Increased PrOductipeneSS
Through Farm Machinery.

By the use OF motor tractors, of which it has
ordered approximately nine thousand, the British
Food Production Department hopes to add two
million acres to Englands arabic land in time for
next years crops. Commenting on this great prof.
ect the Albany Herald observes that farm trace
tors are becoming much more numerous in South
west Georgia, partly account of the scarcity
of labor and in a measure a result Of the high
prices of horses and mules" There are Dougher-
ty county farmers, the Herald adds who de-
pending entirely tractors for breaking their
land and who will mechanical power for vir-
tually all their planting and harvesting operations.
In time, machinery will effect almost
plete revolution in agriculture, it has in in
dustrial affairs Already, indeed, farm life has
been wonderfully changed by mechanical inven-
tons, their constant tendency being toward econ
omy of labor and increased production. Until
rather recent years, however, the South has been
slow to avail itself of motor tractors and similar
machines, largely for the reason that labor
plentiful and cheap. But as that condition
more to machinery, and the result will be pro-
gressive gain in efficiency and productveness.
Given enough proper machinery, farmer can
cultivate a large acreage intensive plan. 1t
is easy to see how much this will mean to States
like Georgia where intensive methods are impera-
tive and the farm labor problem increasingly
serious.
The is teaching many lesson of economy,
and of heightened productive power, particularly
in those basic industries which have to do with
the output of foodstufs. We may expect, there
fore, distinctly efficient agriculture in the
South we'll in America at large, and prime
factor in the improvement will be a wider use of
farm machinery.

Food Con SerpatlOn Campaign.

1t is peculiarly gratifying to note that the food
pledge campaign throughout the United States so
far is attended with brilliant success, more than
four million pledge cards having been signed up to
Friday by patriotic housewives in various states.
1t also should be highly pleasing to Georgians to
know that our state leads any other state in the
South by more than two to By tonight the
number of signed cards should be we'll above the
six million mark.
The point has been made in several states that
if wheat substitutes necessary why is 1t our al
lies are made to use these substitutes instead
of ourselves In answering this objection the food
administration calls attention to the fact that the
European nations already using from twenty to
fifty per cent of corn potato and other equivalents
in the making of their daily bread. The British
government allows the aduleration Of wheat bread
to the extent of fifty per cent but beyond this figure
it is found that it does not make healthful loaf
While this and other objections may be we'll
within the rights of every citizen it should be ap-
parent to all that our government has not shown
the slightest disposition to act arbitrarily in any
conservation PLAN whether food or fuel, and that
the paramount aim of our government is to fill
every home need before even venturing to assist
our Allies Georgians and citizens everywhere may
be assured that this policy will be followed through
out the war.
Washington government heads know the situa-
ton at home and abroad much better than We pos
sibly can know it, and whatever has been asked of
American citizens is promised upon what is best for
Uncle Sans big family and hereafter.

