At the present time the farmer can
warehouse his cotton, but any other crop
he may grow can only be handled and
disposed of with difficulty. Whenever
the business man performs the service
of which he IS capable in the direction
indicated dlversification will go onward
by leaps and bounds.
THE business man must perform the
duty of a food assembler. Means must
be found to gather up all supplies of
food. even in small quantities. and sort,
assemble and redistribute. 1t Is not In
tended that this work should be carried
on as a charity proposition nor solely
as patriotic duty, but because there Is
a great opportunity not only to serve
the community and nation acceptably
but to earn respectable increment on
the investment made in the direction in
dictated.
THE business man must aid the eoun-
~ agent and others charged with the
education of the farmers in establishing
in their minds the necessary standards
for tho preparation I'D SATISFACTORY
marketing of the various drops they pro
duce. It will not do to stop simply
with the gathering together of the food,
as would be the result Of an assem-
bler's work, but the problem Of educat-
ing them to more varied and selective
production must be carried on at the
same time.
THE business men will also be respon-
Sible for establishing consuming mar
kets for Georgia products, not only at
home but abroad For instance, one
community Of which the writer knows
shipped several hundred carloads Of
sweet potatoes last year to northern
markets. The farmer cannot undertake
to do work of this character, but the
business man can easily do So Many
Georgia products are not known in
northern or eastern markets and 1t
would be asy matter to establish great
consuming centers for these products II
business men took this matter in hand
and exploited the possibilities Of these
food materials as has been done so ac-
ceptably in the case of cotton seed and
peanut oil.
Educational forces, such as the coun-
ty agent, the college of agriculture, the
experiment station and other educational
agencies could promote diversification
with great rapidity in Georgia and aid in
the early solution Of present food prob
lem If the business men would clear the
decks for action, and would say to
these organizations, Go and tell the
farmers to produce the various kinds of
food needed and we will find acceptable
markets for the same"

community they serve as to the nature
and character of food supplies which
will probably be available When this Is
done the community can fortify itself
against any deficiency by taking the
p1 oper steps.
-. There should be a committee on
education and public meetings. This
committee should undertake In co-opera-
ton with the county agent to hold p
series Of meetings every month or six
weeks throughout the growing season.
At these meetings the possibilities of
crop production for the particular period
in question should be discussed. 1t is
the intention and purpose Of the extern
sion division Of the Georgia State Col
lege Of Agriculture TO issue a pamphlet
or poster each month which will keep
the people thoroughly informed as to
the following points,
"a. The possibilities of planting and
production for that particular month.
a. How to avoid insect pests and
diseases most successfully as attacking
plants and animals.
"3 How to preserve and can any
surplus food materials available.
~ What to do in the line Of general
conservation and provision for the fu-
ture.
THE BUSINESS MANS PART.
THE business man has always been
an important and constructive factor in
the life Of the community, and never
before in the history of the south IS
he destined to play so important part
provided he measures UP to his oppor-
tunity and discharges the duties, re-
possibilities and obligations resting
upon him in a businesslike manner.

must do in order to aid in the solution
of the situation which now confronts US
is to insure the producer OF a market.
Then he must undertake to finance d.
versified production. 1t costs money to
diversity New and varied assortment
Of implements must be purchased, in
creased applications Of fertilizers made
credit for the purchase of seeds and
for many other purposes obtained. Credit
has hitherto been based on cotton pro-
duction to the exclusion Of the growth
of diversified crops. The modification
of rent notes and rent contracts now
becomes essential, not that cotton pro-
ductlon should be eliminated or restrict
ed unduly, but that additional channels
of credit may be provided and varied
crop production promoted.
ut will also be the part OF the bust
ness man to provide the necessary ma
chinery, such as feed mills and corn
grinders and provide warehouses for po-
tatotes and, other perishable food crops.

