Make. Sttte THAT YOUR COTTOM
’ GETS ENOUGH POTASH
PROFITS from cotton dwindle when the
crop cannot get enough potash. Cotton rust
is potash starvation. Decreased yields, more
wilt injury, and poor quality lint and fiber
result when soil and fertilizer do not supply
plenty of this important plant food. Experi
mental work has shown that the value of
the crop can be reduced as much as $25
per acre due to lack of potash.
A recommended application at planting
time is 400-600 pounds, per acre, of a fer
tilizer containing 6-10% potash. At chop
ping time, more can be added in a nitrogen
potash top-dresser containing the equivalent
of 50-100 pounds of muriate of potash.
Ask your county agent or experiment sta
tion how much potash your soil will supply
and how much to add to carry your crop
through to profit. Then
make sure that your Write us for fur

izer containing enough and free literature
potash to supply what on the profitable
you need. You will be fertilization of
surprised how little ex- crops.

INSTALLMENT ONE
God’s Chosen People.
TEXT: Acts 17 :26. And hath made of
one blood all nations of men for to dwell
on all the face of the earth, and hath de
termined the times before appointed, and
the bounds of their habitation.
Many question have been asked, and
much comment has been about the Jews,
and the Gentiles.
Some people seem to think, at the wind
ing up of the Gentile-age, that the door
of mercy will be closed against everyone
except tlie Jewish race, and the Jews will
have exclusive right to salvation.
If you will notice in my text, the
Scripture teaches that God hath made of
< ne I food all nations of men for to dwell
on the earth.
The Jews had the first call of mercy.
When Jesus gave His first commission
to the twelve before His crucifixion, He
commanded them, saying. Go not into the
way of the Gentile, and into any city of
the Samaritans, enter ye not: but go rath
er to the lost sheep of the house of Is
rael. —Matt. 10 :5,6.
When Jesus was in the coasts of Tfre
and Sidon a woman of Ca-naan came out
of the same coasts, and cried unto him,
■saying, Have mercy on me, oh, Lord, thou
son of David ; my daughter is grievously
vexed with a devil. But he answered her
not "a word. And his disciples came and
besought him, saying, Send her away ; for
she crieth after us. But he answered and
said, I am not sent but unto the lost
sheep of the house of Israel. —Matt. 15 :-
21-24. Yet he being full of compassion and
love, heard the cries of this woman and
healed her daughter.
Un another occasion we find Teter upon
the housetop praying. And he became very
hungry and would have eaten : but while
they made ready, he fell into a trance and
saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel
descending unto him, as it had been a
great sheet knit at the four corners, and
let down to the earth : wherein were all
manner of four-footed beast of the earth,
and wild beasts, and creeping things, and
fowls of the air. Frank Holder. And there
came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and
eat. But Peter said, not so, Lord; for 1
have never eaten anything that is com
mon or unclean. And the voice spake unto
him again the second time, What God
hath cleansed that call thou not common.

The cause of a woman’s periodic
suffering from headache, irritabil
ity, cramp-like pain, may be func
tional dysmenorrhea due to malnu
trition, a condition that is often
helped by CARDUI.
Principal way CARDUI helps is
by stimulating appetite and the flow
of gastric juices. Thus it may aid
digestion; help build up a woman’s
strength, energy and nerve-force;
so increase physical resistance to
periodic discomfort.
It also helps reduce periodic dis
tress for many who take it a few
days before and during “the time.”
Your confidence in CARDUI is in
vited by its 50 years of popularity.

FARM BRIEFS
(By Jack Wooten, Extension Editor.)
INCOME FOR 1940
What is the Georgia agricultural out
look for 1940? According to reports com
piled by the extension service staff, the
outlook for prices and income from cot
ton, tobacco and peanuts, the state's three
most important cash crops, depends very
largely upon the extent to which farm
ers in this, and other states, co-operate in
the programs which are designed to ad
just supplies in line with effective de
mand. Due to present burdensome sup
plies of commodities from which Georgia
farmers receive most of their cash in
come, it is imperative that plans for tin
production of these commodities be so
made as to provide for a reduction in
these excessive supplies if prices and in
come are to be maintained or improved,
the economists tell us.
CONTROLLING INSECTS.
Last year 44,077 Georgia farmers fol
lowed the recommendations of the exten
sion sefvice in cotton insect control. Ex
cellent results were obtained from t.obac
co bed spraying demonstrations for con
trol of bine mold, some 10.979 farmers
following recommendations on tobacco in
sect and disease control. More efforts
were also made by farmers generally than
ever before to control boll weevils and
much interest was also manifested in
treating cotton seed.
AMONG NEGRO FARMERS
In Peach county, James Williams, ex
negro club member who began a truck
farm under the direction of the county
agent in 1918, sold over $1,900 worth of
vegetables from his truck farm last year,

MUST CONSERVE SOIL.
Soil conservation is necessary if the
United States is to remain a nation, says
H. 11. Bennett, chief of the soil conserva
tion service. “We have seen civilization
after civilization fall because it was un
able to survive after the downfall of its
agriculture,” he asserts. “While our pres
ent soil situation is nothing to be really
alarmed about, it is not wise for us to
experiment to see if a civilization can
