Plover, lowa. —“From a small child
my 13 year old daughter had female
weakness. I spoke
to three doctors
about it and they did
not help her any.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Com
pound had been of
great benefit to me,
so I decided to have
her give it a trial.
She has taken five
bottles of the Vege
table Compound %c-
cording to directions on the bottle and
she is cured of this trouble. She was
all run down when she started taking
the Compound and her periods did not
come right. She was so poorly and
weak that I often had to help her dress
herself, but now she is regular and is
growing strong and healthy.” Mrs.
Martin llelvig, Plover, lowa.
Hundreds of sueh letters expressing
gratitude for the good Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound has accom
plished are constantly being received,
proving tho reliability of this grand old
remedy.
If you are ill do not drag along and

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, UA.
sued in connection with the depart
ment's estimates:
Virginia—There has been improvement
during the month and the crop is prac
tically all up, though the fields are un
even. The plant is smaller than usual
at this time.
North Carolina—There has been pro
nounced improvement over a month ago.
Good rains brought up practically all
cotton. Fields are uneven, but the
plants are strong and growing rapidly.
South Carolina.
South Carolina—Ail portions of the
state except the northwest, have had
bountiful rains since the middle of the
month, causing cotton not previously
germinated to come up. The stand is
practically full.
Georgia Probably twelve to fifteen
per cent of the total planted acreage,
mainly in the northwest portion, did not
come up until early In June. The re
mainder of the crop is in splendid con
dition. indications point to a large
crop.
Florida—The stands are very good in
tiie eastern counties, but. not so good in
• lie western part of the state. The
p ant is fruiting fujrly well.
Alagama.
Alabama—This state is the best fav
ored of any in the main cotton belt. The
fields are generally as well cultivated as
a garden. As a ri\le the plants are be
low the normal In size but are stocq
and full of fruit. Weevils have not yet
reached the heavy producing territory.
Miasissppi.—The month of May was
dry and cotton received a very favorabU
start. Nevertheless the threat, of dam
age fYom the boll weevil is very serious;
probably the most serious in the state’s
history.
Louisiana- Local showers during the
month helped conditions in many places
but the long drouth over much of the
northern part of the state has retarded
growth. Roll weevils are reported as
incA’e numerous than ever before at this
season. Rains have reached almost all
of the cotton belt and the plant is now
thrifty.
Texas.
Texas—lt was not possible to do much
farm work during May because of rains,
The crop became foul with weeds
Twenty-five days of almost perfect
weather conditions to about the middle
of June when timely rains fell over a
considerable area, have made a wonder
ful improvement. The crop Is three or
four weeks late, probably thirty per
cent having come up since June Ist and
this late cotton will be more than ordi
narily subject to from the sum
mer heat, insect pests, or early frosts.
Roll weevils are in evidence in the cen
tral, east and southern districts but no
damage has as yet been reported. The
leaf worm has appeared in the southern
part of the state, but Is being controlled 1
by the use of poisons.
Great Extremes.
Arkansas- The state has suffered
great extremes. The southwestern sec
tion was very wet during May but a
considerable portion has been dry most of#
May and June. Probably half of the
state received bountiful showers in June
and the crops there have made splendid
progress. Stands are irregular, hut the
plant is green and thrifty. Roll wee
vils are reported in some of the south- I
ern sections.
Tennessee—-The western part of the ‘
state has been extremely dry since early
May. Tiie crop is generally clean anil
well cultivated.
Missouri The crop is reported as best
in years.
Oklahoma— Most of the state was ex- 1
t remedy wet during May and fields were
badly washed. Much replanting was
necessary. On »n average the crop Is
two or three weeks late. Generally cot
ton has recovered very materially during
the Yiionth.
