THE AMERICAN WOMAN'S DIS
TINCTIVE TASK

American women sent their men,
with high courage, to face death three
thousand miles away; they have work
ed through long months of suspense
with more than courage-with ardor
they have fed the hungry and clothed
the naked, filled their anxious minds
with active plans and their hands with
work. The guerdon of their sacri-
flee has been reached. Now, after
the first joy of victory subsidies and
we have become accustomed to the
blessed relief of laying aside nameless
dead, and do not wake to wonder if
the men of our blood are throwing
their bodies against steel and fire,
we shall turn US again to our woman's
distinctive task of conserving and re-
building-of feeding the young and
the old, be they far or near.-From
Feeding the World in 1912" in the
February Red Cross Magazine.

SAL vATIDN ARMY
v OPENS new HOTEL

A hotel-or hostel as it is known
for the accommodation of wives, mo-
theirs, sisters and sweethearts of SOL
diers, and which combines some of
the features of hospitals, was for
mally accepted by the United States
government at Camp Gordon, through
Major General Cameron, from the
Salvation Army on Saturday after
noon.
The hostel is new departure for
the Salvation Army, which built it at
cost of $4,000 and turned it over
to the governement. 1t is in keep
ing with the huts which have been
built at Norfolk and Newport News,
Va, and which have been dedicated
within the last few weeks.
The Salvation Army, which has
been praised highly by every return
ing soldier from France, and in thous-
ands of letters from boys still with
the army of occupation, has decided
that this is one of the greatest eff
forts which can be done on this side.
In a recent communication to the
Salvation Army from Raymond B.
Fosdick, who is the man acting for
the government in all matters with
relief associations, the work of the
Army was highly praised and it was
urged to increase it's efforts towards
helping soldiers in America.
The hut at Camp Gordon has &C
cancellations for more than 100 and
and is principally for the use of
who come on visits to them. Mrs.
Nell Wilkinson acted as official hostess
at the dedication and she has assist
ing her many of the leading society
and club women of the city.
The address in which the hut was
rendered to the government was made
by Col. William Peart, chief executive
secretary of the Salvation Army. He
is in Atlanta attending the 32nd an
nual Southern Congress of the Saliva
ton Army. Other leading figures
present at the dedication, and who
are attending the congress are: Col.
Richard Holz, provincial officer for
the Atlantic Coast Province; Col.
Thomas Stayon, in charge of all Sal
walton Army huts overseas; Briga-
der Andrew Crawford, in charge of
the Atlanta Division, and Staff Cap
tain Halpin, one of the pioneers in
Salvation Army work among the
American soldiers in France, and who
will be in charge of the hut at Camp
Gordon.
Captain Halpin, known to thous-
ands and tens of thousands of dough-
boys as "Dad," went in the first
party of eleven of the Army which
accompanied the first American Di-
vision across. He was with Adju-
tant Purviance and Captain Sheldon
when these two girls fried the first
doughnuts for the boys overseas and
made the tremendous hit with them
that has become history.

FARM PROSPERITY
IN GRAVE DANGER
Hastings Declares Greater Food Pro-
ductIon Essential To The Main
tenance OF Agricultural
! Prosperity

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special THAT there
as large element OF danger for
Southern farm prosperity in the pres
emit situation, is the firm belief OF H.
a Hastings, President of both the
Georgia State Chamber OF Commerce
and the Southeastern Fair Assocda
tion.
Mr., Hastings repeated substantially
his statement of year ago when ne
said: "Unthinking people are apt to
attribute the present measure Of farm
,nrosperity in the South to the high
price of cotton rather than to its real
cause.
Gust as soon as peace began to ap-
,rear probable last fall, there was q
distinct let-up in the planting OF wheat
oats and other small grains. one
Georgia cotton farmer said to me, If
we are going to have peace. we are
not going to plant any wheat In my
neighborhood.'
"Of course the high price of Get
TON has helped, but If it had not been
for the increased supply OF bread
meat. vegetables, grain and forage
made on the farms, there would have
heen little prosperity for any one but
the supply merchant. Cotton was ana
.as relatively lower in price than food
a+uffs and will continue to be for
years to come.
"An extra two or three million
hales in the 1919 cotton crop VIII
smash present attractive prices, Whlle
4be worldwide demand for bread and
meat and the disorganization OF 1000
production in Europe incident to the
war means high food prices every
where for years to come.
"High food prices are a certainty
and low cotton prices are an equal
certainty II the food and grain acres
of 1916, 1917 and 1918 are thrown back
into cotton in 1919. Herein lies the
danger to our present farm prosper
jfv If we go back to our old before
fhe-war system of growing all cotton
and buying all food and grain, we VIII
set another jolt like 1914 with rea
aonable certainty.
"Present Southern farm prosperity
~an he maintained in one way only
produce on home acres, SO far as pos
sible. every pound of food, vegetables
vrain. hay and forage needed by fam
az and livestock, then put every other
.va;lahle acre in cotton or other cash
cron This method means cash crops
made with little or no debt--the CROP
owned by the producer at the end OF
4he season instead Of owed to the
supply merchant
.Food and grain production sum
cient for home needs, insures contln
ned farm prosperity. Dropping Daci
40 the old way means debt like a mill
s1oua around the farmers neck"

