with lines Of hate and social antago-

that we are members one of another.
In q word we must acquire a social

This is a time for us to grid our

Royalties. Let unity and loyalty be the
keynotes of the present hour. Let us
have done with foreign attachments.
Let us have done with our little Eng
lands, our little 1talys and our little
Germanys. Let us make an end Of
outside interference with American life.
Let us make an end of that traitorism
that makes it possible for espionage to
do its deadly work here on free soil.
Let us make it plain that we will brook

the basis of doing business.
''Disloyalty should mean ostracism.
It should be sufficient cause for revok-

ADJUSTMENTS.
1.-THE EYES OF THE WORLD

Harold Bell Wright's 1.-The Eyes OF
the World" as cinematized by w. H.
Clune in 10 reels. was presented at the
Pinney theater yesterday afternoon and
evening for the first day Of a short en-
gagement. The book was one of the
best sellers when it came out because
Of the truths in regard to life which
it contained and these have been faith
fully transferred to the screen by Mr..
Clune. In addition to the story, how
ever. the scenic backgrounds which
were chosen under the personal super
vision of Mr.. Wright, are some of the
most beautiful ever shown on the
screen. Some Of the locations are said
to be identically the same the author
had in mind when he wrote the story.
The cast which portrays the characters
has been we'll chosen with Jean Novals
at the head. There are a number Of
good types and all the players give ex-
cellent characterizations. The music
supplied by the orchestra well BELTS
the production.

THE MAJESTIC.

1.-THE best Pickford picture made" is
the almost unanimous verdict of Lit
tie Mary's" latest film, THE Poor Lit
tie Rich Girl" which opened its Boise
engagement at the Majestic theater
yesterday to crowded houses. Unlike
her other Aircraft pictures, the story is
centered entirely about the little star
and gives her the kind of work to do
which has made her famous. The main
thread of the plot has been adapt
ed from the play Of the same name by
Eleanor Gates but much more kid
stuff has been added. Miss Pickford
has the part OF a child OF II years who
is compelled to stay in her big home,
with it's many servants and foresaken
by q mother who pays more attention
to society and a father who is absorb
ed in business. The pathetic contrast
between this poor little rich girl and
the happy poor little children of tho
neighborhood provides the theme of the
plot. The portrayal by the star Is NJ
all times human and registers big with
the audience. Technically the picture
is Of the best. There are many dream
scenes incorporated In the action
which are very well photographed. The
cast which surrounds the star has been
well chosen. The feature will be shown
again today and tomorrow.

Startling Shortage Of Seed Corn

Farmers and business men have
awakened with alarm to the fact
that the northwest faces perhaps
the gravest seed corn situation in
it's history.
Many farmers who supposed that
their seed corn was safe are finding
that it is wet. soggy and in many
cases moldy between the rows on the
cob," says Andrew Boss, vice direct
or, Minnesota Experiment Station.
Corn that is moldy will not make
good seed under any circumstances
but corn that is wet may be saved
by improving the drying conditions
providing the germs have not al
ready been killed by freezing"
To meet this situation, Mr.. Boss
is urging that all seed corn not
known to be well cured should be
carefully examined for moldy cobs
or kernels. Corn that is wet or
green but not milky, should be taken
to room where heat can be applied

FREE TO DRAFTED MEN
Judge Flaherty and Attorneys Or.
mond and Beise to Give Draftees
Free Advice

A voluntary army of $50 attor-
neys to give free legal advice and as
sistance to Minnesota men subject to
the new draft regulations has been
mustered into service and their NOM
nations have been confirmed by the
authorities at Washington.
This scheme provides three at
torneys to work in connection with
each draft board in the state to aid
and advice the drafted men without
charge. The three men appointed
for Stevens county are Judge Flaher-
ty, Attorney j. B. Ormond and At
torney G.. w. Beise. These men have
received notification of their ap-
pointments and will meet in a few
days with the county board to or
ganize and provide service for the
drafted men at all times when the
board Is in session.
These men, with the others thru
cut the state, are to be honered for
giving their services free of charge.
They do so because they cannot 60 to
the front to fight, but are anxious to
do what they can to serve their coun-
try at this time.

