FARMERS ARE PAYING LITTLE
ATTENTION TO SOWING
OF FALL WHEAT

Atlanta, November -(SpeciaD-
Recent reports reaching the State
Department OF Agriculture with re-
gard to the little attention farmers
are paying to the sowing OF fall
wheat, arc seriously alarming. Geor-
gia not only needs and must have
food but must depend upon her farm
crs for it.
Information coming to the depart
rncnt indicates that the farmers are
not sowing as much wheat and other
small grain as was hoped for" said
Commissioner ], ]. Brown There
is yet time to SOW wheat if the work
is begun at once, and it is not only
the farmers duty to do it, but he will
be we'll repaid for his outlay and his
labor
Our farmers need not deude
themselves in the belief that -four
will remain as cheap as it is now, or
that conditions will be as fortunate as
they are today, if the cotton states
fail to do their duty in making suf1i-
cicnt wheat and other small grain
for home requirements. If this war
continues through another year, and
it will possibly last even longer, food
stufs will be in greater demand than
row.
1T is imperative from every stand
point that we make more wheat, oats
and other food products; and we may
be encouraged by the fact that in do
ing so we make our 1918 cotton crop
an absolute surplus. With sufficient
food for man and beast, and with cot
ton as a surplus, we can fix and main
tain fair price for both cotton and
cotton seed.
but the moment the world which
consumes our cotton learns that the
South is obliged to buy her supplies,
the bear SPECTATORS and the cotton
gamblers will begin to dictate the
price of cotton.
while all the great cotton states
| responded in splendid manner to the
call to grow more foodstuffs last
spring, Georgia took the lead; and
it was our abundance of foods and
tccdstAffs that has enabled US in every
| contest he+,,naD COTTON +1roJ,,rad ,pJ
bear speculator to win out. If we
had been forced to buy these food
products elsewhere, it would have
| been impossible for us to have main1
tanned the prices for cotton and cot
ron seed, (Which are no more than
just and in some instances have not
been as high as they should be, as
compared with other products.
I'VE want to repeat, and to urge
with all the force at our command,
that every farmer in Georgia should
plant at once not less than two acres
of wheat to the plow. If every Geor-
gia farmer will do this, we will pro-
duce enough to supply the entire
state
1--WE appeal to the leaders all over
Georgia who acted with the state food
council on production last spring, in
! dividually to take upon themselves
the duty Of urging their counties and
districts to plant not less than two
acres to each pillow, and more, If pos
siblc
Let no one be deludcd with the be
lief that 30-cent cotton will buy your
bread, il there are not enough loavcs
to go around"

IN MEMORY OF
Mrs. James Clay, whs Crossed the
Great Divide Oct. u, 1917.

The subject of this notice was O
daughter of j. F. and Susie 1.
Knapp, was born Oct. IL, 1884, at
Hamburg, N. Y, came with her par
ents to Morehead in 1899; was
graduated from the Morehead Nor
NAL School in 1902; was married
to Mr.. James Clay June 81, 1905,
died Oct. %, 1917 and is survived
by her sorow-stricken husband
and three young children, John,
Richard and Marjorie, the latter the
youngest, an infant of nine months.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Bishop Lewis U. Burton, of
the Lexington diocese at Morehead,
and the remains were brought to
Mt. Sterling and buried in Machpel-
ah cemetery after services at the
grave by Rev. II. NJ. Eastos, pastor
Of the Baptist church, at More
head.
OF this good woman, loyal to the
home of her adoption, devoted to
husband, loving To children and
true TO neighbors and friends
We could not say too much. The
friends at Morehead, the officials
of the C. & o. X. r., the associates
in the clubs of which deceased was
member, the Circuit Court at
Mt. Sterling by their acts have
spoken and should we undertake to
add words expressing thoughts more
forceful they would fail us. A
woman of graces, a wife of devo-
ton, mother with tenderest cares,
a daughter of obedience and affec-
ton, friend and neighbor in its
literal sense was she. Could we
say more? Yes, she was a leader
in deeds ennobling, Christian
character, too good for earth and
has been taken to the home prepar-
ed where she is freed from all
that's mortal to dwell with linn
whom she delighted to serve. The
tear dimmed eyes, the floral offer
ings, the pathetic expressions all
have evidences of the sweet woman
that she was missed in the home,
Oh, how much words can not TX
press, for woman of love .has>eae-
parted. She is missed in the clubs
of which she was a member, that
impaired lofty ideals. She is miss
ed in the religious circles where She
was wont to praise Him and ito
lead others on but this is not like
unto the vacant chair, the hushed
toice, the love deeds in the home.
We could write more, yea volumes
would not express the more of sweet
Christian graces. We tender the
deepest sympathy to him whose
burdens arc heaviest and pray Gsod
to guard, lead and bring the little
ones up in the fear and admonition
of Our Father. Truly it can be
said of her, that the world is better
for her having lived in it and the
exemplary life she lead will leave
its impress ON the lives of many.

I made up my mind that something was
radically wrong with the internal COM

discover a single aeroplane of any de-

to eliminate the dangers of air holes and
adverse winds.
From my observations, aircraft, to be
able TO navigate property. should have
at least one horsepower for every ten
pounds load. Some of the craft that
have been limping around in the air are
just as well off as a brick raped in a
piece of tissue paper and catapaulted into

BROWNS FLAGGING QUESTION.

The talk topic in the lobby of a Wash
ington hotel the other evening turned to
the subject of wonderful babies when this
little anecdote was smilingly recalled by
Congressman P. P. Campbell, of Kansas.
Some time since Jones and Brown, who
have babies of about the same age met
in a downtown restaurant, and imme-
diately Jones began to exploit the mar
velous stunts of his offspring
The youngster, he said. had not only
cut more teeth. but could eat more, talk
more and walk more than any other
baby of his age in the wide world.
What's that!" interjected Brown, be-
coming just little wearied. You don't
mean to say that your baby can do all
those things? Why, mine"
"Of course he can do all those things"
proudly returned Jones. He has been
walking for weeks. and. as for"
BY the way Jones'" put in the ex-
asperated Brown. does he use a safety
razor. or one of the old-fashioned kind?"
