DON'T NEGLECT CANNING

given this week by Commissioner OF
Agriculture ]. J. Brown. He says:
A great deal of relief in whatever
TODD crisis confronts us may be had
by putting up canned foodstuffs. In
the garden planting attention should
be given to those things which will be
available for canning. Just what to
can, and how to can it, so it will keep.
has been carefully and thoroughly
worked out by the State College of
Agriculture, and the College will glad
iy give the people of the state any
needed information if they will ask
fol-. it, The College has done a great
work along that line already through
ITS direct efforts and through its in
structors, and the time seems now to
be coming on us when the result of
that work is going to count for
great deal. When a surplus can be
produced of canned goods, about the
needs Of the family, it should be done.
That surplus can be accumulated by
communities and taken care of in the
market when the time comes. /
would particularly caution the people
generally, though, to thoroughly post
themselves, through information OBJ
tainable from the college, on putting
up the canned stuff the right way, and
SO it will keep properly

RULES OF THE ROAD


The 1917 edition of Rules of the
Road" which treats exhaustively of
the commonly accepted highway rules
for motor car drivers, has been put
into circulation by the B. F. Good
rich Rubber Company. 1t is dedicat-
ed to the interest of the American
motorist in the prevention of acci-
dents and to the cause of greater tire
mileage
The booklet declares that seventy
five per cent of the automobile acct
dents are due to careiessness or fail
ure to observe the simple rules of the
road. If everybody observed city
ordinances, accident liabilities would
be reduced, it says, among other
things.
"Children have not discretion of
adults and should be watched with
utmost care" advises the booklet in
warning motorists to sound the horn
repeatedly and have the car under
perfect control when approaching
children at play upon the sidewalks.
The new publication cai:s to the
special attention of motorists the fact
that they are welcome to the free
service of the Goodrich National
Touring Bureau regardless Of the
make of car or tires
Much valuable information concern
ing the care and repair of tires is al
SO to be found in the pages of this
interesting work. Rules of the Road
may be had for the asking at any
dealers stocked with Goodrich Tires.

Dear Sir.

Mr.. ]. T Pittman, County Agent
Fitzgerald, Ga.
Dear Sir:
In accordance with your request.
Mrs. A. H. Thurmond, Mrs. Brewer
and myself went to Osierfield last
night and met with the farmers and
citizens of that vicinity We had
present forty-two and all seemed to
be very enthusiastic over more food
production. Aftes staying the object
OF the meeting, and impressing upon
those present, as best could, the ur-
gent need Of everyone planting more
TODD products, we appointed secre-
tary and canvassed those present to
md out what increase in food prod
ucts they were making this year over
last year, and those represented show
ed an INCREASE of AZ per cent more
TODD crops planted this year than
what they planted las, year. and some
OF them stated they would plant adj
ditional food crops.
We then appointed committee
consisting of Mr. G. f. Pittman.
cashier Of the bank, Dr. J. T. McMl-
Ian and Mr., G>W Lewis. who have
agreed to canvass that district and
see the farmers and ascertain what in
crease, # any, they have made this
year over last year in food production.
and also see what they could accom-
plish towards getting the farmers to
increase their food production
We further appointed committee
OF whole, consisting of everyone pres
ent to insist upon their neighbors
planting more food stuff, and getting
the ladies to pat up more canned
fruits and Vegetables tvs season than
ever before. We had quite number
OF ladies with us who signihed their
intentions Of aiding in this campaign
by looking after the raising of chick
ems. turkeys and their gardens, as we'll
as increasing their canned fruits and
vegetables outlaid for this season.
| am constrained to believe from
what | found at OsierfeId last night,
that these meetings which you have
called will accomplish considerable
good especially if all of them show
ed the same degree OF interest that
the one | have attended has shown,
and there is no doubt in my mind
but what the farmers around Osier
field will give considerably more at
tention to the planting of food prod
ucts, and in fact all present last night
at the meeting agreed with me to
make the Osierfeld district the lead
ing. district of this section in the mat
Ter of food proeuction for the year
1917 and think the people of this
community are under obligations to
you for your efforts along this line.
Yours very trulv
