The Iris, or the fleur-de-lis, Is the
national flower of France. It was
originally "tilled the fleur-de-LowN.
The undents valued It highly for me
dicinal purposes. A powder made from
l- j the root, mixed with honey, was used
a. for broken hones, nnd It was also con
sidered beneficial for snake and scor
pion bites. A valuable perfume and

"The soil is the most Important
frotiree of wealth In an agricultural
id ate,” says L. K. Call, of the Kansas
Agricultural Experiment Station. "If
It is maintained In a high state of pro
ductivity by wise systems of soil man-
iftgement, the people prosper. If Its
[fertility Is wasted through careless
.methods of farming, both the farmer
and the state suffer.” i
I11 a report on coastal plain soils, by
[C. B. Williams, chief of the Division
of Agronomy, North Carolina Depart
ment of Agriculture, it is stated that:
"Coastal Plain soils, generally speak-
ling, are deficient In organic matter. In
(order that the most profitable produc
tion of crops shall he secured, even
when using fertilizing materials. It will
be necessary to so arrange the crop
rotations that organic matter In con-
frlderable quantities will he turned
iback into the soils low in tills material.
In arranging the rotations, it should
be plnnned as nearly as is practicable i
to provide, by the growing of suitable >
leguminous crops and turning them in, j
the required nitrogen in the soils for
(the non-leguminous crops of the rota
tion. In order to grow the leguminous
crops In the rotation successfully—on
tin some cases, too. the non-leguminous
,crops—It will be necessary to use lih- j
ieral quantities of lime on the soils. It
is quite evident from the large number
of acid or sour soils In tho Coastal
Plain section of the state that i»ot. near
enough lime Is used by the farmers at
the present time to secure the largest
and most profitable production of
crops."
Value of Lime.
The Purdue University Agricultural
Experiment Station through ILs depart
ment of Soils nnd Crops, lias been con
ducting extensive soil Improvement ex
periments in many parts of the slate.
It Is determining In n practical way »
through its field investigations the [
value of the different practices, meth
ods and materials involved In perma
nent increase in soil fertility.

D Q YOU enjoy your meals? Eat
without the dread of the after
effects?
Lack of appetite, and a disgreeable,
aick-at-the-stomach feeling after meats,
usually indicate that your digestive
organs are not working properly. As
a result, you will feel weak, lose weight
and lack the energy that is to be de
rived from well-digested food.
A valuable help in correcting such
eondlticns is mentioned by the Rev.
K. K. McKenzie, of Route 1, Section,
Ala., who writes: "I had stomach trou
ble. When I would go to eat, I would
turn sick. I took one bottle of Ziron,
and it cured me. Am always ready
for iny meals and enjoy them. I think
it 19 a fine medicine.”
If your food hurts you, if your appe
tite is poor, if you are pale, weak and
run-down, and have other symptoms
that indicate your system needs help,
try Ziron. It will put iron into your
blood and help build you up. Take it
according to directions, and if not
benefited by the first bottle, the money-
back guarantee will protect you.