LESS COTTON MORE
CORN FOR SAFETY

Atlanta, January 23.-Commis-
sioner of Agriculture ]. ]. Brown
strongly advises Georgia farmers to
plant an abundance of food crops
this year and to hold their cotton
acreage down to a minimum. Mr..
Brown bases this advice both on the
cotton situation generally, which in
wolves a bear raid apparently well
capitalized, and boil weevil conditions
which will in any event have their
effect in hte curtailment of the crop.
"Just at present" said Commissi-
oner Brown, the "the short selling
element is in control. There is no
doubt about this fact and there is
no need trying to minimize the effect
of it. 1t is a contest between the
speculative short sellers and the spot
holders.
at is impossible for US to tell just
at present to what extent the spot
holding movement will prevail against
This short selling campaign. The
short sellers on the exchanges are
using the argument that large acre
age will be planted to cotton. Every
body admits that the world will need
more cotton than the South can raise.
And yet at the present time, with no
systematic as yet perfected whereby
the cotoin producers can protect
themselves in the market, the only
safe course for them to pursue is to
reduce the acreage to cotton and plant
an abundance of food and feed crops.
'Under these conditions we have
no means of knowing just what is
going to come of the present con-
test; but we do know that if the pro-
ducers 90 ahead now and plant a
large acreage to cotton, the immedi
ate effect will be to encourage the
speculative short sellers who have
already put October cotton down to
20 cents and less for crop that is not
yet planted.
ave hope and believe that the cot
ton producers of the South will per-
feet some systematic organization to
protect themselves before the specu-
lators and their associates have taken
the situation completely out of their
hands. In any event, whether they
do. or do not form such an organiza
ton, it is their present duty to them
selves to reduce their cotton acreage
and grow the food stuffs of which
the world is. in so great need, and
which they know in advance they will
get an adequate and compensatory
market price"

PLANT ONLY GOOD
IRISH POTATO SEED

The Irish potato, especially the
spring crop, is becoming more i'm
portant in Georgia each year.
In the spring of 1918 many peo-
pie planted Irish potatoes with the
expectation of getting good yields,
but at harvest time some were great
ly disappointed at the small yields
obtained.
Various causes may account for the
poor yields, but one cause which was
observed throughout the State, was
the diseased seed potatos used. Some
potato diseases are not carried in
the seed, but the disease which caused
many poor crops last year, Potato
Mosaic, has been definitely proven
to be carried in the seed tubers. Mo-
sale manifests itself in the form of
stunted plants, with mottled or vari-
gated leaves. This nothing is due
to a loss of green coloring matter
or Chlorophyll, caused by the Mosaic
germ.
AS it is in the leaves of the plant
that starch is made which is stored
in the underground stems to form
tubers, any disease which reduces the
starch production in the leaves, re-
suits in a reduced yield of tubers.
Potatoes produced by diseased plants
are diseased, and if such potatoes
are uesd for seed, they will carry the
disease to the next corp, an so on
as long as such potatoes are used
for seed.
Fortunately, for the potato grower,
some varieties of Irish potatoes are
more resistant to the Mosaic disease
than others and this fact should be
considered in selecting seed potatoes.
A number Of varieties of Irish pota-
toes have been grown under obser-
walton for several years in Georgia
and other Southern States, and de-
finite recommendation can now be
made to aid growers in selecting good
seed.
In the spring of 1918, observations
made throughout Georgia, showed
that the Bliss Triumph potato was
seriously effected with Mosaic wher-
ever grown, regardless of the source
of the seed This variety, which is
medium sized spherical shaped po-
tato, with a reddish colored skin, is
also known under the names of Bliss,
Red Bliss and Triumph. 1t is reason
ably safe to suspect that any pota-
to conforming to the above descrip-
| %fnx1 &c pIico Tv.iV,rDor fhAI1orh
sold under another name, and the
chances are great that seed of this
variety will be diseased with Mosaic
regardless of where the seed were
raised.
Records obtained at the Georgia
Experiment Station, and in various
parts of the State since 1915, prove
that the Bliss Triumph does not give
as large yields as other varieties, such
as the Irish Cobbler.
These data bear out the observa-
ton that potatoes which are not at
tackled by Mosaic give larger yields
fo rit is known that the Irish Cobbler
is practically free from Mosaic, wher-
ever grown. The Irish Cobbler is a
good sized, white skinned potato,
rather f1attened in shape, and having
deep set eyes. 1t is also sold under
the name of Cobbler.
The Early Rose is another spring
crop potato which has given good re-
suits, in some sections. A selection
of this variety, known as Rose 4, is
raised extensively in the potato grow
ing sections of Florida.
Taking everything into considera-
ton the Irish Cobbler is the variety
The Marietta journal. (Marietta, Ga.) 1918-1944, 1919-01-24

best adapted for a spring crop potato
in all sections of Georgia. 1t is the
best yielder, and one of the earliest
maturing varieties grown. Growers
will do we'll to use the Irish Cobbler
for seed in preference to any other
variety which can be obtained for a
spring crop potato.

