Itching Was Intense—Sleep Was Of

“At first an eruption of small pustules
commenced on my hands. These spread
later to other parts of my body, and the
itching at times was intense, so much so
that I literally tore the skin off in shreds
in seeking relief. The awful itching inter
fered with my work considerably, and also
kept me awake nights. 1 tried several doc
tors and also used a number of different
ointments and lotions but received prac
tically no benefit. Finally T settled down
to the use of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint

that in a few days all itching had ceased
and in about three weeks’ time all traces

CONDITION OF CROPS
Commissioner of Agriculture
Hudson Discusses Outlook.
South Georgia Conditions Are More Fa
vorable Than Those of the Northern
Section of the State.
Allanta, Ga.—Georgia crop condi
tions are just now the subject of much
interest and some little concern,
May weather conditions have been
bad, particularly for cotton, and the
coming crop report of the department
of agriculture will be awaited with
no little anxiety.
General conditions here and thera
over the state are pretty well known,
but in the crop report the depart
ment will go into the minute details
of the situation based upon averages
from almost every militia district in
the state.
Discussing cond:tions as he has
ceon them in going about the state,
Coimmissioner of Agriculture T. G.
lHudson said:
“The unusually cocl nights which
have prevailed during May have un
doubtedly had the effect of stunting
the growth of cotton, and this is a
condition which has prevailed not
alepe in the, higher altitudes, but
throughout the entire state. Recent
heavy rains, too, have caused heavy
srowth of grass which has materially
interfered.
“Altogether there is no doubt in
my mind that the cotton crop will
be short this year, with better prices
for the farmers. This opinion is based
not alone on the weather; there are
other grounds for it, chief of which
is the reduced acreage as a result of
the more widespread planting of grain
erops. Georgia has some of the finest
arain crops the state has ever known.
There is no question that increasea
grain production has withdrawn some
what from the attention generally
given to cotton.”
Discussing general conditions, As
sistant Commissioner of Agriculture
R. F. Wright said:
“l am quite familiar with conditions
in the northern section of the state
as a result of my own observations.
In the northern section the wheat 18
fine and the yield will be 40 to 75
per cent more than in any recent
vear. Practically the same may be
said of oats, 5
“Attention to theze grain crops has
resulted in a reduced catton acreage
in that section, in addition to which
the weather conditions in north and
middle Georgia nave been quite un
favorable to the development of the
cotton plant. Cool nights and rains
during May have deprived the young
cotton of the warmth and sunshine
which it so much needs. It is now
June and we have had so far only
one or two favorable nights.
“The result is, cotton is from two
to three weeks backward over most
of the state, and the outlook is far
from promising. South Georgia con
ditions have bheen somewhat more fa
vorable on account of the absence of
s 0 much rain, but in that section, too,
there has been a large increase in
grain crops which is bound to have
its effeet.”

The Steamboat Whistle,
Have you ever vondered what
sounds travel the fa thest? If you
live in a great city you are constantly
enveloped in such a multitude of
noises that it is veryv seldom that
any particular one uitracts the atten
tion unless it be unusually sharp or
strident, and although piercing, such
a sound is not likely to carry any
great distance. The higher notes are
exceedingly penetrating for a short
radius, and unguestionably more
startling than the lower ones, but the
latter are much more far-feaching.
The ability of a sound to carry de
pends upon its vibrations, and any
one who has listened to the deep
notes of a pipe organ in a ¢hurch will
admit that he oould almost feel the
air vibrate. But probably a steamboat
whistle, suck ag are common on the
Ohio and Mississippi packets, can be
heard as far as any sound that may
ordinarily be met with. The deep
resonance of its tonés, floating steadily
out into tte air, seem to stretch away
indefinitely into space, especially in
the stillress of a night in the coun
try. It is a sound that can not be
mistaken for any other, and when
once ity acquaintance has been mad:
vou will never forget it.—Harper’s
Weekl. \
" Couldn’t Catch Him.
A young country chap once got a 3

ow. accordingly for joshers.
A sober old maid entered the groc

“] want some bird seed, please,”

During the ercampment of several

for cooking purposes were carted by
the neighboring farmers. One day a
.donkey cartful of turf was brought
in, the driver being a country lad.
As a regimental band was playing he
stood in front of the donkey and held
the animal tightly by the head. Some
of the “smart ones” gathered reound,
highly pleased, and the wit of the
party asked why he “held his brother
so tightly.”
