 Post.)
 Europe' wouldn't give half an acre of American soil for all I've seen-not if had to live over here. It isn't that the European countries aren't beau tiful, for they are-perhaps lovelier than our more rugged land can ever hope to be, and they have everything to make existence easy and comfort able. But the life is belittling, and that's the truth. What the causes back of it may be ] don't know-prob- ably it's their social system, anyhow, Europeans aren't SO broad gauged as Americans. Of course, the aver age European would boot at that He considers an American an uncouth barbarian. because the American hap pe4s to have customs that differ from his own; but he's welcome to his delu- sion.
 The European thinks and acts by rule of thumb. He is suspicious of his neigkbors and hates other nationali- ties. Now with all our faults, as 8 people, we don't hate anybody. We haven't time. Anyway, what's the use? Besides, why should we? A man hates for two reasons envy and fear. We aren't afraid of anybody so you could notice it, and we don't have to envy any nation.
 My own theory about the difference between the European and American viewpoint is that ours is a land of hope. Over here there isn't much ahead for the average man, his opportunities are so limited, and that makes him spite ful. But in the United States any live wire with brains can get strangle hold on the whole round earth if he is man enough to go after it, so he has small time for envy of other peoples, and such littleness.
 In Europe they are long past the noon of achievement and we-well, :, we're facing the dawn
 Our people will be tremendously changed, though, at the end of this business. Mixing with all of nation alities, the boys are broadening lot. They'll have new ideas of geography and the other peoples of the earth, and they will junk lot of the shibboleths of the past
 And America will have to be mighty careful about immigration. About 50 per cent. of the young folks you talk to over here say they're going to the United States when the war is over. Unless their own governments prohibit emigration, we'll have to pu. up the bars or be fairly swamped. They think we're the luckiest people alive.

RONALD FROST KILLED
Ronald Frost killed .

Ronald Frost killed,
 In a brief letter by the last mail from his father, w. E. Frost, of l9 and 2l Heddon street, (Regent street), Lon- don, England, to Claude Baker, vice. president of the Miners & Merchants Bank of Iditarod, the writer says:
 "You will be sorry to hear that my son, Ronald Frost, was killed last Oct ober in trying to save his men; he gained the Military Cross for gallantry. I have not felt up to writing before. You evidently know what a very fine young man he was. feel you will not mind me writing you, as you were his friend. With kind regards, &c."
 Ronald Frost was resident of Idit- arod from 1910 until the opening of navigation in 1915, when he started for his home ill England to answer his country's call. During his stay here he held positions in different mercan- tile houses, and was for several years one of the most enthusiastic workers in behalf of the local Arctic Brother hood camp. ''Frosty," as he was known by all bis friends, was splendid, clean cut young man of sterling worth-a thorough gentleman at all stages of life's game. The sad news of his death caused widespread sorrow among his old townies, and many were the sin cers expressions of genuine regret. To learn that Ronald had won the Mil. itary Cross for gallantry was not sur prising to his many friends in Alaska they knew he could rise to any emer- gency where manly actions count.
 He will be long remembered.

Back Up the Gard System.

Some localities in the state are
making report to Federal Food Admin
istrator Andrew M. Soulc that the spir-
1t and letter Of fairness of the flour

WILL GEORGIA RAISE
NEEDED MULE COLTS?
Many Are Needed For War
Service.

A great question has come up Of
Gate among Georgia farmers, whether
they should buy mules or horses be-
cause of the high price Of mules.
The British. French, italian and our
own government are buying both
horses and mules very freely. The
probable reason mules are higher in
price than horses is that there are
only about 4,S44,00 mules as opposed
to 21,563,000 horses in the United
States.
Should the war continue for another
year or two Georgia farmers will be
asked to help furnish mules for war
purposes and use more horses. Expe-
rience has shown that under certain
conditions the mule is better trans
port animal than the horse, and they
will be used more and more by our
government.
Georgia Is great livestock state,
and for the better class Of white farm.
ers the raising of mule colts should
be very profitable enterprise. The
heavier the mules the better the price
received for them. Now to raise large
mule colts will require at least 1900.
pound good grade draft mares. At
present these mares can be bought in
Iowa and Illinois for from 5000 to
$3.50 I. o. b. Georgia.
The idea that large horses cannot
do as much work as n mule is erro-
neous. A mare can stand as much as
a mule in the way Of work, and, when
she has her colt, she only needs two
or three weeks off and she is ready
for hard work again.--C. A. Martini,

culture.

