FOR JACKSON PEOPLE The Statement of Jackson Residents are Surely More Reliable Than Those of Utter Strangers _ Home testimony is r<-al proof. Public statements of Jackson people carry real weight. VVliat a friend or neighbor says com pels respect. The word of one whose home is far away invites your doubts. Here’s a Jackson man’s statement. And it’s for Jackson people’s benefit. Such evidence is convincing. That’s the kind of proof that backs Doan’s Kidney Pills. I. H. Miller, Pastor of Presbyterian church, Mulberry st., Jackson, says: "1 was almost down with my back and suffered severely, especially in the morning. I had other syrnptons of kidney trouble. I used Doan’s Kidney Pills and they relieved the pains in my back and the other symptoms of kid ney trouble w r ent away. I usually keep Doan’s Kidney Pills on hand and when my kidneys annoy me, they nev er fail to give relief.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t sim piy ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Miller had. Foster Milburn Cos., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. adv.

Renting Committee Jackson, Georgia WHAT AN ACRE OF PIEDMONT SOILCAN DO Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia State College Of Agriculture. An acre of Cecil clay soil typical of the Piedmont region of Georgia, which was quite poor a few years ago, but is in process of being built up, illus trates fairly what can be accomplish ed by any farmer on an equal quality of soil. This acre is located on the College farm. Fertilizer running 10 — 3 —3 has been used on the land at the rate of about 300 pounds an acre per crop. It is a soil of only fair fer tility and is taken on that account. This acre was planted to cabbage and Irish potatoes. About 5,000 cab bage plants were set out, but, of course, some of them failed to bead. A smaller area was used for the pota toes. The cabbage crop was sold re tail and wholesale, and brought in gross receipts of S4O. The Irish pota toes were sold at $1 per bushel and brought in $15.00. After the cabbage and the potatoes had been removed the acre was plant ed to corn. During the roasting-ear period, $20.00 of ears were sold from the area and the remainder of the ears were left to mature, yielding 40 bushels of corn. In addition, a ton and a half of corn stover were gather ed from the acre, which is being fed to the stock. After the corn crop was harvested oats were sown. Thus it will be seen that $75 in actual cash was received from sales from the acre, and that enough corn and stover was obtained, in addition to more than cover all the expense, so that the $75 may be considered a net profit. Many truckers have done and can do better than this with an acre of land. But this represents more nearly what is possible for the average farmer who wants to diversify his activities and especially who wants to give intensive cultivation to some small area for the production of home supplies along with a salable money crop of the same sort. Let us con centrate our energy on smaller areas of land, fertilize, cultivate and handle to better advantage and so build them up as to enable the production of fair average crops of a variety of things which the market demands and the land owner needs for the proper sus tenance of his own family. Many Women Need Help Women are as much inclined to kidney trouble as men are, but too often 'make the mistake of thinking that a certain amount of pain and tor ture is their lot and cannot be avoided. Foley Kidney Pills give quick relief from backache, pains iu sides and mus cles, stiff, sore, aching joints, and blad der ailments. The Owl Pharmacy, ad.

Brown, Cashier Having always the good of our people at heart and being of a harmo nious spirit, we heartily Join in the half holiday movement and extend GOOD WILL TO ALL A substitute tor Cotton Seed Meal Milton P. Jarnagin, Professor Animal Husbandry, Ga. College Of Agri. With cotton seed meal selling around S4O per ton, it becomes a very expensive concentrate for fattening beef animals this year. Corn is being sold in Georgia from 65 to 75 cents per bushel. With corn as high as SI.OO per bushel, it can be profitably fed within proper limits in the ration. Therefore, corn can very well take the place of a part of the cotton seed meal while present prices hold. Com has 66.8 per cent digestible carbohy drates and 4.3 per cent fat, while cot ton seed meal contains 21.4 per cent digestible carbohydrates and 9.6 per cent of fat. Corn is more effective in finishing cattle for the market, and at present prices has quite an advan tage over cotton seed meal. Those Georgia farmers who have started into the feeding of beef cattle and have been depending upon cotton seed meal as the chief concentrate should look about them and see if they cannot buy Georgia corn at a price that will make it justifiable to supplant in part cotton seed meal with corn. In this connection, it will be perti nent to say that 25 per cent of the feed of the dairy herd at the College is now corn cob meal, that is, ear corn all ground into a meal. Card of Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Stephens wish to extend thanks to the neighbors and friends, also the many friends of Worthville, for their kindness and expressions of sympathy during the illness and death of their little daughter, Ethel. May God’s richest bless ing reward each act of kindness shown us. Save Time and Money!
