Mr. Editor: As I have not

letter.
The health of our community
is good at present
Farmers have all their land
broke and planting corn is the
order of the day at present. We
have had but little rain here
this spring, not enough to stop
the plows, but enough to bring
the corn up and that makes it
nice for the farmers. Farming
is easier here than in the old
country. 1 left Georgia the 9th
of January and have put up 50
acres of laud ready to plant. Can
any one in the old state beat it?
You can ride and do all of your
plowing here, that is if you like
to ride, but a fellow will get very
tired riding all day.
It takes three or four years
for one to he satisfied here. He
must make one or two trips back
to the old state and see how poor
and hilly it looks.
A man that will work can do
well here, but he must not come
here thinking that he won’t have
to work.

It is not so much what we
have that makes us happy as

BLOOD
We live by our blood, and on
it. We thrive or starve, as our
blood is rich or poor. There is
nothing else to live on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high we are being re
freshed-bone, muscle and
brain, in body and mind—with
continual flow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits, no
cheer, no spring, when rest is
not rest and sleep is not sleep,
we are starved; our blood is
poor; there is little nutriment
in it.
Back of the blood is food,

WHAT RAILROADS
EARNED IN GEORGIA
Rate Expert George F. Mont
gomery, of the railroad commis
sion, has completed the consoli
dated statement of the earnings
and expenses of the railroads of
Georgia for the fiscal year end
ed June 30, 1908, compiled from
the reports made by the rail
roads to that body.
This statement shows that the
gross earnings of all the railroad,
of Georgia for the y©ar in ques
tion were $38,576,706.65; opera
ting expenses $29,969,985.72; net
earnings deficits
$25,205.61.
Deficits are shown by the Chat
tanooga Southern, Garbutt and
Donovan Short Line, Lawrence
ville branch, Lexington Termi
tial, Macon and Birmingham, Tal
-1 ilah Falls railway and the Union
Point and White Plains.
Tlfe statement for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1907, the
year before the panic, shows the
following: Gross earnings $40,-
727,877.45; operating expens
es $32,052,750.54; net earnings
$8,725,997.54; deficits $50,870.96.
Gross earnings fell off about
$2,200,000 and net earnings de
creased about $155,000 in the pan
ic year. The deficits like-wise
show a large decrease.

The Best Fertilizers for Corn
That the yield of corn from the average farm can be greatly in
creased by intelligent and liberal fertilization has been repeatedly
demonstrated. Large crops of good corn result from preparing the
land well, using the right kind and quantity of fertilizer, good seed
and proper cultivation.
Virginia-Carolina
Fertilizers
will greatly “increase your yield per acre” of corn or any other crop.
In some cases remarkable results have been obtained.
Mr. C. W. Caruthers of Sumpter County, Fla., writes: Words
cannot express the value of your fertilizer. It is really so far ahead
of other companies’ goods, that it would not pay anyone to use ot her
brands, were they given free and put in the field. 1 can prove what
I say to be a fact. 1 made a test on five acres. I used on one half
the land your fertilizer and on the other half another company sfertil
izer, same grade; the land received the same cultivation every time.
I kept a correct account of the amount of money I got off each, half
and I got Sjoo more front the land on which I used Virginia Caroltna
Fertilizer than T did off the other half. I got four times as much
corn from the land on tvhich I used your fertilizer.
