SAYS VELVET BEANS
WORTH $44 PER TON
MILLS ARE SAID TO BE MAKING
CONTRACTS AT PRICES EN-
TIRELY TOO LOW.

In view of the fact that the farm
ers of Terrell county have grown
thousands of acres of velvet beans
this year, and later on will have i'm
mense quantities of this product for
sale, information The News has
received from the Georgia State Bu-
reau of Markets is of timely interest.
It has been brought to the atten-
ton of the bureau that some mills
in Alabama have gone into the coun-
try and made contracts for future
supplies of velvet beans at prices en-
tirely too low, considering the food
value of velvet bean meal. In order
to arrive at some idea of fair val
uation of this product, the bureau
has made careful investigation and
finds that the actual food value of
pure velvet bean meal is greater
than that of cotton seed meal This
has no reference to its value as a
fertilizer. This test as to food value
shows that in calculating the pro-
tein, carbohydrate and fat contents
the velvet bean meal yields 150,52O
calories to the 100 pounds, whereas,
7 per cent. cotton seed meal only
yields 140,660 calories to the 100
pounds. 1t is further shown that vel
vet bean meal made from the bean
and the pod mixed yields 1892
calories to the 100 pounds. This is
practically the same as per cent.
cotton seed meal, which is selling
right around $4,000 per ton. It must
also be borne in mind that the manu-
featuring expenses on velvet bean
meal is no where near as much as
that on cotton seed meal.
Farmers should figure over this
carefully before entering into future
contracts for supplying velvet beans.

the lessons and sessions unusually at

SENATOR TAKES A CRACK
AT HIS SAVANNAH CRITICS

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Senator
7. w. Hardwick WAS today asked for
a statement relative to the action of
the Greater Savannah Commercial
Club, of Savannah, in asking his ex-
pulsion from the senate on the
grounds that he has opposed the adj
ministration in certain phases of it's
war policy.
Months ago." said Senator Hard
wick, "this same association made
public criticism of me along the same
lines. When informed that their crit
icism rested on a deliberate misrep-
resentation of one of my public
speeches it did not have the manli-
ness nor the fairness to retract its
ISLANDERS and its false insinuations.
As I stated publicly then, l again
state publicly that any statement
made by any one of these men to the
effect that l am not as loyal to this
country as any one of them or any
body else in America is deliberate,
willful and unqualified lie.
"In their greed to coin money out
of this war, in their effort to secure
environments, contracts and other fl
nancial favors from the powers that
be, these people seem prepared to
descend to any level of personal
abuse and go to any length in order
to bootlick the administration. For
these qualities, so strikingly develop
ed they merit and have earned my su-
preme contempt, and I can only be
thankful, for the honor of the state.
that they represent an insignificant
minority of it's people"
