Jobson Calls On
All Leaders To
Help Farmers
7:Iss sI5sysl 5S{5I5

Realizing that the time is at hand for
the farmers of this country to set their
hands to the big task of raising the
greatest crop ever produced, John b.
Jobson, expounder of the Common Sense
System of Deep Flowing and inventor of
the remarkable Jobson pillow, makes d.
rect appeal to public officials and lead
ing farmers everywhere to help in the
big movement to put in more effective
methods that will enable every worker
to produce a bigger crop with less la
Dor and expense.
"It's now or never" says Mr.. job
son, "for the deep blowing season is
right on us. We're straining every
nerve to place the benefits of our Sys-
TEN on 100 900 farms in ample time to
produce millions of extra bushels; but
with the help of farm demonstrators and
thinking men all over the South we can
and will double this large hgure.
I'm many sections of the South, coun-
ty and even state officials are deeply in
terested in the work. and they are pro-
ducing big results. There is no possible
shadow of a doubt about the new deep
tilling plow being the one implement
that meets the critical need of the hour
No thinking man will doubt this when
he has investigated and learned what
practical farmers and experimental ag-
the little percussion cap, it has revolu-
tionized methods in it's field.
But the question is, how to get this
all over the country in the quickest pos
sible time Everybody must get busy
and help"
Mr. Johson appeals to the good judg
ment and patriotism of every man in the
South, and he says to tell any farmer in
this entire section that he can not af-
ford to begin his spring blowing without
making inquiry into the Jobson System.
If any farmer in the whole country
has failed to get full information about
the Jobson System, let him write to P.
O. Box 672. Atlanta Ga, and Mr. job
son will see to it personally that free
booklet is sent Retail dealers almost
everywhere active in this work. Ask
your merchant about II. Tell him to
show you a Jobson Pillow and ask him
for some Jobson System literature.

milk and butter, and by reason of it's
high content of digestible protein, We
would be disposed to pay more for it.
1t also contains more nitrogen and phos-
phoric acid than velvet beans and hence
one could afford to pay more for it on
that account. Our experience and OBJ
servation up to date indicates that we
would be willing to pay $50 for cotton
seed meal as compared with $35 to $40
for velvet bean meal. Whenever there
is a difference of from SIS to $50 per
tonu, however, we would be disposed
to feel that velvet bean meal would be
a satisfactory and successful substitute
for cotton seed meal in a ration for
dairy cows, beef cattle and oxen.
Velvet beans ground without the hulls
naturally contain more animal food
than those containing the bulls. We
doubt, however, if there is enough diff
ference to Justify one in going to the
expense and labor involved in shocking
the beans.
Dry kilning velvet beans is an advan-
tage in that it will rid them of the sur
plus moisture and insure the beans
keeping to better advantage. Of course
the food value is increased to a consid-
cradle extent by reason of the lesser
amount of water which the dry kilned
beans will contain.
The composition of velvet beans
without the hulls is as follows: Pro-
tein, 21.S0 per cent; fat $50 per cent;
fiber, 2.4O per cent; carbohydrates. 81. IL
per cent; total phosphoric acid 100 per
cent; potash total, 10 per cent; equiv
alent to nitrogen, 3.49 per cent. The
composition of velvet beans with the
hulls is: Protein. 1850 per cent; fat,
4.6S per cent; fiber. 1882 per cent; car
bohydrates, $40 per cent; total phos-
phoric acid 80 per cent; potash total 10
per cent; equivalent to nitrogen, 2.64
per cent.

What are sunflOwer seed WORTH
The amount of Irish potatoes required
to plant an acre depends considerably on
the kind of seed selected and the manner
in which the potatoes are cut. From six
to eight bushels should be sufficient to
plant an acre of land in IL to 4-foot
rows, where one piece is dropped in
place and the hills are left Is inches
the right distance for planting Irish po-
tatoes. OF course, the wider the rows
the smaller amount of seed it will take.
There is no one best variety of early
potatoes for planting but we think the
Irish Cobbler and the Bliss Triumph are
two of the very best sorts for growth in
this section of the state. We have grown
these varieties for several years past
and have found them very satisfactory
sorts to handle. You should bear in
mind that this crop needs to be literally
fortified. We suggest that you put on
500 pounds of equal parts of acid phos-
phate and cottonseed meal If you care
you may use 200 to 800 pounds of acid
phosphate with 100 pounds of sulphate
of ammonia or $50 pounds of nitrate of
soda These should be thoroughly CO.
mingled together and put in the bottom
of the drill row and mixed with the
soil so the potatoes will not come direct
ly in contact with the fertilizer. Do not
lime the soil, though an occasional ap-
plication of yard manure or leaf mold in
the fall will be an advantage. One should
obtain anywhere from 100 to 200 bushels
of Irish potatoes from soil of fair fertili-
ty if handled as indicated.
For commercial purposes, the Rocky
Ford cantaloupe is one of the best va
rieties to plant. Fertile, well-drained
sandy soil is the best type of land to Sc
lect for this crop. The land should be
enriched by a cover crop, such as rye OF
vetch will afford. These crops should be
plowed under early in the spring. Lay
off the field in drills, making the hills
about or feet apart in each direction.
Plant to 10 seeds in the hill. A pound
of seed should plant an acre. Plant the
seed ! 1-2 inches deep. Cultivate clean
so as to keep weeds in check and con-
serve moisture. The suggested fertilizer
for potatoes should answer very well for
this crop as we'll OF course you under
stand no mention is made of potash for
either of these crops, because of the dif-
fculty of securing the same at the pres
ent time.
Sunflowers may be planted in drills
and cultivated as most any other crop.
The seed is said to be valuable for poul-
try and may be used in moderate
amount on any farm for that purpose to
advantage.