Simple Method For Testing Seed

The weather conditions in the
spring wheat territory have given us
well-matured, plump seed, al
though there is always danger that
it will not germinate. You should
make a few tests to be sure that your
wheat has not been damaged and will
grow 95 percent vigorous and strong.
Take an ordinary blotting paper,
fold it in the middle like book.
Wet it. Open it up. Lay it fat.
Count 100 kernels just as they come
into the right-hand half of the blot
ter as it lays open before you. Tear
an ordinary piece of rag 10 or IL
inches wide. Wet it. Lay one end
of it in the fold of the blotter, leav-
ing 8 or 10 inches hanging out like
lamp wick. Fold the blotter and
wrap it in waxed butter paper Cor a
larger piece of cloth will do,) leav-
ing the wick side open. Lay the
whole thing, thus wrapped, fiat on
the top of a tumbler of water, putting
the other end of the rag wick into
the glass just as the wick in the
lamp. You can pile six or eight
tests on the same tumbler, all
wrapped together.
You must not let them freeze. The
wicks will keep them just damp

enough. All you have to do is to
keep water in the glass. 1t is best
to keep the tests cool because wheat
has tendency to mold if too warm
After six days. open your tests
very carefully. You will find the
seeds all in matted mass. Separ-
ate them carefully into three piles,
strong, weak and dead. If more than
95 Of these seeds are not strong, try
one or two more tests, and If you get
the same results. sell your seed wheat
and get something better.
All the mills and elevators have
been asked to tell you where you can
get good seed, If you cannot get ii
from your neighbor, which is best.

Hog Outlook Most Encouraging

r. G. Ashby, assistant animal hus-
bandman in charge of swine at the
Minnesota experiment station, says
that the outlook for the hog market
was never better than at the present
time. The scarcity of feed and the
injury to the corn crop by early
frosts caused an unusual number of
hogs to be thrown in the market ear
ly In October. This resulted in a
considerable slump in the market.
Reports that the government intend
ed to fix the price Of pork at $40 a
hundred also caused distrust, because
1t was not understood that the plan
for price fixing was to insure the
fair price to the producer.
Prices since the October slump
have been climbing upward again
and Mr.. Ashby thinks the high mark
will be reached again by January.
He believes it will be reasonably
safe to buy thin hogs now to feed.
He says further that farmers should
breed as many sows as they can take
care Of, and get early pigs, having
the sows farrow in March If they can
be taken care Of, or in April If they
cannot be taken care of any earlier.
Mr.. Ashby also recommends the
sowing of peas and oats or barley
and oats in the northern half of the
state for hogging down. The pigs
should be kept growing and March
pigs should be ready to market by
September or the first of October at
the latest, if the market is up.

to hasten the curing. It must not
be left in sheds or granaries to cure
by air-drying, where 1t may freeze.
Farmers having 1915 corn should
make a selection of seed corn from
it and store It safely for use next
spring.
All seed corn should be tested be-
fore planting next spring.
Those who have good seed corn for
sale should report variety and
amount to the secretary Of the State
Committee Of Food Production, Uni
versity Farm, st. Paul, in order that
he may bring together those who
have seed corn to sell and those who
wish to buy.

Urged to Help Meet Car Shortage

Urged to Help Meet Car Shortage
A call to the public to help reduce
the present grave car shortage has
been issued by the markets division
of the State Committee on Food Pro-
duction and Conservation.
Hugh j. Hughes. chairman of the
markets division of this committee,
says that IL users of cars will load
their cars quickly, load to the limit
and unload without delay, they will
be giving real patriotic service in
the nations present crisis. The trou-
BILE is that cars are actually in use
only a part of the time that should
be given to the actual hauling of
freight, because so much time is
wasted in loading and unloading,
and when they are in use they are
not loaded to capacity. Hence, they
are not giving the highest efficiency
Of service.
Hauling out of trade center sup
plies Of kind that may have to be
returned to the same center later is
another wastage of transportation
facilities. This the committee also
protests against.
The railroads by placing them
selves at the disposal of the govern
ment under central organization
have increased their efficiency enor-
mously, but they must have the CO
operation of the public in the ways
mentioned if they are to carry all
of the burden which the war places
upon them in patriotic service to the
flag.

