Too Much Os A Good Thing
“It is six years since I had my first
stomach trouble. It rapidly grew
worse. My food would not digest and
I was reduced to skin and bone. My .
doctor put me on starvation diet, and
when my pains grew worse I conclud
ed it was too much of a good thing. |
On the advice of my druggist I tried
Mayr’s Wonderful Remedy, and am 1
now entirely well.”

preparation that removes

al tract that allays the inflammation
which causes practically all stomach, ■
liver and intestinal ailments, includ
ing appendicitis. One dose will con

GEORGIA COTTON CROP
FORECAST AT 1 185,000 BALES
Atlanta, G«. Aug. 25—An old time
cotton crop is forecast by the Geor
gia Co-operative Crop Service in its
semi-monthly report released today.
From the present outlook the crop
will be about double that produced
last year. The difficulty in 1923 was
in telling how small the crop would
be, say the statisticians. This year
the difficulty is in tellng how high
Georgia figures will run.
A large proportion of the crop is
probably safe and picking has started
in the lower third of the state. 801 l
weevils are becoming quite active in
South Georgia, but in that section
the crop is too far advanced for them
to do damage at all comparable with
that of last year. Quite a number of
counties failed to receive rain during
the past fortnight and the outlook
has been reduced on this account.
This is particularly true of scattered
counties in north Georgia.
Burke, Carroll, Sumter and Lauren*
counties promise to make a close race
for first place. Correspondents in
each of these counties have fixed their
idea oC the crop around 25,000 bale.'.
Until a week ago the race seemed to
be between Sumter and Burke. Now
the odds seem to favor Carroll. In
the next group are, Madison, Frank
lin, Hall, Dodge, Terrell and Emanuel,
which are expecting to make from 15,-
000 to 20,000 bales.
One of the most remarkable fea
tures of the report is that a great
many counties in south Georgia ex
pect to make from two to five times
as much cotton as they did last sea
son. This is the area where the crop
was almost a failure last year. In
north-central Georgia a similar situa
tion is indicated in counties such as
Hancock, Morgan, Greene etc. Here
the weevil pfratically put cotton
growers out of business several years
ago. The outlook is for four or five
times as much cotton as has been pro
duced in those sections ip the last
year or two.
The forecast is based on a condi
tion of 70 per cent and an indicated
yield of about 150 pounds of lint cot
ton per acre. It will vary from that
amount as conditions are better or
worse than average after that date, i
