The Gallant Uncle Sam.

That there is nobody in this ma
tioa too big to apologize when they
find themselves to be in the wrong is
the lesson to be derived from Uncle
Sam, himself, in the instance of his
voluntary amende honorable to Will
son & Company Chicago packers.
A few months ago there was good
deal of sensation when the news
columns of papers all over the coun-
try carried story that an attempt
was being made to unload bad meat
On the army. Visions of "embalmed
beef" and other legaeies of former
wag profiteering foated before the
vision of the American public. In
the present instance wilson & Com
paay were the accused, and a Gov
eminent Bureau was made responsi-
BILE for the accusation.
But quite happily, our domestic
democracy has become progressive,
and no matter. what may be opinions
regarding it with, reference to the
worlds troubles, it has tgot beyond
the point, in industrial and economic
Affairs where the accused is pre-
judged aft to be hung" whenever the
Government gets suspicious and de-
nlands a showdown
Thomas E. Wilson has been featur-
ed as one of the aggressive young
captains of industry, and in view of
the fact that he has flung his banners
into the country's trade winds,

the accusing finger, pointed by Uncle
Sam, coupled with the charges about
bad meat" very naturally. caused
d storm to- gather, and Its dark
clouds threatened for a time to be-
dim the beacon lights that mark the
whereabouts of the Wilson packing
establishment.

Sort followed that the Fedora

that the Chicago concern is freed o.

Uncle Sam, like the true gentle

THE FOOD VALUE OF THE COTTON

There has been much agitation and
discussion as to the relative acreage OF
land which the south should devote TO
cotton in the year 1918 There was an
impression broadcast at one time that

tendency would be 10 plant an excessive
acreage to the neglect Of what were con-
sidered TO be very essential and neces-
sary food crops. There may have been

mind the severe losses which they eX-
perienced by reason OF the low price OF

tunity 20 recoup themselves. for appar-
entity cotton should bring "A good price
in the fall of 1918. Statistics indicate
that two and a half million bales more
were spun up during the previous year
than were produced. II looked there

for cotton was increased by reason of

these circumstances there was no doubt
some reason for the agitation which

The word comes from an authorita-
tive source that boil weevils are get

this year. The only boIls which can
escape are those which are matured be-
fore the insidious pest starts on its
journey of destruction. and we are ap-
prised that there are lew bol.s matured
in southwest Georgia, while there has
not been a bloom seen in Cherokee
county.
Old-time farmers were wont to say
that cotton bloom and a field roast

Let's Pray More


Dear Mrs. Thomas, / do appreciate
your page. You can drive nome the
real facts and goOd thoughts TO the
hearts of so many of your readers,
and the need of doing all they can o
win this great war. We are doing
heroic part in South Carolina. We
raised in my county $325,0O0 for Lib
erty Bonds in one day; our quota
was $4,000. But the good people Of
Marion county always do their par.,
and over when Uncle sam calls on
them.
The school children of Marion and
Mullins sold over $2,5G9 worth of War
Stamps. Marion county has raised
more money for the cause than any
other county in the state. We feel
that it is our duty TO help in this great
struggle, and the man or woman, white
or black, that does not help is a slack
err and needs to be tarred and feath-
cred and driven from the United States
We are fighting for the right, the
rights of liberty, of freedom, and Of
virtue. We stand today upon vital
ground. Every inch of it is being hot
ly contested as our rights to live upon
it. Remember little Belgium. When
think of the poor, suffering women
and children of that little country 1t
makes ma tremble, and then | look over
the field in this land of plenty anj
say: Belgium, oh Belgium, how | wish
to help thee"
The thing for US to do is to pray
more Let us pray that God will has
ten on the time when war every
where will cease and peace and plenty
will prevail.
Jesus. Great shepherd of the sheep,
To Thee for help we fly.
Thy little lam bkin safely keep,
For the wolf is nigh.
Together let US sweetly live,
Together let us die.
And each a starry crown receive
And reign above the sky. 1888.

{. A. F., Hahira. Ga, writes: J Would
like to know the possibilities of the soy
bean as a money crop, and something con
corning their culture and harvesting. Am
considering planting some navy beans and
some California cowpeas How are they for
money cropF
II is generally considered that the
SOY bean and the navy bean will do
better in the northern part of this
state and at higher elevations than in
the southern part Of the state. The soy
bean seems to he quite we'll adapted for
growth on the red land of north Geor-
gia and this is also quite true of the
navy bean. though they apparently do
best OF all i'm the mountainous sections
where the seasons are cool and prob
ably there is a better distribution of
rainfall there than in the vicinity of
Macon or Athens.
The California black-eyed peas will
apparently grow well all over this state,
and there is no reason why you should
not plant them in the hope of reaping
a profitable harvest in your section.
They should, of course. be planted as
much as other peas. If we were Guilt
waiting this crop for grain production
we would plant in rows 2.5 to 2 feet
apart Fertilize with at least 200 to 800
pounds OF acid phosphate and cultivate
frequently until the beans attain con-
siderable size. We believe YOU will OBJ
tain a larger yield by this method than
where you broadcast them. You will
also be able to secure a stand with
much less seed. which is an important
consideration at this time. If you at

tempt to plant soy beans We suggest
that you try some of the varieties which
have proved themselves best adapted for
growth in this state, and plant in
rows say three feet apart FertiliZs
with 200 to 800 pounds of acid phos-
phate We do not consider artificial in
oculation necessary. The Mammoth IS
one of the best varieties for general
cultivation in Georgia. 1t is rather a
long season variety, however, and if
YOU are hunting for something which
will mature in a comparatively short
time we suggest the black or the Extra
Early green.
Navy beans, if planted in your sec
ton of the state should in our judg-
ment be planted at an early season or
a late season. In other words il would
be inadvisable to plant them at this
time Of year when they are likely to
meet and endure the most intense heat
of the summer.
Soy beans and cowpeas should be
planted as soon as practicable, though.
of course, they may be planted until
the first of July in your section of the
state
