«Mr. and Mrs. Farmer:
Dear Friends: At this season allow me to express to you through this paper my
deep appreciation of your splendid co-operation and the patronage you have extended
me the past year. I have received many, many warm letters from my Farmer
Friends, telling me they were still wearing and making this year’s crop in the old
reliable Carhartt Overalls.
Many of these faithful wearers of Carhartt’s have reminded me of the fall of
1914, when the clouds were so awful dark and there was absolutely no sale for their
cotton and the fact that I took from them their cotton and allowed them 10 cents a
pound for it. I was glad to show my appreciation of their patronage in this way.
Thousands have written for a copy of my Farm, Stock and
"“I Account Book like I use on my own farm. One farmer wrote:
% "I would not take $lO for mv Farm, Stock and Account Book if I
• knew I could not get another.”
Aw|T Please write me for a copy at either address given below and
• • I will gladly mail you free of charge.
A I | C A great many of my Farmer Friends are writing in complaining
about not being able to buy Carhartt’s at their stores, and saying
fn A a great many merchants, owing to the extreme high costs of all
* materials, are side-tracking Carhartt’s for a cheaper line of overalls
)|*SO Ql —-and I know they are telling the truth.
I • I can truthfully say I have not cut off one inch of the cloth
CLiTI that goes into Carhartt’s, neither have I cheapened the construction
garments. The very best that money can buy goes into

Don’t be misled or misguided bv those that would deceive you
into accepting something “just as gobd.”
if your dealer won’t supply you with Carhartt’s, write me,

WHY WE ARE ASKED TO SAVE
WHEAT.
Many of our people are at a loss to
understand why the saving of wheat is
regarded as so essential at the present
time. A review of the situation exist
ing in this country and in Europe will
probably help to clarity the situation.
Previous to the outbreak of the war.
the export of wheat from the United
States to France. Italy, Great Britain
and Belgium amounted to about 79,427,-
d>9*bushels. These same countries im
ported from Canada about 112,900,000
oushels. To meet their requirements
they also imported from other countries
an average of about 185.478.000 bushels.
These four countries now constituting
our allies imported about 380,804,000
bushels of wheat before the outbreak
of thq present conflict. The average
production of wheat in the countries
enumerated above runs about 590.675,000
bushels. According to the best authori
ties available they will not produce this
year more than 393,770,000 bushels.
When we add this to the total shown
above, we find that the imports .required
to maintain normal consumption in the
four countries mentioned will this year
reach the staggering total of 577,709.-
000 bushels of wheat. If the 140,000.000
people in the four countries mentioned
are to be supplied with *bread. there
fore. the vast amount of wheat men
tioned must be secured from some
source and delivered to their civilian
population and fighting armies with
’ome desre of regularity. Failing to
secure these supplies of wheat the
righting efficiency of these countries will
be minimised or crushed out altogether.
In case any of them should fail, an ad
ditional burden will naturally be cast
upon our country. Hence, every citizen
of the Uinted States is intersted in see
ing that the allied countries obtain in
so far as possible the amount of wheat
indicated above.
It is for this reason that the United
States food administration is asking
people to make sacrifices in the matter
of using white flour and to co- operate
with It in the saving of bread. From
the point of view indicated above, this
becomes a thoroughly patriotic and es-

sential service and every one who takes
a part in it becomes as true a sololer
as tnose who serve in other capacities.
These facts and figures have been pre
sented in that order the seriousness of
tYre situation may be better sensed and
appreciated by many of our people who
are thoroughly loyal and patriotic in all
respects but have not been able to quite
grasp the point of view of the food
administration, and hence have won
dered It they were being asked to make I
an unnecessary sacrifice or if there was
not an undue amount of being in
dulged in wjth reference to the wheat ,
situation. Those who have given one 1
moment’s consideration to economic prob- .
lems and to the crisis which we now
face will realize at/,once the staggering
import of these figures and will gladly
lend their assistance to the food a z d- |
ministration in endeavoring to see that ■
a part of the wheat essential for the j
maintenance of -our allies on an effec- I
tive lighting basis is provided from ■
America.
What can be none in order to provide '
the wheat supplies now needed? A re- !
view of the situation indicates that the j
surplus zof wheat in various countries j
from the 1817 crop amounted for the :
United States to about 80.000,000 bush
els a/id for Canadan to 150,000,000 bush
els. The total North American supplies,
therefore, available for export do not
aggregate more than 230,000.000 bush
els, which is much less than half of the
amount required by our allies. It is
true that there is some wheat in Aus
tralia. Probably, considering the sur
plus of last j ear’s crop and the new
crop, as much as bushels.
