brown WANTS TO
BUCK SEED CONTROL
MISSIONER ALSO WANTS TO
KEEP HE FARMER BOYS ON
THE FARMS

Atlanta, October 16--(Srecia.. y
Taking stand squarely and cmphat
ically against government regulation
or control of the price CT cotton seed
in any degree whatever, Commission
er of Agriculture ]. J. Blown has gone
| to- Washington for . conference fifth
Food Administrator Herbert c. Hoo
yer.
Commissioner Brown was accom-
panied by Director L. B. Jackson of
the Georgia Bureau Of Markets and
President j. H. Mills Of the Georgia
Farmers Union; and this delegation
along with representatives from 9TH
er cotton states, will stoutly protest
against any interference whatsoever
by the government with free and
open market for this product.
eve stand un2quivocally and en-
rhatically against government inter-
ference in any shape, from or manner
with the price of cotton seed" Com
missioner Brown said Cotton seed
like every other product of the farm,
should have al all time, free and
open market, solely to the natural
law of supply and demand.
"The market for hog lard has al
ways been the basis or determining
factor in the price of cotton seed oil.
If the status of the products of cot
ton seed wont warrant a price of $76
or $50 a ton for cotton seed, when
cotton seed is bringing that price in
the open market, then why not put
the products of cotton seed on patti
ty with lard?
when at the beginning of the war,
the south was suffering and cotton
seed was selling at 81 4 atom, the gov
eminent didn't turn it's hand to raise
the price. Therefore, if it's is worth
five times that price or more in the
open market today, there is no reason
on earth why the government should
take any step to depress it, and we
shall resist any such action to the
full extent of our ability.
Following this conference we hope
and believe we shall be able to make
the announcement that the govern
ment will not interfere in any manner

AMERICA GATHERING
GREAT CORN CROP
SUBSTITUTION OF MEAL FOR
FLOUR WILL FIGURE IN THE
FOOD PROBLEM

Washington, d. c., Oct 13.-Amer-
lea is just beginning the harvest of
her greatest corn crop-greater by
123,000,000 bushels than any previous
crop in our history and greater by
SOS, 100000 bushels than the crop of
1916.
How can this enormous crop best
be used both to stabilize prices of
other foodstuffs not so plentiful and
also to release for export to our allies
the largest possible volume of sup
plies which they need.
The answer is that we should not
only feed corn but should eat corn.
But eating more corn and less wheat
we will:
Save money!
Benefit our health!
Help win the war!
Corn meal even the present I'M
precedented prices, is the cheapest
food, nutritive value considered,
found in government survey of so
food staples
There is twice as much nutritive
value in dollars worth of corn meal,
at prevailing prices as in a dollars
worth of wheat bread In fact. the
same nutriment contained in a dol
lars worth of bread can be had in
corn meal for just Ala cents.
BY substituting corn bread, corn
cakes, corn muffles or fried mush fol
wheat bread, at least once each day
the housewives of America could per.
form one of the greatest works of the
war. With absolutely no hardship,
but instead, with actual benefit to
ourselves, we would realese more
than 100 100000 bushels of additional
wheat to our allies, who despite all
that we can otherwise do to supply
their requirements for breadstuffs,
must exist on a rigidly restricted
diet.
But why, some ask, should we not
eat the wheat ourselves and send the
corn abroad?
In France, England and Belgium
virtually all baking is done in public
bakeries. Corn bread is essentially
a home produce; it cannot acceptably
be prepared and sold over the bakers
counter 1t would be impossible, in
the midst of war, to make over the
home baking facilities of these ma
tons. We must adjust our supplies
to- meet their facilities for proper
handling
Then, too, because Of its additional
richness, corn meal does not keep as
well as flour and is not as suitable
for overseas export At home we
CONSUME the meal as it is produced
Corn meal sent to Europe would de-
teriorate and grow rancid, while
wheat flour keeps.