MAKE YOUR SHOES
WEAR LONGER

Ten months ago, w. H. Kelley, a
lumber salesman of Omaha, had pair
of shoes re-soled with Neolin Soles.
Mr.. Kelley does much walking and has
worn these shoes constantly. He says
they are still good for another ten
months of wear"
? Good shoe stores carry Neolin-soled
shoes in many styles for men, women
and children. They cost you no more
than shoes that give less wear Neolin
Soles are also available everywhere for
residing. Remember-these soles are
created by science to be what soles
should be- They are comfortable and
waterproof-as we'll as wearing.
They are made by The Goodyear Tire
& Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, who
also make Wingfoot Heels guaran-
teed to outwear any other heels.

A POLAND CHINA ~~
BREEDERS SUCCESS

Clemson College, July ia good
illustration of the success which is
being met with in South Carolina IN
hog breeding is to BE- found in the
case of Mr.. J. F. Shuler, Of Vance,
who bought a Poland China boar in
1918. Poland Chinas were not COM
mon in the state then but great
many farmers are now getting q
start with this breed.
Mr.. Shuler paid $47.5o for his
boar at eight months old, when It
weighed 180 pounds. He began a
feeding test at once, and when the
boar was IA months old it weighed
$40 pounds, which represents
gain of $50 pounds in 6 months. In
other words, the boar gained an av'
erage of IS pounds per month OF
1.s pounds per day. The best gain
for any 3O-day period was &c pounds
The feeds used in making these
gains were shorts, rice meal, corn
meal, and tankage, fed in the sloI
form. Corn meal or rice meal Zone

mixed as slops, and to this was added
tankage Zone pat)
Mr.. Shuler was so pleased with
his success with the boar that ne
has become interested in breeding
and now has 25 brood sows. He is
also making start in beef cattle
and has a small foundation herd.
Recently Mr.. Shuler was offered
$500 for the boar for which he had
paid $47.50 and promptly refused
the offer. 'I wouldn't take $1,000
fo him." said Mr.. Shuler, because
he has just the blood lines want
and I'm in the game to stay. He has
already made money for me and If
it had not been for my hog sales I
couldn't have held cotton this year" "

MISSIONARY UNION
MEETING IS HELD

The Woman's Missionary Union of
Abbeville Association held its annua!
meeting with the Midway Baptist
church July 9, 10, and II. A large
number Of delegates were present.
Some outstanding features Of the
program were the address on "Christ-

Fizer Of Columbia, message of the
superintendent, Mrs. D. A. G. QUITS,
messages of the associate superinten-
dents, Mrs. M. C. Milling, Miss Ruth

and the special Y. W. A., R. A., and
Sunbeam programs. Every section
OF the program was full of inspira-
tion and uplift. A memorial service
for the boys who have lost their lives
in the camps, or in France, was held
by Mrs. M. C. Milling. The names
Of the dead from the Baptist church.
es in this association were read. The
entire body of delegates stood at at
tention while Miss Ruth Pinson, and
Mrs. ]. Spann Harris sang, 'Lest We
Eorgt." There were twenty-one
Honor Roll societies this year.
The association as whole has ex-
ceeded it's apportionment. Credit is
due the officers, and the leaders who
have worked SO faithfully to bring
this to pass. We should, feel thank
full indeed that three girls from our
association are planning to attend
the Training School this fall. Miss
Katherine Harris, of Troy, is the re-
cipient of the scholarship from the
Welsh Neck association. Miss Harris
is a gaduate of Greenville Woman's
College. She is charming young
lady, and has endeared herself to the
whole association. Miss Clifford Bar
rett of Breezewood, was awarded the
Western Division scholarship. She is
a graduate of Winthrop College. For
several years she has served as coun-
ty demonstrator for Barnwen county.
Her friends througout the State re-
joice over this signal honor which
has been paid her. Miss Birch Clink-
scales, of Abbeville, expects to enter
the Training School also. She is a
graduate of Winthrop College. She
has served as pastors assistant in
Chester, and engaged in other mis-
sion work already. Her friends are
glad indeed, that she has dedicated
her life to missions. We are confident
that the lab6rs of these young ladies
shall not be in vain. They 60 forth
upheld by the approval, and prayers
of the entire association. We should
be churlish indeed, if we did not give
a rising vote of thanks to the men
and women of Midway church, who
entertained US so royalty. We shall
never forget the warm welcome, the
bountiful dinners, the auto rides, and
all the other good things we enjoyed
while at Midway. We are hoping thai
Midway will send large delegation
to Greenwood First Church next
July in order that we may repay in
some measure the boundless hospital
ity extended to us.-Index-Journal.
