The
Exceptional
Equipment
of the California Fig Syrup Co. and the
scientific attainments of its chemists have
rendered possible the production of Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of Senna, in all of its
excellence, by obtaining the pure medic
inal principles of plants known to act most
beneficially and combining them most
skillfully, in the right proportions, with
its wholesome and refreshing Syrup of
California Figs.
As there is only one genuine Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna and as the gen
uine is manufactured by an original
method known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, it is always necessary to buy the
genuine to get its beneficial effects.
A knowledge of the above facts enables
one to decline imitations or to return them
if, upon viewing the package, the full name
of the California Fig Syrup Co. is not found
printed on the front thereof.

A LIFE WORTH WHILE
Mrs. J. H. Hill, nee Mary Alice
Wakeley, died in her home at Lyerly
August 24, 1909.
She had numbered little more than
a decade of winters and summers
when she gave her heart to God and
united with the Sardis Baptist church
from which she was buried August
25, 1909. She was baptised and re
ceived into the church by the late
Mr. Glazner to whom she gave a
warm friendship unbroken to the day
of his death.
Most of her childhood was spent
in her home at Price's bridge, gath
ering wild flowers from the grassy
banks of Chattooga river and in
corporating their beauty and fra
grance into her life and character, or
lying 'neath the waving branches of
the old oaks, listening to the carol
of the birds and the ripple of the
waters, and weaving their music into
her soul to be reproduced in later
years, - in fireside tales for her baby
boy. As she grew into girlhood she
shed around her associates the sweet
influences of these early environ
ments. She was a vivacious girl, car
rying sunshine wherever she went.
Having a very intense nature her
pleasures and sorrows were extreme
and acute. Tenacious of purpose, she
succeeded where most people would
fail and suffered keenly when defeat
ed in any undertaking. Being both
ambitious and fond of reading, she
had an unusual store of information.
From the time she joined the church
her loyalty to her Master found ex
pression in service. One of her keen
est pleasures was when she could
go to the county almshouse, take
one of the most afflicted inmates to
her home, put her in a cozy room
and with her own hands minister to
her wants. She knew the blessing
of giving—not only presents to
friends but gifts to the needy. None
of God’s creatures were too humble
to claim her service. Pain and suf
fering wiped out social and color
line. Her feet were as swift to alle
viate the suffering of the negroes in
her midst as they were to soothe the
the pain of her most cultured friend.
Verily “her right hand knew not what
her left hand did.” Only when time
shall be no more and all of earth’s
children shall appear before God’s
throne and we shall hear the King
of Glory say to the redeemed, “In
asmuch as ye did it unto the least
of these, ye did it unto me,” shall
we know how many hungry, naked
and sick were made comfortable by
her kindness.
Her marriage to J. H. Hill in her
early womanhood was the consuma
tion of a betrothal entered into when
she was only a school girl. She
was a dutiful and affectionate daugh
ter, a loyal and loving wife and moth
er, a devoted sister and a true friend.
We don’t understand the eclipse that
hides our beloved from us and we
sigh.
“Oh! for the touch of a vanished
hand,
“And the sound of a voice that is
still.”
The bereaved husband and one
son linger here on the dark side,
while the released mother and an
other son wait on the bright side
of the veil. One sister is left while
Mamie has gone to join mother and
another sister in the land of cloudless
sky.
Just a few days before The An
cient of Days came out from the wall
of mist and beconed our beloved to
pass through to the unseen, she
clipped the poem, “God Knows Best,
from a paper and asked that it be
put in her scrap book. I appened the
following lines feeling that Mamie
would whisper them for our comforts:
“If sometime, commingled with life’s
wine
We find the wormwood and rebel and
shrink,
Be sure a wiser hand than yours or
mine
Pours out this portion for our lips
to drink.
If someone we love is lying low
Where human kisses cannot reach
her face,
Oh, don’t blame the loving Father so,
But bear your sorrow with obedient
grace.”
“And you shall shortly know that
lengthened breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends
His friends,
And that sometime the sable pall of
death
Conceals the fairest boon His love
can send.
If we could push ajar the gates of
life,
And stand within and all God’s work
ings see,
We could interpret all this doubt and
strife,
And for each mystery could find a
key.”

