Bigger Yields
A given number of acres fertilized with Farmers' Bone produce a
greater yield of cotton, than the same acreage with ordinary fertilizer,
ft Farmers' Bone does more than that. It makes it possible to reduce
the acreage and increase the yield. Try it this year. The man

does not think that the duties of the
day are over until she has had a talk
over the phone with Mr. Dutfy, who
knows the inner workings of every
school in the county.
This happy state ot' affairs lias not
been brought about without a
struggle on the part of the
sive citizens. A number of the old
timers, who “love things as they
were afore the war” opposed the new
order of things, especially local taxa
tion, but we have carried 7 districts,
and I believe that in another year
every district in the county will go
for file local tax.
But considered only mini a mate
rial point of view, this new order of
things has enhanced the value oi

miles from McDonough will bring
