SECURE HOME GROWN
SEED OATS QUICKLY

Owing to the fact that the major
portion of the oat crop was winter
killed this year and that the supply
OF seed is very short, farmers are
urged by Mr.. Childs Of the United
States Department of Agriculture and
the State College Of Agriculture to Sc
cure home grown seed oats as soon as
possible from those counties in south
Georgia, where fair yields were OBJ
tanned. Most Of the seedsmen and a
number Of individual farmers have a
limited supply on hand at present, and
farmers are therefore urged to secure
their seed for fall planting as soon as
possible, inasmuch as the supply of
native grown seed is limited.
Many inquiries have been received
as to the use Of Texas and Oklahoma
grown Red Rustproof oats for seeding
in Georgia. These oats will not do so
we'll as our native seed, even though
they can be purchased cheaper. Most
of the oats in that section of the coun-
try are grown for spring seeding,
while we want to seed them in the

BRING HIGH
PRICE WHEN STACKED
Vines Ripen Normally And Give a
Bright, Nutritious Hay Equal
To Cowpea Vines

Instead of small, wrinkled nuts and
poor quality hay, as results from sun
cured peanuts, stacked peanuts ripen
normally and develop heavy nuts of
excellent quality along with a bright,
nutritious hay equal to cowpea hay for
feeding purposes, says Mr. Tabor Of
the State College of Agriculture.
To stack peanuts select stout pole
eight to ten feet high, set firmly in
the ground and nail two cross pieces
about a foot above the ground. The
peanut vines should be gathered be.
fore they dry out and piled about the
pole. The first vines are placed on
the cross pieces with the nuts toward
the pole and the stack should be one
vine thick as measured from the pole.
The stacks are made as high as one
can conveniently reach and the tops
capped with grass to keep the birds
from the nuts at the top of the stack.
Five to six weeks Is generally long
enough to allow for curing, though the
peanuts will keep longer in the stack
If other farm work is pressing. When
the peanuts are to be hauled to the
picker, the poles are loosened and the
stacks loaded without tearing them up.
In unloading grasp the poles below the
cross pieces, and shake the entire
stack on the picker or thresher.
The acreage of peanuts in Georgia
has increased according to crop esti-
mates, 220 per cent this year Mills
in southwest Georgia crushing cotton
seed have arranged to take care of all
the peanuts offered and it is thought
that a considerable amount will be
crushed.

CONSERVING THE SUPPLY
OF RY. FREIGHT CARS

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. livery practi-
al and very gratifying results already
are flowing out OF the recent confer
ence between the railroads and va
rious Atlanta trade bodies for the pur-
pose of conserving freight car supply,
and it is stated by the railroads that
they have begun to note very mark
ed effect on car supply even at this
Early date, although the conference
was held only four days ago.
The average capacity OF the Ameri-
can railroad freight car is forty tons,
but the average load is only seven
teen tons, or only 43 per cent of the
capacity while 81 per cent OF capa
city goes to waste The average time
OF loading and unloading freight cars
is four days for each trip. This ap-
palling economic waste, due mainly
to so-called commercial conditions or
conveniences of the trade, is ire
me.ndous extravaganza in time OF
peace, and in war it threatens the
safety of the nation if continued
Here are some of the ways in which
Atlanta shippers and receivers of
freight are undertaking to aid the
railroads in making the car supply
perform an increased transportation
service:
Loading of commodities to full ca
pacity; ignoring trade units" and in
sisting that orders be filled to full ca
pacity Of car; clubbing together and
ordering full cars where no single
dealer can handle a car lot; insisting
that the retail trade buy in car lots,
or club together and buy in car lots;
specifying that small car will suf-
fee, when it will, so that a large car
will not be furnished unnecessarily:
loading cars as soon as they are plac-
cd; specifying sidetrack locations in
! billing instructions, so as to avoid
wasted time in hold" yards; unload
ing cars promptly on arrival; preach
the gospel of the car lot to custom

Il was for many months a victim of
stomach trouble and nervousness.
had suffered terribly from pains that
followed eating. Headaches also
would add to my worries. Poor di-
gestion finally brought on nervous
ness.
Relief came, however, whea I
took the advice OF several who said
Take tonoline"
Not long after started the tono-
line treatment, my patrons began to
remind me Of the Improvement in my
condition. And because health is the
quickest way to beauty, the improve
ment was particularly noticeable in
my face
"What tonoline really did for Hae |

am very willing to recommend ton
line publicly" q
Tonoline is purely vegetable prep
aration which goes to the seat of
common maladies-stomach aud kid
ney trouble, catarrhal affections of the
mucous membranes, liver ailments
and impurities of the blood-and
quickly restores proper action. Tono-
! lineis being explained daily to many
people at the National Drug Co.
| Notice-As tonoline is a wonderful
flesh builder it should not be taken by
any one not wishing to increase his
weight ten pounds or more. Although
many reports are received from those
| who have been benefited by tonoline
in severe cases of stomach trouble
and nervous dyspepsia, chronic con-
stipation, etc.

early fall. If home grown seed can
not be obtained. the Texas crop is the
next best source, but when seed are
secured from that section the buyer
should satisfy himself that pure win
ter grown Rustproof seed are secured
and that they are free from such OBJ
noxious seeds as johnson grass.
According to reports from Texas
and Oklahoma the corn crop of those
sections is practically failure, due
to recent drought, and it is likely that
a large part of the oat crop will be
fed unless purchased soon for seed.
