New Bulletin on Small Grains
The Agricultural Extension Ser
vice of the University of Georgia has
issued this month a bulletin entitled
Small Grains, and prepared by E.
D. Alexander, Extension Agronomist
and Paul Tabor, professor of Agron
omy and Field Crops.
This bulletin is the most practical
and up to date discussion of the sub
ject I have seen. I have a few copies
on hand for distribution and will bt
glad to let you have one as long as
they last. And I suppose we can se
cure additional copies if wanted. The
bulletin is especially timely in view
of the necessary reduction in cotton
Why Doctors Favor
a Liquid Laxative
A doctor will tell you that the care
less choice of laxatives is a common
cause of chronic constipation.
Any hospital offers evidence of the
harm done by harsh laxatives that
drain the system, weaken the bowel
muscles, and even affect the liver
and kidneys.
Fortunately, the public is fast
returning to laxatives in liquid form.
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can thus be
controlled. It forms no habit; you
needn’t take a “double dose” a day
or two later.
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin has
the average person's bowels regular
as clockwork in a few weeks’ time.
Why not try it? Some pill or tablet
may be more convenient to carry.
But there is little “convenience” in
any cathartic which is taken so
frequently, you must carry it with
you, wherever you go!
• Its very taste tells you Dr. Cald
well’s Syrup Pepsin is wholesome. A
delightful taste, and delightful action.

children. All druggists, ready for
use, in big bottles. Member N. R. A.

acreage and the increasing impor
tance of our home production of
food and feed.
I think there is already planted a
larger acreage of oats and wheat
than usual. If additional oats are to
be planted this should be done at
once, and if you have not already
planted a good acreage of oats I
believe it will pay to plant more
even though the best time for plant
■ ing this crop has passed.
In view of the certainty that wheat,
products will be higher the coming
i year it is all important that a good
acreage of wheat should be planter
this fall on good ground, and there
is yet time to do this.
Comparatively little rye and barley
r.re planted in the county, and yet
these are both good grains, rye for
the poorer lands and barley for the
more fertile soils. Why not try one
or both of these this fall? It is not
too late for good results with either
of them.
You will find in the bulletin in
formation about the time of seeding,
the varieties to use, fertilization,
seed treatment and a comparison of
the value cf the grains for different
use, and much else that will be in
teresting and useful.
Go On Sowing Peas
It is getting late for sowing crim
son clover but if you have not yet
sown a seed patch I should advise
getting some of the clean commercial
seed and sowing at least a small area.
There is still time to sow many
acres in the Austrian peas and very
few of us have enough winter le
gumes planted. Try to get all the
land that is to go into corn sown in
some winter cover crop to be turned
under early. This is the practical
way to grow corn in this country.

Honorable Mention
In spite of the severe drought last
summer that wiped out the most of
the young carrots three farmers in
the county are now ready to sell
carrots and the prices are good. They
are getting about one cent apiece
for the carrots. At present they are
selling on the local markets but we
may have to carry some elsewhere.

MR. N. B. PETTIGREW
IS TAKEN BY DEATH
Following a long illness, Mr.
Newton Brownlee Pettigrew, 29
years of age, died Sunday night at
11:30 at the home of his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Pettigrew, near
Jackson. He had been in declining
health for several years and during
that time had undergone treatment
at some of the leading hospitals of
the country.
Mr. Pettigrew was born and grew
to manhood in Butts county and at
tended the Jackson public schools.
Until his health failed he was en
gaged in a business career, being
an accountant of recognized ability.
For some time he was connected with
business enterprises in Florida, but
for the past few years had made his
home here. He was a young man of
splendid character and business abil
ity and scores of friends are sadden
ed at his passing. He was a son of
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Pettigrew, prom
inent and beloved residents of the
county. Mr. Pettigrew was a mem
ber of Mt. Vernon church.
Funeral services were held Tues
day morning at 11 o’clock at Mt.
Vernon church, with Dr. C. C. Heard,
oi. Locust Grove, as officiating min
ister. Relatives and friends express
ed their love by beautiful floral of
ferings. The pallbearers were Swans
Yancey, Frank Freeman, Pitts Clark,
Wade Hammond, Charles Brownlee
and Newt Brownlee. Interment was
in the family lot in the church ceme
tery.
Mr. Pettigrew is survived by his
wife, formerly Miss .Lois McClure;
a son, Brownlee, Jr. and a daughter,
Gloria; his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
J. E. Petigrew; three brothers, Mr.
W . J. Pettigrew, of Washington, N.
C.; Messrs. J. O. and L. C. Pettigrew,
of Jackson; two sisters, Mrs. V. W.
Fretwell and Miss Ermine Petiigrew,
of Jackson.
CHIROPRACTIC A FAILURE?
The science of chiropractic has had
to prove itself superior to other
methods of treatment—rather than
equaling them. Old paralytics, rheu
matics, the halt, the maimed, the
blind, in other words, have been its
clientele for the most part, and with
these cases called and proven hope
less by other methods it has grown
to a great profession almost in a
decade.
But nevertheless it has failed—
failed in educating the masses to the
advisability and need of a periodic
spinal examination. Did every one
have a spinal examination and nerve
checkup annually the success of chi
ropractic would be advanced five
hundred per cent.
Children need spinal examination
and an occasional adjustment. Chiro
practic needs anew clientele —a
clientele not out of beds and wheel
chairs —but off the school ground,
the golf course, the shop, the facto
ry. Given these, chiropractic will
show how to get acute conditions
of headache, neuritis, stoop shoul
ders, minor digestive disorders, etc.,
well in a jiffy and more than that
can keep them from re-occurring or
in fact from occurring at all..
Have your spine examined.

