NOTES FROM THE COUNTY AGENT SEED CORN. Now is a good time to speak for seed corn another year. Last year several farmers ordered good seed corn from the college of agriculture. There should be enough grown from this to supply a large acreage next year with some of the purest of Whatley’s Prolific Corn. Those who planted pure Whatley’s Prolific last year are: Eulond Clary, S. S. Ruark, C M. Blanchard, A T. Luckey, W. S. Mobley, S. F. Duna way, G. F. Rogers. Mr. J. C. Dunn ordered Hasting’s Prolific direct from the farm. VETCH INOCULATION. The county agent has arranged to handle inoculation for farmers plant ing vetch. He has a shipment of “Farmogerm” on hand at the office.

If, on the other hand the wounds dry and heal over within a few minutes, the potato is matured enough for storage. To get the average matur ity, make several such tests over the field at different places. Another in dication of maturity of the sweet po tato is the yellowing of the vines late in the season. The sweet potato is very easily in jured by frost and there is a serious danger of injury if frost bitten vines are allowed to remain on the field any length of time. The injured vines should be removed immediate ly and harvesting of the potatoes begun. The delay of digging after frost will damage the keeping qual ity of the potatoes in storage. When potatoes are matured the best time to harvest is during dry weather. At digging time the po tatoes contain an excess amount of moisture and if the potatoes are dug during dry weather they will go into the house free from "dirt and with a smooth surface with pores open. If dug during wet weather it will be CHICKEN SALE. Our next chicken sale should be a good one. Prices have already be gun to soar as result of hen and fryer shortage and coming sales. Chickens are selling in Augusta; hens, 25c; fryers, 30c per pound. How about those loafing hens ? Now is time to get a watch on the old ones and cull out the slackers. J. L. Lokey has March pullets laying now. Why not begin feeding your hens a balanced ration? Eggs are 40c in Thomson and will continue to be for several months. Make your pullets lay now when they will give a profit. It can be done by proper attention to feeds and handling. difficult to drive off the extra amount o fwater and during the curing pro cess the moisture is thrown off by sweating which is not a normal pro cess of curing. Under such condi tions fungus diseases have an ideal opportunity for devdlopment.—Geo. H. Firir, Field Agent in Horticulture, Georgia State College of Agriculture. SEED GRAINS EARLY FOR BEST POTATO CROP SHOULD BE HAR VESTED IN DRY WEATHER. To facilitate the proper storage of sweet potatoes it is necessary that the potatoes be matured before dig ging. This can be tested by breaking a potato. If the exposed surfaces continue to uow the milky sap, the Good Thiug - DON’T MISS IT.

Experiments at the Georgia State College of Agriculture for the past eight years, and at the Costal Plain Experiment Station for four years show conclusively that early seedings of wheat and oats give much better yields than late seedings. In north Georgia October 15th plantings gave best results on both wheat and oats, i whereas November 1st seedings yielded highest in south Georgia. I At the Steae College of Agricul ture Station at Athens, the average yield of Appier oats from 1915 through 1923 when sown October 15th was 47.3 bushels per acre, and on November 15th, 19.5 bushels per acre; the yield of Fulghum oats, sown October l5£h was 45.9 bushels per acre, November 15th, 18.5 bush els per acre. The increase from I early seedings of Appier oats was 27.8 bushels per acre, and Fulghum 27.5 bushels per acre. For the same period the yield of Georgia Red wheat from October 15th was 31.5 bushels per acre, and from November 15th, 17.2 bushels per acre. The October 15th seeding of Fulcaster gave a yield of 30.5 bushels per acre, while that sown on November 15th yielded 14.8 bushels per acre. The increase from the early seeding of Georgia Red was 14.3 EAT AT Schneider’s Restaurant Regular Dinner 50c Plate Lunch 25c Short Orders served from 5 A. M. to 10 P. M. R. E.

Fulghum oats sown at the Coastal Plain Experiment Station at Tifton have given a yield of 29 bushels per acre when sown on November 1st. October 15th seeding yielded 18 bushels per acre, and November 16th 24.6 bushels per acre. Appier oats sown on November 1st yielded 35 bushels per acre, October 15th, 28 bushels per acre, and November 15th, 27.9 bushels per acre. SMALL GRAINS SHOULD BE TREATED FOR SMUT. The following method of treating small grains to kill smut spores is recommended: Make up a solution of one pint of liquid formaldehyde and forty gal lons of water, or if a smaller quan tity is desired, one liquid ounce of formaldehyde and two and one-half gallons of water. The formaldehyde may be purchased at almost any drug store. Spread the grain on the floor and sprinkle with the above solution. After it is thoroughly moistened, rake into piles and cover with bags or canvas. Allow the grain to re main in covered piles six to eight hours. Spread out to dry and sow when convenient. PINE GROVE NEWS By Kiddie. Well, as Kiddie has been very busy studying since school started, haven’t had very much time to write. Messrs. Ollie and Forest McDon ald, Mr. and Mrs. Claude McDonald and Miss Nellie McDonald attended the tent meeting in Thomson Thurs day night. Messrs. Ras Morris, Joe Stockton and Rev. Paul V. Berry were the din ner guests of Mr. C. W. McDonald Sunday. Mrs. Charlie Reese, Mrs. Joe Reese and son and daughtei-, Tommie and Maggie, and Mrs. Jeff. Young spent Saturday afternoon with Mrs. C. W. McDonald. SEVERE CRAMPING SPELLS, PAINS IN BACK AND SIDES “My trouble has been periodic cramping spells,” says Mrs. C. C. Draper, of Atlanta, Texas. “For several years these have come on me so bad that I had to quit my work and go to bed. Every imonth I would stay in bed from one to two days. The pains in imy back and sides were awful. “This went on for several months after I was married un til, one time when I was having & bad spell, my husband sug- r ested that I try Cardui. I said would try it, r.o he got me a bottle at the store and I began to take it. “It seemed like I improved from the very first dose. When I had taken one bottle I was very much better. I did not cramp so hard the next month and I ate and slept better. I was not near- V so nervous, either. I thought Cardui was fine, so I continued the treatment until I had taken five bottles, at which time I felt completely well. I had no more cramping spells at all, and my health was as good as anybody's. I am feeling fine now and I give all the credit to Cardui, for I had been suffering for years be fore I took it.” Cardui is a vegetable extract, con taining no harmful ingredients. It is made from mild-acting medicinal herbs with a gentle, tonic, strengthening ef fect upon certain female organs and ipon the system in general. Its users •.ave testified to its special value at the time of entering womanhood at aaturity and at the time of the change of life. For over 40 years, Cardui has been tested in use by thousands of women who have written to tell of the great benefit they have received from it. For over 600 years, medical authori ties have recommended one of the principal ingredients of Cardui in the treatment of certain female com plaints. Cardui, the woman’s tonic, tested by time, is today the product of many years of experience and investigation. 7t is manufactured in up-to-date labo ratories by the most modern wid sanitary methods of pharmaceutical science and is for sale by all drug gists. 193 Messrs. Forest McDonald and Frank Kent made a trip to Augusta to see “The Covered Wagon” at the Modjeska Monday night. Messrs. Jack and Henry Reese visited Mitchell Saturday night.