DR.. soule then showed that In add
+ion vast quantities Of grain ana nay
must be grown to feed the 4,18S,OOO heao
of live stock and 22.295,230 chickens IN
Georgia. In fact, he pointed out that
there must be a tremendous INCREASE IN
ali kinds Of foods and foodstufs.
I'VE face a deficit Of 17,750.O0O oushels

He declared that the state was racing
a serious shortage in milk, butter anu
eggs. and stated that Georgia can easily
Increase the yield OF syrup from cane
ana sorghum so as to meet the de-
fciency Of 3,19s,45s gallons.
DIR. Soule declared no one need worry
about there not being a market Tor all
foodstuffs grown. He made the follow
ing suggestions for food conservation:
FOOD CONSERVATION.
"f We should grow staple fruit and
garden crops and let tho fancy and new
and untried things alone.
80. Let US grow a superaoundance
OF corn, sorghum, cowpeas, soy beans,
velvet beans, lima beans and the more
important truck and garden'crops which
may be used during the season In which
they are available and on which we must
depend for our supply OF canned goods.
"9. II we emphasize the production

(Journal staff Correspondent.)

MACON, Ca, April 24.-Dr. A. NJ.
soule. president of the State College
OF Agriculture at Athens, who delivered
the keynote address at the state food
conference here today, made a mastery
ard most comprehensive speech. and ono
which the state department of agricul-
ture will no doubt print in pamphlet
form for general distribution through
out the state.
DR.. Soule got right down TO brass
taoxs" and showed the delegates with
facts and figures that the south in COM
mon with the rest of the United States
and the world. is facing a grave food
crisis and that the only way our people
can avoid going hungry next winter Is
by greatly increasing the food crops
for both man and beast
He showed that last year the fifteen
stRtes Of the south imported 5000, 00o,-
900 worth Of food and that OF this
amount Georgia imported $50, 900, 600
worth-which was $50 worth Of human
and animal food for man, woman and
child in the state. He pointed out that
It will not be possible to obtain these
imports Of food this year and that Geor-
gia must not only raise Its own food
bur must produce q surplus.
Every one can do something to help"
said DR.. Soule THE smallest boy and
girl, the vigorous young man and wom-
an, the middle-aged and even the old
can add something in the way Of help
full service. No one is too small or too
obscure 70 cultivate little piece Of
ground, thus adding to the sum total OF
the food supply OF the state and the ma
ton. There must be no slackers in the
great army of food producers"
DR.. Soule furnished a number of ia
bles showing the kind of food neces-
sary to properly nourish human beings
and ne gave a number Of menus provid-
ing these food elements. He also show
ed how a one-horse farm should be d.
vided up in the production of various
food crops and what animals should
be raised.

that the accused men defied their own officers, in itself an offense calling for the death penalty in time of war, but they also murdered civilians and terrorized city. Members of Hous- toms police force were not entirely blameless in contributing to the causes which started the trouble, but the colored troops made bad situa- tion infinitely worse.
 In all 63 soldiers were court-mar- tialed. Forty-one received life impris- onment, and one was sentenced to two and one-half years and five were ac- quilted.
 This deplorable affair is much to be regretted, but it will have salu- tary effect and its lesson should be taken to heart by every enlisted man and all civilian authorities.

wifesmay be deaf to her husbands s excuses but the betting Is that she is not blind to his faults.
 Another pest is the man who, when Introduced to you, tries to break your fingers when he shakes hands because he wants to show you how strong he IS.
 And it has just about gotten so that If a man won't let his wife run him into debt over his head, she wants divorce because he is stingy.
 The man who Is always broke is lucky in one respect. He doesn't have 10 stammer and fake up lie when some other man wants to make touch.
 The women do not have any more troubles than the men. You get the impression that they have because 1t takes the women so much longer to tell about them
 The reason why most of us hate to hear another man bragging about him self is because he isn't bragging about us.
 Isn't it funny how easily a woman who knows nothing about business can manage a good business man?
 As soon as man believes he has a sufficient number of friends he gets yen to run for office and use them.
 When a man is feeling like a two- year-old and his stomach is letting him alone, he isn't happy until he celebrates his good health by eating and drinking too much and gets his system all out of whack again.
 There may be a few exceptions. But the average mans idea of a waste ot time is to play cards with his wife. After all, the easiest way to make money in this country is to pretend to show others how to make it.