BLACKROOT RESISTING COTTON
Department of Entomology Has Suc
cessfully Grown Resistant Kind.
Atlanta, Ga. —Resistant varieties of
cotton, which will throw off the
dred diseases of black root and an
thracnose, so prevalent in this state,
have been successfully grown in
Georgia this year, and it now seems
only a question of time before these
two menaces to the cotton crop will
be entirely eradicated.
Professor A. C. Lewis of the
state department of. entomology, in
charge of cotton culture, has spent
sometime in South Georgia, picking
the cotton which has stood the
tests, with a view to securing the
seed for more widespread dissemina
tion next season. In two-score of
the most afflicted points in South
Georgia, the resistant varieties were
, planted by him this spring, and this
fall the splendid results are shown
by a good stand and multiplicity of
well-developed bolls devoid of any
disease. The seed from this cotton
. will be brought to Atlanta and
i from this point distributed to infect
led sections of the state in small
• quantities next spring, so that these
. resistant varieties may be grown and
thereafter generally used.
It is recalled that at the recent
session of the legislature SIO,OOO was
appropriated for the purpose of fight
, ing the black root, which is costing
Georgia hundreds of thousands of dol
lars annually. Since the various
counties have been orgniazed to be
i gin a crusade against thsee diseases
and the use of these resistant varie
; ties will be one of the methods used.
Not only does black root and an
j thracnose destroy the cotton lint, but
also the cotton seed itself, a most
valuable part of the cotton crop, now,
, each year. There are several hun
dred cotton oil mills in this state
| that consume all the cotton seed mar
| keted and, in addition, to giving the
. i planter a good price for his cotton
i seed, furnish him in return cotton
I seed meal, the best and cheapest cat
i tie feed to be had; cotton seed oil,
I which, in a compound, is rapidly sup
I planting hog lard, and, in its refined
| state, a condiment for his table that
j cannot be surpassed.
■ The success of these resistant varie-
I eties of cotton seed will be watched
with interest.

How strangely yet how naturally
are we affected by each season as it
comes. The sobering, retrospective
effect upon us of autumn is vastly
| different from the bouyant and pros
| pective influence of the springtime.
I The dying F aves and flowers touch
ed by the early frost, the evidences
all around us of decay, and that the
evening of the year has come are in
fitting accord with the evening of
j every human life. But autumn ha:
'I also a beauty of its own in the
leaves aflame with scarlet, and gold,

ing of every life should have a beau
ty of its own —a beauty which in its
' richness has been wrought out by the
experiences and trueness of the pre
ceding years.

BULLETIN ON COTTON SOILS
Agricultural Department Issues “Fer
tilizer for Cotton Soils."
Washington, D. C. —Bulletin N 0.62
entitled “Fertilizers for Cotton Soils,’
by Professor Milton Whitney, chief
of the bureou of soils, has been is
sued by the department of agrcul
ture. The purpose of the bulletin is
to show what fertilizers are best adap
ted to cotton soils and the effect of
certain fertilizers on the crop yields
of cotton. The bulletin goes into tech
nical details of an experiment mad<
I in analyzing fertilizers in relation to
' the yields of corps on cotton soils. In
the yields crops on cotton soils. lit
the preface Professor Whitney says:
“In order to establish certain funda
mental principles regarding the effect
and efficiency of fertilizers on cotton
soils. I have had compiled all the
available results of plat tests with
fertilizers on cotton soils which have
been carried out by the experiment
stations. It is believed that this mat
ter will be of considerable interest tc
the farmers of the south.”
In summing up Professor Whitney
says:
“The chances for increase in crop
production are greater with two or
three fertilizers mixed than with a
single substance and a larger increase
gives in general a larger financial
gain. The increase in yield due to
mixtures being approximately equal to
the sum of the increases due to indi
vidual fertilizers. It appears that tho
smaller applications of single fertili
zers —manure —have given in general
no less an increase than the larger
amounts. The increases obtained
from the more productive soils based
upon the yields of unfertilized plats
appears to be no less than from the
less productive soils, indicating an
equal increase in crops for the same
quanity of fertilizers used for the
good soils as for the less productive
soils.
“As the results have been obtained
j from a large number of soils with a
j considerable range of productivity ov
er many years, these general con
clusions, besides others of a qualita
tive value which can be drawn from
the tables, can, in the absence of any
more specific knowledge of any par
ticular fertilizers, be safely followed
as a guide to the immediate selection
j of fertilizers for cotton soils.”

