THE McDUFFIE PROGRESS,
THOMSON, GA.
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.
Those planting vetch should call for

ial discount, and those needing it can

cient to treat 50 pounds seed.
potato is not matured ^sufficiently.
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.

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

a potato. If the exposed surfaces

RESULTS.
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

bushels per acre, while that from
Fulcaster was 16.7 bushels per acre.
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.

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.

Get Rid of That
Backache!
Thomson People Point the Way.
The constant aching of a bad back,
The weariness, the tired feeling;
Headaches, dizziness, nervousness,
Distressing urinary disorders—
Are often signs of failing kidneys
And too serious to be neglected.
Get rid of these troubles!
Use Doan’s Pills—a stimulant diu
retic to kidneys.
Hosts of people recommend Doan’s.
This is a Thomson case.
You can verify it.
J. H. Crawley, Mill section, propr.
grocery store says: “I strained my
back and kidneys doing heavy lifting.
Backaches were frequent and a sharp
pain in my kidneys almost put me
down on the floor. My kidneys acted
iiregularly and, at times, the kidney
secretions burned in passage. After
using Doan’s Pills I felt much better.
If my back gets a little sore or my
kidneys act irregularly I take Doan’s
and always get relief.”
