in German something that means

Fortunately we need have no such
exhibitions and no such instruction.
We still are living under conditions
that are luxurious compared to
those Of most European nations.
But for all this we have taught
ourselves some very important les

have thrown away.

ponds prosperity or our "going broke. =
Even at present high prices no one
can plant all or nearly all cotton, buy
food and grain at present prices from

money. Food and grain is higher in

It's a time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your own
acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece Of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and

FARM PROSPERITY
IS HOME MADE.
Can BE Continued Indefinitely In
South II Farmers\Do Their Part,
Says Hastings

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special.) --That the
present wave Of farm prosperity" in
the South is "home made and can be
continued indefinitely is the interest
ing statement made recently by III.
G. Hastings, President Of both the
Southeastern Fair Association and the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce. Mr..
Hastings said: "Unthinking people are
very apt to attribute the present wave
of farm prosperity in the South to the
present high price Of cotton rather
than to its real cause"
Naturally, the high price has helped
q great deal, but the real reason for
the money being in the farmers peck
ct or bank is that when the 1917 cot
ton crop was made the farmer owned
it instead Of owing it to supply mer-
chant at the end of the season, as was
usually the case in times past. Never
before had the farmers of the South
come as close to feeding themselves,
their families and their live stock
from their own acres as in 1917. They
had need Of few store purchases and
made few or no debts"
"If the 1917 crop had been made on
the old basis of plant all cotton and
buy all food at present prices there
would be supply merchant prosperity,
but little or none on the farms"
Naturally, the temptation Is great
to increase cotton acreage and de-
crease food and grain acreage in 1918.
The man who does it is foolish The
whole world is short of food and this
condition will not only continue but
get worse as long as the war lasts.
Continued high prices for food is as GER
tain as sunrise each morning"
Real money-in-hand farm prosper
ity is absolutely dependent on the
growing on ones own acres Of all the
food. meat, grain and forage needed
for home needs. Once that is proyid-
ed for, every other available acre
can safely be planted in cotton or other
cash crop. The larger part Of the cost
of making cotton or other cash crop is
in the food, grain and forage consum.
ed in making 1t.
"These items home made can be
produced at from one-third to one
half the price the merchant charges
and home production Of them means
just that much reduction in the cost
Of making the cash crop.
Farm prosperity in the South can
and will be permanent just as long as
our farmers continue their farm oper.

substitutes have been already purchas-
ed from another source.
"A ruling has been make that In
making any combination sales Under
this programme dealers shall name a
price for each of the articles so sold,
which shall not represent more than a
normal prewar profit on any one of the
articles sold.
MeatIess and Wheatlcss Days.
Fifth Millers of flour are to distri-
butte their output through their custo-
mary channels and markets in such a
manner that each city, town and district
may receive it's usual proportion. The
wheat millers have been required to
produce one barrel of flour (196 pound 8
from 264 pounds of wheat. This is a
white flour and represents from two
per cent q per cent? to four per cent
| "a per cent? per higher extraction from
last years harvest.
"Sixth-To assist further in conser-
walton, Monday and Wednesday of each
week are to be observed as wheatless
DAYS, and one meal of each day as a
wheatless meal. This applies both in
the home and in the public eating
places, and on such days and means no
crackers, pastries, macaroni, breakfast
foods or other cereals containing wheat
should be used. The only exception to
this is such small amount of flour as
may be needed for thickening soups
and GRAVES, or as binder in corn
bread or other cereal breads.
"Seventh-On wheatless days, and at
wheatless meals, the food administra-
ton urges that bread baked in the home
be other than wheat bread. Where bread
is purchased either for use in public eat
ing places or in the home Victory bread
should be used, if no wheat substitutes
can be found. The federal food admin
istrator in each state will announce the
meal to be observed as a wheatless
meal in his state. If no meal is desig-
mated, the United States food admins
traitor prefers that the evening meal be
wheatless.
"Eighth-It is further desired, in Or
der that meat and pork products be con-
served, that one meatless day (Tues-
day. in each week, and one meatless
meal in every day, be observed, in adj
dition, two porkless days TUESDAY and
Saturday, in every week be strictly
kept. By meatess, is meant without
| hog, cattle or sheep products. On other
days use mutton and lamb in preference
| TO beef and pork by porkless' is meant
without pork, bacon, ham, lard or pork
products, fresh or preserved. Use fish
poultry and eggs.
s'Ninth-For local situations where
exceptions are necessary application
should be made to the state food ad-
ministra tors.
