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.

DANCING 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.
