this "a orning from Senator Porter 81
ME- Cufnber Of Mort 1akota, who has
entered actively into the campaign in
protest sof 4 the proposed reduction OF
wheat prices by the federal food cons
troll board. .l4
The assurances from the Dakota So
Ion brought considerable satisfaction
to the commercial organisations and
the grain growers Of the northwest,
who believe that a victory, has been
won and the threatened imposition

the farmers arguments before the

The general campaign, launched by

to protect the farmers, spread over
every section Of the grain growing
states, late. reports have shown st.
Paul played an important part in urg-
ing the control board to place a high

PLEASED WITH
WAR ACTION OF UNITER STATES

MELBOURNE, Australia, June A.
Qualification over the fact that the
United States is now actively on the
side Of Great Britain and her allies in
the far is expressed by the newspapers
Of Australia.
australians of every class and creed
will join gladly with the people OF
Great Britain in welcoming America
into the pact which binds us to our
gallant European brothers in arms,
says the Melbourne Age. And our
welcome to America is not the less
cordial because most of us had all but
despaired until quite recently that she
would ever respond to the stimuli
which has already sent 100000 Austral-
ian lads to venture death in pursuit OF
anw unselfish and respondent ideal on
the tortured battlefelds of France.
America at war will devote her collos-
cause and justified our action in the
manner unexceptional."
"That the United States should have
decided to join the Allies in the war
is a tremendous event in the history Of
the world" said the Melbourne Argus
1T is certainly the most motentous
event of the war since the fateful days
OF August, 1914. 1t is fitting that a
virile nation like the United States
should decide to fight in defense of CIV
ilization. The United States will prove
a strong ally-strong in influence and
in resources"
The Sydney Daily Telegraph, which
had frequently shown Impotence with
President Wilson's policy, said:
America at war will devote her collos-
sal strength to clearing the earth OF
the curse of Prussianism."
The Sydney Sun, an important even
ing paper, asserted that "the worl i
may truthfully say of these American
cousins of ours that they never Went
to war in spirit of mere greed nor
with tyrannous ideals set before them.
Their history places them spiritually
beside the great democracies of France
and Britain, and opposed them to the
German ideals of military conquest 70.
conquest's sake. Historically America
on the battlefield has been ON the side
of the angels, and once again sh9
fights with the forces of freedom and
honor against the darker powers of
cruelty and tyranny with which the
earth is periodically cursed"
"The mere fact that the first peoples
voice to be heard speaking for modern
liberty is still in the battle has heart
ened Up the whole world" declares the
Sydney Bulletin.

What Georgia Can
And Should Do
Andrew M. scuie, President Georgia
State College Of Agriculture.

Georgia produced last year about
$3.50, 000, 100000 worth of food products
including the sale and slaughter of
animals raised on her farms. This
sum can be increased by $100,000,000
during the present year. To do this
corn should be planted on the usual
basis, and in addition on the areas
on which winter oats were destroyed
by the February freeze. II this were
done we should be able to raise APP
proximately 100,0OO,000 bushels Of
corn. We can certainly double the
area in sweet and Irish potatoes. The
hay crops of Georgia can easily be
quadrupled since cowpeas, soy beans,
velvet beans, corn, sorghum, kaffr
corn, Sudan grass, millet and various
other crops may be used for this pur-
pose. The planting of these hay crops
may be done any time in the next six
ty days. Establishing a hay crop
land and setting aside a sufficient
area to grow the necessary tonnage.
If we do not provide the forage need.
ed for our live stock they will lose
their efficiency, as the chances are we
will not be able to obtain food of this
character from the west next fall on
account of railroad congestion.
Every farmer should make his plans
now to grow at least wheat for ten
persons. This would be seventy
bushels. If this were done Georgia
would supply herself with all the
wheat needed in 1918. Wheat may be
planted with advantage in cotton land
after hay crops have been gathered
Our deficiency in wheat may be over
come somewhat by planting upland
rice, and all the truck which can pos
sibly be needed by our towns and cit
les can be easily produced If the far
mer, the vacant city lot owner and the
gardener systematic their efforts.
Sorghum should be grown on every
farm for syrup. In an emergency SUI
gar can be made from it. While we
can not Immediately increase the num-
Der of cows and beef cattle, no breed
ing animal should be slaughtered and
all calves should be fed out as rapid
ly as possible. There is no reason in
the world why we should not double
the number of hogs maintained on
the farms in the northern part Of the
state. If steps in the right direction
are taken promptly. we. can supply
ourselves with all the meat needed
for local consumption. The Importance
of increasing the corn crop can not
be. stressed too strongly as It sup
plies the chief grain ration for our
work stock and in an emergency may
be made to take the place of wheat
in the human dietary. There is no
reason why we should not double the
output Of our poultry yards.
Vigorous action along the fines in
dicated will alone save us from the
disastrous situation which now con-
fronts us.

Some Facts
Concerning Hog Cholera
Or. w. M. 6urson, Professor of veter-
mary Med, State Col. Of Agriculture.


Hog cholera is an infectious disease.
1t is caused by germs. These germs
are present in the blood and all parts
of the sick hog. The germs will live
in infected soil for long time.
Hog cholera may be spread by any
thing that comes into contact with the
sick hog, the dead carcass or premi-
ses occupied by or contaminated by
sick hogs or their excrement.
Hogs suffering from mild cases of
hog cholera spread the germs far and
wide until death or complete recovery
takes place.
Wallow holes harbor infection for a
long time. Disinfect them.
Hogs may become infected with
cholera by being fed on hotel and
restaurant garbage containing pork
scraps. If you must feed this mate
rial protect your hogs with serum.
Hogs fed on offal from slaughtering
develop cholera and many other dis
eases. This should be prohibited by
law.
No breed of hogs are naturally i'm
mune to cholera. All are susceptible.
Hog cholera serum will prevent hog
cholera. It will cure some cases in
the early stages of the disease. Early
treatment of sick herds gives best re-
suits.
The length of time treated hogs are
immune after treatment depends on
many factors. such as age. environ
ment, and method Of treatment.
Serum alone is simple to admins
ter, not apt to do harm and generally
produces only temporary immunity.
Serum simultaneous (serum and vi
rus) if carelessly or injudiciously ad-
ministered, may do great damage.
When properly used confers perma-
nent immunity.
On infected premises disinfectants
should be literally used Coal tar disin-
fectant. is cheap and effective. It
should be used in 4 per cent strength
and applied to hog houses by means
of spray pump.
Whitewash containing 5 per cent
coal tar disinfectant serves a double
purpose. 1t deodorizes and disin-
fects.
Good drainage is essential in all
sanitary work.
Rotation of hog lots and pastures
does much to keep the hogs healthy.
