‘•1 told you so” 1 have sold out
my entire stoclf of Coles TJ niver
sal Planters and can’t get anv
more this season, for the ieason
that the factory is unable to till
orders now in 1 and, therefore a
number of farmers who want
these planters m t wait until an
<) ther season to get them. This
proves that my advice to buy
ly on account of limited supply
was not a bluff.
It is follv to plant a crop and
let the grass eat it up,, it is also
very foolish to expend more rmm
ev and labor in < uhivaiMig a clo P
than t he crop wai M • 11 i n- after it
is made.
Profit is what up to date tarm
MI’S aiv striving for and the best
way to increase the profit is to de
crease the cost of production an d
at the same time increase the
yield. conditions in
Under present in
this section this can he done
c ther way than by the use of
bor saving 1 mp lements. You can
reduce the cost of land, mules,
wagons tools or fertilizers; you
can’t cut down rlie wages of
hands, but you can make one
( lo the work of two to four
using the rightdool at t Tie
time, thus cutting down The cost
< > f cultivation 50 to 75 per cent.
When a merchant invests in
stock of merchandise he
the percent of profit he can
and it is high time farmers
figuring percentage some too.
Now let’s figure a little:
The best way to kill grass is fee
do it before it comes up and
well rooted 1 this can be done
lest ant chenpest with the
lock Weeder, Every
farmer as well as big
should use this tool; run it
cast over corn, cane, pindars and
other crops just before they come
up, thereby keeping down grass
and weeds over the entire surface
of the field and helping to secure
a good stand and at the same time
thoroughly pulverizing the sur
face soil. Continue to run the
weeder over the land after each
rain as soon as a crust is formed
until the cane and corn is knee
high or higher, you wont injure
the crop, but will destroy the
grass and weeds in their infancy
and keep the entire surface of the
field, middles and all, soft and
well mulched with dust; grass
can’t sprout in dust. A twelve
year old boy and one' horse can
go over 12 to 15 acres a day as the
weeder cuts seven and a half feet
at each through. Stumps are not
a bar to the use of this tool—sim
ply go aound the stumps. Run
the weeder ovor oats and increase
the yield, also run it cross ways
over cotton before chopping.
Don’t use the weeder while the
ground is very wet but use it. con
tinuosly during drougth as it
serves the moisture and keeps
crop grow ing.
The poorest and most
way to kill grass is with a hoe,
rapid and constant use of
weeder you will have little or
hoeing to do on any crop.
Now is the time to buy while 1
have a good stock on hand.
• Every two horse farmer should
use the Moline Walking
tor No. 226 Southern, with adjust
able arch, Dauble Corner
Beams, adjustable spring
Shanks, No other cultivator is
as gaod.
With this implement you
dle the rovv and work both sides
one through, running either
or two furrows on each side of
row as you prefer. You can
Scooters, Shovels, Turn
Sweeps and Scrapes on this tool
and do just as good work as with
a single sto«k. One man with
two horses can .do the work of
tour men and four horses a great
portion of the time and do the
work ot two all the time. You
can use the same plows you now
have on hand on the Moline
Southern.
Use four scooters or shovels.
and four furrows both sides of
j the row at ° ne tri P
b se two sweeps and two turn
! pl° ws and side both sides of the
rovv and als0 brush the middles
out at same trip, Use two large
sweeps and side both sides of
j the row lapping in the middies
I one trip. The Moline South
: era is not a one crop
but works equally well for Corn,
| |otton, Cane, I indars, • Tobacco,
and otber crops.
i Remember the name “Moline
Southern. n Some Other cultiva
; tors claim to be as good but the
I test in the field under all condi
tions wont sustain the claim,
The Moline has been fully tested
in this section and is suited to
our conditions, so don’t be de
ceived by oily tongued agents
but buy the best, for the best is
none too good for South Geor
gia farmers. The Moline is ve
ry simple and easy to operate,
but I will send a man to your
field to set you right if you
should have any trouble in oper
ating it.
I am proving my fuith in these
tools by using five Molines and
four Hallock Weeders on my
own farm. I don’t hesitate to
recommend these two impli
ments to our farmers for I have
tested them fully for several
years and I feel that I am put
ting money into the pocket of
every farmer to whom I sell one.
I buy them in car lots, and
my prices are right. I now have
on hand a good supply ready
for delivery, and earnestly solic
it your patronage.
Yours for bigger profit in
farming,
W. B. Roddenbery.

Cotton Stalk Paper.
According to the Washington
correspondent to the Montgom
erv Advertiser a new use has
been found for the cotton stalk
which will make it the source of
much profit to the southern
planter, He states that, a fae
tory at Atlanta is now turning
out a quality of paper from the
cotton stalk which is pronoun
ce( ] i> e equal to the very best
Belfast linen. Experts of the
Baereau of Plant Industry have
been experimenting alon £=» ' ) fc 'this

product a : success. If this be
t,'ue it means more monev to ve

Taking Desperate Chances.
u is true that man v contract colds and

j recover from themwithout taking any pre-1 of!

this fact leads others to take their chano s
i i.-,tead of giving their colds the nee, J
ed attention. It should be borne in mind
; that every cold weakens thelungs, loweis
the vitality, makes the system less able to!
withstand eash succeeding cold and paves |
the way for more serious diseases. Can

Best Cough Medicine for Children.
When you buy a cough medicine
small children you want one in which you
can place implicit confidence. You want
one that not only relieves but cures.
You want one that is unquestionably
harmless. You want one that is pleasant
to take. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
meets all of these conditions. There is
nothing so good for the coughs and colds
incident to childhood. It is also a certain
preventive and cure for croup, and there
is no danger whatever from whooping
cough when it is gi\en. It has been used
in many epidemics of that disease with
perfect success. For sale by Wight &
Browne.