There is also some surplus in India,
probably 50,000,000 bushels, from last
years Crop and 70.000,000 from this
year’s crop. Argentina promises to have
a surplus for flxport beginning some
time in January of about 180.000,000
bushels. These sources taken together
represent an available wheat supply of
540.000,000 bushels. Taken with that
available in the United States it would
appear that the problem was easily
solved. Under normal conditions this
would be true, but now that the subma
■ir.c menace has attained its present pro
portions. it is practically impossible to
count on securing any wheat from Aus
tralia or India and only a small amount
rem Argentina. Figures carefully pre
pared by our own people show that the
chances of destruction of a ship load of
wheat from Australia to England are
four times greater than from New York
o Halifax or Liverpool or other Briwsh
ports. It also takes four times as long,
and. tflerefor#, requires four times aa
much shipping as would be necessary to
transport the same amount of wheat
across the Atlantic. In other words,
four ship loads of wheat can be sent>
from New York to England while one,
is going from Australia, provided it is
not destroyed by übmarines. It is pos
sible to control and protect the Atlantic
sea lane to a considerable extent from
the depredations of buccaneering pirates,
but It is almost impossible to protect
the sea lanes from Australia and India.
The haul from Argentina is very much
longer, requiring a large number of
ships and a much greater length of
time with increased danger to cargoes
from submarine attack.
Thus the situation narrows dowti
largely to what America can do to help
supply the population of our allies
with wheat. We have 230,000,000 bush
els available as things now stand. If
we u r, ll have a wMeatless day every
week and a wheatless meal eac hday in
the week in the United States and Can
ada, w r e can set free for export at least
100,000.000 to 200,000.000 bushels of
wheat, raising the total avail
able for export to 350,000,000 to 450.-
000,fiOO bushels. If we do this the
civilian population of the allied coun
tries must still use bread substitutes
♦o a large extent or go hungry. The
world’s shipping has been so reduced
by the depredations of the submarines

that it is quite impossible to count on
getting any considerable amount of
wheat from Australia. India or Argen
tina. What must we do to make this
great national contribution to the needs
of the people who have been fighting
for us? Not to go without a substitute
for wheat flour, but rather to eat one
pound less a week and onq pound of
corn meal Instead. In America we con
sume on an average of about five loaves
of bread per week per capita, or five
pounds of w’heat flour. If we eat in
the future four pounds of wheat flour
and one pound of corn meal we will
have solved this question which is one
of the most, pressing and difficult which
now confronts not only ’he govern
ment of this nation but of the nations
who are fighting with us for the subju
gation of Germany. We are asked to
do such a little thing that some of us
may overlook its importance. The so
lution of th's problem seems so com
paratively simple that it may not ap
peal to many with the force which its
importance justifies. Let us always re
member in this connection, however,
that it is the little things done by the
millions that count for the most in the
world. To make available the essen
tial supplies of wheat, therefore, we are
asked to virtually sacrifice nothing, but
to substitute one of the most desirable
foodstuffs n the world to a limited ex
tent for another one. AX e have a su
perabundance of corn. Let us utilize
this highly nourishing cereal as a sub
stitute for wheat, and so in the words
of the good old Scotch woman, all “do
our bit” towards winning the war
against autocracy and making the world
a safe place in the future for democra
'v and civilization. Remember that
Germany is now eating war bread. It
is better to eat ours now than Ger
many’s later.
WHAT TO DO WITH PEANU-TS.
B. X., Pearson, Ga.. writes: I have
about five or six hundred bushels of pea
nuts plowed up and properly stacked and
intended to pick them with a i>eanut picker.
Would youXadvise selling them to an oil
mill or seedsman?
The manner of disposing Jf your pea
nut crop should be determined by the
results you can obtain from a financial
point of view We imagine that you
could secure a very good price for them
from the oil mills because they would
yield 70 to 90 gallons or oil of a supe
rior quality. Many oil mills are in po
sition to handle peanuts to advantage.
Th s is true of mills located in sections
where this crop is grown to a consid
erable extent, but it takes a slight ad
justment of the machinery to grind pea
nuts in a mill which Is already equipped
to crush cotton seed.
