Delicate Children.
"My fourteen-year-old daughter was
■Very thin and delicate. She had a
Dad cough so that I became very much
alarmed about her health. She was
nervous and did not sleep well, had
"very little appetite and doctors did
not help her. Having heard so much
about Vinol, I decided to give it a
trial. It has helped her wonderfully.
She can sleep all night now without
roughing once; in fact, her cough Is
Tone. Her appetite is greatly im
proved and she has gained in weight.
Vinol is a wonderful medicine, and I

Says Dodson’s Liver Tone fs the Betfc
Remedy for Constipation and
Shirking Liver He Has
Kver Sold.
f
Every person who has tried Dod
son’s Liver Tone and knows how
surely and gently it starts the liver
to working and relieves biliousness
will bear out the Slaton Drug Com
pany in this statement about Dod
son’s Liver Tone:
*‘lt is a purely vegetable liquid
that entirely taken the place of calo
mel, harmless and pleasant to the
'saste r that has proven itself the most
satisfactory remedy for a slow-work
ing liver that most of our customers
have ever tried. A large bottle sells
for fifty cents and we tlo not hesitate
to give the money back to any per
son who tries a bottle on the strength
of this statemei t. and is not satisfied
with the result.”
In these days of doubtful medicines
and dangerous drugs, a statement
like kite above is a pleasant assur
ance that Dodson’s Liver Tone is a
reliable remedy tor both childre i
and grown-nps. In buying a bottle
for immediate or future use it is well
to make sure you are getting the
gemvine Dodson’s Liver Tone and
not some spurious imitation that lias

Hints to Poultry Raisers
Beginners make frequent mistakes
in breeding and handling fowls from
jacket experience; in fact, this is a
world erf mistakes, but if we can help
anyone to avoid some of them we
shall be glad. Of course, experience
is valuable teacher, but a pretty
expensive one usually. How many
beginners who want the best stock
do not kwow that there are so manv
difSemife grades of thoroughbred
stock, and that the fact of simply
purchasing thoroughbred stock does
not signify the quality. They get
hold of a poor grade of stock and
breed it for several years, perhaps,
before they are aware that it would
take item a long time to breed it up
to a high standard, no matter how
iiard you work. Better spend the
ame money for a smaller number of
fowls trf extra-good quality and start
right.

What Boys Have Done With Corn
The Men of Georgia Can Do
President Andrew M. Soule.
Fifty-nine boys of Chattooga county
averaged 47 bushels of corn to the
acre and S3O profit per acre. In Polk
county 27 boys averaged 62 bushels
per acre and $46.13 per acre profit.
In Tattnall county 21 boys averaged
$29 per acre. Floyd county boys av
erted $35.70 profit per acre. Whit
field boys $41.02 per acre. Paulding
$41.94 per acre. Cherokee $44.99,
Haralson $45.83, Pickens $36.72, Gil
mer 36, Decatur $35.37, Muscogee
$33.50, Carroll $39.44, Walker $66.39,
Meriwether $42.80, Bartow $34.89.
Thus the figures might be given for
a long list of counties. They are au
thentic figures, compiled with great
care.
If the boys can do so well, why
not the men? If greater profits are
to be made by extra care and fertiliz
er, why, then, not extra care and fer
tilizer? The secret of the boys’ suc
cess is that they have adopted mod
ern methods of seed selection, fertili
zation and cultivation. But it is no
UNSOUND FEED.
W. M. Burson, Professor Veterinary
Science.
Numerous reports have been receiv
ed from various parts of the state
of the death of horses and mules of
a disease known in some section
as “meningitis,” in others “blind
staggers’’ and in others as “stomach
staggers.” Symptoms usually re
ported are loss of appetite, dull
ness, sleepiness, blindness; in
many instances a staggering gait and
great bodily weakness, and in some
instances fits during which they rear,
plunge and struggle violently. Death
often occurs in from 24 to 48 hours.
These troubles are caused mostly
by poisonous molds such as may oc
cur on low pasture lands or hay fod
der and grain. The molds cause de
struction of nerve tissues and few
cases recover without early expert
medical attention.
Avoid trouble by closely watching
the feed supply, both grain and rough
age and provide fresh, clean water.
At the first sign of the disease call
a veterinarian. If none is to be had,
give salts or linseed , oil and large and
frequent doses of salt-peter. Cold, wet
packs applied to the head are some
times beneficial. Moldy feeds are
injurious to all kinds of live stock.

