double these figures, for every one who

economy hints FOR
PATRIOTS TO FOLLOW

On account of the high price of food
there is a tendency to sacrifice dairy
cows, beef producing animals and
breeding stock of all kinds. Save
them and grow them out for breed
ing purposes. We should fight animal
diseases on every hard.
Waste and idle lands may be cult
waited. There are many acres in the
state that should be in cultivation and
those who neglect the opportunity to
do this should not expect sympathy
and commiseratiOn if food supplies be-
come short during the winter.
The cultivation of limited number
of staple food crops should be empha-
sized rather than fancy and short-sea-
soned crops, for these are generally
difficult to grow and produce but lit
tie food. We need an abundance Of
corn, legumes, potatoes, beans, cab
bage, turnips and collards. Legumes
are used extensively as meat substi
tutes in the far east
There is a shortage in farm labor
and to supply this deficiency we must
resort to machine power and labor
saving devices. The present ratio of
production on American farms has
only been maintained through these
means and southern farmers have
been slow to appreciate this fact,
though we can use and handle ma
chimes as efficiently and economical
ly in this section as elsewhere
Our soils are frequently deficient in
one or more Of the essential plant
food elements and by fertilzing liber-
ally we may greatly intensity produc-
ton. Besides applying commercial
fertilizer we should be sure to save
all the compost possible and re-apply
to the land all the refuse from the
barnyard.
Plant something every month in the
garden and on the farm
A crop rotation that will keep the
land busy at all times will greatly in
crease average production per acre
add prevent soil erosion.

HIGH SCHOOL GIRLSS
And BOYS Stacker ?
Are Not Patriotic Unless They Com
plete Their Education, Sense of
Noted Educators.

The United States Government, not.
ed educators and all men of broad
vision maintain that we must bend
our every effort to maintain our edu
catiOnal standards and through ex
pert leadership prepare for the ''fierc
est industrial struggle of the ages
which is sure to follow when the war
is over.
A call is made to all students who
have just finished high school train
ing to complete their education and
not fall into the Stacker class. With
this idea in view the Board of Trus-
tees of the University of Georgia pass
ed the following resolution on June 10,
1917, and careful consideration should
be given it by every clear thinking
mother and father.
Resolved, That it is the sense Of
the Board Of Trustees of the Univer-
slty of Georgia that the work of the
University and all the Branch Col.
leges should be vigorously pushed dur
ing the coming session.
THAT it is the sense of this Board
that there should be no slackening of
the educational work of the state on
account of the war; that the war rath-
er should quicken the work Of educa-
ton, not weaken it, for the problems
after the war will call more and more
for educated men and women to han
die them for the future.
That this resolution, as the sense
OF the Board, should be communicate
ed to the Boards of all the branch col
leges and the district agricultural
schools of the state. with the earnest
request that there will he no slacken-
ing in the educational work of the

GIRLS! MAKE A
: BEAUTY LOTION
WITH LEMONS

What girl or woman hasn't heard Of
lemon juice to remove complexion
iIemishes; to bleach the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness
and the hidden beauty? But lemon
Juice alone is acid, therefore irritat
ing, and should be mixed with or
ahdrd white this way. Strain through
, fine cloth the juice of two fresh
lemons into a bottle containing about
three ounces Of orchard white, then
shake well and you have whole
quarter pint Of skin and complexion
lotion at about the cost one usually
DAYS for a small jar Of ordinary cold
cream. BE sure to strain the lemon
juice so no pulp gets into the bottle,
then this lotion will remain pure and
fresh for months. When applied dGily
10 the face, neck, arms and hands it
should help to bleach, clear, smooth
en- and beautify the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons.

PECAN CASE-BEARER
CONTROLLED SPRAY

The best time to apply spray mate
rial to control the case-bearer of the
pecan tree is during the last of Au.
gust and the first of September, says
J. w. Firor of the State College of
Agriculture.
In spring the larvae of the case,
bearer feed upon the tender buds and
unfolding leaves, but it is almost i'm
possible to control the pest at this
time, inasmuch as the rapidly growing
foliage offers a protection to the in.
sects and fresh food is constantly be-
ing supplied them. However, spray.
ing is effective in Augu. and Septem-
Der
The spray is made up of one pound
Of powdered arsenate of lead, two
pounds Of unslaked lime and fifty gal
Ions Of water. 1t is made in the fol-
lowing manner: Stake the lime and
add to this fifty gallons of water.
Make the powdered lead into a paste
with water, add to the fifty gallons
of lime water and then strain before
using. 1t should be kept constantly
agitated and, if the pecan grower has
a large orchard, he should purchase
a power outfit to make his applica
lions of spray material. However, a
barrel outfit may be used efficiently
in small operations.
Arsenate Of lead comes as a powder
and as paste and, if the powdered
form is not convenient, two pounds of
paste must be used instead of one
pound of powdered material, as called
Cor above.
