FARM PROSPERITY
in GRAVE DANGER

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special)- That there
is a large element of danger for
Southern farm prosperity in the pres
en-: situation, is the firm belief Of H.
G. Hastings, President of both the
Georgia State Chamber Of Commerce
and the Southeastern Fair Associa-
ton.
Mr. Hastings repeated substantially
his statement of year ago when he
said: "Unthinking people are apt to
attribute the present measure of farm
prosperity in the South to the high
price of cotton rather than to it's real
cause.
Just as soon as peace began to ap-
pear probable last fall. there was
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 cot
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
been little prosperity for any one but
the supply merchant. Cotton was and
is relatively lower in price than food
stuffs, and will continue to be for
years to come.
can extra two or three million
bales In the 1919 cotton crop will
smash present attractive prices, while
the worldwide demand for bread and
meat and the disorganization of food
production in Europe incident to the
war, means high food prices every
where for years to come.
High food prices are certainty
and low cotton prices are an equal
certainty If 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
ity. If we 60 back to our old before
the-war system OF growing all cotton
and buying all food and grain, we will
get another jolt like 1914 with rea-
SOnabie certainty.
present Southern farm prosperity
can be maintained in one way only.
Produce on home acres, SO far as pos
sible, every pound OF food, vegetables,
grain, hay and forage needed by fam
| ily and livestock, then put every other
| available acre in cotton or other cash
crop. This method means cash crops
| made with little or no debt-the crop
| owned by the. producer at the end OF
the season instead Of owed to the
supply merchant.
Food and grain production suffi'
| cient for home needs, insures contin-
| ued farm prosperity. Dropping back
to the old way means debt like mill
| ~tone around the farmers neck"

CERTIFIED IRISH POTATO
SEED RECOMMENDED
Growers Of Potatoes for Market Should
Procure Best Seed Potatoes
for Planting.

D. C. Neal, extension pathologist,
Louisiana State University, recently
made trip to Wisconsin and Mime
sofa to study the methods used in pro-
ducing certified Irish potato seed and
to ascertain what the possibilities
would be of securing some of these DO
tatoes for planting in Louisiana. He
obtained list OF reliable people from
whom certified seed potatoes can be
secured. Persons interested in grow
ing potatoes and potato dealers are in
vited to write to the Extension Divi-
sion, Louisiana State University, for
this list. Mr.. Neal says that the large
brokers, from whom most of the seed
potatoes are ordered, handle nothing
but field run potatoes and a very in
ferior grade at that. Professor Per
kins, Direction of Extension, thinks it
worth while for persons growing pota-
toes for market to procure few of the
certified potatoes.

kultur-the Real STUFF.

sNNsAAs|SssS SNO0s SsuHs
Neustrelitz was mainly for Russian
prisoners, and there were neither Brit
1sh nor French soldiers interned there
only sailors of the merchant marine
such as the men 1 was with. The
Russians were given far worse treat
ment than any other prisoners. This
was for two reasons, as near as could
make out. One was that the Russian
would stand most anything, whereas
the British and French could only be
goaded to a certain point, and beyond
that lay trouble. The other reason
was that the Russians sent German
prisoners to Siberia, or at least, so the
Huns thought, and Fritz hates the
cold. So, hating the Russians, ana
realizing that they were used to be-
ing under-dogs, Fritz picked on them
and bullied them in a way that the
rest Of us would not have stood. We
would have rushed them and gone
west with bayonets first.
The barracks were made Of spruce,
and were about ninety feet long and
twenty-five feet wide, and you can
take it from me that as carpenters,
whoever made them were fine farm
ers. There were cracks in them that
you could drive an automobile through.
When we were there, each barracks
had stove in the center, good stove
and big one, but at first it was of
no use to us, because the Germans
would not give us coal or wood for it.
But after shivering for while, we be-
gan ripping the boards out of the bar
racks, and taking the dividing boards
from the benches that we used for
beds.
Later, they gave each of us a mat
tress filled with wood shavings, and a
blanket that was about as warm as q
pane of glass. The mattresses were
placed on the ground In the barracks,
which were very damp, and after three
or four days, the shavings would be-
gin to rot and the mattresses to smell.
In order to keep warm We slept as
close together as we could, which
caused our various diseases to spread
rapidly.
When we were receiving our rations,
the sentries would offer us an extra
ration if we would take q lash from
their belts. We were so hungry that
many and many q man would go up
and take swat in any part of his
body from the heavy leather belts
with brass tongue and buckle, Just to
get a little more shadow" soup or
barley coffee or mud bread.

COMBINING HENS TO
THE BACK YARD

A yard surrounded by a five-foos
fence will, under most conditions
keep chickens at home. If the hens
show tendency TO fly over such 4
fence, the flight feathers of one wink
should be clipped. A fence made Of
woven wire is preferable to fence
made Of board or other material. A
board should not be used at the ton
of wire fence. as this gives the
hens visible place to alight and
tends to teach them to fly over. The
larger the yard which can be provid.
cd the more contented the hens viii,
be. It not only gives them greater
opportunity to exercise, but often
makes it possible to maintain a sod
on the yard, which is advisable.
