DRINK SIX GLASSES
OF WATER DAILY
An Interesting Statement by One of
the Big Men In the Drug Business
fffffffffff
A. E. KIESLiNG
of Houston, Texas, says:
“If you have a muddy complexion
and dull eyes, you are constipated. Six
glasses of water daily and one or two
Ilexall Orderlies at night will correct
this condition and make you ‘fit as a
fiddle.’ Rexall Orderlies, in my opinion,
are the best laxative to be had, and can
be taken by men, women or children.’’

WHAT CATARRH IS
It has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapor? do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in Scott’s Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and a building-tonic, free
fromalcoholor any harmful drugs. Try it.

HOW MUCH IS
MADE ON A FARM?
J. Phil Campbell, Director Extension
Division College Of Agriculture.
At a recent conference of county
agents in farm demonstration work
held at the College of Agriculture, in
struction was given each agent as to
how to figure profits of a farm. This
information, in turn, is to be imparted
to Georgia farmers. Blank forms for
collecting the necessary data is pro-'
vided each agent. Of course, it is not
expected that a county agent can at
once become an expert in dispatching
this kind of business, but it is the be
ginning of what it is hoped will result
in a business system for every farm
in Georgia.
Without knowing where the leaks
are, farming is a haphazard, if not an
unprofitable, business. Proper account
ing should show every cent of profit
and loss of every crop, or animal, or
any transaction on the farm.
The College of Agriculture, through
its farm management workers, and by
the aid of the county agents, can do a
great deal toward setting farmers upon
the right road to the most profitable
farming. If the information asked for
is supplied, then they will be able to
figure out where profits are made and
where losses. Farmers in the state
who are approached for farm manage
ment information ought to welcome
the opportunity to give it, since it will
mean information that will probably
put them in the way of prosecuting
their work along the most profitable
lines.

Of all of the above only five stand
out prominently as being suited to
boll weevil conditions. Early matur
ing cotton Is required. These five are
College No. 1, Trice, Cleveland Big
8011, Hooper’s and Caldwell’s. All of
these made more than a bale of cot
ton per acre during the first two pick
ings, or by the end of five months after
planting, the period generally allotted
for making cotton under boll weevil
conditions. Other varieties that prom
ise well for boll weevil conditions for
the same reasons, are the following,
which come close after the first five
mentioned : Sunbeam, Meadows,
Brown’s No. 2, Bramlett’s Brown No.

VALUE OF A TRAINED
AGRICULTURIST
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia
State College Of Agriculture
Statistics show that the earning ca
pacity of every man the university
is increased by about S2O a day for
every day of the four years he is or
dinarily in college, or to the extent
of $24,000 for his life-earning period.
These figures are based on public
school training providing a life-earn
ing ability of $32,000, high school
training $48,000 and University train
ing $72,000.
Georgia has invested half a million
dollars in higher education in agricul
ture, and, according to these figures,
is destined to secure from graduates
and post-graduates alone $1,920,000;
from short course men, based on one
twelfth the return from college course,
$3,472,000, or a grand total of $5,392-
000.
No line of human activity is more
likely to give returns equivalent to
these figurea than agriculture, the
leant underatood, appreciated or sci
entifically correlated of our vocations.
In fact, what inveatment can a state
hope to make which will pay so large
a dividend as the training of her youth
to participate with efficiency in her
basic agricultural industries?
Thus, the formations for initial lead
ership have been established, for Geor
gia has been fortunate in returning
within her own borders practically ev
ery man who lias ever attended a
course at the College of Agriculture,
and the great majority of the small
but loyal and efficient body of alumni
are now working for the state ia some
capacity.
