1t is estimated that the gardens promoted
last year by the WCmens Federation pro-
duced more than fifty thousand dollars worth
of food
The Journals garuen on Grant Place was
a big success frurl it's very inception last
summer, not only producing a very large
quantity OF vegetables but also attracting
thrOng of information seekers who took ad-
vantage Of the opportunity to get practical ad-
vice from Expert Deckner. The garden will
5be operated again thi: year with Mr, Deckner
in charge. He is now giving garden lectures
at the cooperative Kitchen operated jointly
by The Journal AID The State College of Ag-
riculture, and is receiving callers daily at his
office in the Arcade. where from fifteen to
twenty garden enthusiasts drop in every day
to get information as to preparation of soil,
selection of seed, choice Of crops to be
planted.
If "War Garden was useful institu-
ton while the Nation was engaged with the
Allies in destroying the military power of
Germany, how much more useful will it be in
time of peace, as a Victory Garden" to per-
form its part in feeding a hungry and war
ridden world anu thereby preventing the
spread of Bolshevism. Hungry peoples are
dangerous peoples, and there are millions of
hungry people i'll Europe today. Social and
political insanity is liable to seize them at any
moment the dispatches constantly remind
us. President Wilson and Herbert Hoover
are authority for the statement that vast
quantities of food are obliged to be had in
Europe to stem the rising tide of anarchy.
Nothing else will take it's place.
1t is essential, therefore, that civilization
shall now be saved from this new peril-a
peril no less to be feared than the peril of
German military might. Every little garden
in America this year will be doing it's part in
world undertaking on which depends the
future of all est bl.shed institutions, both
Christian and democratic.

World conditions, present and prospective,
amply warrant the War Departments an
nounced policy to maintain for some time to
come minimum army of five hundred thou
sand men. This is in wise militarstic; it
is simply PRUDENTIAL We hope for the best
in Europe and over all the earth. But who
can tell what year or a day may bring forth
whilst the world settling from an upheaval
that has shaken it to the depths? Who will
venture forecast Of Russia, of the Balkans.
Of Germany or, 20 come nearer home, of
Mexico?
No one ina gines the United States being
drawn into foreign conflicts that do not touch
it's vital interests. and touch them to the core.
But as a cOadjutcr in the high task of pre-
venting another g eat war as a guarantOr of
the peace treaty which we expect soon to be
drawn and adopted, the United States will
have responsibilities which it must be pre-
pared to meet. Its best instrument to this
end is, Of course an adequate navy; that pro-
vided we shall have no need of a great stand
ing army either for defense or for the dis
charge of international duties But in this
connection two points OF practical import
should be noted. In the first place, sea power
is no substitute :ur land forces, and of itself
might be called % 10 meet In the next place.
an army of only five hundred thousand all
branches of service inclureC and the range of
American territory considered, is anything
but excessive in ti:res like these.
This does not imply that even so small an
army may not be safely reduced, and then
still further redu ,nd as soon as conditions
warrant. But we are dealing now with the
present; and we must deal with it cautiously
in order that the future may be tranquil and
secure.

Peace Time Gardens.

Indications poiLt to a continuance of the
home garden movement with undated en-
thusiasm, even though the war is over and
the powerful incentive of patriotic necessity
is gone.
There is too much food, too much saving of
actual cash, too much wholesome enjoyment
in the cultivation OF home garden, for the
people to throw them overheard and forget
them. Evidently they are going to keep the
great work going ans make it still greater.
The Atlanta Federation of Women's Clubs
is preparing throl,gn it's garden committee, Of
which Mrs. Alfred c. Wilson is chairman, to
tnaugprate its annual campaign for home gar
dens; and The Atlanta Journals garden at
Grant Place will soCr be going full blast I'M
der the skilIful hand of w. B. Deckner.
In 1916 the WCnen's Federation succeeded
in convincing ten persons that a vacant lot or
backyard garden wC1ld be a worthwhile en-
terprise. In 1917 tbe movement jumped to
four hundred gardens. In 1918 it jumped to
one thousand gardens. This year Mrs. Wilson
hopes to see it jump TO two thousand gardens.
The Federation fur 2shes seed and plants to
families who cannot spare the money to buy
them Children who would otherwise be run

SAGE the Potatoes.

