SMUT TREATMENT FOR WHEAT

Sinking smut has caused wide
spread loss in Kentucky this year.
IL is practically impossible to buy
seed that is entirely free from it.
Consequently, not a bushel of wheat
should be planted this fall without
first treating it for smut. The for
maldehyde treatment is easily Civ
en-, is very effective, and it has
largely supplanted the bluestone
treatment. II is applied as follows:
Spread the wheat out on a floor or
clean canvas and sprinkle until
thoroly wet with a solution made
by adding one pound of formalde-
hyde to a barrel go gallons) of wa
ter. Then shovel into a heap and
cover with canvas or sack for n
few hours. Spread and dry sufli-
ciently to SOW.

RAISE WHEAT

The Kaiser can have no hope OF
gaining the mastery of the seas, so
that even if his armies overrun
France and Italy, how does he ex-
pect TO conquer England and the
United States?
This is easily answered. He ex-
poets them to quit. As recent ed
itorial in one of our popular peri
odicals states, HE hopes there is
enough laziness and selflshness and
cOwardice in the people of these
countries TO give the game into his
hands. He thinks they will get
tired of fighting. He thinks they
cannot stand the gaff.
He banks on the chaps who re-
sent having their profits and pleas
ures interfered with, their diet reg
ulated: on the big capitalist who
forestalls as much as the law allows
him: on the man who will not buy
a Liberty Bond when he can get 8
per cent on mortgage, and the labor
leader and wage Garner who will
strike even against the Govern
ment To this we may add, He
also banks on the farmers who will
not plant wheat because some other
less essential crop is more proflta-
BILE" There are undoubtedly a few
farmers who, because they think
they have not been treated fairly in
the matter Of price, have worked
themselves up TO such a state of
self pity. and feel themselves so
abused, that they are ready to quit.
The thing TO do with such men is
TO send them 10 the front in France
and let patriotic men run their
farm; men who are willing to forego
profits for the welfare of their
country. We must plant every pos
sible acre of wheat this coming
year. Only the German sympathi-
ger or the Stacker will stop now TO
consider the question of profits.
If the price fixed by the Govern

GEORGIANS MAY YET
dine ON HORSE MEAT
WYOMING CONGRESSMAN is OF
OPINION HORSE MEAT WILL
BE GENERALLY USED.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-That the
people of Georgia may soon be eat
ing horse meat became apparent
here today when Congressman Mon
dell, of Wyoming, who yesterday Of
fered an amendment to the agricul-
tural appropriation bill in the house
100000 for investi-
cation of this matter, said to The
News correspondent:
There never was a time in the
history of the world when the meat
shortage was felt so widely and so
acutely as it is at this time. Among
the populations of Europe, particu-
larly in Italy, Of France and of the
German states, the use of horse meat
has been common and general for
a great many years in view of the
meat shortage and the use of horse
meat by foreign peoples some of the
horse growers of our western coun-
try took up with men and with the
food administration the question of
the utilization of such of our horses
as are not useful for military or or
binary work or pleasure purposes
with view of having them utilized
to relieve the meat shortage across
the water"

BIG FOOD MEET Be
HELD AT MACON SOON
WOULD IMPRESS ON GEORGIA
FARMERS NECESSITY OF
FEEDING THE STATE.

To impress upon Georgia farmers
the absolute necessity for raising a
food supply sufficient to feed the peo-
pie of this state J. j. Brown, COM
missioner of agriculture, has called
meeting in Macon of the Georgia
state food production and conserva-
ton council, of which ne is chair
man, for February 9th.
This is the organization of farm
ers and business men formed at Ma
con last spring for the purpose of
increasing food crop production.

said Commissioner Brown
today, "but everyone must realize
that food is the paramount problem
in the world today. Unless we raise
in Georgia in 1918 a supply of food
to feed the people of this state we
will go hungry"
Mayor j. D. Weaver, of Dawson,
who recently returned from Wash
ington, where, with a delegation of
farmers, he saw President Wilson for
an hour, stopped in Commissioner
Browns Office on his way back home
and heartily concurred in the latter's
view concerning the seriousness of
the food situation.

new RULE FOR BENEDICTS;

Crowder Says Not All to BE Regard
ed as Slackers. Intent of Mar
riage to Be Considered.
Provost Marshal General E. H..
Crowder is "pussyfooting" on his or
der directing appeals in all cases of
registrants married since May IS,
1917, and given deferred classified
ton, in the opinion of some members
of the exemption board.
1T was never intended" says or
ders since received, chat the
rule given should raise the presump-
ton that every marriage since that
date was effected with the primary
purpose of evading military service.
That rule was intended to authorize
boards to disregard relationships
created by clearly established slack
err marriages as a condition of de-
tendency, but each case must be ex-
amined carefully on its own merits.
No general rule can be laid down,
but it may be stated that a marriage
that carries no equivocal circum-
stances other than its own date is
not to be disregarded."

ly will have to be DONE" said Sena-
tor Smoot.

years longer" Senator Smoot con-
tinued, | am afraid there will be

INCREASE OF HOMELESS DWELL
ERS DECLARED A BIG MENACE
Half of the Families in United States
Living in Homes Not Their Own.
Number Steadily Increasing.

Number Steadily Increasing.
"The foundation of nations
strength" declares Senator Morris
Sheppard, of Texas, "are in the
homes of the people. What is the
situation in the United States? Of
the 20,0OO,00O families living in this
country 100000 are not living in
homes of their own. Of the 9,OOO,-
600 who do, less than 100000 have
homes that are free from debt.
"Forty-seven years ago more than
80 per cent. of our people resided
in the rural districts. Today more
than so per cent. are crowded into
cities. The percentage of tenants in
the farming sections as well as in the
cities is growing with appalling rap
idity.
Hardly half of the arabic area
of the United States is occupied and
scarcely half of the half so occu-
pied is actually being cultivated. Is
it surprising that we are confronted
by shortage of food? Even be-
fore we went to war with Germany
our surplus of food was rapidly de-
creasing.

AN EPIDEMIC OF
MONEY SUBSCRIPTIONS
MANY CAMPAIGNS FOR VARIOUS
CAUSES ARE BEING LAUNCH
ED IN GEORGIA NOW.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Georgia is feel
ing an epidemic of subscription cam
paigns. Some half a dozen of them
are either on or about ready to
break. All of them are worthy caus-
es, but the average citizen has come
to feel that too many worthy caus-
es" are after him.
There are "Smileage" books for
soldiers-books of show tickets which
the individual is expected to purchase
and present to some soldier in order
to afford him needed entertainment.
Atlanta is expected to take at least
$4,000 or $4,000 worth of these,
most of which will be given to sol
diers at Camp Gordon.
The Salvation Army is about to
make its first appeal for funds for
the carrying on of its war work.
Georgia is asked to contribute about
$4,000 to this fund. That is very
modest sum, as requests generally go.
There is the Young Woman's Chris
tian Association, which is very much
in need, and Atlantians are about to
be asked to contribute $4,000 to it.
This campaign is in very good hands
and will be prosecuted vigorously.
Lanier University, a Baptist insti-
tuition, is seeking 100000 from At
lanta alone, and later will make a
statewide campaign for a much
larger fund.
All these campaigns will be pressed
during February, while others are
scheduled to come later on. The drive
for the sale of thrift stamps and war
savings certificates, in which there
has been somewhat of lull, is sehed-
uled to be taken up with renewed
vigor very shortly. Georgia has come
far from doing her part in this con-
nection.
There are several others in view,
but these will keep the average citi-
zen busy digging for the next month
or six weeks at least.