the three large fairs mentioned in
Guiding four junior and three grand
championships. Grady county won
most prizes, Fulton county the most
money with Bibb third. All except
three counties exhibiting won some

Worlning Peaches
T. II. NOTATION; PROT. Horticulture,
Ga. State College OF Agriculture

The moth of the peach tree borer
deposits eggs on the trees from about
the middle of July until frost, the
greater number of eggs being laid
during the months of late July, August
and early September. These eggs hatch
and develop into little grubs that work
under the bark of the peach tree.
Worning Of peach trees may be done
any time after frost. Where dirt has
been banked up about the trunks, it
should be raked away and close in
spection given the tree for borers !;
and where found, these insects should
be cut out with a sharp knife, care be-
ing taken not to girdle the tree. Again
in the spring it is well to go over the
trees and search. for borers, getting
those that may have escaped the first
hunt.

HOME GARDENING
CUTS DOWN BILLS
But 1t Must Be a Real Garden, Kept
Planted Through Season,
Says Hastings.

Atlanta, Ga. Especially - THE
greatest obstacle to permanent farm
prosperity in the south is the store
bilP made for food and grain that
could and should be grown on every
southern farm" says H. G. Hastings,
president Of the Southeastern Fair
Association and of the Georgia Cham
Der of Commerce, in an interview on
agricultural conditions in this terri
tory.
"a real garden" says Mr.. Hastings,
properly prepared and planted, and
kept planted throughout the season,
will help more to decrease store bills
than anything else the farmer can do.
"There are lots of what term one
planting gardens made, gardens with
few struggling rows of beans, few
dozen cabbages and tomato plants,
with some watermelon off to one cor
ner, but that's not real gardening any
more than youngsters first drawing
of cat or a dog on his slate, is fine
art. Our southern folks generally
don't take the garden seriously, when
as a matter of fact the right kind of
garden, containing a full line of
vegetables and kept busy all season,
is reasonably sure Of furnishing at
least half the living of the family.
az have never seen a one crop sec
ton, regardless Of what particular one
crop was grown, that did not have a
poverty-stricken look, with poor school
buildings, churches and homes.
q have never seen a diversified
section that did not have the signs Of
prosperity sticking out all over it.
"And on practically every farm in
these prosperous diversified sections
the home garden has an honored
place.
Il haven't a thing in the world
against the supply and general mer-
chants, but if all of our people would
take the home garden seriously, half
of them would have to go out Of bust
ness for lack of trade. Give your gar.
den a square deal in 1917.

Planting Shade Trees
c. N. KEYsER, Department of Horti-
culture, Ga. State Col. OF Aeri.

Very few cities and towns and their
suburbs are not in need of more shade
trees, or the more systematic arrange
ment and care of them. The fall and
winter is the time for city and town
officials to make arrangements for this
enhancement of the towns value.
Plant trees that are best suited to
roadway conditions, that are long liv-
ed and will remain as landmarks in
the town, and where possible plant
each street and avenue to one specie
Of tree. Some of the trees that can
be recommended for planting under
average Georgia conditions are White
Elm, Red Elm, Cork Elm, Ginkgo, Nor
way Maple, Red Maple, Water Oak,
Pin Oak, Live Oak. Tulip Poplar, and
Sycamore or Plane Tree.

DON'T BURN WHAT
CAN BE TURNED UNDER

The College of Agriculture urges
farmers not to burn any vegetable
matter that can be pIowed under. In
their effort to kill the boil weeYil in
its winter quarters, farmers must not
make the mistake of burning off of the
field, stalks, vines, grass, etc., before
blowing. Of all needs of Georgia
soils, humus is the greatest. Vege-
table matter turned under will pro-
vide for it. If it is turned under four
inches or more as all land should be
turned, then the weevil in the stalks
or other hiding places will be buried
and killed.
Burn off and clean up only those
places where the plow can not reach
Bury the vegetation as deeply as pos
sible with a drag chain attached to
the plow.