longer a secret. Any of these boys
can now give the receipt for success
ful growing of corn in Georgia.
These boys have been taught how
to produce big yields by scientific
agriculturists or “experts,” if you pre
fer the term. Those who may have
been prejudiced against scientific ag
riculture can no longer stand aloof
from the work of scientists, when
ire faces such results. Naturally the
College of Agriculture will point with
pride to the corn club results as one
of the demonstrations of Its useful
ness as an institution.
It is the purpose to enlarge corn
clubs and girls’ canning club work,
and thus light beacon fires of advanc
ed agriculture in every nook and cor
ner of Georgia. The United States
government, stands ready to supple
ment what the state does, and it
would seem the part of wisdom to
make sure of all the funds to be ob
tained from the government for such
an immensely practical work.
WHAT COTTON TO PLANT
IN WEEVIL TERRITORY.
R. J. H. DeLoach, Professor Cotton
Industry.
Query—What variety or varieties
are most resistant to the boll wee
vil?
No accepted conclusion has ever
been reached that there is a variety
resistant to the weevil.
The big boll, early fruiting varieties
are best, not because of early flower
ing, but because of the quickness in
maturing from flower to fruit. The
advantage of the short period from
flower to fruit is that the forage pe
riod of the weevil is thus reduced. It
eats only the cotton boll and lives
only six or seven months. By reduc
ing the forage period to the briefest
possible time, the greater the proba
bilities of starving the weevil.
The hot sun s rays kill the weevil
and the okra leaf variety has been
especially recommended because the
sun light penetrates the plant thor
ouglily. Rows planted north and
south, allowing the sun’s rays to fall
directly between, are an advantage for
this reason.
The College has completed the con
struction of poultry buildings, and is
now better equipped than ever to pre
sent this branch of work.

BROWN RENAMES
BACON SENATOR
Appointment Until Leg
islature Meets Allows
Solon to Keep Position
in Senate.
Governor Joseph M. Brown
has signed an executive order
naming Senator Augustus O.
Bacon as senator in Congress
to succeed himself from March
4 until the summer session of
the legislature, when Mr.
Bacon will be elected for an
other term of six years.
Although the governor
signed the order naming Sen
ator Bacon Tuesday, he will
date his commission Feb
ruary 12 —which is Gecr
gi i day.
The governor will do this as
a compliment to the senator
and a mark of his great respect
and high consideration as a
public servant.
Unless Senator Bacon were
named to succeed himself im
mediately, his committee as
signments would lapse, and he
would lose his number in the
senate, which is now very
near the top. In addition to
that, he would not be able to
participate in the special ses
sion of the senate, to be calhd
on March 5, to confirm the
new cabinet and other imme
diate executive appointments
to be made by President Wil
son. *
Senator Bacon has been
named in a primary to succeed
himself for a full term, but the
governor’s appointment to the
short term, which is volun
tary, is necessary to make his
service continuous and unin
terupted.
Senator Bacon is the only
man ever elected to the senate
in Georgia for a fourth term.

WORK BEGUN ON
1913 CORN SHOW
Is Will Be Managed By H. G. Hast
ings for the Atlanta Chamber
of Commerce.
Atlanta, Ga., (Special).—Plans are
already being outlined for this year's
Cprn Club contests in Georgia, and
fdN- th* holding of another big annual
show, such as that which took place
last year in the state capitol here.
The Atlanta Chamber of Commerce,
under whose auspices and direction
last year’s show was held, is already
planning to lend its aid again this
year. H. G. Hastings has Just been
re-appolnted chairman of the agricul
tural committee df the Chamber -of
Commerce, and In that capacity will
probably manage the Georgia Corn
Show for 1-913 just, as he did In 1912.
It was through the influence of Mr.
Hastings that the Chamber of Com
merce took up the Corn Show work,
on which it has already spent about
$9,000.
The good that lias already been ac
complished in Georgia by theße Corn
Club contests is almost past belief.
The production -of corn in Georgia has
been increased $30,000,000 during the
past five years; the corn cUs> boya
and their fathers as well have been
taught not only how to get big yields
to the acre, but how to farm in a busi
ness like way.
During the year Just- past, 69 Geor
gia boys made yields of over 100
bushels of corn to ihe acre. The three
high prizes winners last year were as
follows: Byron Bolton of Screven
county, 177.59 bushels, prize, fine
Percheron mare; C. E. Huffman of
Walker county, 170.62, prize, H. G.
Hastings scholarship in State College
of Agriculture; Thomas G. Payne of
Cherokee county.ls7 bushels, cash
prize.
