nervousness and sleeplessness,
and I was weak, too,” says

and her condition was much
better.
"We have lived hero, near
Jennings, for 26 years, and now
we have our own home in town.
I have had to work pretty hard,
as this country wasn’t built up,
and it made it hard for us.

women of Cardui—the medicine
that helped give me the strength
to go on and do my work.”

CENTRAL OF GEORGIA TEST PAS
TURE MEETING
On Thursday morning, August 23rd.
about 150 farmers and business men met
on the Central of Georgia Test Pasture
at T. L. Roberts’ place, six miles west
of Carrollton. Threats of rain, and
rain later, no doubt, kept many away
who would have otherwise been pres
ent.
The crowd was conducted first down
by the field which was in bur clover in
the winter. Mr. Roberts had planted
corn with Otootan so.v beaus in the
corn rows and n row of beans between
the corn rows. These were growing
fne and acid phosphate was the only
fertilizer used.
And next we walked over to the low
lands where carpet grass had formed
a solid carpet on the low wet lands.
The preparation for this carpet grass
consisted of clearing nway the trees
md underbrush and sowing tire seed
broadcast over the top of the soil in
March, 1921. Of course it is necessary
to keep the sprouts cut out from time
time. Mr. Roberts stated that hr
had 20 cows in his pasture and that
they had remained on this four acres of
carpet grass most of the time. Carpet
grass enn be grazed from the begin
ning, and the closer it is grazed the bet-
The same applies to Dallas grass,
These are our two lending low-lnnd pas
ture grasses.
The crowd then followed over across
the hill to a field of about six acres
well started in Kudzu 1 . The oldest of
tliis was planted during March a year
ago. and wns covering the ground.
This Imd not been grazed.
At the end of this trip through the
fields a heavy rain hurried the crowd
over to a near-bv church to hear pas
tures discussed by the pasture men pres
ent. Talks on pastures and how to get
them started were made by Mr. A. C.
Appleton, of the Georgia State College
of Agriculture, J. F. Bazemoro and L.
B. Jackson, of Agricultural Department
of Central of Georgia Railway Com
pany and several other local men.
In the main our pasture work does
not consist in increasing our patsurc
acreage, lint in making the ncres wr
have better, thereby converting our ex
ercising pens into real pastures, and it
does not require a great deal of money
in,I labor to do this.—C. B. Ingram
County Agent.

very much nt home.
Every day we had our breakfast hour,
chnpel hour and lectures. Then wo had
dinner followed by judging work out
in the barns mid fields. Then follow

the best in judging work. The prizes
were as follows: First prize $3.00

cows over there and, suy, we saw some
electric milking machines doing the
milking. This was a wonderful thing

joyed while in Athens we went up town
to a picture show, had a street car
ride over to.wn and went to Sunday

These are only some of the tilings

City-Workers’ Dollar Worth
58 Cents. Why? High Tariff
Fifty-eight pre-war cents was the
value of the city worker’s dollar in
July, 1923, according to a computation
liusud oil tlic rise in the cost of living
between 1913 and this year. The pres
cut wortli of the city worker's dollar,
it is declared, is 1 cent below that for
•Tilly, 1922. Tlic Republican profiteers’
tnriff was enacted in September, 1922.
Tlio cost of living for the worker as
well as for the farmer lias been mount
ing daring the lust year, while their in
come from their labor mid their prod
ucts has either decreased or remained
stationary.
These workers and farmers represent
something like 40,000,000 of the totnl
population. For the most part these
millions of people are consumors of the
manufactures—clothing, furniture, linril-
wure, implements, tools, drugs, medi
cines, etc.,—which have been “pro
tected” by the exliorbitaut, rates of the
Republican profiteers’ tariff.

Clothing 75 Per Cent
Higher Than in 1913
Investigations made by the Depart
ment of Labor show that the present
prices of clothing are about 75 per
cent above those prevailing i;/ 1913.
Tlie expenditure of the average family
for clothing in 1923, it is stated, will
he about. 2 per cent more than it was
in 1922. There wns a considerabel in
crease in 1922 over 1921.
There were advances in the prices of
woolens and worsteds for men’s and
women’s clothing last spring and ad
ditional increases are to be made in
these fabrics for next autumn and next
spring. The high “protection” voted
to the Wool Trust by the last Republi
can Congress is being gradually but
surely added to- the cost of clothing.

Feeding Wheat and Rye to
Hoga, But No Profit in Hogs
Farmers in Southern Michigan are
feeding their wheat to their hogs be
cause the price of the grain is too low
to justify their selling it and buying
corn for feed, according to a dispatch
to the New ork Tribune (Rep.)
“Almost no rye will be marketed,”
continues the dispatch. “This grain,
at the present price of 40 cents n bush
el, is the cheapest feed to be found for
hogs and nearly the entire crop will be
disposed of in this manner.”
The hogs which are onting these sta
pie grains are not likely to bring a price
that will repay the farmer for their
feed when they shall have been sent to
market. But the consumer will con
tinue to pay a big price for fresh and
cured pork, it is forecast.
