BIG SUPPLY BEET
SEED HAS ARRIVED

James w. Jones, sugar beet agri-
culturist for the local district of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, returned yesterday from Wash
ington, where he has been in confer
ence with department officials for
nearly one month in reference to
sugar beet seed. Mr.. Jones reports
that two shiploads of sugar beet seed
recently received in the United States
from Russia will be ample for the
demands of the coming growing sea-
son.
'It may be interesting to know
that since the beginning of the war
in Europe the growing of sugar beet
seed in the United States has increas-
ed to the extent that we are now
producing one-fourth of our actual
need" said Mr.. Jones. "This tre-
mendous increase means that within
a period of five years we will be pro-
ducing all the sugar beet seed needed
and instead of importing sugar beet
seed we will export it.

WOOL SPECIAL DRAWS
A LARGE CROWD

The government wool special,
which passed thru here Tuesday,
February 10, attracted consider
able crowd. Sheepmen came in from
as far as fifteen miles, and quite a
number of nearby farmers and bust
ness men attended. This wool
car" which is touring the west is
under the direction of experts from
the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
and the extension departments of the
state universities, who attempt to
solve the problems of the farmer and
stockman.
The lectures given by the men in
charge were principally on better
care of sheep and wool, especially in
grading of wool. The car contained
sheep illustrating the different
grades of wool as well as exhibits
mounted for the purpose of illustrat-
ing the different steps thru which
the wool passes after it leaves the
sleeps back. Much Importance was
placed on the breed Of sheep, and
on the grading of wool, before mar
keting. One farmer was heard to
remark that he had learned more in
ten minutes from the lecture, about
the care of wool, than he had been
able to learn in the past ten years of
experience. The Department of Ag-
riculture is doing, a great work for
the farmer, and we hope other cars
will visit Blackfoot in the future.

MUST RAISE BIG CROPS

WHY is there no systematized eff
fort in the United States to secure
a record acreage for this years crops
and a record yield, If the weather is
favorable? Unless we can produce
crops in unheard of abundance In
1917, the whole world may face
something like famine before the
1918 harvest is ready for garnering
Last years world supply was so
small that when the new crop comes
on it will find the world with practi-
cally no carried-over surplus. Eu-
ropes acreage is reduced, the
weather has so far been bad in
Europe, and the labor for farming
is not to be had. Already there has
been an actual crop failure in Argen-
tina, which is one of the worlds
storehouses. If the war continues,
enormous quantities of food will be
demanded, and if peace comes the
demand will be even larger, for in
the lands of the central powers are
10000, 900 people who are hungry
all the time now," according to Ger
man officials. When German ports
are once more opened there will be
such a demand for food as the mod
ern world has never known.
In Canada the dominion and pro-
vlncial governments are cooperating
with the farmers to put agriculture
on an emergency basis. The govern
ment is helping in all possible ways,
from the mobilization of labor to the
furnishing of guaranteed seed. This
work is being done in scientific
manner, and if the weather is favor
able, Canada expects to harvest a
crop one-third greater than her
greatest previous yield.
The United States is menaced with
war, and a similar course in this
country would be wise and patriotic.
Even the pacifists should approve OF
some such plan, for if we are allowed
to remain at peace we may be able
to help feed millions who might
otherwise starve.-Exchange.

IDAHO POTATOES PASS
AS MONEY IN CHICAGO

CHICAGO.-A newspaper reporter
using basket as a purse and pota-
toes as money, had little difficulty
today in getting about and making
purchases. The potatoes were from
Idaho and valued at retail at 31a
cents each.
The cashier of a moving picture
show accepted three of them for a
ticket. A street car conductor de-
clined them as fare, but the CONVEX
sation attracted the attention of
passenger who offered to buy the
whole supply at the rate of two for
a nickel.
A taxicab chauffeur accepted six
for ride of two blocks. ''If they
won't accept them, I'll pay the fare
and take them home myself" he ex-
planned. At five and ten cent store
the reporter bought two diamonds"
and picture frame with his tubers.

| desire to present the foregoing
to the beet growers for their careful
consideration. They will, of course,
have to use their own judgment in
the matter, as | do not desire to in
f1uence them to fouow a course that
does not appeal to them, because a
man is not likely to make success
Of anything to which he is not fully
converted. | know that this method
will work successfully if properly
done and in the right season.
| want to emphasize again the
necessity of this surface work being
done early-just as soon as the soil
can be worked and before crust
has had time to form on the surface
of the ground. This is important for
two reasons, first, when done early
the crust will not form and the tools
used will run deeper, and second, the
moisture will be retained near the
surface, which is very, very import
ant. Many of our farmers do not
fully realize the Importance of re-
tanning the moisture in the soil, so
that if we have unusually dry
wheather they will still be reasonably
certain of a good stand of beets.
Where the farmers prefer to pillow
the lands, they should be thoroly
narrowed and gone over with land
float first, forming fine mulch on
top. This also should be done just
as soon as the farmer can get on
the soil successfully without injur-
ing it. Then he will find the soil
will pillow much better, and instead OF
turning under a lot of dry surface
soil he will turn under fine and moist
soil, which he will find to be most
beneficial
A great many of our farmers are
not as careful as they should be in
the preparation of their seed bed and
a great deal of labor and tonnage Is
lost by reason thereof Therefore |
want to impress upon our beet grow
ers the necessity of early and thoro
preparation of the soil for the seed,
which is the foundation of the crop.

