SIN AND A HALF MILLION
POUNDS OF MEAT FOOD.
What the City and Country Can
Produce In the Form Of Poul-
try and Eggs.

If poultry production is doubled
next year, as is readily possible with
this city and country cooperation
we will have 6,500,O00,000 pounds OF
meat food, in the form of poultry and
eggs. This will release almost that
many pounds of other meats,-pork
and beef, for our Armies in Europe,
and for the armies and civilian pop
ulations Of the Allies.
If we do NOT produce this amount
of poultry we may find ourselves
short of meat food to just that ex-
tent.
1t is patriotic duty of the utmost
Importance that every farmer and
every person in town do his part in
producing this increase of poultry,
which will help to win the war. 1t
is also a profitable proposition for

for winter use they will further re-
duce living expenses.
The poultry will be handled as a
by-product of the farm and back
yard, each flock being large enough
in numbers to utilize the scraps and
waste from the kitchen. and the 'pick-
ups" around the place, supplemented

not only to increase our poultry pro-
duction, but to do it economically;
to do it at a very little cost, by turn
ing the waste of kitchen and back
yards all over the United States into
chicken end eggs. Fowls are the only
medium through which good deal
of this waste can be transformed in
to a valuable food product.

The veterinary department, DR..

ly to caution farmers against the
time-honored practice of placing
brood sows in peanut fields, because
the experience of the past has, con-

nection is paralysis of the hind quar-

brood sows out of the peanut fields.

Remarkable results have been at
tanned this year IN the suppression OF
hog cholera by the State veterinary
department., under the direction OF
DR.. Peter F. Behnsen. AS a result
of the persistent and thorough field
work directed toward the suppress
sion of hog cholera, the Losses for
1917 will not exceed 5 per cent OF
the total production in Georgia. In
1914 these losses went as high as
80 per cent; in 1915, they exceeded
rs per cent, while in 1916 they were
about Is per cent. These figures
will indicate the splendid progress
that is being made in the suppress
sion of this serious disease in the
state.
The unusually high commercial
value of hogs at this time has de-
manded a more thorough and more
active campaign against hog chole-
ra than has ever before been waged.

u. s. MAKES BREAK
LOCAL GERMANS
TO STAND BACK
OF PRES. WILSON

News of breaking diplomatic rela-
tons between Germany and the Unit
ed States was received with mingled
feelings by Richmondites today.
Leading Germans view the action
with regret.
William H. Duning, leading German
American, who was decorated by the
Kaiser. says the rupture brings sad
ness to him.
But, Of course, we are American
citizens and we will support this ma
tion,' he said. Whenever a German
swears allegiance to another flag he
supports that flag. There will be no
in this country"
Hans N. Kohl, who is a German
leader also, could not be located for
a statement.
President Kelly, of Earlham, lead
ing peace advocate, says he does not
see how the United States could re-
fuse to sever relations with Germany.
However, we hope this action will
not result in war;" he added
Professor Allen d. Hole, president
of the Friends Peace Society, takes
substantially the same position.
Paul Comstock, who was captain of
F Company during the Spanish-Ameri-
can War, declines to say whether he
would again seek to lead company
of Richmond fighters if war was de-
clared He recently organized a chap
ter of the Red Cross here.

Won Bernstorff of his first caller today
was whether any definite action had
been taken when informed no informa-
tion was available he quickly began to
talk of other related subjects, especial
ly whether the prospect of peace would
remain should the United States sever
diplomatic relations.
He said he believed that even if a
break should come President Wilson
would continue his efforts to restore
peace to the world, possibly through
the Swiss government. 1t was during
this discussion that his private tele-
phone rang.
You say relations have been brok-
en- off and that the President is going
to congress at o'clock" he said, in
response to what was told him over
the wire.
Ambassador Reserves Comment.
Are you sure?, Well, maybe that
is right. No, l have no comment to
make and nothing to say"
Confirmation of the information
quickly was obtained and then the am
bassador informed Countess Won
Bernstorff of the news. Upon return
ing he explained how sorry he was
that the break had to come, and add
ed:
Il am not surprised. My govern
ment will not be surprised either. The
people in Berlin knew what was bound
to happen if they took the action they
have taken. However, / have simply
been here to carry out orders of my
government. have had no official in
formation either from my government
or from the United States since pre-
sented the note which brought this

Attaches Are Informed.
Attaches of the embassy were called
to the ambassadors library Immediate
ly after and told what had happened.
Many began preparing to remove their
personal effects. The embassy itself
quickly became silent The clicking
of typewriters ceased and the CLERKS
stopped working to talk about the pos
sibilities of war and how they were
going to get back to Germany.
In the mind Of every person in the
embassy, from the ambassador down
to the butler who answered the front
door, there always has been the con-
viction that the severance of diplomat
ic relations between the United States
and Germany could be followed by
nothing else than war.
One Life Will Mean Crash.
They all feel that the first American
life lost as the result Of the new sub
marine campaign will bring the crash.
After sending his message to the
public printer and arranging for the
Joint session, President Wilson went
calmly about his routine work. Going
to the cabinet room in the executive
offices, he signed a number of letters
and commissions. Having decided on
his course he waited with confidence
the renewed signs that the country
stood back of him. Secretary Lansing
and Secretary Tumulty, the only two
men who saw the President during the
morning said he was grave and undis-
turbed

city, congressman-elect, expressed re-
gret today when informed of the sev-
erance of diplomatic relations between

not be taken unless some overt act
was committed by the Germans in

"Severing of diplomatic relations be-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Count Won
Bernstorff has arranged with the
Swiss minister Or. Paul Ritter to take
over the German embassy. The lie.
tails Of the transfer will be arranged
when the German ambassador says
goodbye to Secretary Lansing.
Count Won Bernstorff did not know
the manner Of his leaving the United
States or what steps would have to
be taken.
"This is my first experience Of the
kind" said he, land will have to in.

It is thought doubtful by some that
the entente allies will grant any such
passage as was granted to the Aus
trisn ambassador. In that event the
German ambassador might choose to

NEUTRAL NATIONS
BRING ON ACTION

RIO JANEIRO, Feb. 3-The German
declaration of unrestricted warfare
was the logical outcome of the timid-
ity of neutral nations in the opinion
of "a Noite." The paper says:
Nobody will deny that the act of
Germany is perfectly logical in the
face of the attitude of the United
States, the strongest neutral nation,
with regard to the preceding events.
The German defiance is the logical
consequence of the timidity shown by
neutral nations"