PRUNING GRAPE VINES
IMPORTANT FALL JOB
GEORGIA EXPERIMENT STATION
SAYS BEST TIME TO PRUNE
IS FROM NOVEMBER 15 TO DE
CEMBER FIFTEENTH
Because of the past and present
popularity of the Scuppernong varie
ty of grape, all the Muscadine grapes
are often referred to as Scupper
nongs or Black Scuppernongs. In
reality, however, the Scuppernong
is only a white variety belonging to
the Muscadine type, of which there
are white, russet, purple and black
varieties. Scuppernong and Thomas,
a reddish purple grape, are among
the better old varieties. New varie
ties developed at the Georgia Experi
ment Station that are rated as a dis
tinct improvement are the Hunt, a
sweet black grape, and Stuckey, an
amber or russet colored grape slight
ly darker and larger than the Scup
pernong and much sweeter. One male
vine to ten bearing vines will furnish
sufficient pollination.
Most of the door yard plantings
of Muscadine grapes have been train
ed to the overhead arbor system.
This method sacrifices amount and
quality of fruit in favor of a shady
retreat and ease of maintenance.
Larger plantings seem to be going in
at present and even with a few vines
the 2-wire trellis system of training
similar to the kind used for bunch
grapes is giving excellent results. The
vines should be twenty feet apart in
the row with a post between each
vine and the rows about 15 feet
apart; wide enough so that the prun
ings can be raked out to the end of
the row with a hay rake and burned
or used to fill gullies. With the 2-
wire trellis the lower wire should be
IV2 or 2 feet high and the top wire
? to C feet high. Canes should run
in each direction along these wires
until they meet those of the adjoin
ing vine. This is considered the per
manent framework of the vine.
There is a great deal of misunder
standing to the effect that any prun
ing at all will kill a scuppernong
vine. This is not the case and as bas
ed upon experiences in pruning at
the wrong time of the year or in the
wrong manner. The time to prune
Muscadine grape vines is a few day3
after the first light frost and the
leaves have partially shed, which is
usually around November 15th. No
pruning should be done after De
cember 15th. These are arbitrary
dates but in general include the pe
riod 4 during which these vines can be
pruned without bleeding. Earlier or
later pruning will cause bleeding in
the spring and serious damage.
After the vine is established upon
the trellis the annual pruning con
sists merely of cutting back all cur
rent seasons growth to stubs of two
or three buds each. In the spring
growth will begin from these buds
and ample fruiting will take place
Do not cut the arms which remain
from year to year since cutting the
large arms is apt to cause bleeding.
This method of pruning from year to
year promotes heavy yields of qual
ity fruit.
MRS. METTA B. BARTLETT
PASSED AWAY SATUSOAY
The death of Mrs. Metta B. Bart
lett, 51 years of age, occurred at her
home in Pepperton Saturday morning
at 11 o’clock, death resulting from a
complication of diseases and follow
ing an illness of some time.
Mrs. Bartlett was a lifelong resi
dent of Butts county, having been
born and reared near Indian Springs.
She was a daughter of the late Mr.
and Mrs. John C. Williamson, former
esteemed residents of the county.
She had been a resident of Pepperton
for about thirty-five years and was
esteemed for her many fine qualities
of character. Friends join with the
relatives in deploring the loss of this
estimable woman.
Mrs. Bartlett is survived by one
daughter, Mrs. Tommie Bullard, of
Jackson; two sons, B. L. and Hugh
lon Stephens; two sisters, Mrs. Luth
er Turner and Mrs. Addie Tyner;
three brothers, 11. D., T. B. and R.
N. Williamson, all of Pepperton.
Funeral services were held Sunday
afternoon at 2 o’clock at the Pep
perton church, with many friends
gathering for a final tribute, and the
floral offerings attested the love in
which she was held. Rev. L. L. Min
ton and Rev. Sam Britt conducted
the services and interment was in
the Pepperton Cemetery.
