FARMERS UNION WILL
MEET NOVEMBER

MACON, Ca, Nov. 6.-Arrangements
for the annual meeting of the State
Farmers Union in Macon, Nov. 18th
and 14th, have practically been com
pleted. Headquarters at the Lanier
Hotel will be opened by Secretary
Fleming the day before the convention
assemblies, and representatives from
the local unions are requested to reg
lister promptly with him upon arrival
in Macon.
Three features aside from the an
nual election of officers will hold the
attention of the farmers in this con-
vention; a review of the successful
farming operations of the year; the
prospects and Intentions for the COM
ing planting season, and a statement
by Chas. IS. Barrett, national presi-
dent, of the conditions as he has
found them throughout this country,
especially their bearing on the farming
enterprise of the South, and particu-
larly of Georgia, of the international
situation in which this country is now
involved.
The continued success of the farm
ers of Georgia, measured on the ba is
of the gratifying results of the past
year depends very largely upon the
spirit of the Macon convention in the
manner in which the delegates from
local unions continue the general CO.
operation following that meeting.
Figures compiled on the farm prod
ucts of the United States for 1917 put
the value of the crops at $21 800, 100000
an increase in the value of eihgt AMI
L half billion dollars over the crops Of
1916. The year 1915 was commonly
known as the Big Crop Year. and yet
the value of this years crop is $10,S00,-
600, 900 greater than the value of the
1915 crops.
Grain crops alone were an increase
this year of one billion bushers over
last year
At the same time the statistics show
that there has been an actual decrease
in the number of food animals, and
this is feature which will be in
pressed upon the farmers at the Ma
con convention Georgia has shown
an increase in live stock development,
but despite this increase there is yet
vast necessity TO- the production Of
still more meat.
It is with these things the 1917 an
nual Farmers Un' On of Georgia will
deal with in its meetings at Macon
November 14tl1 and 18th.

FALL narrowed PIGS
need GOOD ATTENTION

Georgia must grow approximately
72,31S,000 pounds OF pork in addition
to what she did last year in order to
furnish sufficient amount for home
consumption. To this end the very
best of care should be given fall lit
tiers to see that no pigs are lost
through lack of proper attention at far
rowing time.
Housing Of some kind is absolutely
necessary if a large per cent of the
pigs farrowed are to be saved. II put
under roof, fewer pigs are laid upon
and killed. Very young pigs exposed
to rain and cold weather easily con-
tract thumps, rheumatism, or bronchi-
It's and die quickly. A dry house will
save most of the pigs that die young
Specifications for building small, port
able hog houses may be obtained by
writing to the Engineering Depart
ment, State College Of Agriculture.
Special attention should be given to
the SOW just before she is to farrow.
A week or ten days before the date of
narrowing she should be separated
from the rest of the herd and provid-
ed with shelter. If possible, still keep
her on pasture. Keep the sow's bow
els always in laxative condition, as
constipation at this time means trou-
BILE in farrowing. Such feeds as pas
ture grass, wheat brand and shorts.
and either buttermilk or skim milk
will be valuable in this respect
After narrowing the SOW should not
be fed for at least a day. A cool drink
Of fresh clear water, skim milk or but
termilk is all that she will need. Feed
should be given as slop for the first
week or ten days, after which the SOW
should gradually be put on grain diet
Legume pasture and milk along with
the grain will make the litter grow
as nothing else can. Pigs should be
encouraged to eat corn as soon as pos
sible and should be eating grain well
before they are weaned at eight weeks
of age.-Qra w. Arthur, State Col
lege Of Agricultural

live POULTRY NOTES
To SUIT YOUR NEEDS
Remove Unhealthy Chicks And Pay
Close Attention To Sanitation

