Mr. L. R. Farmer, Louisville, Ca., says:
that he has used no other hulls but Buckeye for the past
year and gets good results. Cows have not been both

To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the hulls
thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. Uis easy to do this by
wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time
this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to
feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls.

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
Conserve Life By
Conserving Food
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia
State College of Agriculture.
During the coming year, and per
haps for several years, the United
States will be called upon to supply
the food requirements of her allies
as well as her own civilian popula
tion. Above all it is imperative that
the armies have sufficient supplies,
even though the folks at home suffer
hunger. Only by each person doing
his share can the war be brought to
a successful conclusion. The soldier
boys do their part in fighting a ruth
less foe; your part is to produce and
conserve the food supplies. Your duty
is:
1. To grow staple fruit, garden and
farm crops. Let new and untried crops
alone.
2. To organize community farm la
bor so as to utilize farm machinery to
the best advantage. A traction en
gine in a community should be kept
busy. Business men should club to
gether to furnish machinery to farm
ers who cannot afford to purchase at
present.
3. To assist the Demonstration and
Canning Club Agents in their work.
Every family should can or evaporate
sufficient vegetables and fruits for
their own needs. In addition a hand
some profit may be derived from the
surplus.
4. Each community should take
stock of its resources and require
ments. Strive to make your commun
ity independent. Organize a local de
fense league.
Chicken Makes
Remarkable Record
What is believed to he a World’s
Record has been made by a Barred
Plymouth Rock pullet hatched January
Ist. This pullet began laying April
25th, 3 months and 25 days after
hatching. Another pullet began lay
ing at 4 months of age. These birds
were bred, hatched and fed to lay at
the Poultry Division of the Georgia
State College of Agriculture.
Future Prosperity and
Diversification of Crops
Georgia stands second in the pro
duction of cotton. She can hold her
place in the total value of farm crops
if her people profit by the opportune
lties she offers. Though her planters
may suffer temporary loss by diversi
fication they will more than balance
the account in the increased produc
tion of dairy products, beef and pork,
poultry, peanuts, velvet beans, pota
toes, fruits, vegetables and cereals.
Evaporated Fruits
and Vegetables
Miss Lois Dowdle, Assistant State Su
pervisor Home Economics.
The can shortage this year threat
ens to be acute, large manufacturers
claiming a shortage of 100,000,000. Un
der ordinary circumstances it would
be possible for a family to can snf
cient fruits and vegetables for their
own use, thus liberating the supply
from the packers for shipment to the
allies. Home canning now seems to
be out of the question and the prob
lem is how to best preserve foods for
winter use. The solution is the home
evaporator. All kinds of vegetables, in
cluding potatoes, beans, corn, peas,
pumpkin and the more delicate root
crops may be dried, in which condi
tion this material will keep indefinite
ly. Evaporated vegetables and fruits,
when properly prepared, are more pal
atable and nutritious than canned
goods. In addition there is the lower
cost of preparation and the ease of
storing over winter. A home evapora
tor may be made by any one who
knows how to handld carpenter tools
and at a very low first cost. Plans
for construction and directions for
evaporation may be had from your
Canning Club Agent. Make it a point
to see her at once.
Fearful Destruction of Property
J. B. Berry, Professor of Forestry, Ga.
State College of Agriculture.
Every year there is a loss to the
state of between one and two millions
of dollars as a result of forest fires,
three-quarters of which are the re
sult of carelessness and could be
easily prevented. Over half the fires
were started with the object of im
proving grazing conditions, and yet
the best information available proves
conclusively that annual surface fires
decrease the grazing capacity of the
range, since the valuable grasses are
totally destroyed and only the mote
worthless grasses and weeds develop.
About thirty per cent of the fires orig
inated in the clearing of farm land,
running beyond control because start
ed at the wrong season of the year,
or because no preventative precautions
were takn either in the breaking of a
fire line or in arranging for a force
of fire’ fighters. If these fires could
have been eliminated the people of
the state would be over a million dol
lars richer in standing timber, lumber,
cross-ties, fences, mills and farm
buildings. Never use fire with the ob
ject of improving the range, never
bum over brushland during the dry
seaaon ; always provide fire lines and
"watchers” when necessary to use fire

LOOK AT YOUR TONGUE!
IS IT BROAD, WHITE, FLABBY?
—YOUR BLOOD NEEDS ZIRON!
When Your Tongue Is White and Flabby, It Is a Sign
That You Are Anemic and That Your Blood
Needs Ziron Iron Tonic, For the Benefit
of Your Weakened System.
Look at your tongue in the mirror!
It ought to be pointed, pink, dean and firm.
If it is broad, white, coated, flabby, it is probably a sign that you ara
anemic, that your blood lacks red corpuscles, that you are not in good health,
that your system needs iron to bring it up to proper condition.
When your blood needs iron, take Ziron, the new' Iron Tonic, which con
tains also the hypophosphites of lime and soda and other valuable tonic ingre
dients prescribed by the best physicians for this form of trouble.

of being “under the weather”, why not try Ziron to help you back to health?
Ziron, the new compound of Iron, contains no habit-forming drugs. It Is
a safe, reliable tonic remedy—good for men, women and children.
Mr. R. L. Poston, of Lillie, La., writes: “Some w'eeks ago I was suffering
with something like dumb chills. I just ached all over, my skill would fee!
clammy. I ached worse from my knees down. I didn’t rest well nights, and
my appetite wasn’t good. I wap afraid I would get down in bed and so much
to do in the Spring of the year. I began to look around for something
to help me and decided to try Ziron...l had not taken one third of a bottle
until I felt much Tetter. I grew stronger, began to get, hungry and did not
have any more of the chills. I think Ziron is a splendid tonic.”
