warrant, and it is to be hoped that the
people OF north Georgia will take full
advantage of the opportunity they en-
Joy for producing all the Irish pota-
toes needed in this state.
OF course, we should greatly in
crease the yield Of sweet potatoes.
This is essentially every mans crop.
IL is an admirable flour substitute, and
may be prepared and served in a great
variety OF ways, which makes it par
tlcularly valuable to the housewife
With the increased construction Of
storage houses throughout the state,
there is no reason why we should not
be able to store enough potatoes to
provide us with an abundant supply
from one planting season to another.
We naturally should increase the
production of peanuts because of the
wonderful value for animal and hui
man fo'M this crop possesses. A ton
of peanuts yields about seventy to
eighty gallons Of oil equal to olive
oil for food purposes. We can also
obtain from it large amount of meal
OF the most acceptable character to
feed to live stock. In fact, it has a
wider use for this purpose with less
Limitations as to possible Injurious eff
fects than almost any other class Of
animal food we can produce. Just as
soon as mills are erected in this state,
which will provide for the removal of
the hull from the nut, the crushed
nuts will become valuable as a source
Of food in the form of peanut butter
and -four. Peanuts may be used in the
proportion of one pound to three
pounds of wheat Sour in the making
of bread. When this is done the nu-
tritive value and palatability Of the
bread are improved. We could pro-
vide ourselves with part Of the pro-
tein needed in this respect and so
save materially on the use Of red
meats, thereby adding to the supply
of meat for export and improving the
healthfulness of the ration consumed
by our own people.
With favorable seasons there is no
reason why we should not produce a
normal crop Ct apples and peaches
this year.
We have never been oversupplied
with hay. Our farmers should en-
phasize its production in 1918 as never
before.
AS to cotton, we must produce 1t
not only to provide the fiber needed
for clothing, but for it's food value
as well. If we will follow the pro-
gram outlined above in 1918, we can
feed ourselves, have a reasonable sur
plus to send to other sections OF the
country, do our full duty as cotton
producing state, and at the same time
leave ourselves IN an enviable condi-
ton of prosperity

THE WORLDS PANTRY IS BARE Of SURPLUS 81
SUPPLIES: We MUST PRODUCE MORE FOOD
Andrew M. souIe, President OF COLLEGE, O, A,r,c,,+r.

The planting season is unon nc witt,
the Injunction that we must nroduce
larger food crops than ever before in
oui history. This is due to the fact
'na' the worlds pantry is bare of sur.
plus supplies, and that the question
VI plenty or famine for millions of neo.
PIE Is TO be determined by what the
United States is able to do in the wav
VI iood production in the crucial wear
1913. Last year our farmers were
asked to increase their yields and thew
responded in notable manner. Corn
went up 100000 bushels: Irish no.
tatoes 696,o0O,0OO bushels; sweet pota.
Toes over 100000 bushels; peanuts by
over SOO,OO0,000 bushels. The fruit
Sieio was also exceptionally good. Hay
went up 100000 tons, and we made a
normal crop Of cotton besides.
This year we are expected to do hat-
ter than in 1918, and there are urgent
reasons why we should. First Of all
cur wheat and oat crops have been Sc
rlouSly injured by the winter freezes.
IL the acreage which was lost to wheat
and oats is devoted to corn and the
same area planted as was grown in
1917, there is no reason why we should
not be able with reasonably favorable
season to produce 100,0OO,OOO bushels
or corn in Georgia. 1t is only a few
years ago since our yield was about
42,OOO,O0O bushels. Last year we went
up 100000 bushels. This shows,
therefore, that if we have the desire
to grow corn in the degree which is
necessary to feed ourselves and our
live stock and keep our state thor
oughly prosperous, we can do so.
In the matter of Irish potatoes we
should also have greatly increased
yields. Now is the time to plant Irish
potatoes. The records show that we
can greatly increase this crop, and
that we can consume them at home
to advantage, for the Irish potato is
one of the best substitutes for wheat
CT corn. 1t supplies the necessary
carbohydrates in the ration very
cheaply, and is a vegetable which can
be prepared in many acceptable forms.
There is a considerable demand for
Irish potatoes in our home markets,
and, in view Of the relative scarcity Of
-four substitutes, this demand is like
ly to be greatly increased. We have
been assured that as many cars will
be available for transportation Of po-
tatoes to eastern markets as were
available in 1917.
The northern part of Georgia, that
is, the high tableland and mountain
section, is fully capable Of producing
all the Irish potatoes needed for use
in this state during the fall and win.
ter. This is an industry which has
not been developed to the extent the
conditions in this section of the state

History of the Louvre,

The Louvre was originally a royal
residence. Napoleon turned it into a
museum and deposited in it the finest
collection of paintings, statues and art
treasures known in the world. Many
of those brought from Italy have been
restored to their rightful possessors.
The magnificent buildings Of the new
Louvre, begun by Napoleon and COM
pleted by Napoleon III, were inaugu-
rated n 1857.

The Celestial kingdom has been the
scene Of some Of the most terrible
floods on record, observes London Tit

Two years later there were great inun-

phoons, resulting in Il death roll of

Some facts about guns and munitions
told by the secretary of war:
We are constructing a big gun plant
at Neville Island. We signed con-
tract with United States Steel corpor-
alton to build and operate without
profit this plant for guns of the larger
calbers. This is the biggest plant Of
this kind ever conceived and will build
guns of not less than IA inch. The
site is Just below Pittsburgh and COW
crs about LOCO acres, The housing
will be on the hills south of the island.
The amount Of money involved is
$150,000000 which is being supplied by
the United States government. This
plant will handle tremendous amount
Of material, and will be retained by
the government after the war.
We have, shipped two hundred and
fifty 155-mm. howitzers to France.
We are producing between $4,000
and 10000 machine guns per month.
OF Browning heavy 5000 to 1000;
Browning light automatic rifle from
5000 to 1900 per month.
We are making about 1900 motor
tractors per month.
We are turning out all the smokeless
power we need now.
The production of rifles has been
about 100000 per month.
We produce more than $4,000 pistols
and revolverS per month.

Orders have been given for the sup

quartermaster corps. The emergency
ration corresponds to the iron ration OF

It Is strapped in the pack Of the SOL
der going over the top and smay be
used only according to the instructions
given when the emergency ration is
issued.
The emergency ration is composed
of ground meat and wheat compressed
into cake. There is also q block
Of sweet chocolate. The bread and
wheat component may be eaten dry
or, if possible, stirred into cold water.
The cake when boiled for five minutes
in three pints of water, results in a
very palatable soup, or when boiled in
one pint of water for five minutes it
makes porridge which may be eaten
hot or cold. When cold, it may be
sliced and fried, If bacon or other fat
is available. The chocolate component
of the emergency ration may be eaten
dry or made into hot chocolate.
