Mexicans Don't Fear
Growth of Bolshevism

MEXICO CITY, May 31.-Bolshe-
vism does not constitute menace
to Mexico, declared Antonio Diaz
Soto v Cana, socialist leader, in the
chamber of deputies last evening.
Senior Cana has long been recog-
nized as radical chief and has been
charged by political opponents in
the chamber with having planned
the invasion of the lower house Of
the Mexican congress by alleged Boil
sheviki two weeks ago.
Mexico is not prepared for Boil
shevism," he asserted, during the
course of an address. Its prole-
tartan classes, because Of their lack
of education, experience and general
worldly knowledge, are not in po-
sition to slpplant the present ruling
class. Bolshevism, however, is ripe
in England, France, Italy, even III
the United States. but Mexico must
wait for further development before
such ideals can come to fruition

to, Mr.. C1opton and you knew you
were lying at the time. We have
before us the resolution as passed in
regard to the Sapiro plan. 1t states
'Resolved; That the Geargia Farm
Bureau Federation cannot give it's
Endorsement to said Sapiro or Calf
fornia Cotton Marketing Plan" This
is the resolution, nothing has been
added to it or taken from it.
Glands Off" Policy
The Georgia Farm Bureau took
this action after it had held meet
ings in fifteen points in Georgia and
after it had heard from real dirt
farmers on the proposition. The real
dirt farmers say that they will have
nothing whatever to do with such a
plan. Probably you have found this
out by this time. However, you are
very versatile and if this don't work
you can jump to some other propo-
sition and push it for awhile as you
have done so many times in the past.
You know what the Sapiro plan is
and the farmers are rapidly learning
suit will be and you will soon find
out if you do not know now.
The farm bureau is an organlza-
ton with nothing to conceal from
any body, any time, anywhere. 1t in
vites the widest publicity and in
VeStlgatlOn. Its meetings are al
ways open. We only insist that
when the farm bureau is under dis
cussion by you that you confine
yourself to the truth. This you
certainly. did not do in your letter
to Mr.. Clopton.
The farm, bureau in Hall county Is
composed of two hundred of the best
farmers of Hall county. Its pro-
gram of work is constructive. 1t
proposes to do certain things for the
farmer that you have talked so
much but have never taken steps to
accomplish. I cannot afford to get
into a mud-slinging campaign with a
cheap politician like you. You have
spent four years in office, and all
that the farmers of Georgia ever
heard from you is villigication of
some one, cussing the government.
etc. Quit that and get busy and
do something.
Yours truly,
Hall County Farm Bureau.

to Commissioner Brown asking that
he cooperate with the farm bureau

President Kelley points out that
nearly a half million dollars annual
ly is expended by the department of
agriculture and that the people OF
the state have right to know where
their money goes.

a strictly economic platform" said
Mr.. Kelley" and it believes that
large amount of money is wasted in
the conduct of the department of
agriculture, which could be saved

Horse Eats Five Tons Per Year

On thirty .eight profitable farms
In 1919 the average horse ate in one
year 6,769 pounds of hay and 2,S04
pounds of grain. One farmer got his
horses through 'the winter on 3,125
pounds of hay but fed 4,776 pounds
of grain. One farmer fed only ITO
pounds of grain in one year but fed
1851 pounds of hay. The farmer
who fed the smallest amount of hay
per horse fed an exceptionally large
amount of grain. Many farmers
found that by roughing their horses
through the winter around a straw
stack and feeding very moderate
amount of grain the horses came
through in good condition. AS a gen
eral proposition, the farms which had
such distribution of labor that they
used each horse an average OF only
2.2 hours per day fed much less
Grain and hay than the farms which
used each horse an average of 3.s
hours per day, the latter, however,

Peanut Butter Rich in Protein
and Fat.

Peanut butter, many people think,
is good only for sandwish filling OF
for spreading on crackers and bread
1t can,however, be used in a number
Of dishes that are cheap, easy to
make, and very wholesome, accord,
ing to home economic specialists of
United States Department of Agri-
culture. Moreover these dishes have
the rich flavor of the peanut with
out the pastry texture of the butter.
Food experts have known for a
long time that peanuts were rich in
protein and fat, two things that the
body needs. Within the last few
wears these scientists have also learn
ed that there are many kinds of pro-
tein and that only those which sup
ply everything needed to make body
protein can be called perfect or COM
plete. These complete proteins are
found in eggs, milk, and meat. While
the protein of peanuts is not COM
plete within itself, it becomes SO
when combined with that of wheat.
For this reason peanuts and wheat
eaten together, even in a dessert,
reduce the amount of meat actually
needed.
Peanut butter, in spite of its name,
is Just finely ground peanuts to which
salt has been added, and particularly
when ground at home or bought in
bulk is one of the cheapest foods on
the market at present, considering
what it furnishes.
Peanut butter can easily be made
at home by putting through a good
grinder fresh roasted peanuts from
which the red skins have been re-
moved. Salt can generally be mixed
in more thoroughly if added to the
nuts before they are ground. The
machine should be adjusted to grind
as fine as possible. If the butter is
not fine enough after one grinding,
it may be put through the machine
a second time. Many stores are now
grounding peanut butter of excellent
quality on their own premises, and
there are also many good CONNER
,cial brands.-Farm and Ranch.
