PETERSBURG WOMAN TELLS HOW DRECO CURED ECZEMA Had Spent Hundreds of Dollars, Without Sucess, in an Effort to fm* It. Until She Took DRECO. Miss Daisy Ferguson of 70 Ballingbrook, Petersburg, Va., says: "I had suffered awfully for seven j years with eczema on my neck and in | my head. I had spent several hun * m f dred dollars in an effort to cure it,' but without success. I have now ta-1 ken three bottles of Dreco, and since! taking it the eczema is drying up,1 the redness is going away and it is better than at any time before. It is practically well, but I am still taking Dreco because I fel sure it is going to take it away entirely." Dreco is pleasant to take and relieves rheumatism, cleanses the blood regulates the bowels, overcomes constipation, acts on the liver and kid- j neys, and is for skin troubles, such as eczema, saurvy, boils and pimples. Dreco is made from juices and extracts of many medicinal herbal plants which act on the vital organs, in a pleasant and prompt manner. Dreco is highly recommended in Abbeville by P. B.

Seven Counties in South Carolina will have expert cotton graders during the coming season; namely, Anderson, Clarendon, Darlington, Sumter, Greenwood, Laurens, and Or angeburg. This cotton grading work is financed jointly by the Extension"5, Service, the United States Department of Agriculture, and the individual counties, and is under the administrative direction of Ci-;tv?son College. The graders are scieete3 bv the Bureaa of Ma* t:cs of t? v Ui-ited Sta <;&> I ;>pa? i.ient of Agri cu'ture from peneo .*.1 men and are given technical instruction by the Bureau of Markets. This is a disinterested classing service, and it is hoped thai it will help to reduce the difference between the prices pa i io y.Hcii by the mills and the prices received by the farmers. It should enable the farmer to know the value of his cotton and to realize that value more fully. In this connection it is interesting to note that studies made in North Carolina have shown that the average cotton mill paid about SI 1.50 per bale more than the farmer re ceived.for the same class of cotton. It was estimated that 50 points, or $2.5G^per bale, would amply meet the cost of freight and othe- legitimate charges in sending the cotton to the mills. The employment of expert cotton graders should help to save for the farmers at least a considerable part of the remaining $9 perbateT^ Department Circular 66, of the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, entitled "Suggested Improvements in Methods of Selling Cotton by Farmers," contains some interesting facts and figures on this subject. It may be had from the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. JOHNSON MAKES GRAVE CHARGES Indianapolis, Sept. 12.?Senator Hiram W. Johnson of California, continuing his speech making campaign in the Middle West in opposition to the ratification of the league of nations covenant, in an address here tonight declared that if responsibility for the high cost of living rests upon any agency or man, it rests upon the present national administration and Woodrow Wilson. "President Wilson adds to his fearsome harsh names, applies to our material interests and even taxes the two months that the league and treaty have been before the American E>eople, and senate with the high cost ?f living,said Senator Johnson. "He conveniently forgets the eight months he spent abroad, secretly pledging our resources and our man power to European and Asiatic governments. The two months of dis:ussion by our people and our senate in the open of what he discusesd serrr men Four Stc | YOU] I You're p this fall; : I Tl jcretly for eight months has had of I course no bearing upon, and the reajsonable discussion in the future can I not possibly affect the high cost of j living. If any single individual can ! be charged with responsibility for the high cost of living that man is Woodrow Wilson. The living costs in I December and January last were sub-1 stantially what they are today. Mr.! Wilson then had exactly the same laws he now invokes. He had neither time nor inclination to deal with a problem then practically ai> acute a:; i it is now. He never even touched I the subject, except patronizingly and as an ephemeral ill of no conse-j . quence or importance. He makes its , solution depend now upon the imme-j , diate ratification of his treaty. Hej would frighten us by a cheap and , j specious statement, devoid of econol|my, logic and wanting in any . sound j reason. He covers his own derelec.! tion by an unfounded counter charge ,;Remember his address to Congress,' I December 2 last. | " , i | "ine momenrvt' Knew tne armis: tice to have been signed, we took the harness off. It is surprising how fast the process of returning to a peace fopting has moved in the three i weeks since fighting stopped." His idea of reconstruction then was, it: will not be easy to direct it any bet-' ter than it will direct itself. When he had ample time for action last December and might have prevented the subsequent continuance of high prices these are his words: 'Our people do not wait to be coached and led. Any leading strings we might seek to put them in would speedily become hopelessly entangled, because