SAVE WINTER OATS FOR SEED

Washington, D. C.-Farmers in
thu South who have winter oats Of
good quality are urged to save them
for seed rather than to feed them.
This crop winterkilled very general

specialists Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture say the in

will be very short. Many counties
in the Southeastern States will have
Ia purchase all their seed from 9th
er localities, and those favored sec
tio where partial or full crop
"a produced should save every
available bushel to meet this de-
nland. Farmers are urged 10 feed

WHY THE CORN BELT
is COMING HERE

The State Department of Agri-
culture, through the survey Of its
Market Bureau, working prepare
tory to safeguarding farm products
OF food stuffs the next two years, or
during the war shortage" is con-
WINGED that the corn belt ultimate
ly is coming to the heart of the old
cotton belt, largely to the State Of
Georgia. Already it is clearly evi-
dent that war conditions" and
demands are fast bringing the coun.
try to the period Of very large sub
3titution Of corn bread for wheat
flour. Here are some interesting
and important figures, illustrative Of
what may be expeeted-much Of
which has already come:
Reserve stock of American wheat
May, 1916---- 100000 Blu
Reserve stock American wheat end
of May, 1917---- 100000 Blu.

Total crop U. S. winter and spring
wheat this year will be (estimated)

Seed demand in U. S. this year
-------------300, 100000, Blu.
Seed demand in U. S. from this
rop-~-------90,0 100000, Blu.
Therefor, if the law OF supply
and demand, backed by necessities
Of war aud executed to meet those
are to control, crop of
SIC, coo, 100 bushels Of American
wheat is going to be called upon to
our actual minimum de-
mand Tor 9l0, 5000 bushels, thus
presenting shortage of 270,000,-
90 bushels, or more than one half
the normal food supply demand of
this country on its own wheat crop.
That can mean only half ration of
-four for the people of this country
and the necessary substitution of
the next best sthing-corn bread.
The demand for corn-meal, there
fore, is going to be relatively in
creased. Food crop production in
Georgia has turned considerably
more to corn this year than in the
great past and next year-assuming
foundation of expert opinion to be
good, that the war win not be short
the reason for an even larger
corn crop than whatever
this years will yield vii! before
that time be self evident.
Therefore, the expressed opinion
Of the market experts of the Geor-
gia Department of Agriculture that
the corn belt is moving to and
around Georgia.

GRANDEEs OF SPAIN.
Curious Hat Etiquette That Marks
Their Three Glasses.

Their Three Glasses.
A grandee Of Spain enjoys the priv
lege, granted him many hundreds Of
years ago, of remaining covered" in
the presence Of his sovereign. This
custom dates from the period when,
according to the theory then held, the
king was 1.-The first among equals"
The ancient formula always at the
coronation of the kings Of old Spain
was, "We, your equals, choose you to
reign over u.s." And the king assented
In this declaration of his mobiles.
There was time when all grandees
of Spain wore their hats in the pres
ence Of the king, but in time the idea
of caste began to prevail even among
the grandees, with the result that they
were eventually divided into three
classes, and these classes were distin-
guished by the hat etiquette.
The first class entered the'royal pres
ence covered; the second class entered
uncovered and, after an advance Of q
few steps, put on their hats, unbidden
by the king, and the third class also
entered uncovered, but did not Cover
until requested to do so by the king.
Then, according to the etiquette, "all
were equal"
There have been grandees who were
not Spaniards, notably the Duke Of
Wellington, upon whom the Cortes con-
ferred the honor in recognition Of his
services to the state.

Judging a Cigar.

How can the ordinary person who
smokes tell a good cigar from poor
one? This question was put to q
prominent manufacturer. who answer
ed in this fashion:
There is but one way that know.
In order to get everything that Is In q
cigar-the aroma and taste-it is neces-
sary to light the cigar, take couple
Of puffs, then allow the smoke to pass
through the nostrils. When you do
this you get the two things that are
In a weed, the aroma and the taste.
ut Is interesting to man who
knows the business to see smoker
take cigar, look at It and then place
It to his nose for smell. Neither the
look nor smell Of an unlighted cigar
means anything.
81 repeat, it is necessary to light it
and start to smoke it in order to learn
whether 1t is good or not."-New York

Nothing is more Of a help to clear
thinking than careful speech. Very Of

when we attempt to put it into words.
observes the Irish World. But some
times we really have ideas, though
we experience difficulty in expressing
them.
People of sympathetic natures are
frequently dumb in the presence Of sor-
row. Some who are very intelligent
are so silent and difident that nobody
ever gets the benefit of their bright
ideas.
A recent poet has intimated that for
the deep things Of life language Is al
together inadequate; but, however that
may be, it is the principal means at
present by which human beings get
close together.
We learn to talk, as we say, In the
first few years Of life. and some Of
us get very little beyond that start in
babyhood. We can ask for what we
want to eat and drink, but we are un-
able to express sympathy tactfully and
gracefully.
We have great many ideas that We
never try to put into words, because
we feel that we do not know the right
words. We have not really learned to
talk while we remain silent regarding
the things which mean most to US.