Peanuts and soy beans build up land
because they belong to the family of
legumes. Land intended for these crops
should be lined and literally fertilized
with acid phosphate and, under normal
conditions, with potash as well. Irish
potatoes should do we'll in Georgia if
grown under a good system of man.
agement. The yield will vary from
100 to 200 bushels per acre of marketa-
bic tubers. This crop should be liber-
ally fortified. They should be planted
sometime during the middle of Febru-
airy in south Georgia and in north Geor-
gia, not later than the first of March.
The Bliss and Triumph are two very
good varieties to grow. AS rule land
intended for this crop should be broken
in the fall and laid off so the seeding
can be done in the spring.
Barley does very we'll in Georgia. 1t
is crop which, as you know, prefers
soil in good condition. We would not
attempt to grow it extensively, how
ever, as we think oats a better crop and
better adapted to growth under the soil
and climatic conditions prevailing in
this state. Oats can be sown early in
the spring, but to obtain the best re-
suits they should be in the ground by
the latter part of January or the first of
February. Soy beans can also be grown
after potatoes for grain production
grazing and turning under. We do not
think that commercial Irish potatoes
as a second crop have proven very prof
liable in the southern part of Georgia
as it is rather difficult to get a good
stand. This crop is grown with a good
deal of success for fall harvesting in
the mountainous section of north
Georgia

FOOD AND FERTILIzER VALUE OF

Increasing Calls Will Be
Made Upon Women OF
Louisiana To Release
Men For War Work
List Has Been Prepared Show
ing One-Half Million Men
Needed For Essential Work
In Various States

Baton Rouge, La, Sept. E.-Many
women in Louisiana are going to be called
upon to fill occupations now filled by
men. The State Council Of Defense to-
day received from Federal authorities in
Washington list which showed that
more than one-half million men are need
ed i'll various states to carry on important
work necessary to promote the war to a
successful end. This list is interesting
because it deals With the needs in many
states, and is given below:
Every shipyard in the country could
use additional men.
The Nitro plant in West Virginia needs
six thousand men in order to finish the
plant by January l. This plant is re-
quired in order that it may ship 625,0o0
pounds of smokeless powder day to
France before the spring offensive.
In Maine, New Hampshire and Yer
mont there is a demand estimated any
where from $4,000 to 10000 men to get
airplane spruce and other timber for war
work.
Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode
Island are filled with munition factories
and are short approximately $4,000 men.
New York State, for instance, has a
great many war plants. The American
Locomotive Company, with plants at
Schenectady and Dunkirk are manufac-
turing locomotives for France and are
badly handicapped for lack of common
labor. The Interior Storage Depot at
Sehnectady is likewise short of labor, as
is the Aluminium Company of America at
Massina.
In New Jersey, where there are hun
dreds of war plants, particular attention
is called to the great shortage of men in
the shell loading plants in this state
Probably $4,000 men are needed for this
purpose alone.
In Pennsylvania several steel mills have
had TO shut down part of their plant for
lack of labor.
Delaware and Maryland are in a criti-
cal condition and filled with war indus
tries.
In Virginia the projects at Norfolk
have received in the last six weeks prob
ably $1,000 men from other parts of the
country and still need probably 10000
more. In addition to this, there is a
large powder bag loading plant Of the
DuPonts badly in need of men, numerous
other industries, including shipbuilding
plants, are suffering.
North Carolina has one new camp at
Fayetteville which alone needs from 5000

WE MiGT FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE

London papers just received in this country contain lengthy accounts of the proceedings against a member of parliament accused of hoard ing food in violation of the law.
 It is refreshing to note with what fearless ness prominent officials are held accountable in that country to the laws which they themselves enact. This particular legislator was fined two thousand dollars for having more food than the law allows. Apparently his position did not serve to lessen the offense, but rather to enhance it. Which is the way it should be. Those who occupy high places should show ex- amples to others. This is not the first time in England that prominent persons have been pun ished fer boarding food Marie Corelli, the nov est was fined heavily for the same. offense
 Great Britain, through dearly bought exper- fence has learned a lesson that compels disre- gard for individuals, and accordingly has allowed no person to interfere with war operations Our government would do well to profit by England's experience. We dare say, hoarders are plenti- fu in this country
