The storing of late vegetables Is
often profitable for those who grow
them in sufficient quantities for mar

benefit OF the winter price. To care
for the surplus vegetables In many
cases requires nothing more than the
use OF existing facilities In or near

NIGHT RIDERS OF COTTON BELT
CREATE REIGN OF TERRORISM

Atlanta, Oct.-The night riding
campaign to force the closing of the
cotton ginneries until the price of the
staple, advances to 40 cents a pound
has assumed such proportions that
the economic life of this section is
gravely menaced.
In the Atlanta district, which in
cludes the States of Georgia, Alaba-
ma, South Carolina and Florida, the
night riders have posted notices on
scores Of ginneries warning the own
ers that no cotton must be ginned
until the price reaches 40 cents.
In some countries the night riders
not only have posted the ginneries,
but also have posted the cotton fields
with notices that no cotton must be
picked.
Large mercantile establishments al
SO have been ordered to close their
doors until the price Of cotton ad-
vances.
The result Of the nightriding tao
tics has been to create q sort of ter
rorism which is interfering greatly
with the orderly process of business
and which threatens, unless speedi-
ly checked, to create widespread
economic decentralization.
The posting of cotton fields has
had an especially terrifying effect on
the negroes who believe 1t means a
revisit of the ku klux khan of re-
construction days.
The belief of the negroes Is
strengthened by the fact that the old
ku klux khan has been reorganized
and regularly chartered under the
laws of Georgia and has numerous
lodges in this and other States.
The khan however, has nothing to
do with the nightriding campaign,
being purely fraternal organization.
The negroes do not credit this. and
they lay the posting of the cotton
gins and fields to the khan. In some
sections 1t is said to be impossible to
get negro to enter cotton field
that has been posted by the nightrid-
ers.

arrested yesterday on charges

when arraigned today and were
bound over to await action of the
grand jury.
Seven of the men are said to have
admitted they had written letters to
cotton gin operators and had posted
placards on gins threatening to burn
the gin and kill the watchmen unless
the gins suspended operations until
cotton prices reached 40 cents per
pound.

Use OF Vinegar Reduces Vegetable
Canning Losses.

A little vinegar added to beans.
corn. peas. asparagus or spinach
when canned by the water-bath meth
cd. will add materially in the re-
duction OF loss by spoilage. More
over. the time of processing these
vegetables may be somewhat reduced
when-a sufficient amount Of acid is
used. the Home Economies Kitchen
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture reports after two years Of
experimental work on the subject.
In certain sections OF the country
In 1919 and 1920 canned sweet corn
did not keep well. whether processed
continuously or Internationally. In
the Home Economics Kitchen quart
cans of corn processed for less than
hours continuously spoiled. while
Others canned at the same time. with
the addition OF 4 tablespoons OF vine
gar to quart. did not spoil either
year. although given only hours
processing. II only 3 tablespoons OF
vinegar are used, process hours;
2 or 8 tablespoons OF lemon Juice to
a quart gave equally good results
when processed hours. Corn should
always be boiling hot when packed
into the jar
With spinach and string beans the
addition OF 2 tablespoons Of the acid
proved equally effective in reducing
spoiiage. Vinegar or lemon juice In
the small amounts used modifies to
some degree the natural flavor Of the
vegetable. but the acid taste is not
Objectionable TO most persons. More
over, much OF the acid taste can be
washed off before the vegetables are
served. Experiments with vinegar
and other acids in canning vegetables
win be- continued In the kitchen next
year.

In addition to the grain and the
table scraps given backyard flock It
is well to feed a dry mash. This dry
mash is composed OF various ground
grains and is placed in a mash hop
per or, box from which the hens can
help themselves. The advantage OF
feeding such a mash is that the hens
always have access to feed, and this
tends to make up for any faulty, in
experienced, or insufficient feeding
The hens do not like the dry mash
so well that they are likely to overeat,
but II will supply source OF feed in
case they are not getting enough grain
feed. The dry mash also provides a
suitable medium for feeding beef
scrap, a certain amount of which may
or may not be necessary, depending
upon the amount OF meat scraps avail
able in the table waste. II hens show
a tendency to become overfat II may
be desirable to close the mash hop
per during a part of the day and al
low them access to 1t only during a
certain period. preferably the after
noon.
A good dry mash recommended by
poultry specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture, is
composed of equal parts by weight
OF corn meal, wheat, bran, wheat mid
dlings and beef scrap. Another mash
is composed Of parts by weight OF
corn meal and l part beef scrap.
Still a third mash, which has given
excellent results, is composed OF 1
pound of wheat bran. l pound OF
wheat middlings, GA pounds Of beef
scrap. and 16.5 pounds of corn meal
The beef scrap used in the dry mash
is usually the most expensive ingre-
dent, but IL is an essential part of the
mash and very efficient for egg pro-
duction9 IL should not be eliminated
or reduced unless the quantity OF
meat In the table scraps is considera-
BILE or unless some other product can
be substituted for IL. Fish scrap,
when available, may replace the beef
scrap. or cottonseed meal can be used
10 replace onehalf of the beef scrap
In the mash. No attempt should be
made to replace more than half the |
beef scrap with cottonseed meal, as
he quality of the eggs will be unsat-
he quality of the eggs will me unsat-
sfactory.
Green-cut bone can often be pur-
chased from the butcher This ma
erial when procured fresh makes an
excellent substitute for beef scrap.
L should be purchased in small guam
tiles, as it can not be kept fresh for
my length OF time and when spoil
ID may cause severe bowel trouble.
I is best fed in a trough not oftener
han every other day. allowing about
'ne-half ounce per bird. Should Sc
ere or continued looseness OF the
towels follow the feeding of green
ut bone It should be discontinued or

