uncle SAM" AND
the HOME GARDEN
Well Known Civic Leader Shows ha"
a Vegetable Garden Will Cut Tho
Family Store Bill In Half

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special)-"Few .peo-
pie realize the actual money-savlng
power of the home vegetable garden
and what it can be made to contrib
ute In the way Of food for the fam
ily table," says President H. G. Has
tings, of the Georgia State Chamber
OF Commerce, and the Southeastern
Fair, in discussing the matter OF food
supply for the South in 1919.
"Uncle Sam, through the United
States Department Of Agriculture"
said Mr.. Hastings, "estimated the
value of the vegetables produced last
year in home gardens Of the United
States at three hundred and fifty mil
lion of dollars. This means that much
actually saved by the garden makers
from their store bills.
whenever there is lack Of food or
money to buy food, no matter Wheth-
er it be due to worldwide food scare
ity. boil weevil damage or other cause,
the first word Uncle Sam passes out
to the sufferer is to make a good Dig
home garden. Why? Because the
right kind of a home garden is the
quickest, cheapest and best source OF
food supply there is.
"The great trouble here in the South
IS that our people don't take the home
garden seriously enough, or give 1t
the attention that it's importance as a
food producer and money-saver Justl-
fes. It is mostly made with a lick
and a promise and the cultivation and
replanting it gets during the growing
season is mostly of the unfulflled
promise kind.
with the present and certain-to-De-
continued high food prices on the one
hand. and the very great uncertainty
as to the price that cotton or other
cash crops will sell for next fall, II IS
q time above all others to play safe.
"This is no time to gamble on cot
ton. None of US can tell within 10
cents a pound what it will sell for
next fall. The farmer who makes few
or no store debts for food, producing
! his own and family needs on home
| acres, is safe regardless OF cotton
nrices. and he is the only one who
is safe.
"The right kind Of home garden
maintained all through the season and
given a square deal in the way OF cul'
tivation, is the greatest store-blll-cut-
ter on record. A quarter to half an
acre garden for the average family
! will cut the store bill in half

FARM PROSPERITY
IN GRAVE DANGER
Hastings Declares Greater Food Pro-
duction Essential To The MaIn-
tenance Of Agricultural
Prosperity

Atlanta, Ga.-(S2ecial.)-That there
Is a large element Of danger for
Southern farm prosperity in the pres
ent situation, is the firm belief of H.
G. Hastings, President of both the
Georgia State Chamber Of Commerce
and the Southeastern Fair Associa-
tion.
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 its real
cause.
aJust as soon as peace began to ap-
near probable last fall, there was a
distinct let-up in the planting of wheat
oats and other small grains. one
Georgia cotton farmer said to me, II
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 Tor
years to come.
can extra two or three million
hales 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 a 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 go back to our old before
the-war system of growing all cotton
and buying all food and grain, we Will
got another jolt like 1914 with rea'
sonable 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
ilv and livestock, then put every othei
available acre in cotton or other casn
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. =.
good and grain production sufn
cient for home needs, insures contln
ned farm prosperity. Dropping BACK
10 the old way means debt like a mill
stone around the farmers neck"

General Assembly Criticises
President for Stand on War
time Prohibition.
APPEAL TO CONGRESS
Columbus Divine Declares Wilson's At
titude Is Very Unbecoming for an
Elder In the Church and Man
Holding a High Office.

st. Louis, May 22.-Commissioner
to the 131st general assembly of the
Presbyterian church, u. S. A., ar
raigned President Wilson for request
ing congress to repeal or amend the
wartime prohibition act, and a resolu-
tion was adopted urging congress to
sustain the law. President Wilson Is
an elder in the church.
a copy of the resolution will be
cabled to the President. 1t follows:
This assembly learns with pain
that the President has recommended
to Congress that it repeal a part of
wartime prohibition act and in view
OF this fact we most earnestly petit
tion Congress that 1T not only retain
the measure but that 1t be enforced
to the fullest extent to the end that
the needs of the world for food may
be met and that the efficiency and
morale of our own people be pre-
served"
When the resolution was read COM
missioners applauded for several min
utes.
Rev. DIR. w. M. Kindman, Colum-
bus, o., declared: Such a stand Is
very. unbecoming for an elder in the
church and for a man holding so high
an office as that of president of the
United States"
B. K. p. Prugh, Harrisburg, Pa,
state chairman of the Prohibition or
ganization of Pennsylvania, asserted:
This is the second time President
Wilson has stepped in to befriend the
liquor interests and means the undo
ing of all that has been DONE"
Enforcement of wartime prohibition
was emphasized further in the report
of the temperance committee which re-
quested Congress to oppose all efforts
to rescind any part of wartime pro-
hibition
The report advocated world-prohibi-
tion. Brewers who carry their busi-
ness in foreign lands were denounced
and Congress was asked to disfran-
chise any citizen who carries on in a
foreign country a business illegal in
this country.
The committee deplored the use OF
cigarettes, especially by women, and
urged upon Presbyterians the personal
non use of them and the promotion of
all possible legislation against them.

OFFSET SEEN FOR LIQUOR TAX
Would Develop Industrial Alcohol Into
Revenue Source.

New York, May 22.-Commissione
OF Internal Revenue Daniel C. Roper,
through his deputy, B. G. Keith, has
made public a plan whereby the de-
velopment of the use of industrial al
cohol may be combined, he hopes, with
revenue collection, In such manner as
to offset to large extent the $780,
100000 loss in revenue, which appears
inevitable because of wartime prohibi-
tion. 1t was explained that, since the
treasury department looks to the reve.
nue. bureau for the collection of taxes
and at the same time for the national
enforcement of prohibition, it is the
belief of Mr.. Roper that enforcement,
on the one hand, and encouragement
Of legitimate nonbeverage production
and industrial uses, on the other can
be united to the profit of the country
and create source of taxes.

Germans are expected to present a

Marshal Foch is taking nothing for

of the Germans at Versailles. He has
