In the drive started last week, under
the direction of E. c. Yellowley, inter
nal revenue agent, against the Illicit
manufacture of liquor in the northern
district of Georgia, ten stills were raid
ed and destroyed by deputy internal
revenue collectors.
Deputy Collector S. ]. Causey and
Deputy United States Marshals w. d.
owen, reported Wednesday morning to
Mr. Yellowley they had seized four stills
in Randolph county; two in Clay and
two in Decatur counties during the past
seven days.
Deputy Collector ]. o. Lay and E. G
Wellborn, special agent of the internal
revenue office, raided one still in White
county and another in Rabun county
In connection with the Rabun county
case, warrants have been issued for the
arrest of Jess Fuller and Jess Clark,
alleged operators and owners of the
still.
More than two thousand gallons of
beer" were seized in the raids, accord
ing to reports of the federal officers.

BROWN CONCERNED OVER
FARM LABOR SHORTAGE
Thinks Increased Production
of Food Unlikely Unless
Workers Are Found

The shortage of farm labor in Geor-
gia is a matter of great concern to j.
!. Brown, commissioner of agriculture,
who has been conducting a cOmprenen-
sive investigation OF the situation. lie
says he has found conditions truly
alarming. While the Necessity for IN
creased food production has been en-
phaeized by the national and state gov
ernments, il is becoming more and more
apparent, says Mr.. Brown. that unless
remedial measures are taken at once,
there Will be a decided reduction in the
acreage OF food crops in Georgia this
year.
This reduction, says Mr.. Brown, will
be due to the fact that farm labor is
almost unobtainable, the farms having
been stripped of hands by the exodus
of negroes to other sections of the
country, the selective service law, vol
untary enlistment and high wages paid
workmen on military and general con-
Struction work.
Mr.. Brown recently received a letter
from the board of trade of New York
describing the labor situation in New
York state and asserting that the sit
uation there was most serious. The
trade body asked the Georgia commits
sioner to suggest some idea on which a
remedy could be based, and Mr.. Brown
attire describing Georgia's situation IN
his reply, suggested that farmers called
for military service, but not yet sent to
France, be allowed to return home to
produce crops this season. If not all
then so per cent of these farmers might
be returned to the soil, according to
this plan.
On February 20 Mr.. Brown plans to
attend a conference of commissioners
of agriculture in Memphis, Tenn, when
the farm labor situation will be thor
ougrly considered from all angles.

Land of the character you describe
ought to be literally fortified and par
ticularly is this true where you expect
to grow truck crops of the kind mem
toned. as these crops make heavy de-
mands on the constituents of the soil.
They must be grown rapidly in order to
possess quality. 1t is, of course, desir-
able that YOU use as much potash as
practicable. This element is now so
scarce and high in price, however, that
we cannot advise you to purchase IL
and use it on your crops. If there are
any good ashes available in your Sec
tion we advise that they be scattered
over the ground to be used for these
crops at the rate of 500 to 900 pounds
per acre and narrowed into the soil. We
would then make a mixture of equal
parts of cottonseed meal and acid phos-
phate and use ii at the rate of 500
pounds per acre in the drill row at the
time of setting out the plants or seed
ing the crops. The nitrate of soda we
would reserve and use as side applica-
tions, putting II on anywhere from one
TO three times and from 80 to IS pounds
of this material at an application. Scat

There is no reason why as much as
two pounds of cottonseed meal per head
per day cannot be fed with satisfaction
TO work stock 1t is best fed when
mixed with corn meal or corn and cob
meal. Some oats, of course, can be add
ed to such a mixture with advantage. In
case you mix corn and cob meal mix
500 pounds of it with 100 pounds of cot
tonseed meal and feed at the rate Of
twelve to fifteen pounds per 1000 pounds
of live weight For a 9O0-pound mule
about twelve pounds should be about the
right amount to give each day when do
ing hard labor. When mules are stand
ing in the stable or idle they should not
be fed sa much Their grain should be
divided into two equal parts and fed
morning and night. Some, of course,
like to feel al corn. The corn ration,
however, may probably consist of rough
age without grain. If you desire to use
oats in mixture Of this character use
400 mounds of corn and cob meal, ESQ
pounds of oats and 100 pounds of cotton
seed meal. You may also feed velvet
bean meal and hulls if finely ground in
equal parts with corn, to mules with
satisfaction. Corn by itself is not
good concentrate to feed to mules.
Corn is very important in a ration OF
cottonseed meal as indicated. A heavy
feeding of cottonseed meal is inadvis-
able Velvet beans and corn make an
excellent ration for work stock. 1t
should be fed in about the proportion
and amount indicated for the ration OF