Home Seed Superior

LAS the result of extensive expert
ments it has been found that sugar
beet seed raised in the United States
is far superior to that imported from
Europe. The department of agricul-
ture is bending every effort toward
raising the quality to insure it's be-
coming very superior standard.
Prior to the beginning of the Euro
pean war we raised but very little
beet seed in the United States"
Mr.. Jones added that the depart
ment of agriculture has engaged
three experts of renown to solve the
problems of the raising of sugar

the infection is rarely satisfactory.
Prevention of the disease is easy and

1 to 500 solution of bichloride of

with a spray pump. After this has
dried a few hours, the floor should
be well covered with clean, bright
straw.
AS soon after foaling as possible,

chord with tincture of iodine. Apply
the iodine several times at intervals

the grasses averaged 10 to IL inches

grasses was very light during Octob-

The Difficulty

The difficulty in the way of the
practical application of this matter
is that so many poultry keepers are
dependent on hens for Matching. AS
long as we have late Matched chick
ems we will have late sitters. The
poultry keeper who wants to change
from late Matching to early Matching
must therefore either get broody
hens from some one else or use an
incubator After he has changed
the dates on his flock he will have
no trouble, especially with the Amer
lean breeds
Can 1t Be Done?
Every progressive poultry raiser
who has tried it, every agricultural
college and the government, have
data showing that early Matching will
produce fall and winter layers. In
the government flock during the past
winter the pullets Of the entire flock
averaged over 20 per cent in egg
production, and some pens made IS
per cent. That means, in plain
language, that the egg production for
all the pullets was one egg daily for
every five hens, and for some pens
one egg daily for every three hens.
This, too, when fresh eggs sold up
to rs cents per dozen in Washington.
This could not have been done except
by early Matching.

HATCH CHICKENS EARLY
Fresh Eggs viii be Scarce Next ran
and Winter-Isemedy Is III hahus
of the Poultry Man.

Did it ever occur to you that ma
ture REQUIRES her children to take
an annual vacation? She does, ana
nowhere do human beings puzzle
their brains over this fact more than
when the hens begin their yearly
holiday. This vacation is technically
called the "molting season. IL pc
gins during the late summer, inc
hens stop laying, and change their
suits of feathers for new ones. U.s.
ually they consume three or TOUR
months in the process. Most OF US
know this perfectly well, but are apt
to overlook the fact that very I'M
portant feature of the melting perlod
is that egg laying stops. We are I'M
reasonable and expect the hens to lay
all the time. When the hens take
this vacation new-laid fresh eggs are
scarce and remain scarce until the
pullets Matched during the preced-
ing spring begin to lay.
The Remedy
The remedy is very simple, and is
under the control of the poultry man.
The first step is to have chickens
Matched early, so that the pullets be-
gin to lay when the hens begin to
mott. This not difficult. Pullets OF
the American breeds begin laying at
about 7 months of age. Leghorn
pullets begin when about 6 months
old. North of the Ohio river this
means that all Matching must be over
by May / at the latest The best
plan is to have the chickens coming
at intervals during March and April.
The earliest Matched pullets will, OF
course, begin to lay first. If any or
them begin to molt,a their places will
be taken by the later ones and a
steady supply of eggs will be more
certain.

THE COUNTY UNIT

The bill making the county unit plan the
law for making party nominations in Geor-
gia, and which was overwhelmingly passed
by the house of representatives, has been
recommended by the senate committee and
will in all probability be passed by that
body also before this paper is printed. 1t
had been the unbroken rule in Georgia from
time immemorial until a few years ago, when
faction of politicians united all the dis
contented elements, OVERRIDE established
democratic practices and muzzled the minor
ity, procedure until then unheard of. With
one or two exceptions the county unit plan
has since prevailed. 1t safeguards the small
er counties, minimizes the power and infu-
ence of the vicious elements of the larger
cities, and puts the convention steamroller,
operated by daring and reckless partisans,
out of commission. The county unit is just
and fair, and it is inconceivable that there
should be opposition to it in any of the
smaller counties.

The Galloping Lie.
From the Triton Gazette.

A striking illustration of the difficulty
truth has in overtaking fiction is furnished
by the case of the unfortunate Berrien coun-
ty man who killed his wife and himself
He was insane, and his was the act of an
insane man-that, and nothing else. Yet
selective draft was in the public mind and
somebody imagined that he went crazy be-
cause of it; before this opinion came from
the third mouth it was stated as a fact, and
later, without investigation, somebody sent
story to the newspapers to that effect. Yet
Tyson was four years above draft age and
with four children dependent would not
have been subject to draft had he been four
years younger
Something more than dozen newspapers
have reached the Gazette office with ac-
counts of the murder and suicide, and not
one of them carried the true story In the
interest of truth, as soon as the facts were
learned the Gazette sent kilograms to four
of the dailies which had the story giving the
facts, yet none of them carried the correc-
ton, preferring doubtless to let the false
stand rather than acknowledge that they
had been wrong.
So the story will go on, from one to an
other, and from time to time, and the bal
ance of the country will believe that here in
South Georgia men are killing their wives
and committing suicide through dread OF
army service.

A WOMAN'S HEART.

A woman's heart is a savings bank
Where the love you deposit lies,
Gathering interest day by day
From the sunshine of the skies.
There isn't safer place, my lad,
To bury the treasure you'd keep
Than down in its beautiful vaults of dream
Where the tenderest blossoms sleep.
A woman's heart is the place to hide
Whatever you'd treasure best;
For she'll give it back as the years 90 by
In a love that's more than rest.
A woman's heart is storage vault
Where nothing breaks in to steal
Except the honor you fail to pay
And the love you forgot to feel
A love you have placed there once remains,
And you may forget, but she
Will give it back, if you want it so,
And smile as she hands the key.
woman's heart is fortress strong,
Where your foes may never come
With prancing steed and cleaning sword
And the rat-tat of the drum.
For that which you treasure she will defend
And, loud as the guns may roll,
! She'll stand in the breech to the very end
Z And then she will fight with her soul
