The Best LaxatWe.
To keep the bowels regular
the best laxative is outdoor exer
cises. Drink a full glass of water
halt an hour before breakfast
and eat an abundance of fruft
and vegetables, also establish a
regular habit and be sure that
your bowels move once every
day. When a medicine is need
ed take Chamberlain,s Tablets.
They are pleasant to take and
mild and gentle in effect. Ob
tainable everywhere.

EQUAL RATES TO ALL
NO MORE SPECIAL FAVORS
Out of 2,000 shipping towns in Georgia about 6o enjoy the special privilege of “basing point rates.” That is, rates lower
than to other nearby or intermediate points. The proposed freight rate readjustment in Georgia, set for a hearing before the
Railroad Commission of Georgia on August 17th, seeks to correct this.
It has already been largely dene throughout Georgia, with respect to rates from points in other States, and the interstate
“basing point” system has been abolished in accordance with the Act to Regulate Commerce under the orders of the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
A few examples will show to what extent the hundreds of smaller po : nts in Georgia have been already benefited and how
the readjustment in Georgia, when completed, will work for the benefit of the whole State by equalizing the opportunity of
all towns, large and small, for doing business.
MADISON, BREMEN, RICHLAND and OCILLA are four widely separated Georgia towns representing different
sections of the State. Similar illustrations can be made by.th ; hundreds. These four towns suffice to illustrate the striking
changes already brought about in this interstate rate readjustment, shown in the table below:

THE IlAItftOADS OF GEORGIA
Getting High Yields - 1
From Cotton Crop
How a Good Variety And Modern
Methods Of Cultivation Panned
Out In The Field
(JOHN R. FAIN, Professor Agronomy,
State College Of Agriculture.)
Four acreB of cotton grown on the
demonstration field of the Georgia
State College of Agriculture, yielded
revenue as follows: Lint at 12 cents,
8282.48; seed for planting at |2.00,
2121.50; seed to oil mill at 244.50,
240.60; Total 2444.58, or a return per
acre of 2111-14.
The majority of the cotton grown
was College Number 1, a selection
made a few years ago from the Sun
beam cotton. This cotton has proven
resistant to anthracnose, has outyieid-
ed the original Sunbeam and is Bome-
what earlier.
The important lessons from this
demonstration are, the value of good
seed from u good variety that has been
bred up by proper methods to a fixed
typo and reliable behavior, the value
of a well prepared seed bed and the
economy of frequent and shallow cul
tivation by which the moisture of the
soil is conserved, the roots spared
from being torn from their feeding
places by the deep furrowing plow or
dinarily used, and the completer sup
pression of weeds.
I’he lesson that can be applied now,
when the crop is growing, is that with
reference to frequent and shallow cul
tivation.
Peach Orchard Acreage
Increases In Georgia
Marked Increase In Number Of Pcacl
Trees Set Out During Period
Of Twelve Months
(H. T. McHATTON, Prof. Horticul
ture, Ga. State Col. Of Agr.)
Information received from various
parts of the state makes It conserva
tive to say that more than 1,000,000
new trees have been added the peach
orchard acreage of the state of Geor
gia during the planting season of 191G
and early 1916. This means that there
are something like 10,000 more ucieu
devoted to peach culture in the state.
Quite a decided increase in the acre
age has taken place In the Fort Val
ley region. Northeast Georgia has
added materially to its acreage. North
west Georgia has planted many trees,
while os far south as Thomasville
peach trees have been planted on rath
er a broad scale, considering that
they are planted somewhat as a new
crop for that region.
The success of crops of recent years,
and the success with which diseases
affecting the peach have been combat
ted, has tended to place peach culture
on a more attractive basis than for
several years.

Rid Kens office and Miles
(Wm. 8. DILTS, Poultry Department,
Ga State College Of Agriculture.)
Eacli year the profits of the farmer
and poultryman are clipped by the at
tacks of these parasites. Hens infest
ed with lice will not lay as many eggs
as those kept free from them. Young
chicks will not grow ns fast and often
die from attacks of these parasites.
The sitting hen should be dusted_at
least three times during the hutch
with a good insect powder. You can
make the following powder at home;
Take 3 parts of gusoltne and 1 part
of 90-96 per cent crude carbolic acid or
the same amount of cresol or zeno-
leum. Mix well, then stir in enough
plaster of parts to. take up the mois
ture, making a dry powder. Keep the
powder in a closed can for use.
The lice bide in the fluff feathers
round the vent, in under the wings,
on the top of the head, and on the
thigh feathers. Apply the powder
particularly well in these parts, see
ing that it penetrates well. Provide
the hens with u wallow of fine dust
and they will try to rid themselves of
the lice.
Mites work on the fowls at night,
hiding in clusters In cracks and crev
ices, on the perches and In the nests
during the day. They suck the blood
of the birds they are on during the
night, and, when full, have a red color.
At other times they are a yellowish-
white color.
You can rid your houses of mites
by thoroughly cleaning the house and
spraying all parts with 1 part of crude
carbolic acid or a good coal-tar disin
fectant to forty or fifty parts of water.
A kerosene emulsion may be used if
used more often. One part of keroseno
to fifteen to twenty parts of water will
be effective. Be sure to cover the nest,
roOBts and cracks In the wall well with
this spray, as it must come in cuutact
with Ihe mites to be effective.
