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. 1 get the News every Monday and it is like getting a letter from home. W. H. W. It is not so much what we have that makes us happy as wliat we do not want. 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, to keep the blood rich. WTien it fails, take SCOTT’S EMULSION It sets the whole body going again—man, woman and child.

SCOTT & BOWSE. 409 Peart SL. Neu York <E NEWS, THURSDAY, MARCH 11, 1909. 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.

I 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.
