WASTE EXCEEDINGLY HURTFUL. all wastefulness, while the quent loss hurts most the Further back than the oldest person living can remember, the boys and girls were admonished that “wilful waste makes woeful want,” or -words to that effect. The wasfff continues to the dis pleasure of thrifty people, and to J the discomfort of millions of other ! peoplo who are not thrifty, and 1 Carelessness is the basic cause of conse- people who can least afford to bear it. Wasl fulness is not confined to any class, but the percentage is greatest-among those who must work for everything they gob. Whenever waste has to do with manufacturing, or any kiud of production, prices inevitably go up, or are kept up. The cost of waste must be added to the selling prico, or the retail seller must bear it. It is reputed that waste is reduc ed to the minimum by the great corporations, but not always. An example is given in the fol lowing Associated Press article copied from the Atlanta Consti tution.

TO INCREASE SWEET POTATO YIELD The average yield of sweet potatoes for the State of Georgia is less than 90 bushels per acre. This is very low when compared with numerous cases on record where growers liavo produced more than 400 bushels on an acre. At the Georgia Experiment Sta tion a half acre plat of Porto Rico variety on average red clay loam soil, produced over 200 bushels of potatoes, alarge per centage of which were marketable.

What is being done at the Experiment Station, niay be done by the sweet potato growers throughout the State* Growers may become familiar with sweet potato dieases by experience or better, by reading the bulletins describing such dieases.

Some growers .believe that .potatoes stored in banks or pits will produce sprouts or draws hotter and quicker than potatoes stored in curing houses.. This is a mistake idea, as proved by the Experiment Stations and growers throughout the South, who have tested this and found that the seed potatoes stored in properly operated houses produce more and better plants per bushel of seed.

I believe if I hadn’t heard of and taken Cardui I would have died. I bought six bottles, after a neighbor told me what it did for her. “I began to eat and sleep, began to gain my strength and am now well and strong. I haven’t had any trou* ble since ... I sure can testify to the good that Cardui did me. I think there is a better tonic and 1 believe it saved my life." For over 40 years, thousands of wo* men have used Cardui successfully, approaching a street car or corner. J. H. H.
