REGULATIONS MADE FOR
FURLOUGHING OF
FARMERS

Atlanta, Ga, April l2.-Spurred on
by Georgia congressman, at the re-
quest of the Georgia Department of
Agriculture, the war department has
at last promulgated regulations un-
der the Dent bill for the furloughing
of certain soldiers in the National
Army who may desire to return to
the farms for the 1918 planting and
harvesting season. 1t has taken
long time and persistent effort to Sc
cure this action and it still remains
to be seen what are going to be its
practical workings. The Georgia De-
partment OF Agriculture, which has
worked persistently to accomplish
this end, can only hope that it will
result in bringing some small meas
ure of relief to Georgia farmers in
the return at least to them of por-
ton OF the men who have gone from
them in order that they may assist
in 1918 production.
This farm service is, of course.
made wholly voluntary with the SOL
der
If any beneficial results are to be
accomplished under these regulations
they must be acted upon speedily.
The planting season over most of
Georgia is now we'll under way" and
there is no time to be lost.
The Georgia Department of Agri-
culture is in receipt of an interesting
letter from Edison, Ga, giving de-
tails OF a movement planning the es-
Enlistment of Farmers Protect
I'VE Association" for the benefit of the
farmers OF the county, with view to
solving. the marketing problem.
The letter indicates that it is their
purpose to buy the farmers products
and sell them direct to packing
houses, milling houses and wholesale
produce people.
The plan suggested is in line with
what the Georgia State Bureau Of
Markets of the State Department of
agriculture has been doing since its
organization. 1t has secured the es-
adjustment of farmers exchanges in
many towns over the state and its
purpose is ultimately to bring about
the establishment Of similar agen-
cy IN every marketing community in
Georgia.

HERO OF THE MERRIMAC

Atlanta, Ga, April l2,-Captain
Richmond Pearson Hobson, the IA
nous hero of the Mcrrmac and prob
ably the greatest prohibition advo-
cate in the world, whose lecture on
alcohol entitled The Great Destroy
cr". has probably swayed the minds
of more men on purely scientific
grounds to fight the liquor traffic than
any other single argument, will adj
dress a great rally in Atlanta next
Sunday afternoon under the auspices
of the Georgia Anti-Saloon league,
which is interested now in securing
ratification by the legislature Of the
prohibition amendment to the federal
constitution.
In issuing a call to the rally the
League quotes the closing words OF
President Wilson's speech at Balti-
more last Saturday, where he declar-
cd that America can make but one
response to Germany's challenge to
force. and that is Force, force to the
utmost. force without stint or limit,

which shall make right the law of the

VIOLATED WHEAT LAWS

Fort Gaines, April l1.-Mcn Hutto,
a farmer living just across the river
from here, has been blackballed by
Food Administrator Arnold for VIC
latng the food law and all merchants
have been requested not to sell him
any more food until further notice
from the food administrator. Mr..
Hutto gave as his reason for buying
more -four than allowed that he did
not want to use up his corn now in
stock as he desired to distill some
moonshinc out OF his corn. 1t now
looks like he will have to eat corn
bread and drink moonshine until the
Government food administrator
