In order to keep the people inform
ed there may be a Publicity Commit
tee, whose duty it will be to spread in
formation through the press or by
circular letters. This committee
should keep in touch with the College
of Agriculture and the Department of
Agriculture at Washington In fact,
there is no reason why this commit
tee should not constitute a bureau Of
information.
In addition there may be number
of other committees whose work will
be quite specialized. In each commun-
ity there should be a Committee on
Marketing, whose duty it will be to
gather information as to shipping ia
cilitieE and possible outside markets
for surplus products. In every town
there should be a Committee on Gar
dens, whose work it will be to slim
ulate interest in home and school gar
dens, to supply information as to
where seeds and plants may be OBJ
tanned, and to encourage the utiliza-
ton of Idle lots.

druple the present production of
sweet potatoes; only they hesitate be-
cause they fear they cannot store them
successfully. Usually the hue system
of curing gives very good results.
While entirely desirable, the small
farmer will hardly be able to erect a
curing house, even though the Col
lege of Agriculture supplies plans and
specifications without cost. AS a mat
ter of patriotism and business sagac-
ity the business men of a community
should undertake the erection OF large
storage houses to take care OF the
surplus crop Of potatoes. Scattered
over the state, in every community,
there should be storage houses for po-
tatoes, Just as there are buildings for
the storage of cotton, wheat or corn,

In each county there should be a
representative executive committee to
direct the work, of which the County
Demonstration Agent should be an ex-
officio member (since he represents
both the State College of Agriculture
and the United States Department of
Agriculture). This committee should
have a representative of every interest
in the county, and should consist of
from seven to twelve members. It's
duty is to formulate plans in the pro-
dsction and conservation of food sup
plies.

Not Wheat But
Potatoes the Staff OF Life

The experience of European belliger-
ents in the present war proves the
statement that 1.-The potato is the staff
of life" since people have worked and
fought on diet Of meat and potatoes
Even before the war the chief diet of
many peasants consisted of potatoes.
Georgia shows marked deficit in the
production Of this valuable crop. In
fact the requirements in Irish pota-

1870, 600 bushels; of sweet potatoes
by 10,950,000 bushels. The farmers

DEFENDANTS AND THE OATH.

Some folks are always talking about
laws we need, but we think what the
state of Georgia needs more than any
other law is one that will make a de
PENDANT swear and be cross-examined
when he gives testimony. If that was
the law, there are many cases that
would never be in court. The fellow
would know that he stood no showing
if he was sifted and inquired of fully
as to the truth of the case. He would
plead guilty and never think of going
into a trial. In fact, it would be a
good way to keep may from commit
ting crimes. knowing they would have
to meet the matter in truthful &asd
honest way, they would be slow to do
the act. We often see cases passed
through court in a manner most dam
aging to society and law and order sim
ply because the party can go on the
stand and repeat any story he wishes,
and never be called in question AS
long as that is the case, we may expect
men to commit crime and in MANY
cases go unpublished Nearly all the
states require the defendant to swear

THE QUESTION OF REPRIsALs.

The second great air raid on London
Ibv German aircraft, while not as sue
cessful" from the Teuton point OF view
as the first, resulted in the killing of
81 and the wounding of al non-com-
batants. mostly women and children.
There was every evidence that the
air raiders had full knowledge Of
their geographical position with refer
ence to military structures and forti-
LEGATIONS, their evident intention being
to bring havoc and destruction into the
heart of the business and residential
districts of the English capital. There
was no attempt to pick munitions fac
tories, shipyards, railroad terminals,
Publications or other objects connected
with the military operations of the enc
mics of Germany The only aim of the
German bomb-droppers was to give the
residents Of London another typical eX-
ample of "frightfulness" as advocated
by the barbarous leaders of the Ger
man autocracy.
The question of reprisals by the Al
les for this repeated attack on defense
less women and children is receiving
more ard more consideration, and just
Nv so, for the English people, subjected
to these brutal and indefensible at
tacks from the air, are aroused to a
pitch of hatred against the German
nation that demands drastic action on
the part of the Allied leaders.
The Allies have hitherto refused to
reply in kind to the dastardly 'outrages
Iperpetrated by the German airmen on
English non-combatants. There has
! been a firm adherence to the principle
! that demands unimpeachable methods
OF warfare, even against foe whose
every act has shown an absolute dis
regard for the doctrine of humanity
But is this policy to be continued in
the face of the latest crime of the leu
ton war-lord?
Germany introduced the use Of poison
as in in the trenches of the western
front, repudiating its previous pledge
to abstain from such inhuman methods
of warfare. The Allies, although
loath to do 50, were obliged to retaliate
in kind and are now using poison gas
against their barbarian foes
That air raids over German cities
will be forced upon the Allies seems
almost certain, for it appears that only
in this manner can the doctrine Oh
frtghtfulness" be brought home to the
German people in all its hideousN@ss.
Perhaps, when Allied airships rain
down tons of high explosives on the
homes of stolid, MISUNDERSTANDING
ITeutons, they can be made to see the
terrible fallacy in which they have
been made to place their faith.
There is a possibility that such re-
pisals by Allied airmen might be
eventually inimical to the purpose for
which the raids would be made, and
the German people might be stirred to
.still greater depths Of hatred for their
enemies, but aside from all idea of OBJ
tanning revenge for the outrages that
have been perpetrated upon the Eng
hsh citizenry, it would seem that
ccpious dose of "frightfuIness" dealt
out at the hands of Allied airmen,
might well effect a more speedy termi,
nation OF the present struggle.
