I heard of Doan’s Kidney Pills and got a supply and when I had finished taking them 1 was en tirely cured of this trouble.

It bids fair to be unusually so this year because the excessive rainfalls have delayed farm work. Fortunately we had more land sown to grain this year so it was possible to get most of the corn and cotton land in shape in spite of the rains. Then too a dry spell through this immediate section helped us right at that time. But grain land presents a problem to us right now. It must be sown to peas or planted at the same time the cotton and corn land is in bad need of cultivation and cotton needs dusting with calcium arsenate. For these reasons I am afraid a good deal of the oat and wheat stub ble land will be allowed to grow a fine crop of crab grass. Peavine or velvet bean hay is better and will do the land more good. We can hardly afford to let any opportunity go by to build up our soils. So lets plant those peas or beans if we have to do by spells. Some farmers have already found lime to turn a large portion of their stubble land while others have disk ed it. In cases where time cannot be found to break it right away some are disking the land with a disk har row and sowing without rebreaking. This process may not yield as much per acre but It beats letting the land lay out. Riding Cntlvators Some of the farms I have visited lately are using the cultivator to good advantage. One farmers was cleaning; a corn field and leaving in good shape with the disks on a riding cul tivator. Others are finding the culti vators enable them to get over their cotton and corn much more rapidly, ! keeping the grass down and the crops in better growing condition. At the j same time the rapid cultivation Is one of the most effective methods of con- ; trolling boll weevils. I have seen cultivators enable farmers to save his I crops when he could not possibly have “caught up” with the o-ld style plows. Can Ranks Afford To Advance Money To Fanners For Buying Stock Hogs? The following artiole written by Newell of the Miss. A. & M. is one of the most practical I have seen in a long time. Naturally the first question that will come to the banker’s mind when this proposition is brought before him is, “Will this proposition of financing farmers in buying good brood sows prove to be good business?” We be lieve that by close study of the avail able facts in the case the bankers will readily see that there is money, to be made in feeding hogs under nor-! mal conditions. A number of experi ment stations have worked out the cost of producing a 225 pound hog. this size being a good market weight, and the average of these resu ts is j about as follows: To birth, feed equivalent to 45 lbs. of corn. ♦ To weaning at 30 pounds, feed equivalent to 72 pounds of corn, 20.1 j pounds of middlings, 7.2 pounds of j tankage. Weaning to 223 pounds weight, | 756.55 pounds of corn, and 33.15 lbs. of tankage. TotaJ feed required, 575.55 pounds of corn, or 15.63 bushels, 29.1 pound? of middlings, 40 35 pounds of tankage. Figuring corn at 50c per bushel, middlings at S3O per ton. and tankage at $45 per ton. a 225 pound pig would cost $8.99 and would have to aeld for 4c per pound to realize market value for the feeds. These figures however no not include the cost of labor, so about one fourth more must be add ed. which witl bring the cost to about 5c per pound. It shou'ul be noticed that the ex periment stations have used tankage and middlings because they have learned that corn alone is not an econ omical feed, and that for best result? the ration must be balanced. We are fortunate in the South in having pea nuts. soy beans and velvet beans which vvl'.l furnish the protein part of the feed. We do not make the best use of these feed?, however, because we of ten turn hogs on them without un> other feeds. They do much better ;f fed corn at the same time they are running on such high protein feeds. Comparison of the above figures j with prices during the past season will show that hogs are profitable to our farmers and good bank securities. Soy Beans Soy beans, while not so well adapt ed to this section as to middle Geor gia, wl'.l give good results if proper ly handled. They can be sown as peas or sown, drilled, planted in ca,- rew rows or planted in corn middles. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR ftTTt Tl* TTT V ~TTT 'i ’A' 4v V V ’r If for hay they will give a good qual ity hay that is easily handled but a little harder to cure than peavine hay. Most of our farmers cut soy beans - to late. The large amount of plant food carried in the stalk enables them to be cut when the bottom first begin to turn yellow. There is enough strength in the stalk to finish matur ing the benas and making an excel lent hay. Waiting until the leaves ! or all of the pods are yellow will re sult in a great many of the beans be ing lost in handling. If planted in narrow rows and cul tivated a couple of times they will yield a heavy crop of beans. The i same is true if planted in the corn middles. They should be planted earlier than peas as they require a longer time to mature. Do not plant next to big woods or creeks where the rabbits are bad as they are very fond of them. This is probably the worst trouble weh ave in growing the Soy Bean as the rabbits are rather plentiful. It sometime helps to plant the first few outside rows rather thick but even that will not suffice next to weods. Uurge the boys to keep the dogs busy during wet days. Soy benas give a good hog grazing crop either as green grazing or as a fall crop to be hogged off. Either the corn should be left in the fields for the hogs to gather at same time or else corn should be fed to the hogs while they are grazing it. The qual ! ity of pork, if vroduced on soy benas alone will be soft but hardly so oily fas from peanuts. If fed corn or if ; corn in left in the field it will improve ! the quality of the pork though hardly ; make is pass as hard hogs. Some tests ' have produced hard pork by this latter , method but it has not been definitely | \ established yet as to what the quality |; will be. j; DEWBERRY GROWERS WINDING UP VERY SUCCESSFUL SEASON Members of the Vidalia Dewberry . Association are this week winding up shipments and coming to the cl se of a very successful season. The rain ing during May greatly -damaged the crop, interfered also with the carrying quality of the berries and resulted in lower prices being received than the growers anticipated, but prices in the man have been very satisfactory and growers have been pleased with th'e financial returns. Acreage in berries in this section has been greatly in creased and many additional acres will he put ill this fall, and next sea son it will he possble to ship in car load lots, if the association desires. An interesting fact developed this season was that in many markets the! I 1 cultivated dewberry brought higher j 1 prices than the strawberry, which was on the market at the same time. A large amout of the shipments this year have been* handled in refrigera tor boxes, each box carrying eighty I quarts, and which put the berries to distant markets in splendid shape. I 111!
