where a man demands a doctor
and nurse. A. Mitchell, Bagdad,

ney Pills and she is completely
cured.” Aching back, sore mus
cles, stiff joints, shooting pains in

workiog properly. Foley Kidney
Pills correct bladder troubles.

Half Yoyr Living
Without Cost
A. right or wrong start in 1917 will
make or break most, farmers in the
South. We are all facing a crisis.
This war in Europe put 3 things in
such uncertainty that no man can
foresee the future with auy degree of
clearness.
The sure and certain increase in
cotton acreage means lower cotton
prices next fall. Cost of all food and
grain products high, so high that
no one can afford to buy and expect
to pay out with cotton.
It’s a time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your
own acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living. It will
save you more money than you made
on the best five acres of cotton you
ever grew!
Hastings’ 1817 Seed Book tells all
