Half Your Living
Without Money Cost

A right or wrong start in 1917 will
make or break most farmers In the
South. We are all facing a crisis.
This war in Europe puts things IN
such uncertainty that no man can
foresee the future with any degree OF
clearness.
The sure and certain increase In
cotton acreage means lower cotton
prices next fall. Cost Of all food and
grain products is high. so high that
no one can afford to buy and expect
to pay out with cotton.
It's q time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food.
grain and forage supplies on your
own acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece of garden ground:
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living. 1t will
save you more money than you made
on the best 1--WE acres Of cotton you
ever grew!

Charbon Vaccination

To the Livestock Owners OF the State:
Due to the prevalence OF charbon
infection, in various sections OF the
state, this board earnestly advises
early incubation, or vaccila-
alton, this season on the part OF the
livestock owners in order to anticipate
any probable outbreak Of this disease
and for the purpose of having their
stock protected In ample time before
: the advent OF warm weather, which is
the charbon season.
Past experience has demonstrated
that bestI results are obtained when
animals are vaccinated against char
bon early in the spring so as to allow
Q sufficient time, in which to secure
protection, before the season sp-
proaches, when charbon infection usu-
ally develops.
The State Livestock Sanitary Board
strongly urges, therefore, that. in
those sections of the state In which
charbou infection has been known to
exist in previous years, vaccination OF
animals should be commenced not
later than the early part OF March.
IL stock owners will give this mat
tor their careful attention, it will in
crease the number of protected ami
mails st the beginning OF the charbon
season, and materially limit the spread
of the disease, should the coming
summer prove favorable to the devel-
opment of charbon infection.

Work on Coordination Of
Commissions Objects in
Washington Conferences

Washington. April 26-The great task
of co-ordinatng all the branches of work
to be taken up here by the British war
commission progressed SO far today that
the ground policy is laid for formal joint
conferences with the French commission
ers and American officials.
Foreign Minister Balfour devoted most
of the day to arranging the distribution
of the subjects to be taken up. The act
ual beginning of formal conferences has
been delayed both by the amount of in
formation to be prepared for American
government officials and by the desire to
postpone them until the French could
take part.
The discussions to date were stated to-
day TO have brought about complete
agreement by British and American OH
Gals as to the main principles involved.
In addition to the formal statement by
Mr. Balfour yesterday that no treay of
alliance was sought and to the financial
agreement which has already produced
