MILLIONS OF SOLDIERS
Swarm YIN. C. A. HUTS
Annual Report of Southeastern De.
partment Reveals 1886, $50 Boys
In Camps Crowded Buildings
(By l.. Porter Moore.)

Atlanta, Ga, August 25.-An attend
ance of nearly twenty times the pop
ulation of Atlanta swarmed happily
IN i. M. c. A. huts in the seven
states of the Southeastern camps dur
ing the fiscal year July 1, 1917, to July
l, 1918, according to the annual re-
port just issued here.
In other words, soldiers in the South
eastern environments to the number
of 3S,S66,9S0 men wrote letters in the
"Y' army and navy huts, read htera-
ture there and Joined in the religious
services and entertainments held in
the Red Triangle buildings which dot
military reservations in Georgia, Ala
bama, Tennessee, the Carolinas, Mis-
sissippi and Florida.
1t is easy to imagine the mountains
of stationery the Y. M. G. A. provided
in the camps of the Southeast when
1t is stated that soldiers wrote 3d.
$4,000 letters in the "Y' huts. The
Red Triangle workers also made out
$2,463,744 worth of money orders for
the soldiers, most of the amount be-
ing sent home to relatives.
Educational Work Featured
The "Y" also provided 4,OO5 educa-
tional lectures with a soldier attend
ance of 1929. The educational
classes of various kinds aggregated
64,S13 and the attendance was 97S,-
045. Books circulated by the Y. NJ.
c. A. numbered 764,710 and educational
clubs formed among the men were
$40. Physical activities when figured
in statistics amounted TO an amazing
amount. 1t is estimated 3,6S3,350 par
ticipated in the various physical ac-
tivities such as baseball, track and field
meets, baseball, etc.
The spectators, the majority of them
soldiers, at these physical activities,
are estimated for the year at 5,646,
31S.
The resume of religious activities
shows that S,464,45 persons attended
16,46S religious meetings under "Y"
auspices in the Southeast, that 21,2SS
Bible classes were formed among the
soldiery with attendances ranging at
395,34S, that 223,232 Scriptures were
distributed, that "Y" workers had 1877
$50 personal Christian interviews with

SAVE SURPLUS fruit
FOR MAKING VINEGAR
Apple Cider Is Most Commonly
Used, But Other Fruit
Juices Will Do

Fruits unsuited to canning, drying OF
gar making. The juice may be pressed
out or extracted by any convenient
method. 1t is then placed into clean
barrels which have been thoroughly
scalded out. The barrels should not
be filled more than three-fourths full,
and sufficient openings left in the top
TO permit free circulation of air.
Good vinegar is product resulting
from specific fermentation instituted
by the activities of oorganisms.
1t may be made from almost any of
our fruit juices that contain sugar,
Apple cider is most commonly used,
though other fruit juices may be en-
ployed with most excellent results.
Vinegar is made by two distinct
processes of fermentation. First, the
sugar of the juice is converted into
alcohol by yeast cells. The alcohol
is. In turn. converted into acetic acid
by means of acetic bacteria, often
found in the mother" of vinegar,
Therefore, we can bring about desir.
able fermentation by placing in three
fourths of barrel of fruit juice two
cakes of common yeast used in bread
making. The barrel is placed in a
room with temperature ranging from
70 to so degrees F. After the yeast
ceases to ferment further mother "
from good vinegar is added and a
high grade vinegar is produced few
weeks thereafter.
The practice Of putting fresh fruit
juices in barrels containing a little
vinegar is mistaken notion of the
principles underlying vinegar making,
for the acetic ferment retards or hin.
ders the production of alcohol by the
yeast cells. For this reason we should
always begin the work with perfectly
clean barrels.
Vinegar is easily made. and every
fruit grower should utilize his sur.
plus of fruit, which is not otherwise
used. in this way.-Prof. H. P. Stuckey,

GOOD YIELDS MAKE
PROFITS IN FARMING
Study Is Made Of Fifty Farms
In Mitchell County.

Profits in farming depend to O
great extent on good crop yields. A
| survey of a part of Mitchell county
by the Farm Management department
OF the State College Of Agriculture
shows that this is true for that part
or Georgia. The survey, which was
complete study of the 1917 farm OPP
erattons on fifty Mitchell county farms,
not only indicates that the farmer who
is making money is also producing
good yields of cotton, corn, hay and
other crops. but that the farmer who
Is producing a little better crops than
the average has a very much better
chance to make money than the farmer
whose crops fall below the average.
The fifty farms in this survey were
divided into three groups. The first
group included the ten least profitable
farms; the second group included all
of the fifty farms; and the third group
the ten most profitable farms. The
first group paid the farmer about Z
per cent en- his Investment. but no sal
airy outside of the living expenses
which the farm furnished his family.
The crop yields of this group were
fourteen per cent under the average of
the fifty farms. The farmers of this
group had to plant little over ia
acres to produce as much as the aver
age farmer produced on 100 acres
The second group, with average
yields. paid the farmer per cent on
his investment and salary of ST.
! 1880 per year besides the products
and conveniences furnished by the
farm to his family
This third group paid the farmer 8
/ per cent on his investment and a sal
airy Of $5,57S.00 besides the products
and conyeniences furnished to his
family by the farm. The farmers of
this group produced IA per cent more
| per acre than the average farmer. In
/ other words, they produced on about
sc acres as much as the average farm
er made on 100 acres.
Contrary to a general belief that
the difference in crop production
among farms in the same community
is due to difference in the fertility
of the soil, careful study has shown
that the crop yields over a series of
years are more largely due to different
cropping methods anS cultivation prac-
tees than to differences in soil fer
tility. 1t is easy to spend so much
in an effort to make large yields that
all profit is lost but there are many
factors in influencing yields that may
be used at very little cost.
In south Georgia, good crop rota.
ton such as cotton and peanuts, fol
lowed by oats and coWpea hay the
next year, then corn Intercepted with
velvet beans and peanuts to be grazed
will, with the judcious use of live
stock and commercial fertilizers, in the
long run, help you to make larger
yields and more money over period
OF several years. In central and north
Georgia the main crop rotation sug
gested would be cotton. followed by
corn, Intercepted with cowpeas and
velvet beans, then oats or wheat and
cowpeas the third year. Live stock
sufficient to supply local needs and 6
judicious use of commercial fertiliz
erS is desirable in this section.-G. C
