229c to $3.50;
bacon from Este to 46.4c; milk from
&c to 1873; flour from SIC to 7.8c,
and sugar from 49c to 9.7c.

THERE IS GOING TO
BE- NEED OF WHEAT
LITTLE FLOUR WILL BE SHIPP-
ED TO THE SOUTH NEXT YEAR,
ACCORDING TO, INDICATIONS.

There is still time in which wheat
may be planted in this, section and
those who see the situation as it real
ly is hope that many more Terrell
county farmers will see fit to plant
at least enough acreage to make all
the wheat they will need for them
selves.
Those in position to know de-
clare that next year little or no flour
will be shipped into the South. The
crop will not be sufficient to take
care of the needs of the allies and
the people of the East and North
This fact, taken in connection with
the troubles of transportation will
mean that -four is not going to come
South next year and unless Georgia
raises enough wheat to make its own
flour, corn bread is going to become
more staple article of diet than
ever before.
Flour will not be shipped this far,
when cars are so scarce, especially
when it can be sold next door, prac-
tically speaking.
The time has not been when you
could not buy -four but there seems
to be a strong probability that such
time is now just ahead and it will
be wise farmer who provides his
own -four through growing his own
wheat. 1t has been demonstrated
that it can be grown successfully
enough to fill local demands, and in
the short time remaining for plant
ing many more acres should be sown
to this crop.

Accidents Take 6O,O71 and Suicide
Claims 1852 Victims.

OlalmS ~, loZ victims.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Nearly a
third of a million deaths reported to
the United States during 1916 were
caused by heart disease, tuberculosis
and pneumonia.
Figures made public by the census
bureau predfcated on vital statistics

try's population show the deaths
caused by heart disease numbered
Haiti, tuberculosis 1O1, 1896 and
pneumonia 90, 1874. Accidental deaths
numbering 60,O71 are ascribed chief
ly to railroad and automobile acct
dents. There were 10,162 suicides
last year, the rate falling far below
the average for the last ten years.
Of the 8,240 deaths caused by fire
arms 1886 were suicidal, 3,241 hon.

REMEDY FOR The
PECAN TWIG GIRDLER
INSECT THAT CUTS TWIG DOES
GREAT DAMAGE TO ORCHARDS
OF SOUTHWEST GEORGIA.

At this season of the year pecan
growers, upon visiting their orchards,
find quite a number of twigs of about
an arms length scattered around
over the ground or clinging in the
branches of the tree. In some cases
the tree is severely mutilated. Upon
examination of the twigs at the cut
end, it is found that a smooth cut,
except at the center, has been made.
This is the kind of injury done by a
beetle, known as the twig girdler,
and which works on pecan, hickory
and persimmon trees.
This beetle appears in early Sep
TENDER and lays its eggs in small
holes on selected twigs, says Mr.. R.
w. Leiby, assistant entomologist for
the North Carolina Experiment Sta
ton. After partially cutting the twig
off, the beetle deposits its eggs in it,
and then returns to complete the cut
ting operation.
At the first strong wind, the twig,
of course, falls to the ground, and
the eggs hatch out the next spring,
when the young larvae, or grubs,
feed on the twig, then transform to
beetles in early September, which in
turn attack the trees and cut off
twigs for another generation
To control the destruction caused
by these beetles, it is recommended
that all twigs on the ground and in
the tree be collected and burned.
This will kill the eggs for the next
generation. Close search should be
made to find twigs similarly affected
in nearby persimmon or hickory trees
and the same treatment given these.

GIRLS TEARS HAS FALLEN
STEADILY FOR THREE YEARS
Orphans Silent Weeping Case Is
Great Mystery to Doctors.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis.-Little Cam
lille, an inmate of an orphan home
here and whose parents are unknown,
has the medical experts guessing.
She cries all the time and has been
doing so during almost the entire
three and one-half years of her life.
She does not cry aloud nor weep
as if grieved or yell as if spunky.
Only occasionally is there a little sob,
but the tears continue to flow. There
is no apparent reason for her cry
ing.
1t is the opinion among patholo-
gists who have examined her here and
in Chicago that the child is simply
hyperemotional. They think she will
outgrow it.

RATE RAISED ON
LOANS TO FARMERS
ACTION OF FARM LOAN BOARD
EXPECTED TO CAUSE AN AID.
VANCE ON PRIVATE LOANS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The gen.
eral upward movement of interest
rates was recognized today by the
federal farm loan board by raising
the rate on government loans to
farmers from 5 to 51a per cent. in
anticipation of later increase in
the present ~ per cent. rate on
farm loan bonds.
One of the immediate effects of
the higher farm loan rate, it is ex-
pected, will be to encourage a sim
liar advance of private mortgage loan
rates on land, which now range from
z to 2 per cent. above the govern
ment loans.
Reports reached the treasury to-
day that several insurance compan-
les with big loans on Middle Western
farm lands had decided 70 make no
new loans in order to keep it's assets
liquid and would refuse to renew
many expiring mortgages. This, it
was pointed out, would tend to in
crease the cost of available loans.
