Atlanta. - The average Southern
farmer. situated far from the seacoast,
thinks he is secure even should the
Kaiser. in his mad desire for conquest.
attempt an invasion OF America.
He is enjoying the most prosperous
period Of his life. Cotton is bringing
thirty cents a pound--and more; there
is ready market for hogs and cattle
at fancy prices; food crops are being
sold at unprecedented prices; and
the manufacturers have paid top notch
figures for velvet beans and other
crops.
It is but natural that the farmer,
contented with life, should have no
thought Of the dangers surrounding
him.
"Why should this war worry me?"
the farmer asks himself, thinking Of
the miles of hills and valleys that
separate him from the seacoast. Il
am not concerned with the freedom
of the seas and Germany's right to
oyerrun Belgium, France and Italy.
If they should ever send an army
here, why I'd fight" he says.
Anything that affects the general
welfare Of the Country affects the
farmer. And the freedom of the
seas"-no other policy established by
the United States has been and will
be more beneficial to the Southern
farmer.
Keep Seas Free.
It was the governments determine
ton to keep the seas free that has
enabled the Southern farmer to mar
ket his cotton crop for thirty cents
a pound instead Of six.
When the war Is over a steady
stream of agricultural products manu-
featured articles and materials of all
kinds will continue to flow to war
stricken Europe. Thousands of YES
sells will be engaged in this commerce.
with a HUNGRY market and plenty OF
bottoms available, freight rates will
be correspondingly lower. The South
ern farmer should be as vitality inter
ested in oceon transportation as In
rail transportation.
The rugged hills and vast plains
will not stop Germany from wiping
the commerce off the seas and cutting
off the rest of Europe from trade with
the Southern farrcer. Neither will
they protect the farmer should Ger
MANY actually invade America. A hos
tile army would not strike first at the
FERNS. It would attack the seat OF
government Washington situated
only a short d'stancn from the sea. And
once in control Of Washington 1t
would have the re'ns and from there
would force the farmer to do its bid
ding.
Building Manv Ships. +,
The United States Government has
determined to check. not only Ger
rany's greed for territory but its am
bition to control the seas. The gov
eminent has undertaken shipbuilding
program that viii supply the vessels
for the farmer to send his products to
European markets. not only during the
war but afterwards. These projects
cannot be successfully carried out I'M
less the government is given support
bv the people. Billions OF dollars are
needed. The farmer not only displays
his patriotism by lending the Govern.
ment monev through subscribing t.
Liberty Bonds, but protects his future
interests.

This 1A-year-old youngster Of Perry,
Taylor county, Florida, is pointing
the way to other boys, and men, too.
In this national crisis when men and
money are needed by the government in
the fight against Prussian autocracy.
He invested $3.50 of his earn ngs from
the sale of newspapers in his home
town in bonds of the Secoad Liberty
Loan. He accumulated this m ney
without help from his father or anyone
else. Since that time he has been
saving his money and expects to sub
scribe t. the Thrill L berty Loan.
John is so proud of his bonds that he
has determined to keep on buying just
as long as he can earn money and
the Government has any bonds to Of
fer.

WORK TO INCREASE
 SUPPLY OF WHEAT
By HOLLAND

New York September 25.-(Speciall- Much of his time while serving as presl- dent of the Vanderbilt roadroad system William c. Brown gave to an exhaustive study of the possibilities of greatly in creasing our wheat cultivation In the last four years of his presidency of the Vanderbilt system Mir. Brown visited many parts of the country for the pur- pose of discovering whether there could be an important increase in the produc- ton of wheat and whether this could be accomplished without relying upon re- clamation of arid land in the far west or upon attempts to open up new and yet not well tested wheat belts, special ly in the northwest.
 At the time MT. Brown was thus en- gagged there was no thought of war in Europe. But there were apprehensions that unless we increased our wheat sup ply rapidly the time was not distant when we would be compelled to import wheat
 In this view MT. Brown was in entire

A CALL FOR FRUIT STONES

Every Red Cross chapter in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, representing membership of more than 700,00O, and all other pegsons are being recruited, beglnr ming today, in government campaign to collect peach stones, fruit pits and nut shells
 The fruit stones will be used to produce carbon to protect American soldiers from German poison gas. The campaign Of collecting the fruit stones is nation-wide, and it Is expected that the needs Tor many millions of the stones will be quickly met.
 Collection centers of the local Red Cross chapter are in the principal grocery stores of the city.
 This is an emergency appeal is the word to the Red Cross chapters. "It is question of saving the lives and health Of our men overseas from the German poison gas Every patriotic citizen in the whole country should be eager to take part in this campaign'
 Juniors of the Red Cross, officials ot the food administration and other gov> ernment agencies throughout the country are cooperating with the Red Cross in collection of the fruit stones.
 Here is a list of the materials to be col lected: Peach stones or seeds, apricot prune. plum. olive pits, date seeds, cherry pits, Brazil nut shells, walnut shells, hickory and butter nut shells.
 It is not necessary that housewives and others separate the seeds. They may be mixed together Any of these materials, no matter how old, will be accepted.
 Everyone should thoroughly dry the ntts and nuts in ovens or in the sun before they are delivered to the Red Cross coi- lection centers. This is extremely impor- tant. It will simplify matters if the indi- viduals. restaurants, hotels, etc., dry their own pits and seeds before turning them over to the Red Cross. There is no objec- ton to storing the materials out doors. as rain does them no harm, but they must be thoroughly dried when delivered to

OLD CLOTHES WEEK

DO not forget to bring or send youl old clothes to 1921 Third avenue. New. somes old stand, next to the RiaIto.
 The drive lasts only this week, and all clothes must come at once so as tc be packed and shipped to the French and Belgian refugees
 People are responding generously, and many lovely things have been sent for the Queen of Belgium's box. But we will need many more garments to fill our quota. and everyone is urged tc give what they can spare. Be sure that the clothes are, as clean as you can make them. Tie pairs of shoes together se- curely.
 Every kind of garment, no matter what it's size, whether for man. woman or child, will be gratefully accepted The only condition imposed is that such gar ments shall be of strong material and suitable for keeping out the cold. Five thousand additional tons of warm cloth ing are needed to cover the 10,O00,00l people in the occupied portions of Bel sium and France and the Red Cross hopes to collect that quantity sere the week is over.
 All classes in the occupied region are in the most desperate need of clothing Even those who have money cannot ob- tain apparel The people are now wear ing garments made of flour sacks and burlap and shoes made of carpet. Blan- kets, sheets tabecloths and other ar. ticles that had been fashioned into body covering are no longer to be had. In his cable to the American Red Cross asking it to undertake the work of get ting clothing for these people MT. Hoov- CT, chairman of the commission for the relief of Belgium, said:
 They are facing shame, suffering disease and some of them death for lack of clothing this winter. They mus be helped. It can come only from us Your first campaign yielded magnificent results, bringing in fully 5000 tons oi clothing in good condition. But mucf more is needed if these war rayaged peo pie are to get through the winter 1T decency and safety.

and in place of 1t cultivated other farm .products. Now the appeal of the food administration, the urgent request which comes from MT. Hoover and the alacrity with which the farmers met the appeal last year for enlarged wheat acreage justify the belief that what were the great wheat belts of the east in earlier years will again be devoted to whea cultivation so that very likely the maxi mum increase which the department cf
