Atlanta. Ga.--(Special.l- items o.
thousands OF farmers in the South
VIII face the problem of making cot
ton under heavy weevil inSstation
sor the first time in 1920. Their sue
cess or failure under these new con
ditions will be absolutely dependent
on the degree that there is food grain
and forage produced on their farms
this year." said II. G. Hastings, presi
dent OF both the Georgia Chamber OF
Commerce and the Southeastern Fair
"A few weeks ago the newspapers
carried the report that an Alabama
county was preparing to erect 0
monument to the boil weevil, besause
OF the good the weevil had done them
IN forcing them out of the Affection
poverty producing rut, into the pros
perity that always follows a diversity
OF crops and the production on home
acres of every pound possible of food
grain and forage Supplies needed by
the family and Ii stock.
Our good people here in the South
have never. until very recently, taken
the home or family vegetable garden
seriously as a source of food supply.
1t has been looked on strictly as a
side issue. something of little impor'
lance, something to be attended to the
last thing on the place. The home
garden, rightly handled, can be made
TO produce half the food needed by
the family and practically without
money cost.
The average lick and promise sort

ed. That kind of garden will keep
its owners table well supplied with
an abundance of healthful food seven
or eight months in the year. as well
as furnishing an abundance of canned
and dried vegetables for winter use.
Every mess of vegetables direct
from garden to table. every can or jar
OF home canned vegetables from clos.
ct shelves, makes a hole In that store
bill that is always terror when set
Ting time comes.
Good home gardens have been real
life savers to thousands Of southern
farmers who have gone flat broke
trying TO meet store bills. A good
garden will cut the store bill until its
size is negligible. Give the garden a
fair chance and square deal in 1920
and the result will be agreeably sur
prising."

feeds. The fines imposed by the
courts ranged from $40 and costs to
$500 and costs. In some instances,
adulterated foods which had been
seized by the government because
they were filthy and decomposed were
ordered destroyed by the courts. In
other instances, where only part of
the seized shipment was spoiled, the
courts ordered the sale Of the good

adulterated food.
The products upon which the larger
number Of actions were based, were
spoiled eggs, decomposed tomato prod
ucts, milk which was contaminated or
watered, spoiled powdered milk, auui-
terated condensed milk, stock feeds,
including cottonseed meal containing