Among her may fruits and vegetables and
edible farm products Georgia produces moth
ing sWeeter and mere nOurishing than the
YAM" which grows to remarkable size and
delicious perfection of flavor in the sandy
soils of South Georgia.
1t is now time. when the food producing
and food conserving propaganda is at it's
height, to begin SYST ematic efforts to save the
sweet potato and make it practically year
round article of diet.
: The Federal Department of Agriculture has
perfected type Of potato drying house that
renders sweet potatoes almost as sound as
Irish potatoes. By drying out certain pro-
portion of the moisture they absorb from the
ground, it is easy to keep them until the
next years crop comes in Besides their de-
are decidedly valuable as market product.
Sweet potatoes are LOW selling at very sub
stantial prices N the grocery store
Most Georgia equities now employ agri-
cultural demonstration agents. These young
gentlemen are trained, scientific farmers.
They are competent to supervise the
construction of all kinds of farm build
ings. Why would it lot be worthwhile I'M
dertaking for every demonstration agent to
establish in his County a number of sweet
potato drying plants. It would no doubt be
an easy matter D incuce progressive farmer
in each community to provide the lumber and
labor. Probably 4 merchant in nearly every
town would put UP q large plant for storing
potatoes for the neigh borhood These dem
onstrations of the efficiency of the potato
drying houses would soon multiply the use
of the Governments blue-prints. Hundreds
of thousands of bushels would be conserved
every year, besides stimulating a great in
crease in production.

mon surroundings, for boys like him
really to try to get him a better figure
with better lungs inside of it.
These boys ought to be the first and
last care of any college physical de-
partment.
Bad as have been the physical results of
intercollegiate athletics, the moral results
have been far worse. These games are
brutal and brutaliNng.
President Eliot, of Harvard university,
while president Of that institution, said of
intercollegiate football: ''It is too rough
it is far worse than prize fighting. Very
few prize fighters are manned for life, but
every year young men of ability and promise
are made lifelong Cripples by football" He
might have said that during the season of
football such year one student week is
killed. In one season the number ran as
high as SO, and when it is remembered that
the football period generally lasts no more
than about ten weeks, the average per week
for that season was nearly six.
1t cannot fail to brutalize Students when
stimulated by personal pride and an excess
sive zeal for alma mater, they are hurled
upon each other IN massed formation with
the absolute certainty and expectation that
a certain number will be injured, and, in
deed, must be injured in the game.
1t brutaliZes both participants and spec
tators to degree but the participants are

SECRET DIPLOMACY
BV DR.. Frank Crane

One of the worst enemies to permanent
success at the peace conference will be Sc
crecy.
If the delegates are to go whispering
about in the corridors and come out into the
open only to speak harmless platitudes, if
momentOus questions are to be settled In
dark corners and only the results to be
nounced to the world in the public confer
ence, if we are to have the same huckster-
ing, swapping shopping diplomacy that has
heretofore characterized the making of
treaties then the edeglates may go away
with the comforting assurance that their Ia
bors have been wasted and their patched
up agreement will hardly last until they get
back home
Justice is hard enough to determine be-
tween man and man, harder still between ma
ton and nation, and hardest of all in the in
finite complexities of such questions as will
confront world council.
| The only guarantee of justice is publicity
! No nation can be trusted in the dark
No representative of the people can afford
to make deals in the dark. That should be
left to representatives of dynasties.
"The days of secret cOnclaves,' said Lord
| NOrthciffe the other day, "are dead and
gone. C1andestine assemblies are the har-
| bOrs of intrigue, suspicion, and deception.
1t would be intolerable that the fate of whole
nations. great and small, should be decided
in secret. Such would be mockery of that
principle of self-determination of free ma
lions which has been fought for and won in
| this war. Labor, upon which the great
losses of life during the have mainly
fallen, is alarmed at the prospect of great
world plans being carried out without its
knowledge. Surely the world has suffered
enough from secret diplomacy to realize that
medievalism of that kind is totally incom-
patibe with the conception of league of
| free nations
Gertrude Atherton complains of the Nick
! Carter and Sherlock Holmes atmosphere
that already is surrounding the diplomats at

| to get anyone to talk freely.
eff we were really modern" she declares,
! eff we were not still as antiquated as car
dom and kaiserdom, there would be a con-
crete peace table out in the great hall Of the
palace at Versailles where all the corr
respondents of the world would sit just be-
hind the plenipotentiaries, and to which as
many of the intelligent public would be adj
mitted the great hall could accommodate.
1t would be highly interesting to hear these
great men change their minds in public and
| tilt and win and lose. But the only way to
obtain a new method for diplomacy is to
coin another word for the business"
| The wicked are informed upon high
authority, love darkness rather than light,
and while there may be danger that some
statesman speaking right out in meeting
may spill the beans, the probabilities are
that the beans, after all, would not be fit
to eat and would be better split