stored all my old-time health and
vigor. Now I can attend to busi

The Value of Intensive Cultivation.
In 1889 the American Agricultur
alist’s contest in corn growing, apen
to the world, took place. In this
contest Captain Zachriah Jordon
Drake of Marlboro county, South
i Carolina, won the grand prize. The
| “Book of Corn” the standard au
thority in the United States on corn
growing thus tells of this yield:
j “From a single acre Mr. Drake
l grew 255 bushels of shelled corn,
1,000 of crib-cured corn. Late in
i February 1,000 bushels of stable
j manure and 500 pounds each of ma
nipulated guano, cottonseed meal
and kanit were broadcasted on the
acre, and then plowed under. Fol
lowing the plow 600 bushels of
whole cottonseed were strewn in the
furrows. A subsoil plow was run
through a depth of twelve inches.
The land was well harrowed and the
rows planted alternately March 2nd,
. three and and six feet apart.
“An improved strain of the com
mon gourd variety of southern white
■ dent corn was planted, five or six
kernels being dropped to each foot
iof the row. It was planted in the
, rows five inches deep but covered
■ only one inch. At the first hoeing
! the plants were thinned to one stalk
; every five or six inches, the missing
; spots replanted. On April 20th the
j sixfoot spaces were plowed and a
; mixture of 200 pounds each of gua
i no, kanit, cottonseed meal, acid
I phosphate and bone were applied and
hoed In. On may 15th the three
foot spaces were plowed, 300 pounds
of nitrate of soda sown and worked
■ in. On may 25th 200 pounds of gua
no were applied in the wide spaces.
Another application of 500 pounds
of guano, cottonseed meal and kai
nit was put on June Bth, and 100
pounds nitrate of soda June 11th.
The crop was harvested November
25th. It yielded 17,407 pounds of
corn in the ear, of which 104 pounds
was soft corn. Several tests showed
that 100 ponuds of ear corn yielded
62 pounds of shelled corn, which
made the yield 254 bushels, 49
pounds of shelled corn at 56 pounds

to the bushel, which, kiln-dried, to
contain only 10 per cent, of water,
would contain 239 bushels.”
Captain Drake’s crop contained 82
per cent, of shelled corn, had 85 per
cent, of dry matter in the corn and
87 per cent, of dry matter in the cob.
Tho green weight in bushels of shell
ed corn was 255 bushels; the crib
cured weight 239 bushels, and the
chemically-dried weight 217 bush
els. The total expenses were $264,
and the value of the unexhausted
manure $l5B. The net expenses per
bushel amounted to 44 cents, and
the feeding and manuria] value of
the crop was $lB2.
In this contest. Alfred Rose of
Yates county, N. Y. won second
prize, with 213 bushels against Cap
tain Drake's 255; George Gardner
of Nebraska was third with 171
bushels, and J. Snelling of Barnwell
county, S. C., was fourth with 131
bushels.
The above extract from the pages
of agricultural history shows that
southern land will actully beat the
very best western land if is han
dled right; and it further empha
sizes the desirability of iutnesive cul
tivation of small tracts as against
merely scratching over large tracts
and there producing failure as the
principal crop.
