U. S. Army Recruiting Station. :
Secretary of War.


~ Atlanta, Ga, June Is, 1917.
To the Postmaster: u" @sSs'
Dear Sir:-The President of the
United States and the Governor of
Georgia have called for $500 men
from Georgia for the Regular Army
by June 80. These men are urgently
needed now to carry out the plans of
the war department. Any delay. in
furnishing them is going to be seri-
Gus handicap for the government.
Georgia leads the U. S. today in
Postmaster Recruiting, but only about
500 of the 1,400 postmasters in the
state have produced any recruits
whatever. Can't all postmasters make
it a point to send in all men possible
by June 30th and help the government
GU: in this critical period of the war?
These men are needed now to be
trained to be non-commissioned Off
GERS for the big National Army to be
organized in August.
1t is the big chance a young man
has to get in now and be ready to com
mand in the near future.
| wish to impress ON you, and thru
you the people of the state that the
best way to get a commission in the
army is to enlist now and work for
promotion. The man with ability who
enlists now is the man who will be
an officer inside six months. Further
delay means less chance; this is the
big chance for any man.
Very Respectfully,
G. V. HEIDI, Capt. Inf, r. O.

CALVES IMPROBABLE.
Consume More Food In Milk Than They
Produce In Meat.

Consume More Food In Milk Than They
Produce In Meat.
Veal calves from dairy cows gener
ally lose money for their owners, and
when these calves are kept until a
year old the loss is even greater, Is the
information brought by cost account
records of the Ohio agricultural expert.
ment station for twenty-six herds.
The milk used to grow these calves is
often of more value as human food
than the veal produced.
In the twenty-six dairy herds eight
cen owners lost money on raising
calves for veal The average loss on
1923 veals was about $1.95 head. The
average loss on raising 361 calves in
thirty herds studied was $500 for the
first year. Only five dairymen among
the thirty raised calves at profit.
When dairymen get high price for
milk they would be ahead by selling
calves rather than raising such ami
mails for veal or beef. The milk would
bring a higher price for human food
than the veal produced from 1t. Pure
bred calves usually bring higher prices
for breeding purposes, and In such
cases it is profitable to raise them.