It is possible that I may be mistaken
iff that you think it is more important
to save these peanuts for seed than to
sell them to an oil mill. Naturally the
seed question will be a live isigue next
spring and if you have a superior grade
of /nuts which may do well in your
community and can be commended for
cultivation, on that account It is desir
able that they be saved and sold for
seed. You might retail them yourself If
you do a little advertising, or possibly
you can sell them to advantage to a
seedsman In your community. Good
seed should bring a fairly satisfactory
premium. There is little use in going
to the expense and labor of planting un
less one is In position to use good seed.
FERTILIZING VALUE OF VELVET
BEANS. /
I’. I). R., Colquitt, Ga., writes: I de
sire to know if velvet benns in the hull
ground Ito a fine meal is a good fertiliser
and what is the analysis?
.Velvet beans, when ground in the
hull into a fine meal, contain about 56.8
pounds of nitrogen per ton. 16 pounds of
phosphoric acid and 34.4 pounds of pot
ash. They contain about the same
amount of potash, therefore, as a ton
of a good grade of cottonseed meal,
about one-third as much phosphoric
acid, and a little less than half as much
nitrogen. If one could buy It ordinar
ily at about half the price of cottonseed
meal it could be used for fertililng pur
poses within the limits indicated above.
Os course, It seems very unfortunate
that velvet beans be ground and used as
fertilizer without first being fed, as
they could be consumed with advantage
tmd profit by most classes of farm
stock. We have made no definite experi
ments to test the fertilizing value of
velvet beans, but would not think this
necessary because beans being an
organic material will readily and quite
quickly decay in the soil and there is
every reason to suppose that practical
ly ail the plant food contained therein
will become sufficiently ‘quickly avail
able to meet the requirements of the
average crop grown in Georgia.
FEEDING A' HEAVY MILKING COW.
W. A. W., Tliomaavllle, Ga., writes: i
Mould like to know how to prepare a good
i ration for a Jersey cow when such feed
as bran, shorts, cottonseed meal, oats and
peavine hay are available. How would
such a mixture compare with silage and
cottonseed meal? About how much meal
should be fed with twenty pounds of silage?
Is velvet bean valuable for a milch cow,
and with what should it be fed?
Silage, of course, makes an ideal
roughage to use with a dairy cow. The
! one-cow man, however, cannot dften
■ use it because of the difficulty of stor
ing and curing it satlsfatcorlly. When
* one is without silage, grass substitutes
should be relied on as much as possible.
> In your section of the state grazing
' should be provided for the winter sea
| son. Rye, oats or barley will answer
fairly well for this purpose. Rye will
probably grow freely and yield the larg
est amount of grazing.
When feeding 20 to 30 pounds of
silage to a dairy cow we would not give
over 3 to 4 pounds of cottonseed meah
if this was to constitute the cencentrate
ration for any considerable period of
time. In feeding the amount of cotton
seed meal indicated you should bear in
mind that you are providing protein
equivalent to that contained in about 12
pounds of wheat bran.
We consider velvet bean meal a good
food for dairy cows. It Is not so rich
as cottonseed meal and, therefore, some
what more should be fed. A good way |
to feed velvet bean meal is to scatter
it over silage and mix thoroughly |
through It. In the absence of silage you
may feed any form of dry roughage
such as peavine hay, good shredded corn
fodder, sorghum forage or mixed hay
will provide. We cut all of our corn
stalks and shred them. We then mois-,
ten them with water containing a little
brine and allow to stand a few hours.
This softens, them up and adds much to
their palatability. The grain is then
scattered over the softened feed, which
is eaten with relish. In the manner In
dicated you can provide an abundance
of cheap roughage and feed your concen
trates, which cost a good deal, with
greater economy and advantage.
CAUSE OF A COW DRYING UP.
1.. F. »., I-exington, S. C„ write*: I
have a cow that was fresh six months ago.
She seemed to be in perfect health and
gave a plentiful supply of milk until last
week. She went dry In four days and did
not give a bit of milk. Her feed was .
cottonseed meal, shucks and nubbins. She
also grazed in pasture. Can you tell me
the cause and what will bring her back to
milk?
Cows sometimes get off feed and !t
takes some time to bring them back to
a normal condition. Probably your cow |
over ate. The ration you are giving her!
Is all right if fed in proper proportion.
The chances are that she consumed more
cottonseed meal than she could digest ■
and handle to advantage and thus upset [
he r digestion. In order to keep a cow in
a good vigorous condition it Is also de- '
sirable that some green feed be provided. 1
If your pastures are in good condition b
she should have obtained plenty from
this source. If it has been dry in your
part of South Carolina as it has been
in this part of Georgia the pastures af
ford very little succulent food and It
would be good practice under such con
ditions to cut a few stalks of corn or I
sorghum or any other green food avail
able. This adds to the variety and
palatability of the roughage part of the '
ration.