LIFE AND MOTION
BY H. Addington Bruce

IFE loves motion. Every living thing Graves
motion of sort. To be absolutely at
IL rest, totally inert, is repugnant to the living
Indeed, motion is a basic characteristic of life.
Total inertness can only with death. Even
in sleep motion continues, as the internal organs
continue to do their work.
Motion being thus indissoluby united with life,
to experience sensations of movement gives real
satisfaction to the mind. This is fact worth
knowing, for it helps to explain many things
otherwise puZzling.
1t helps, for example, to answer this question:
recently put to me:
. 'Why is it that women, having taken up the
business of knitting for the soldiers are able to
knit hour after hour without feeling any i'll et'
fects?"
In part this is to be accounted for by the patri-
otto enthusiasm with which the knitting is done
Interest in occupation heightens the resistance
to fatigue and often heghtens 1t to an astonishing
extent.
But partly also the explanation should be
sought in the universal craving Of human beings
for sensations of movement.
The sight of the flying needles and the feel
of their in the hands satisfy this craving
Hence the interesting circumstance that many
women, previously disconnected and nervous,
have actually improved in health through taking
up knitting.
Hence likewise the fact that automobiling has
in not few proved helpful to nervous pa
TENTS The steady motion of the car satisfies their
instructive craving for sensations of movement.
To the satisfaction of this craving, again, may
correctly be attributed part of the enjoyment many
men lind IN smoking.
They smoke not simply for the sedative effect
of tobacco, but also that they may let their eyes
subconsciously feast the moving tobacco smoke.
Which accounts for the fact that blind men sell
dom smokers.
Tobacco chewing and gum chewing are other
modes of satisfying the movement craving.
Many have marveled at the prevalence OF the
tobacco chewing and gum chewing habits. They
cannot understand how anybody acquire these.
Nor can they understand the difficulty of breaking
these habits when acquired
In the subtle relationship between movement
and life turks part of the explanation.
So, too, we find in this relationship, in the in
stnctive craving for sensations of movement, the
explanation of the delight little children take in
being rocked in their cradles and later in swing
ing through the air
And partly the same psychological fact accounts
for the passionate devotion Of older boys, and or
many older girls to the outdoor games of the play
ground. Through these games they gain movement
sensations to an extent otherwise unattainable.
To the end of life, if in varying measure, the
craving for movement persists.
Often obscurely, but none the less surely 1t is
determinant of human behavior. No one can
afford to overlook it who would gain real insight
into human behavior.

A Desperate BANKRUPT.

If anyone thinks of Hohenzollern Germany as
being in penitent even conciliatory mood, ready
to restore the lands it has pillaged and renounce
the huge indemnities it set out to win, let him
mark this semi-official utterance OF the Berlin
Deutsche Tagezeitung:
A peace without indemnities would spell
ruin for Germany. Before the war the wealth
OF the German people amounted to between
three hundred thirty and three hundred ninety
billions of marks 1882, 100000 and $97,-
500, 900 ,OO0), of which nearly half has &C
tually been spent on the war. Without an in
demnity there is no hope of carrying during
the first ten years after the making of peace.
Germany would have to bear extra taxation
amounting to twelve billions of marks
$4,000, OO0, 0O0), compared with prewar
taxation of three and one-half billions of
marks (sS25 900 ,OOO). How can a country
in a state of ruin in which it would find itself,
and in view Of the enormously increased cost
of living, shoulder added burden of that
magnitude when the sum Of six billions
(s1,500, O0O,OOO) would be a maximum load,
and even that could only be endured with
the greatest effort?
This admission of bankruptcy by the criminal
adventures whose mingled greed and ambition
led them to precpitae the war must bestir strange
thoughts in the minds of Germans who do any
political thinking of their own The militarists
promised the people a short, victorious war that
would gain vast amounts of booty and be paid
for entirely by taxes wrung from the vanquished
foe. But the people find instead as the wars
fourth winter draws on, that the Allies are more
than ever invincibe, while German resources are
ebbing swiftly to shadows and to miseries. What
will the people say to their Kaiser and his war
lords when the last of the illusions swept
away and the grim reckoning comes? 1t is largely
the fearful thought of that time that constrans
the German militarists to fight desperately on,
even though they realize the inevitableness of
their defeat. They feel that they must play out
the tragic game they began. They must be con-
quered before peace worthy the name will be
possible

transformed itself into war machine.

When the war broke out army contained
approximately 275,OOO officers and men; now we
have around 100000 ready to fight in few

ordnance this year congress spent sS,00O0 O,Oe0,
and authorized another 50 900, 000,0
Our program provides for 10000 airplanes,
with 10000 enlisted men and 10000 fiers in this
service.
Though details may not be given thousands of
American soldiers have quietly cotton to France to
join the forces under General Pershing. They are
not only learning the peculiar fighting tactics of
this war but building railroads, telling trees,
saving lumber, flying airplanes, and working in
hospitals abroad

We are building ships faster than the most