they would pay no attention to I them and go tlieir own way. The ' American business man is of quick initiative.' At that time we had a competent federal food administra-j tion, completely organized through-! out the nation. Mr. Wilson deliber-j ately scrapped this vast organiza-: tion, which might have remoyed a nr? *>4 n 4* 1 /\a rii- A^ It r?1 paxu, ai icaov, ui iuc wiuoco vi 11151 prices. Now, months aftor he has dismissed the federal and State agencies, he is calling them together again to deal with the question. The ratification of the treaty may increase exports, but Increase in exports will not reduce prices at hom If responsibility for the high cost of ' living rests upon any agency or man,'it rests upon the present administration or Wood row Wilson." CROP ESTIMATES. The government report issued to lay by B. B Hare, Sou'.n CareUni Hf?To Agent of the Uniteu Str.tr* I'c oartClient of ArTicuitur*. snows trac was a detl'ne cf 1 'jkt cent in condition of both cotton and corn from July 25, to Augus' 25. Cotton deciined from 71 to 67 per cent in South Carolitri and corn from SO to 76 per cent. The deterorntfon in condition of both Is attnbu^d almost wholly to excessive rains daring the latter part of July and the first two J weeks of August. The boll weerfl,| OSENBERG PEP/ >res R MONEY retty sure you're you're not so cert fou Can Be 3er Cent Sur le Rosenbe of course, is doing considerable damage to cotton in the extreme southern counties. It appears from the table beiow that, the western and central counties suffered more severely from the ex cessive rams than did the eastern and northwestern counties, the condition of both cotton and corn being much better in the Pee Dee and PiedI mont counties than in other sections j of the State. The forecast of production of cot! ton in South Carolina will approximate 1,160,000 bales. Of course, the final out-turn will be larger or smaller than this amount as weather conditions hereafter are better or worse than average conditions. The abanj doned acreage of cotton since June l 25, according to reports made by correspondents and from personal observation of the Field Agent, will not exceed 2 per cent. x The corn crop for the State will be [smaller than usual, the condition in j spme localities being very good while I in others it is very, very poor. The abandoned acreage in the State will be at least 10 per cent, the most of which is confined to late plantings. The estimated production for the entire United States is 2,858,000,000 bushels, which is approximately 275,000,000 bushels, more than the estimated production in 1918. Cowpeas an? pea vine hay are the best for years but the acreage is much smaller than usual, the seed at planting time being very scarce and unusually high priced. Estimates show that there is a 5 per cent ' increase in the number of fattening hogs in the State at this\time over that of last year.

Clemson College, September 12.? Probably the most important -reason why more eggs are not produced in South Carolina is the overfeeding of corn. The fowls are frequently kept in unsanitary, mite-infested houses, jor roost in the trees, or the flock j contains so many different kinds and | ages of chickens it is impossible to feed or manage them intelligently. These unfavorable conditions should be remedied, says Prof. F. C. Hare, of the Poultry Division, who makes the following suggestions. There is one constituent of food that has an important < {rearing on egg production and the development of chicks. It is called protein, and from it is made the flesh, feathers, blood, and the whites of the eggs. If less than 15 percent of protein is ! present in the ration, the (hens lay ifew eggs, while the biddies ate ! . . < I 11 3 Jl. stunted, oecome stupid, ana aie. i * ' Corn or hominy contains only a little over 10 per cent of protein, so that unless the poultry can supplement their supply/){ this constituent from bugs, worms, or meat found on the range, we should provide the hens and dticks with foods that contain more protein? This is exactly where many persons fail with poultry; they feed their fowls in the winter, when there are no bugs, the same as in the spring, when there are insects everywhere. ' Buttermilk and Corn.?Where buttermilk or thick, sour milk, is available, the simplest'and best way to provide the needed protein and balance the ration, is.to give the layers and growing chickens alf the butter* milk they* can drink. Feed whole or cracked corn once dally in warm weather, and twice daily in cold M liana MHM ftlWITlH the male lots and pick up- waste food, omit the feeding of grain? simply patting oat pant of batter* milk. ^ All Grain Ration.?A balanced ration for laying bens can be secured by feeding twice daily equal parts by weight of corn, peas, and oats. This food will produce eggs in win* ter from well matured pallets. Middlings and Corn?Another simple method for/ obtaining eggs in winter is to feei wheat bran and 'middlings mixed with water each | morning, and t? feed corn at night TIIF row 1 ttili vvriTi 1RES= = * Buy in Clothes 1 *ood price for cl /ill be as good as fhis store; you'll get H: ' & Marx clothes; all wo laranteed; as goo das ev ney back if you think y your money's worth.
