It would surprise the merchants
of Mt. Vernon, or any other town

the size of the volume of money

Veterinarians Needed
For Georgia Livestock
Industry Worth $100,000,000 Requires
Protection
Andrew M. 80ULE, President Geor
gia State College Os Agriculture
The aggregate of our live stock In
terests Is not generally appreciated for
the animals now owned on Georgia |
farms are easily worth $100,000,000. i
\ In 1910 the state was credited in the :
federal census with owning about S7B,- .
. 000,000 worth of live stock. Within a
I period of six years, therefore, there
I has been an increase In the value of
; live stock of approximately $22,000,000,
and this in the face of the fact that
the shipment of a very considerable
number of mules to Europe on ac
count of the war conditions prevailing
there has tended to reduce not only
the number but the value of our ani
mals as well. At the present time
there are only about fifty licensed vet- !
erlnarluns practicing in the state of
Oeorgla. Most of these live in towns I
and cities, and there are many farmers j
in the state who are more than one ]
hundred miles from a competent vet- j
erlnarian; and even if they could se
cure his services in time, it would be !
at an almost prohibitive cost. It may
thus be said with propriety that farm
ers living out in the open country
would find it extremely difficult to se
cure the aid of a competent veterina
rian, and that this condition is not
likely to be remedied until provision is
made for the training of a very consid
erable number of men in the underly
ing principles of veterinary medicine.
That some provision for instruction
of this character should be made is
evidenced by the very considerable
number of applications received from
young men who desire to study veter
inary medicine. In view of this fact,
the trustees of the Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture have endeavored
to meet the situation by authorizing
the establishment of the first two
years of a degree course in veterinary
medicine. This will be open to any
young man In Georgia seventeen years
of age and who is able to present four
teen units for entrance. It is the earn
est hope of the trustees that at the
end of two years through the aid of
the state they may be able to add
the Junior work of training veterina
rians within the state who are ac
quainted with local conditions, in sym
pathy with the people living in the
open country, and who naturally be- j
lieve In Georgia and its future possi- |
billties along live stock production.
Co-Operation In
Buying Farm Machinery
i
L. C. HART, Professor Os Agr. Engi- !
neering, Ga. State College Os Agr.
Many fanners of Georgia will never '
be nble to participate in the benefits i
of some lines of farm machinery until ;
such machines have been purchased
co-operatively. For one farmer to buy
all of them would tie up too much cap
ital. It would not *uiy. Hut for sev
eral farmers to buy and get use of
such machinery, good profits will fol
low.
The purchase of threshing machin
ery, farm tractors, harvesting ma
chines, silo fillers, corn shredders, >
etc., may be Instanced. Special es- ;
fort is to be made by Agricultural En j
glneering department of the College
to get farmers in communities to pur
chase farm machinery In this way.

N It Always Helps M
says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., In
k writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman’s
mjm tonic. She says further: “Before I began to use gQjg
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I
thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able
pM to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles Sc 9
r~3 of Cardui, 1 began to feel like a new woman. I soon
ppj gained 35 pounds, and now, Ido all my housework, |jjjjq£?
as well as run a big water mill.

a trial I still use Cardui when I feel .a little bad,
and it always does me good.”
Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness,
tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman
ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman's
tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui rTI
[pj for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing
