Early Seeding of Small Grain Profitable

Earliness of seeding wheat and oats
has proven to be the most important
factor in securing large yields, in ex-
periments conducted for six years in
Athens, Georgia, says the Extension
Division of the Georgia State College
of Agriculture.
Oats seeded on October 18th gave
an average of 1915 bushels per acre
for the six year period, while those
seeded on November 18th averaged
only II bushels per acre for the same
period. This shows an increase in
yield of 1872 per cent in favor of the
early seeding.
A similar test with wheat for FIVE
year period shows that when seeded
on October 18th the average yield is
35.7 bushels while the November seed
ings have averaged only 1873 bushels,
or an increase of 169 bushels from
early seeding. Above Macon oats and
wheat should be sown at least by Oc-
tober 20, and further south by Novem-
Der 1st.

Says a glass Of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast

This excellent, con1mon-senSe
health measure being
adopted by millions.

Physicians the world over recon-
mend the inside bath, claiming this is
of vastly more Importance Than out

the blood, causing i'll health, while the
pores in the ten yards OF bowels do
Men and women are urged to drink
each morning, before breakfast &
glass of hot water with teaspoonful
of limestone phosphate in it, as a
harmless means of helping to wash
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the previous days indigestible
material, poisons, sour bile and toxins !;
thus cleansing, sweetening and puri-
fying the entire alimentary canal De
fore putting more food into the stom'

Just as soap and hot water cleanse
and freshen the skin, so hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the enm'

Those who wake up with bad breath

This will cost very little but Is sum

each morning are assured OF pro
nounced results, both IN regard &c
health and appearance.

Rye for seed purposes may be seed
ed slightly later with no decrease in
yield.
Land for grain should be broken at
once where possible and allowed to
stand until just before seeding time,
when it should be narrowed down
smooth. Where grain is to follow cot
ton the green stalks can be turned I'M
der, as soon as the cotton is picked,
the land rolled and grain seeded with
disk drill
An application of 100000 pounds of
acid phosphate at planting time and 100
pounds nitrate soda or 80 pounds sui
phate of ammonia about February IS
to March l will pay in most cases.
Among the best varieties of oats test
ed at the college are Appler, Fulghum,
Bancroft, Hundred Bushel and Texas
Rust Proof.
In the extreme northern part OF the
state Fulcaster wheat is one of the
best varieties but further south the
Blue Stem or Georgia Red will give
the best yields.

Sleeves to Be Feature
OF New Feminine Styles
Tight at Elbow, Then Flare to Rival
Skirt; Fuschia a Color Novelty.

uo$Auo q SOAOA ANSNSASJ'
CHICAGO.-Women will be inter-
ested in knowing that the sleeve is the
most important thing in the 1921 styles.
Sometimes they are tight at the elbow,
but at that point they begin to flare,
and at the bottom are nearly as wide
as the skirt Sometimes they are whole,
sometimes split, and the dips and cuffs
lresemblea pe1ican'S bill.
"a boat line neck and sleeves that
flow like a gentle river from shoulder
to wrist" is the description given by
Miss Esther Winkler, who is attend
ing the convention of the Fashion
League of America, which opened to-
day. More than three thousand de-
signers, modistes and buyers are here
from all parts of the country.
Fuschia is the newest color, although
black, relieved by barbaric touches OF
scarlet and jade, will have big fol-
lowing. New weaves in silk and rib
bon and the latest modes in gloves and
hosiery are attracting much attention.
Ribbon that has the effect of chantilly
lace is the newest thing in that line.
"B1ister brocade," soft silk with bis
terry figures raised on the surface, and
"drapella," a soft, clinging silk, and
chinchil1a satin" are three new ma
terials that are finding much favor
among the delegates.

