Showing the farmer “how”
Editor Atlanta Constitution ,
Atlanta , Oa.
Editor Constitution: During the past
three months 1 have traveled over the
states of South Carolina and Georgia,
Interviewing ninny of the he-d and most
prominent farmers. I find that they
are hauling their cotton from the gins
to their homes and there storing same
something I never saw before. Tlii
condition is brought about on account
of the extremely low price of cotton,
attributed mainly because of the war in
Europe and to a lesser extent by rea
son of a “bumper” crop.
These farmers seem interested .and
express a willingness to produce other
commodities. All of the larger railway
systems in this part of the country, and.
In feet, throughout the south, have com
petent and efficient industrial represen
ts fives in the field, assisting and show
ing the farmers “how” to diversify their
crops oml put them on a better pay
ing bnsis.
In south Georgia (Colquitt county) 1
visited Some clover and alfalfa fields
as fine ns anyone would wish to see,
planted under the direction of one of
the industrial agents referred to above.
Many of the farmers are beginning t<>
realize that there is an unlimited and
never-ending market for fresh meats,
and are branching out into cattle an 1
liog raising. Slaughter pens and packin''
houses have been cstnt i;lted at conven
ient centers. The city council of At

And For Three Summer* Mrs. Vin
cent Was Unab’e to Attend to
Any of Her Housework.
Pleasant Hill, N. C.-“I suffered for
three summers,” writes Mrs. Walter
Vincent, of this town, “and the third and
last time, was my worst
1 had dreadful nervous headaches and
prostration, and was scarcely able to
walk about Could not do any of my
housework.
1 also had dreadful pains in my back
and sides and when one of those weak,
sinking spells would come on me, 1
would have to give up and lie down,
until it wore off.
I was certainly in a dreadful state of

“One of the most inspiring develop
ments- of the prevalent cotton crisis in
the south is the manner in which south
ern railroad* and general transporta
tion agencies are multiplying agencies
already active, to the end of encourag
ing the fanner to diversify, to reduce
cotton acreage and, in larger terms to
aid the south in finding a way out of
ihe problem that confronts it. An il
lustration is found in a communication,
published elsewhere, from 1. M. Cox,
industrial agent of the Southern Ex
press company. To Mr. Cox’s propa
ganda is traceable the growth and ship
ment, now proceeding, of 80,000 crates
of beans, tomatoes, cucumbers and po
tatoes from that rich section of Geor
gia around Cornelia, Mount Airy anil
Tallulah Park. The Southern Express
company is helping the growers find a
ma.ket for all this truck. This is con
- motive work of the most practieal
tvpe. It is upon such efforts, founded
primarily upon reduction of cotton
reage, that the state and the south
mils: depend for a solution of the un
precedented difficulties of this year and
next year.
Mr Cox further shows what The
Constitution Ins ahvay contended, and
t is that the United States parcel

Cardui makes for increased strength,
improves the appetite, tones up the ner

Cardui has helped more than a million

It will surely do for you, what it has