Since chickens, if forced to, can take
care Of themselves on the farm at this
time of the year, the growing stock
is often neglected However, good
care should be given especially at this
time.
When the chicks are about six weekg
old mixture of one part oats and
| two parts cracked corn can be substi-
tuted for the chick feed. Dry mash,
sour milk and fresh water should al
ways be kept before them Plenty Of
shade and an abundance of green feed
will do much toward keeping the
chicks in healthy condition.
Crowding in hot, poorly ventilated
houses at night will reduce any gain
chick may make on the range during
the day An indication of crowding is
the dying of chicks one at time and
a poor, thin, droopy condition. There
should be 4 chicks to the square foot
of floor space in the colony house. and
they should be taught to roost while
young by putting the roost about IL
inches above the floor.
Separating the sexes as soon as pos
sible will make the pullets grow much
faster, prevent crowding and reduce
the cost of raising The male birds
that are not wanted for breeding pur-
poses should either be confined to a
small pen for fattening or they should
be caponized. Instructions for capon-
izing may be secured by writing the
Poultry Department of the State Col
lege of Agriculture.
Cleanliness in caring for chicks can
not be emphasized too much. Wet,
sloppy mashes or mouldy feeds should
not be used. The dish in which the
sour milk is fed should be washed at
least once a day and care should be
taken that the milk has not become
mouldy Clean water is very essential
to the health of chicks since it acts as
a tonic. The body contains about 65
per cent water. All chicks with lin
Der neck, colds, sorehead or chicken
pox should be removed from the flock
as soon as possible.
To clean chicken houses spray with
solution of one part Of crude car
bolic acid to three parts of kerosene
oil. Another spray of one hundred
parts whitewash to one part crude
carbolic acid is perhaps even better
When crude carbolic acid cannot be
obtained either creosote or some good
stock dip can be substituted.
AT this time many hens have stop
ped laying on account of old age, lack
of proper food or moultiness. These
birds should either be killed or sold
and especially those over three years
old showing the above symptoms. Prop
er feeding will do as much as any
other one thing to start the flock lay
ing early in the fall. Rape may be
planted in September or October to
furnish green feed for chickens
throughout the winter-(W. Fl. Allen,

AMERICAN GOODS IN
TURKEY HARD TO SELL

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. e.
used by German business in
its commercial penetration of Turkey
are described and criticized in bull
letin entitled Turkish Markets for
American Hardware" issued today by
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, Department of Commerce.
German endeayors in this field, says
the report have been determined and
adroit. Systematic dumping, extern
sive imitation of patented American
articles, and a persistent and care
fully organized solicitation of the
trade have been salient features In
the German capaign to dominate the
ly ii the industrial activities of the
Tuetonic nations.
AS is the case with various other
important lines American hardware
has not as a rule sold directly to the
distributor. In normal times
it is sold through few lrsm in Ham
burg and and Bremen. These concerns
have houses in New York, but it is
erroneous to consider them as Amer
lean export organizations. They are
German jobbers, working according
to German methods and for German
interests. They ship American ar
ticles to Turkey only if they can be
replaced on the same terms by Ger
man articles. Under such conditions
it is an easy matter to market imita-
tators, according to the author of the
government report, Consul General
G, B. Ravndal. formerly at Constan>
tinople Sometimes their catalogues
show American articles on one page
and the German imitation on the OPP
posite page, with the advantages of
price, quickly delivered, etc of the
Gelman conspicuously indicated.
These limitations are very close,
proceeding even to the brand and
name of the article, and there is al
ways a reduction in price. That the
Germans keep the. American articles
in the catalogues at all must be as
cribed to the fact that there are peo-
pie in Turkey who appreciate the ex-
cellence of the American product, in
spite of all manipulations and de-
captions, and insist on having what
they want
1t is surprising to learn that In
spite of conditions under which it is
sold in Turkey, American hardware
had gained an important position be-
fore the war, solely on its merits. 1t
may be surprising even to American
manufacturers, many of whom ar
probably unaware that their goods are
sold there at all. Of all the shelf
hardware sold in Turkey, fully go
per cent is sold as America@ and
20 per cent of it actually American.
The halding of 90 per cent of the couA-
try's business in a given line, without
the least effort to obtain it, is a ia,
that commends itself to the careful
consideration of all those whose wares
are involved. Possibilities to which
such conditions point when the war
is over are fully discussed in the re
port.
The author has outlined parctical
methods of getting around the old
difficulties in the way of selling goods
directly to Turkey, once the war is
over, and he has described the de-
mand for the various articles in de-
tail The nature of the competition
that may be expected in each case
is carefully pointed out.

SUNKEN SHIPS BEING RAISED
War Brings Day of Resurrection for
Many Vessels for Years Listed
as Discarded Wreck.

