HOME MADE WHITEWASH.
(From Southern Ruralist)

AIiOhAs lOOubllSlAl lOlIdllab
Whitewash is 50 commonly used
around the farm that it is advisable
to know just how to make it prop
erly. The following recipe for
cement whitewash is made use Of
by owners Of cold storage ware
houses who desire a snowy white
that dries quickly, adlIeres strongly
to cement, brick or wood, and does
not rub off on the clothes.
Stake one-half bushel Of lime
with boiling water, adding the
water slowly and stirring constantly
until a thin paste results. A s. foot
piece OF three-fourths inch iron pipe
makes good rod for stirring. The
lime will be Iumpy if the water is
added freely and the mass is not
properly stirred. Add one-half
peck Of salt to the lime paste; stir
thoroughly; add water TO bring the
whitewash to the proper consisten-
cy Throw good handful Of
Portland cement in each pail of
whitewasll, and a teaspoonful Of
ultramarine bIue. Add the cement
and the blue powder just before the
wash is TO be used and stir in we'll,
otherwise the wliitewash will be
streaked. The cement makes the
whitewash adhere strongly 10 any
surface, and the bluing counteracts
the grayish color Of the cement and
results in white appearance.

FEBRUARY MONTH TO
PLANT FOR GARDENS
Seedmen Suggest What and How
to Sow for Spring Vegetables

Seedmen and truck gardeners are
now turning their attention to the
preparations for February planting
in the Southern States, north Of
Florida. Seedmen recommend that
next month gardeners sow in hot
beds or cold frames early cabbage,
caulihower, beet, onion, lettuce,
radish; 4 and in hotbeds SOW egg
plant, tomato and pepper. The
last of the month SOW in open
ground early peas, spring kale, rhu-
barb and horse radish roots, beets,
spinach, CARROT, celery, radish and
parsley. Set out asparagus roots,
onion sets and hardy lettuce plants.
Early paintings of potatoes can be
made. Hardy flower seeds can be
forward either by sowing in hot
beds or in pots and boxes in the
house for later transplanting.
For the farm, prepare pant beds
and put in tobacco seed. Sow
Canada field. peas and oats, and
toward end of month grass and clo-
yer seeds can safely be put in. Sow
dwarf essex rape for sheep grazing.

JURY FREES NEGRO
MOB TRIED TO GET

Sylvester, Feb. GA Worth
county jury last night acquitted
Jim Keith, the negro who was
charged With the murder Of Sheriff
Moreland, Of Lee county, on Dec.
IS, 1915. Tn trial last February,
Keith was found guilty Of murder,
but Wits recommended to the mercy
Of the court. hence was sentenced
to life imprisonment, although it
was said at the time that the con-
viction was largely upon the theory
Of conspiracy.
Many considered Nozzle Lake
the murderer. Lake made his es-
cape after the crime and has never
been captured.
1t will be recalled that Keith was
removed from the Worth county
jail in January, 1915, and carried
to place of safety shortly before a
mob, supposedly from lee county,
removed five negroes suspected Of
completely in the murder OF Sheriff
Moroland, carried them to old
Starksville in Lee county and
hanged them.

the figures given at the ministry Of
munitions. The comparison is made
between June, 1915, when the war
had just got under way, and the
production today. For every heavy
howitzer produced then, there are
323 produced now. For every field
howitzer produced then there are
As produced now; for every medium
gun then, there are So now. The
output Of 60 Founders and 6-inch
guns went up Is fold and has now
dropped back to u fold, as the sup
ply is too great. AS whole the
production Of guns Of all calibers has
increased Al fold on those Of medium
weight, and IL fold on the heavier
guns. There is the same remark
able expansion in the output Of all
tile other various types Of ammuni-
ton, machine guns, explosives, etc.
About the only exception is in
small arms. as the increase Of regu-
lation rifles is particularly difficult
and has not much more than dou-
bIed since the war began. The
shell production, however. has taken
such a step that the production for
heavy guns in a single day equals
the entire yesr's production during
the first year Of the war; and on
proiectiles for field howitzer and rs
millimeter weekly output now equals
the whole years output during the
first year Of the war. In s single
week recently, from Nov. 10 to 26.
the shell output was go. per cent
greater than the entire reserve stock
OF ammunition heldat the outbreak
OF the war.

MUNITIONS REACH
HIGH WATER MARK


London, Jan. 30-The high water
mark has now been reached and
passed in making British guns.
shells and all kinds of ammunition
for the allied armies and this fact
now presents the large problem Of
diverting this production into new
and useful channels, by which Eng
land will again supply the outside
world with goods, thus diminishing
the steady outflow OF gold and
checking the decline Of the British
exchange rate.
At the ministry of munitions and
the board Of trade inquiries by the
Associated Press brought out some
interesting facts on the maximum
point reached in gun and shell pro-
duction, and the need now Of turn
ing to more useful lines Of domestic
production ard exports At the
ministry OF munitions these facts
were stated:
There are now 1923 private fac
tories and works, ordinarily em-
ployed in various useful kinds of
metal production, which have been
taken over by the government and
are now controlled" works. These
are in addition to the regular gov
eminent factories.
There are 2,250,OOO employees
working in these controlled" and
government factories, making ex-
cIusively guns and shells.
This enormous production has
now reached a point where the
equipment Of the army is approx
mately complete in some Of the
main lines, such as light field
pieces, SO that the manufacture OF
18-pounder guns has had to be
slackened in the last few weeks in-
stead Of further increased. The es-
adjustment of pieces Of the As
caliber is also practically complete.
Ia trench mortar ammunition and
grenades, also, the production has
been SO developed that any further
increase seems unnecessary.
What the foregoing figures mean,
in showing the extent to which this
production of ammunition has been
carried, can only be understood by
comparison with the normal con-
ditions. Tie number of controll-
ed" factories, making the one ar
ticIe Of munitions. is more than half
of all the factories usually employ.
ed in metal industry, making all
kinds Of iron and steel goods, from
a nail up to steel beams, steel rails
and all kinds of machinery, as well
as the infinite variety Of small me-
tai goods usually exported by Eng
land.
The number Of people employed
in this one industry of gun and shell
making is a large percentage Of the
total British working population.
The entire membership Of all the
trades unions last year was about
five millions, while those now work
ing in gun and shell making is two
and quarter millions, or almost
half of the trade union strength,
which includes about half of all the
wage. earners. Before the war there
were about 80, 900 unionist workers
in all the various metal trades,
which is only one-fourth Of the
number of those now employed in
the single industry Of making guns
and shells.
The extent to which this gun and
shell output has grown is shown by