exacted IN order that the conditions
imposed should be fulfilled.

One of the most terrible tragedies
In the history Of the human race Is
being enacted within the broad belt Of
territory lying between the Baltic and
the Black Sea and Adriatic Seas.
This area includes the new Baltic
states-Poland, Czecho Slovakia, the
Ukraine, Austria. Hungary, Roumania,
Montenegro, Albania and Serbia.
The reports which come to us make
1t clear that in these war-ravaged
lands civilization has broken down.
Disease, bereavment and suffering are
present in practically every household,
while food and clothing are insufficient
to make life tolerable.
Men, women and children are dying
by thousands, and over vast once
civilized areas there are to be found
neither medicinal appliances nor med
ical skill sufficient to cope with the
devastating plaques.
Wholesale starvation Is threatened
In Poland this summer unless she can
procure food supplies in large quanti-
ties. There are now approximately
100000 cases of typhus in Poland and
In the area occupied by Polish troops.
Worst Typhus Epidemic In History.
This is already one of the worst
typhus epidemics in the worlds his
tory. = In Galicia whole towns are
crippled and business suspended. In
some districts there is but one doctor
to each 1EO,0 people. ... en-
In the Ukraine, we were told, typhus
and influenza have affected most Of
the population.
A report from Vienna, dated Feb
ruary IL, said: There are nations for
three weeks. Death stalks through
the streets of Vienna and takes un-

Budapest, according to our informa-
ton, is one vast city Of misery and
suffering. The number of deaths is
double that of births. OF the 100000
children in the schools, 100000 are
dependent on public charity. There
are 10000 workers idle.
Typhus and smallpox have invaded
the four countries composing Czecho-
Slovakia, and there is lack Of medi-
cines, soap and physicians.
In Serbia typhus has broken out
again and there are but 200 physicians
to minister to the needs Of that entire
country.

ming short, there are but five physi-
clans for a population of 100000.

ordinary undertaking. Tns American
people trust you to see that It Is done
right"
l also would say to the commission:
Use SO much OF this money as Is
needed"
Personally, I am confident that with
the assistance and cooperation which
would come from other parts of the
world the sum OF $500. 000, 900 from the
United States would be more than
enough to start these countries On
their way to self support and the
restoration of normal conditions.
The whole plan, Of course Involves
many practical considerations, the
most serious of which is that Of OBJ
tanning the money, WHIT gher by iss sing
additional liberty bonds, an increase
la the floating debt or by taxation.
But think we could properly say ito
the treasury department:
I'VE know how serious your finan.
cfal problems are; we know the d'ffi-
culties which are Immediately con-
fronting you; we know the Importance
Of deflation, and we know that the gov
eminent must economic and that In
dividuals must economize but We also
know that the American government
advanced $4,000, O0e, 600 to its allies
to attain victory and peace. Certainly
1t Is worth making the additional ad-
vance in order to realize the peace for
which we have already struggled, for
nothing is more certain than that un.
I'll normal conditions are restored In
Europe there can be no peace"
Above all things, I would say that
whatever action is taken should be
taken Immediately. The crisis is 80
acute that the situation does not ad-
nit Of delay, except with the possibili-
ty of consequences one hardly dares
contemplate.
The situation that have spread out
Eere Is far beyond the scope Of indivi
dual charity. Only by the action Of
governments, our own and the others
whose resources enable them to COOP
crate. can aid be given in sufficient
volume. / am also confident that our
action would be followed by the gov
ernments of Great Britain, of Holland,
Of the Scandinavian countries, Of
Spain and Japan, and that France and
Belgium and Italy notwithstanding all
Of their loses. would help to the best
Of their ability.