Certainly the day of resurrection
has come, for ships. Hulks long since
sunk, all but forgotten, rise in their
very bones, take on renewed bodies
and with the rhythmic heartbeat of
new engines feel the blood coursing in
their veins once more, observes the
Boston Transcript Abandoned coal
bargeS, hullS of whale ships, of little
cargo carriers that have lain at dis
mantled wharves for half century,
struggle from their graves in the ooze,
feel again the measured clink of caulk-
ing iron, lift proud topmasts and shout
with joy from the very diaphragms Of
their swelling sails as the forefoot
thrills to the blare of blue water
rise as well and with a vigor of en-
gine life such as did not exist in their
day, go down to the sea.
The sea shore Is probed for these,
and the very lakes send their quota.
At Ashland, Wis, for instance, on Lake
Superior, the side-wheeler Emerald
sunk at the slip a years ago, is on
her way up. The ore-carrier Sevona,
which broke in two on a shoal six
years since, is to be raised and put to-
gether again. And so the reports come
from Slip and shOal the world over.
If the war, with all its menace and
its heartache, can give up once more a
mighty merchant marine and revive
| the proud traditions of American sea-
manship, as it bids fair to, it will have
done one great thing for the country.

CHAPTER XIV.

AS they disappeared after q scramble
mel they had entered by, roar went
up behind them like the birth of earth
qunkes. Looking back over his shoul-
der, King saw Yasmini come back into
the holes mouth, to stand framed in 1t
and bow acknowledgment. For the
space Of five minutes she stood in the
great hole, smiling and watching the
crowd below. Then she went, and the
guards began to loose random volleys
ut the root and brought down hun
dredweights Of splintered stalactite.
Within n minute there were a hum
dred men busy sweeping up the splin-
ters. In another minute twenty Zakka
Khels had begun a sword dance. yell
ing like demons. A hundred joined
them. In three minutes more the
whole arena was a dinnlng whirlpool,
and the rivers voice was drowned in
shouting and tho stamping Of naked
feet on stone.
Gomez urged Ismail, and led the
way.
Kings last impression was of earth's
womb on ere and Of hellions brewing
wrath. The stnlnctites and the hurry
ing river multiplied the dancing lights
into million, and the great roof
hurled the din down again to make
confusion with the new din coming up.
Ismall went like a rat down run,
and Il became so dark that King had
to follow by ear. He imagined they
we're running back toward the ledge
under the waterfall yet, when Ismall
called halt at last, painting. CROPPED

Poet and Blacksmith,

The professor came to be a neigh
Dor of the blacksmith in the year
1887. AS he walked daily past the
smithy and the simple comfortable
home of the blacksmith, he came to
watch and know the kindly man. It
was not long before they became good
friends. The blacksmith was proud
of his home, and doubtless told the
professor how happy he was when, in
1925, he had made his first arrange
ments to buy it from a man named
Torrey Hancock. And perhaps some
times they talked about the wonderful
spring that was famous for it's clear
and sparkling waters, for this was
right at hand. Below the spot where
the spring gushed forth, the women
Of the town still did their washing.
The name of the street where lived
the blacksmith and the professor is
the same today as in their time. Il

Rewa Gunga spoke truth in Delhi
when he assured King he should some
day wonder at Yasmini's dancing.
She became joy and bravery and
youth She danced story for them
Of the things they knew. She was the
lawn light touching the distant peaks.
She was the wind that follows 1t,
sweeping among the jumpers and kiss

'ough guards had TO run round the
arena with dubbed butts and beat

mobbed her. And every movement
every gracious wonder-curve and step
with which she told her tale was as
purely Greek as the handle on Kings
knife and the figures on the lamp-bowls
and as the bracelets ON her arm.
Greek
Aud she half-modern Russian, ex-

Who taught herr There is nothing

And when the crowd defeated the
arena guards at last and burst through
the swinging butts to seize her and
ding her high and worship her with
mad barbaric rite, she ran toward the
shield. The four men raised it shoul-
der high again. She went to il like
a leaf in the wind-sprung on it as If
wings had lifted her, scarce touching
IL with naked toes-and leapt to the
bridge with a laugh.
She went over the bridge on tiptoes,
like nothing else under heaven but
Y0smlnl at her bewitchingest. And
without pausng on the far side she
danced up the hewn stone stairs, dlved
into the dark hole and was gonel

He could have heard nothing less, for

from the tumult.
"WhltherT the Afridl shouted In

followed as fast as Ismail could shoul-

men, deafened, stupeficd, numbed, al
most cowed by the ovation they were
giving the "Heart of their Hills"