TWO GEORGIANS
TO BE APPOINTED
OF COMMITTEE TO
CARRY OUT NEW AGRICUL-
TURAL CREDIT LAW.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-After a
conference here Friday between Sena-
tor Fletcher, of Florida; W. F. Coach
man, of Jacksonville, and members OF
the war finance corporation it was an
nounced that arrangements had been
perfected for giving the state of Flor
ida three members of the committee
and Georgia two for carrying out the
purposes of section "a of the new agri-
cultural credits law. The three Flori-
dams are w. c. Coachman, of Jack
sonville; T. L. Wilson, of Barlow, and
D. M. Lowrey, of Tallahassee. The
names of the Georgia members have
not yet been announced, but it is learn
ed that the chairman will be a promi-
nent Atlanta banker. The headquar-
tiers of this committee will be in At
lanta.
Under the law one billion dollars
will be loaned by the committee on
agricultural and livestock interests.
Senator Fletcher said that the naming
of three men from Florida and two
from Georgia on this committee with
headquarters in Atlanta would place
the people of that section i'll an excel
lent situation to secure part of this
government fund. 1t is possible that
even lower interest rate than s per
cent may be secured, six per cent of
this being charged by the war finance
corporation and two per cent by the
banks.

100000 WORKERS
NOW ON PAYROLLS

VEl NC POWER is $4,000.

u,,cuINGTON, d. C.-More than
Nn ooo workers now are on the pay

Oh u, l os the most optimistic factor

Seer yLo =" Situation and officials of the
ag . s,I are preparing data for a
depa, w. The secretary proposes to
Sa,9 orbIic soon a statement giving
MAKE ,.,Gt description of the labor factor
an 5 SiS Industrial and economic prob
n '' The statement, as outlined SO far
lem, .ha :" secretary, will include the es-
no Ted total number of industrial
arters the number employed and
VI, number without jobs. 1t is intend
I1 I.a show that the industrial situation
ca n W as bad as pictured. Only the
Is ~ factors so far are familiar to the
. nUr2 it is believed.
wv Nations Workers 100000.
According to preliminary estimates
Il. number of persons who may be
' .Iln.,;fed as industrial workers now is
.hnYt fifteen million. Of these approx
:uotsIv 100000 were without regular
l nmnioy,nent at the last canvass of in
Jr.trial conditions made by the depart
m uus, This, however, makes clear that
of least 100000 persons have work
Of some kind.
labor department officials say that
- considering the total number re-
norted as unemployed it should be re-
pmYsmbered that in normal times be-
tween ,,y 100000 and 100000 are con-
FINALLY without jobs. Taking the lat
fer proportion as being more in keep
ing with the large increase in the ma
toms population since 1910 it is seen
that unemployment now may be said
reaIly to envelop 100000.
The department has no intention OF
irving to minimize the seriousness of
HE situation. With more than 3,000,-
900 unemployed the nation faces a sit
nation that is admittedly bad. But the
purpose is to spike the guns of pro-
|feSOnal peSS1mlSts, who are contln-
uanv sounding a note of national dis
management.
The attitude of Secretary Davis,
Secretary Hoover and other officials is
that with wage scales beginning to
reach a point near sterilization the
country now is ready to go ahead on
the road to prosperity and to look to
winter of increased production.
Wages Now IS Per Cent Lower.
Wages now are at level about IS
per cent lower than year ago. A sur
yey OF the payro1ls of more than 800
concerns, just concluded by the de-
partment, reveals, according to this
survey, the average monthly earning
power of the industrial worker is $94.
A year ago the average was Sill. De-
spite the reduction the national pay
roll each month puts nearly $1,000
100000 into the pocketbook of the
worker

IF. SKIN BREAKS OUT
BURNS AND ITCHES
APPLY THIS SULPHUR

Just the moment you apply
Mentho-Sulphur to an itching, burn
ing or broken out skin, the itching
stops and healing begins, says a
noted skin specialist. This sulphur
preparation, made into a pleasant
cold cream, gives such quick re-
lief, even to fiery eczema, that moth
ing has ever been found to take its
place.
Because of its germ destroying pro-
perties, it quickly subdues the itch
ing, cools the irritation and heals
the eczema right up, leaving clear,
smooth skin in place of ugly erup-
tons, rash, pimples or roughness.
@You do not have to wait for i'm
provement. 1t quickly shows. You
can get a little jar of Mentho-Sul'
phpr at any drug store.