Another object of Commissioner
Browns visit to Washington this
week, it to take up with the war de-
partment and such other authorities
as may be necessary, the question of
Exemption from military service OF
those young men whose presence on
he farms is absolutely essential to
heir operation.
In view of tho imperative food sit
uation this is regarded as more nee
essary than ever; because the har-
vesting OF the present crops must
seen be followed by PREF arations for
greater production than ever. Ii is
pointed CT hat Writer work is gCing
to mean much to next years produc-
ten; and if tho men are taken away
from the farms, it will seriously in
tereferc no only with this work. but
with Planting and cultivating in the
spring.
1t is the belief of the department
tia execution should be made, per
manontly. in these cases in which it
is Gle rlv necessary to guarantee the
safety CT food production.
The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1917-10-17

The tine for planting winter wheat
is here, and from now until early De-
c2mber, all the wheat possible should
be sown in eevry county in the state
The cericus food situation confront
ing the country, and as result of
which government regulation is
threatened with regard tc the products
of the farm, makes it more imperative
than ever that Georgia should pro-
duce just as much wheat as she can
between now and spring There will
be market for eevry bushel of it at
splendidly profitable prices.
To get good results the ground
must be prepared and properly fer
tilted. he best ground available
should be given over to wheat grow
ing, and just as much of it as posi-
BILE
The advice of the department is,
Plant wheat NOW! Plant lots of it;
Plant all you can take care if. And
the earlier you plant it and the bet
ter you take care if the crop, the
better will be the results attained,
both in yield of wheat and in financial
profit.
Now is the time for all men to

The Merchants Protective Asso citation today voted unanimously to go right down the line with the city council on it's action to gain pos session for the city of the Mann. shattuck and James Behrends water front properties for the accommoda ton of the Juneau fisheries.
 In the speeches that were made at the meeting the action of the city council in the fisheries proposition was praised and that that of May or Valentine denounced. President Goldstein replied to the sarcastic reference to the association made by the mayor at the last council meet ing when he called it the Merchant s Protective Assassination" MT. Gold stein enumerated some of the accom- plishments of the association during the year in which it has been in existence. and declared that it had done more for Juneau in one year than the mayor had done in life time
 Councilman King defended the ac-
 
 tion of the council, and declared that the establishment of a fisheries busi- ness at Juneau would materially ben eft everyone in Juneau. directly or indirectly He said the Glacier Fish company alone would expend $45,OOO month in the city.
 Several plans for securing the pos session of the property for the use of the city were discussed by dozen or more members. The con sensus of opinion was that the prop erty could be leased with an option of purchase in such way that ren tals could be applied to the pur chase of the property whenever II was desired to exercise the option to buy it.

OF SED|TI0uS KIND
 FOULS BRITISH
Hundreds of Tons of 9 German Propaganda For NeutraIs is
 Destroyed
WAS GIGANTIC SCHEME

LONDON, July 26.-TOns of sedi- tious literature, printed in many Ian guages and intended for circulation in neutral countries, have been seized here and condemned by prize court as part of a gigantic scheme on the part of the Germans to spread their propaganda to the four corners of the earth The seizures were found in the mails of the steamships Oranej, Rembrant and Goentoer. More than 1.500 bags. containing thousands of pamphlets, were removed from the vessels by the British authorities. Sir Frederick Smith, the Attorney General, in asking the court to con- demn the seizures, asserted that the scheme was on the largest possible scale and had been carried out with ingenuity and thoroughness. In neat yellow cover he read, was a pamphlet entitled "The Neutrality of India and England" and information available to the British authorities showed that in virtually every neutral country almost in every neutral town of importance, the Germans had appointed agents whose special mls sion it was to distribute the litera- ture.
 There were Dutch and French edi- tions of this pamphlet the French edi tion being edited, it was said, by the Indian National Party. An Arabic pamhplet had flaming red star and crescent on the cover. Another dealt with alleged British atrocities.
 A pamphlet in French and Spanish entitled, "England's Rule in India,
 was intended for circulation as far afield as Bolivia, it was said.

Reubke. a work of brilliant execution.
Of dignity and of emotional develop
ment. His playing of this sacred tone
poem was scholarly in detail. high in
import and full OF feeling.
In greatest contrast were the two
selections, the Persian excerpt by
Stoughton, with its atmosphere and
charm. and the christmas in Sicily"
by Pietro Yon with it's chimes and its
carols that were told in truly lovely
tone of utmost delicacy. As COM