TEACHERS NEEDED FOR.
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
Offers Possibilities For Real
Leadership And Service.

With the rapid development of vo-
eational education comes a new and
striking demand for teachers. Our
colleges OF agriculture all over the
country have been overworked for the
past ten years in attempting to meet
the demand for trained farmers, re-
search workers, college and extension
teachers. Little or no attention has
been given to the preparation of teach
ers in the field OF secondary agricul-
ture. The demands. therefore, in this
important field OF educational work can
not now be met. Trained teachers are
not to be had. The men who drafted
the "Smith-Hughes Bill'' realized this
fact and made provisions for the train
ing Of this type Of teacher
The teacher training work in voca-
tional agriculture is being provided for
at the Georgia State Agricultural Col
lege. A division of Agricultural Edu
cation has been established, and is now
offering regular courses TO those pre-
pairing to enter this field of work
uGSe COURSES are open 10 ASJlCulIuid l
College students or graduates. It is
evident that, on account of the mill
tary call, some special means of meet
ing the demands in this work will have
to be resorted to. Special courses will
be offered during the summer session
this year to both regular agricultural
college students and to those who are
now in this work or who are trying
to qualify for it.
This should prove an attractive field
in which to work for those who know
and are in sympathy with country life.
There are no limits to the possibilities
for real leadership and service. The
opportunities for advancement are as
broad as the movement itself. Write

FOOD FACTS

More American Corn Being Used.
Interesting information just receiv-
ed by DR.. A. M. Soule. through Wash
iAgtcn, from the foodstuffs reports
from abroad, is that there is now a
constantly increasing use of American
CON for food abroad.
England and France knew compar-
atively nothing OF the human food
value Of maize" before the war and,
until recently, had begun to learn but
slowly how and when and why to use
1t. The people of those countries,
though, are finding its place in the
everyday dict and in the course of
time there will be more and more call
for corn as that knowledge becomes
more widespread.
Thl3 IS but one more Of the many
reasons Why the South. and particu-
lariy Georgia, must give better atten-
tlon to larger production of corn
than has been in the past years.

FORCE COTTON TO

Boil Weevil' Fight Will Be
- Harder Than Ever.

EARLY maturity Of cotton is essential
10 success in growing the crop under
boil weevil conditions. Aside from Sc
fecting a variety with earliness as a
characteristic, it is important that the
plant be helped by every possible slim
ulant to set and mature its fruit at
the earliest possible date. Hence 1t
becomes important to fertilize with
this end in view.
Contributing to the early maturity
Of a plant, PHOSPHORUS is Of chief
Importance. Therefore, to promote
early fruition Of the cotton, an applica-
ton Of phosphoiic acid should be
made, generally speaking, about 400
mounds to the acre
If other forms are used tn appli-
cation should be made in time and
condition should be such as to render
the PHOSPHORUS available at the
proper time.
After good fertilizing clean and con
slant cultivation should be practiced

ing and will continue to increase until

ties lover there" in sufficient quantity
TO meet actual demands.
Milled flour can't be shipped from
this country in large quantities because
Of the activity of the germ after it is
milled; therefore, in order that there
will be no loss, the wheat must be
shipped and milled after arrival. That
does not mean, however, that the pro-
portion of wheat flour and substitutes
for wheat in the mixing of the -four
is any less in France or England or on
the war fronts than we are asked TO
observe. In fact, the substitution is
somewhat greater, and has been in
practice for a considerably longer time.
Sugar Is again an increasing need.
Conservation of it must be remember

the making of pastries and tarts for
