AGENT NESMITH SUGGESTS
VISIT TO THE AG1 COLLEGE
In a letter addressed to the Farm-
and Business men of Baldwin
county, Farm Agent E. A. Nesmith
suggests a trip to the Agricultural
College in Athens to be made on
Sempteber 2nd. The following is the
letter mailed out by the agent:
For the past several weeks I have
been thinking what a fine thing it
would be for the farmers and busi-
men of the county tf visit the
St**te College of Agriculture, at
Athens. This was taken up at the
annual meeting of the Baldwin
County Farmer’s Club, and they
thought it a good idea. They settled
on Friday, September 2nd as the
date on which to go, leaving Mil-
ledgevtlle at 8 o’clock from the
Chamber of Commerce and all going
in a body. I would suggest
that all of those who have cars, c
to Milledgeville in them so a
accommodate some of those who do
have a way to go, each man pay
ing his share of these expenses. That
will make it light on all.
Just at this time there are a great
many things of interest at the col
lege. There-is the college farm prop
er, where “The Red Old Hills
Georgia” have been changed to
scenes of verdure, a far more inspir
ing subject on which to write a poem
than the denuded landscape which
was the inspiration of that beautiful
poem with which we are all so fa
miliar. There are the experiment
plats of practically all crops adapted
to the Piedmont section of Georgia.
Variety tetts of all farm crops
adapted to that section and this.
Then there are the fertilizer tests
where fertilizer formulas are tests
from year to year. Then the live
stock, sheep, dairy, cow beef, cows
and swine. The National Egg Laying
Contest, where the best birds from
all over the United States and some
from Canada are running a race to
see which one can lay the most eggs.
Camp Wilkins, where thousands of
farm boys and girls go for a week’s
intensive training each year. Anoth
er reason why you should visit the
college is the fact that it is your
it is doing. Will you not join
this trip? It will bo for one d,.v
and if you are not sa.i.Sed ui“2
day has Wn well spent when „
finished, it will be my treat.
What is a
Diuretic I
T HE p«t played by the
kidneys and their impor-
tance to bodily health should
be dearly understood. SW
giah kidneya do not thoroughly
cleanse the blood of poisonous
wastes. Such impurities are apt
to make one dull, tired and
achy with often a nagging
backache, drowsy headaches
and dizziness. A common warn
ing of imperfect kidney action

Doan’s Pills aid the kidneys
