MAY BE PAPER CLOTHES
FOR YOU NEXT SUMMER

Atlanta, Ga > Jan. 12.-You
may be wearing paper clothes next
summer if wool and cotton go much
higher. Experiments with paper
have produced what is said to.he q
really serviceable fabric for summer
clothing. Matches in the pocket
might he a bit more dangerous than
with wool or cotton clothes, but the
wearing quality is said to be iirs
class, and the looks entirely salts
factory.
Paper clothing is not such a radi-
cal departure as it might sound
upon first blush, for very pretty
fabrics are always being made from
fibres that are basically the same as
paper, while many people who
think they are sporting silk around
their necks are really wearing wood
neck ties.

HOW PEANUTS SAVED

The Observer publishes here some
extracts from q letter written by l..
| II. Sessions, Cashier of the Farmers

terprise, Ala. 10 James Y Bitch, OF
The First National Bank of Valdos-
Ia, touching the peanut crop as a
substitute for cotton. We publish
Fit because Of the general interest in
| this county in the peanut as a
money crop. The letter says in
part:
THE peanut crop has saved our
section this year. In that year
1914, when cotton prices dropped to
such a low level, u great many
farmers were obliged to sacrifice
their crops, and were left almost
bankrupt, but bega9 planting pea
nuts, and this fall will find our
farmers generally in better condi-
ton than they have ever been.
eve have one customers who fell
behind with us $500 in 1914, and
with 3 plows has paid up this fall,
We have ,ots of other cases like this.
We did not average over a bale and
half of cotton to the pillow this sea.
son, and orr town received $500
bales Of cotton against 1000 bales
in 1914. However, with a large
peanut crop our collections have
been better this fall than we have
had in several years, and our de-
posts have increased $50, 00n since
September /.
The streets have been filled with
peanuts, for the past 90 days, and
this crop has taken the place OF
cotton. We have in connection
with peanuts, large hog crop which
will necessarily come when the land
is planted in peanuts.
'The farmers who planted pea
nuts this year have all made good
money, and we are all pleased with
the results. The oil mill here has
been crushing peanuts for three
months, ard will run until late
next spring. The manager Of the
mill is very enthusiastic over the
proposition, and is making money,
They are paving $500 per ton to-
day ."-Moultrie Observer.

HIGH PRICES MAY
INCREASE PELLAGRA

That there may be an increase in
pellagra during the coming year on
account of the rise in the cost of
foodstutfs is the fear expressed in a
statement issued by the United
States Public Health Service.
AS u result of government re
searches it was found that pellagra
is produced by an insufficient,
poorly balanced diet and that it
can both be prevented and cared
by the use of food containing ele-
ments in the proportion required
by the body, The application of
this knowledge greatly reduced pei
lagra in 1915 as compared with
previous years. This reduction is
believed by experts OF the Public
Health Service to have been due to
improved economic conditions which
enabled wage earner5 to provide
themselves with better and more
varied diet and to wider dissent
nation Of the knowledge of how the
disease may be prevented. It is
is feared, however, that pellagra
may increase in 1917 by reason of
an increase in food cost out of pro-
portion to the prosperity now en-
joyed by this country.
The great rise in the cost of for
age, particularly cottonseed meal
and hulls, is causing the people in
many localities to sell their COWS
and thus there is danger that they
will deprive themselves of milk. one
of the most valuable pelIagra- pre-
venting foods. The high cost of
living has further served to bring
about reduction in many families
in the amount of meat, eggs, beans
and peas consumed, all of which
are pellagra prophylactics. In ef-
fecting economies of this nature the
general public should bear in mind
the Importance of a properly bal
anced diet and refrain from exclud-
ing, if possible, such valuable dis
ease preventing foods. 1t is be,
lieved tina; unless this is done there
will be a greater incidence of pei
agra next spring,

High Grade Piedmont Pulverized
Limestone

High Grade PULVERIZED LIMESTONE
comes from a clean quarry, containing nothing
but high calcium Limestone Nothing but
clean stone goes to the Crushers. No quarry
in the country surpasse8 ours in uniformly pure
stone and absence of sand, clay or dirt.
After the preliminary crushing, the stone is
passed through sixty-foot rotary steel dryer.
In this way we remove about 200 pounds per
ton of natural moisture. Otherwise You
would pay for this moisture.
After the drying process, the stone is pull
verized in heavy duty Cement Pulverizing
Mills The finished material is a fine powder.
Every particle is not only available, but inn
medately available. There is absolutely no
waste Every pound you see will be utilized
in the soil.
There is no Limestone on the market that
approaches our High Grade Pulverized Lime
tone in purity fneness, dryness and avaabi-
lily, and quick lasting and economical results.

Early Cotton viii Beat the Boil
Weevil.

The above fact is well known by
us alt. That there are several kinds
of early cotton is also we'll under
stood.
What kind will YOU plant?
This is at present the most impor-
tant question that confronts the
South Georgia cotton planter
Will you plant q well know
tried and true variety, or will you
experiment? If you are financially
independent you might afford to try
new tangled varieties, if not, you
had better stick to the kind you
snow will make cotton and plenty
oft.
Last year | planted a 40 horse
farm in SIMPKINS IDEAL cotton
on stiff red land, and made q heavy
yield.
The best of these seed I saved,
ginned them on my own gin, from
s to 20 bales at 4 run, taking par
ticular pains to clean up all foreign
seed, that they should not be mixed.
The IDEAL is a large boiled,
heavy fruiting, and the earliest ma
turing of any cotton that does well
in this country.

Two Grades
Piedmont Ground Limestone
Best of Its Glass

Piedmont Ground Limestone is made from
the same stone as High Grade Pulverized
Limestone. Like all other ground limestone,
however, it is manufactured from the screen
ings from the Crusher. For this reason any
foreign matter like clay or dirt that adheres to
the stone goes into the finished product. In
our case such impurities are negligible because
our stoneis naturally clean.
Piedmont Ground Limestone is coarser, un-
dried, and more slowly available than High
Grade Pulverized Limestone.
Like all other ground Limestone it requires
a larger application for equal results.
1t is equal to any ground limestone in Geor-
giA except our High Grade PuIverized Lime
stone. 1t is superior to ordinary screenings
because it comes from a quarry free from sand,
dirt or clay.
1t is used by only small percentage of our
customers as compared with High Grade Pull
verified Limestone.
