AN OLDRECIPE
TO OMEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only wajAto get
this mixture was to make it at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sul
phur Compound." You will get a large
bottle of this old-time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
at very little cost. Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and Gvenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap
plication or two, your hair becomes
[ beautifully dark, thick and glossy and
you look years younger. Wyeth’s Sage
and Sulphur Compound is a delightful
toilet requisite. It is not intended for 1
! the cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease.

THE VIDALIA ADVANCE
THE COST OF IDLE WORK
STOCK IS SURPRISING
Never before in the history of Amer
ican agriculture has it been so neces
sary to keep production costs at a
conservative point. This is an era of
declining prices, which may continue
with minor upturns for several years.
The man who does not watch closely
every item of cost and endeavor to
cut at all possible points stands a good
chance to come out with the balance
on the wrong side of the ledger at
the end of the year.
According to the U. S. department
of agriculture, 19.2 per cent of the
cost of producing crops is due to work
stock. The cost of work stock is ap
proximately equal to half the man la
bor cost for all crops.
The Georgia State College of Agri
culture has recently completed a study
j of work stock costs on 154 farms in
Georgia. According to this report,
the average Georgia farmer feeds 66
and 1-2 bushels of corn, 18 bushels of
oats and 1 and 3-4 tons of forage, in
cluding hay, fodder and oats in the
bundle per year. If we figure corn
at 78c per bushel, oats at 54c and hay
at $20.00 per ton, the yearly cost for
feed alone is $96.59. The average de
preciation on a mule is about 10 per
cent and we should allow 8 per cent
interest on the investment. Assuming
the value of the mule to be $150.00, the
interest, and depreciation amounts to
$29.00 per year. Other costs, such as
shoeing, veterinary expense, taxes,
etc., add $3.98 to the annual cost.
The yearly cost of work stock per
head at present prices totals $129.57.
At 20c per pound, it would take over
a bale and a quarter of cottoh to pay
the upkeep of one mule.
A survey of Brooks county in 1914
showed that the average farm mule
works only 113 days per year. At
that rate, each days work would cost
$1.15. The farmers of Brooks coun
ty at that time were practicing diver
sification to a greater extent than any
other county in Georgia and were in
all probability getting more work out
of their mules than the farmers of
other sections. But more than one
third of the farmers in that county
only worked their mules 80 days, mak
ing the cost per day $1.62. On the
other hand, there were about a third
of them who worked their mules 151
days, which at present costs of mule
labor would amount to only 86c per
day. If it were possible to keep a
mule busy 300 days in a year, the daily
cost would be just 43 cents.
These figures show that one way to
keep down the cost of production is
to provide some profitable work for
the mules to do every day. This takes
lots of forethought and careful man
agement. It means making plans in
advance. One very successful farm
er said recently that he always plan
ned his work a year in advance.
That practice may have had some
thing to do with his success, although
he has many other attributes of a
good farmer.
Another way of reducing work stock
costs is by economical feeding. In
the study made by the Georgia State
College of Agriculture, 18 of the 154
farmers fed 100 bushels or more of
corn per year, while 35 got along with
50 bushels or less. No doubt most of
the feed was wasted on the farms
where 100 bushels per year was used.
The use of green sorghum and pas
ture, especially at times when mules
are idle, will help materially to re
duce the work stock costs. At this
time, when farming is not highly pro
fitable, we must stop up all the leaks
and throw overboard all unneccessary
loads, if wea re to keep the old ship
afloat.
