SEND LABOR TO THE FARMS

Georgia farmers have planted large acreages
is working full capacity and at the present the
crops are we'll worked and in good growing condi-
ton, We have. Lad the most favorable seasons
for farm work that have been known in Geor-
gia. Even though get favorable weather
through the remainder of cultivating season, the
harvest is coming and labor conditions may be even
worse in the fall than they at present.
As d precaution against the failure to gather
the crops, we urge business men and others inter-
ested In the different phases Of to consider
organization for the purpose Of mobizing and
directing distribution of all labor that may be
available for farm work in cases of emergency
Especially in small towns and country places could
this matter be handled with success. A commit
tee of business and farmers could get together
and devise plans for putting into effect this idea
Through cooperation along this line activities In
the business life of most towns could be so directed
as to make such a scheme of cooperation very
helpful, and possibly in that might arise
save many acres of crops that otherwise would
liable food and feed stus, as well as cotton might
be saved that otherwise would go to waste
This proposition could be handled and plans
worked out for such cooperation between towns
and surrounding farms as to give farmers in emer-
gencies the greatest amount of help from every
available source of labor that could spend day
or two of each week, more in farm work.
An organization of this kind in the towns could
prepare lists of available help fix working condi-
tions, hours, wages, ETC., and could render most
patriotic service in emergencies.
1t should be borne in mind that should there
be a waste of crops account of the shortage: of
labor the farm during the harvest season, that
the towns and cities will suffer more than will

AUSTRIA Hungry'S Ration.

The weekly food ration OF the average civilian
in Austria-Hungary printed in the Arbeiter-
Zeitung, Of Vienna, and reported by The Hague
correspondent of the London Daily Mail is as fol-
lows:
Twenty-one ounces of bread; one pound
of potatoes, OF which half cannot be eaten;
of black bran mash; one ounce of
another mill product; an ounce and a half of
fat; six and one-half ounces of sugar; one
egg; seven ounces OF meat, and a little jam
and coffee substitutes.
This weekly total of three and half pounds of
food is about one-fourth OF what the German
civilian gets hardly one-ninth of the American
soldiers fare. 1t is not to be wondered that
Emperor Karl's subjects restless. The majority
of them are not German, but are ruled with the
Mailed Fist. They overtaxed and underfed
worked like pack horses and treated like slaves
all for the glory of the Hapsburgs and Hohenzol-
lerns.
An effective or far-reaching revolt in the Dual
Monarchy is not to be counted upon in making our
war plans; indeed, prudence bids us discount
entirely the internal troubles of the Central Pow
ers aud proceed if the enemy had no problems
at home. But it can hardly be doubted that soon
or late Austra-Hungary will split to pieces 1t is
too unwieldly and ill-sorted empire too diverse
in the character and ideals of its peoples too
oppressive in its government to survive the shock
of the present war.
Germany, of course, expects to absorb Austria
Hungary along with the richer portions of Russia
and of the Balkans; the treaty recently signed by
the Austrian Emperor at German military head
quarters points Enthusiastically to that end. But the
Allies will see to it that such menace to the
worlds future peace and no such crime against
the oppressed peoples concerned is permitted. The
Slavs of Austria-HuD gary, like those of Poland,
will be vouchsafed full freedom when peace is
made.

The Seb-SuStalning South.

The Triton Gazette points to the thousands of
acres of green and luxuriant corn, peas and kin
bred crops in its county as typical of new era In
Georgia and throughout the South, era of dt-
versifed and bountiful food production contrasting
happily with the all-cotton regime that prevailed
decade ago and betokening unexampled prosperity
for the years ahead. The Gazette truly declares
that the South is not only beginning to feed
itself but is also helping to feed other regions for
by filling its own barns and larders it is de-
ereasing the drain on the agricultural West, and
thereby is releasing the products of that section
for the less productive parts of America and for ex-
portation to the zone. The extent to which
food crops are being raised in the South as COM
pared with eight or nine years ago is evidenced in
the following figures:
In 1909 only 1850 of velvet beans
were planted in the South; in 1917 the velvet
bean crop in this section covered 100000.
In 1909 only 1929 acres were planted in soy
beans; in 1917 the acreage was estimated at
half a million. The acreage in peas is
said to have been trebled since 1909. The
acreage in peanuts since 1909 has been null
tipIied by six in Georgia, Florida and Ala
bama and by eight in Texas and adjoining
States. The acreage last year was three and
one-fourth millions compared with less than
half a million nine years ago. The acreage
in all three crops velvet and soy beans and
peanuts increased from $4,000 in 1909 to
s,350,0o0 in 1917, nearly all this acreage in
the South.
The progress thus revealed brings with it, as
the Triton Gazette remarks, Improvement of the
SOIL the production of home fertilizers, while with
the increase in animal feeds and forage come meat
and milk to a section that formerly
a consumer of the surplus meat and dairy
products of the North and West" These
conditions make for the Strengthening of the
ton we'll for the prosperity of the people who
have brought them to pass Let Georgia continue
producing food crops and food animals in ever in
creasing abundance for thereby she is making sure
her future good fortune and is helping to win the
war.
We suspect Germany will give up Belgium faster
than she expects.

The Work or Fight Bill

In passing by a virtually unanimous vote the
bill requiring all ablebodied persons between the
ages of eighteen and fifty years to engage in some
useful occupation at least five days of the week.
the Georgia Senate has responded commercially to
ment. The public has grown intensely impatient
of idlers in this time of the nations supreme need
of service. The physically fit man who Goes not
fight or work is Stacker and in effect, friend to
the Huns. Loyal people have no tolerance for
him, and the law should leave him no ground to
skulk
Simply as an aid to essential war industries
the pending bill deserves enactment. Our farms
in critical need of labor and will suffer greatly
unless they are helped. The State and the nation
will suffer with them for Of all the sinews pros
perity and of is fundamental as food.
Georgia farmers responded wholeheartedly to the
needs of the time. They planted an unusually
large acreage of foodstufs and have toiled faith
fully in its cultivation But they cannot make or
harvest their crops without more labor for emer-
gency seasons. Similar conditions obtain in many
fields of manufacturing and production. In these
circumstances it is not only unpatriotic but really
criminal for ablebodied men to loaf away their
time; and it is the duty of the Legislature to lay
the whip of justice hard upon the back all such
offenders.
Measures similar to that now proposed for
Georgia have been adopted by number of other
States and have proved highly effective in driving
the drones to service. 1t is to be hoped that the
House will lose time in following the Senate's
example and giving this Commonwealth the bene-
fit of so useful and patriotic law

amounts of meat and fats go the longest way?
Are you preaching and practicing food con-
servation whenever possible?"
Householders who can answer yes to these peril