If your cow does not seein to have j
recovered her normfll condition I sug-;
gest that you give her a good dose of .
Epsom salts as a drench. Use 1.5 pounds
for this purpose. Then feed her the
following digestive tonic for a few days.
Sulphate of iron, 2 ounces; nitrate of
potash (salt peter). 2 ounces: gentian
root (pulverized), 2 ounces; nux vom
ica seed (pulverized). 1 ounce; ginger
root (pulverized), 1 ounce. These are
to be thoroughly pulverized an<| mixed
and a heaping teaspoonful of the mixture
given In the food three times dally. In
case your cow will not eat the powder
omit the gentian root and add linseed
meal.
Do not give over 3 to 4 pounds ol
cottonseed meal per 1,000 pounds o
live weight. Cut the shucks and othe
roughage up, moisten slightly with
water containing a little salt and allow
to stand a few hours before feeding
This should add greatly, to their palate,
billty. Milk regularly and give a
abundance of water.
DANGER OF WEEVIL DAMAGE IN
1918.
M. K. S., AutreyvUle. Ga,. writes: I
have three hundred acres of land in culti
vation. Planted it in corn, velvet beans and
ground peas but no cotton. There was no cot
ton nearer than a half mile to my fields.
I have no stalks to plow ynder, but they
were plowed under deeb last year. Wovl<!
you advise my trying cotton in 1918? What
advantage will it be having no cotton this
year?
The fact that you planted no cottor
on your farm last year and that nom
was grown in some distance of it wouh,
be of some slight advantage In fighting
the weevil, but this would not insure
your farm against serious invasion anC
great damage to your cotton crop-an
other year. Os course, you are in a sec
tion of the state where the weevil ha:
done a considerable amount of damag'
and where it is apparently yuell estab
lished. and, therefore, likely to increase
in numbers and the extent of damage
effected unless the most active suppres
sive measures are taken by the farmers.
These, of course, consist in following
out the instruction which we have issued
from the college from time to time and
which you are no doubt familiar with
You should be able to grow some cotton
on your farm to some advantage an
other year by securing an early variety
which is as nearly wilt resistant as pos
sible. A well selected strain of Coving
ton Toole should answer well for this
purpose. We should advise yout not to
plant too large an area.
You should remember that as soon as
the cotton is out of the ground It should
be chopped and forced to a stand as
early as possible. You must be pre
pared to pick the weevils when they first
appear on the bolls of the.young plants
and to pick off the squares as they are
damaged. A persistent fight along this
line should enable you. with an early
maturing variety of cotton, planted early
on a good rich land and fertilized so as
to force it to a quick maturity, to grow
a reasonable amount of cotton to ad
vantage in 1918. Growing cotton under
boll weevil conditions is somewhat of i
an art. ’fit requires the Institution of a
different farm practice that previously
followed. One should, therefore, limit I
the area cultivated to some extent until ■
one becomes familiar with the weevil
and his habits and the best method of
fighting it successfully. It takes more
labor and It costs more to produce cot- |
ton under the boll weevil conditions |
than before It appears. The average;
man makes the mistake of trying to
handle too much land In cotton. A part |
of your farm devoted to peanuts and ■
other crops would pay you as well as ;
cotton, therefore divide your crops and
nsure against too great a loss of any j
'■ne direction.

Grind Clean Cornmeal with
a Meadows Mill 1
m HpHE man with a Meadows mill gets clean i
f A cornmeal, clean from weevil, glass, grit, I
silk, chaff, and the even more objectionable dirt that
almost all corn is at first mixed with. .
The separating of trash of all kinds from the cornmeal is
I practically perfect, because of an invention that is used only i ■
on Meadows mill—the only patented weevil spout on the
market. The spout consists of two screens built into a main
frame, which, while vibrating rapidly, receives the com from
the hopper. Nothing larger than shelled corn can pass through
the top screen. That* takes care of broken cobs, silk, and
I husks. The com cannot pass through the bottom screen, but ®
weevil and the fine dust they make, weed seeds, sand and all 1 *
dirt smaller than com, can and do pass through. The com
goes to the hard flint burrs—clean. I
For grinding com, wheat, or buckwheat; on the farm, or ■
as a business; buy a Meadow* mill. Drive it with a Mogul
kerosene engine, and you have an outfit of the very highest
quality, that will do work at the least expense for power
and repairs. We will send you full information about both
these machines. Let us hear from you. <■
