Let's Beat Our Own Best Records In 1919 I To every Southern farmer, whether large or small, white or black, landlord or tenant, we should like to say: The good name of the South? its record for enterprise, progres-1 siveness and achievement?is partly in your hands this year. The re- j cord which you make in 1919?the j record you alone, personally and in-, dividually make?will tell either for j good or evil in the whole South's agricultural standing these next ten ! years. We say this because next year is eensus year, and the crops made this year will be the ones reported in the census?and what the 1920 mxo oKnnt t>!A Smith will ^CUdUO MWWV ?..v largely determine our standing in the world for ten year's to come. Let's resolve therefore to beat our own best record in 1919. Let each State seek to outdo other States, each county other counties?and let each farmer seek to outdo his own j bestrecord and make 1919 the ban- ] ner crop year of his life. Prom 1909 to 1917 the South increased its food and feed crop acreage as follows: Corn 28 per cent; hay, 105 per cent; oata, 87 per cent; wheat, 143 per cent; potatoes, 67 per cent; and in 1918 we made an even finer record?but none of these figures have yet gone into an American census table. By what we do this year Uncle Sam stands the South up, takes its measure, and marks down the results as our offi cial census grade for tne next ten years. Big acre yields are what we should aim at with every crop. Even if cotton is 30 cents a pound there is no frofit in one-third-bale-per-arce crops, but the bale-per-acre man is practically predestined to profits from the time he plants the seed. A few years of good farming aimed at richer lands would fit the South to grow all of its present cotton crop op half the acreage, and release the other half to feed itself and its * growing flocks and herds; and while we can't get to this in this single year, let's aim at the longest stride forward it has yet made. Commercial fertilizer is high, but. judiciously used, liberal applications will still pay handsomely (it's cheaper now than hired labor), fcnd every possible ounce of barnyard and staV1 ??? mAn^c mnl/) Imvw.

Then with the best possible methods of preparation and cultivation, and with a still further stride toward making the South a real livestock section, let's go into the new crop making season with "a long pull, and a pull altogether" to make1 the South stand head of the class after Uncle Sam's 1920 census yardstick has measured all sections of America.?The Progressive Farmer.

Fire Bottles of Cardni Made Her Well Kathleen. Fla.?Mrs. Dallas Prine, of this place, says: "After the birth of my last child...I .got very much run-down and weakened, so much that I could hardly do anything at all. I was so awtuijy nervous tnat I could scarcely endure the least noise. My condition was getting worse all the time... I knew I must have some relief or 1 would soon be In the bed and in a serious condition for I felt so badly and was so nervous and weak I could hardly live. My husband asked Dr. about my taking CarduL He said, 'It's a good medicine, and good ^ for that trouble', bo he got me 5 bot- | ties...After about the second bottle I felt greatly improved.. .before taking it my limbs and hands and arms would go to sleep. After taking it, however, this poor circulation disappeared. My strength came back to me and I was soon cn the road to health. After the use of about 5 bottles, I could do all my house-work and attend to my six children besides." You can feel safe In giving Cardul a thorough trial fcr your troubles.
