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.’’ We have the exclusive selling rights for this great laxative.

H. Ogletree, Chr. J. D. Jones, Sec. 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. Scott & Bowne, Bloomfield. N. J. 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. The Cotton Varieties That Show The Best Yields Loy E. Raat, Department Cotton Indus try, Georgia College of Agrioulture.

These five are College No. 1, Trice, Cleveland Big 8011, Hooper’s and Caldwell’s.

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.
