AMERICA NOT SAFE
from hun ATTACK
Germany Determined To Keep Farm
ers From Shipping Products to
European Markets.

Atlanta. - The average Southern
FARMER, situated far from the seacoast,
thinks he is secure even should the
Kaiser, in his mad desire for conquest,
attempt an invasion of America.
He is enjoying the most prosperous
period of his life. Cotton Is bringing
thirty cents pound-and more; there
is a ready market for hogs and cattle
at fancy prices; food crops are being
sold at unprecedented prices; and
the manufacturers have paid top notch
figures for velvet beans and other
crops.
1t is but natural that the farmer,
contented with life, should have no
thought Of the dangers surrounding
him.
why should this war worry me?"
the farmer asks himself, thinking of
the miles of hills and valleys that
separate him from the seacoast. 81
am not concerned with the freedom
Of the seas and Germany's right to
overrun Belgium, France and Italy.
II they should ever send an army
here, why I'd fight" he says.
Anything that affects the general
welfare of the Country affects the
farmer. And the freedom of the
seas"-no other policy established by
the United States has been and will
be more beneficial to the Southern
farmer.
Keep Seas Free.
1t was the governments determine
ton to keep the seas free that has
enabled the Southern farmer to mar
ket his cotton crop for thirty cents
a pound instead OF six
When the war Is over steady
stream of agricultural products manu-
featured articles and materials Of all
kinds will continue to flow to war
stricken Europe. Thousands Of YES
sells will be engaged in this commerce.
With hungry market and plenty Of
bottoms available, freight rates will
be correspondingly lower. The South
ern farmer should be as vitality inter
ested in ocean transportation as in
rail transportation.
The rugged hills and vast plains
will not stop Germany from wiping
the commerce off the seas and cutting
off the rest Of Europe from trade with
the Southern farmer. Neither will
they protect the farmer should Ger
many actually invade America. A hos
tile army would not strike first at the
farms, It would attack the seat Of
government Washington - situated
only short distance from the sea. And
once In control Of Washington il
would have the reins and from there
would force the farmer to do its bid
ding.
Building Many Ships.
The United States Government has
determined to check. not only Ger
many's greed for territory but It's am
bition to control the seas. The gov
eminent has undertaken shipbuilding
program that will supply the vessels
for the farmer to send his products to
European markets. not only during the
war but afterwards. These projects
cannot be successfully carried ont I'M
less the government r. given support
BY the people. Billions OF dollars are
needed. The farmer not only displays
his yAtTiOtism by lending the Govern.

time TO PRUNE.

Now that the weather has opened up
farmers VINO have orchards should be.
gin to think about getting them pruned
and SPRAYED. This month is an excel
lent time and as soon as you have
caught up with last years work. why
not go in the orchard and prune it up.
You can hardly expect it to produce
fruit when you never give it the least
attention. The man who has a neglect
ed orchard which never bears generally
salves his conscience by saying that
this is no fruit country. Orchards
should be sprayed with the hGie-sul.
phur solution any time from now until
the buds begin to open. Use one gal
Ion of the lime-sulphur solution TO eight
or nine of water. After the petals
have fallen and before the calyx cup
has closed orchards should be sprayed
with the lime-sulphur arsenate of lead
mixture. "a to gallons of lime sui
phur arsenate Of lead to so gallons Of
water.
Any one desiring information on prun-
ing or spraying should get IN touch
with the County Agent He will be
glad TO call and see you and spend one
half day showing you the best way to
prune and spray your orchard.

HEATLESS DAYS
Suspended For Kentucky Unless Bad
Weather Restores Them.

Suspension Of the hcatiess MONDAYS
was announced last week by Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield, with the reservo-
tion that it may be put back before the
ten weeks period expires if the return
Of bad weather brings another break
down in rail transportation. At the
same time DR.. Garfield gave the State
Fuel Administrator full authority TO
continue the closing down order in
their jurisdiction if. in their opinion,
circumstances demand il. Aside from
New England, it is said, there is little
probability that it viii remain in force
anywhere. In the New England States
the programme of heatless days may
be carried through to Maren %, the
original date set. The Heatless Mon
days were decreed by the fuel admin
istrator on January II and four have
been observed in all states east of the
Mississippi except those south Of Vir-
ginis. The order was enforced in the
South three Mondays but was lifted
there last week.

Pityina Not Consolino.

II is said that the blind are easily
discouraged, and one should never talk
To them about their misfortune. In
Portugal. where the blind are more
numerous, posters are placed on the
walls Of the workshops bearing this
inscription; "Neyer pity the blind
when talking to them" This advice
has been followed in France. In many
schools In France one reads signs as
follows: "Pitying Is not consoling."

several months Of suffering. For the

While it was known for the past
month that the end was near. yet his
passing away east gloom over the
city of his birth and where he lived 50

While we would not intrude upon the
privacy of his bereft and devoted wife.
in this sacred hour Of her deepest sor-
row, yet, this community with I'M
covered heads. will mingle tears with
her in common grief that touches every
heart and home. To our human view.
it would have seemed better that he be
spared for while longer. yet in the
Divine plan we daily see that
Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the North
Winds breath.
And stars to set but all,
Thou hast all Seasons for thine
Own, o, Death.
