I TUKSDA*, OCT. 24, J916 h'ARM CHANGES FOR BOLL WEEVIL [tfiidjustnienl Requires Careful Planing to He Safe. Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia . . State College of Agriculture. Any system of safe farming, unier boll weevil conditions should provide that cultivated area of the farm should be so divided as to grow enough corn to provide for 'amily and the live stofk throughout the year. The area will vary with the fertility of the land, but on a two-horse farm not less than ten, or, better still, twenty acres of land should be devoted to this crop. tCnough land should be devoted to pats and small grains to meet home requirements. If the oats are propertly handled they will provide some grazing. A great variety of hay and forageproducing crops can be grown successfully after oats, but it is important to remember that the cultivation of legumes should be em phasized because of their ability to gather nitrogen from the air. Certainly, the farmer should provide all the meat needed for his family.. There is no reason why two to six brood sows should not T>e maintained on the average twohorse farm. Grazing crops should be depended on to provide the food needed for the growth and fattening of young pigs. They can be hardened off with a little corn in the fall and a very choice quality of meat obtained. A small flock of hens will provide all the eggs needed and leave a surplus for sale. Probably no class of meat is in greater demand in towns and cities than chickens. tBvcry wise farmer will keep at least two cows so that his family will be supplied with an abundance of milk and butter at all seasons of the year. Then if he will keep a couple of brood mares and raise a colt or two each year, he can maintain his work stock on an efficient basis. Next the farmer should provide a garden. A half acre of land will produce all the vegetables which a family of six can possibly eat, and if a proper rotation is established and the garden well fertilized and handled, fresh vegetables may be had at almost any season of the year There is probably no section whict will produce a greater variety ol vegetables with greater ease thar the southeastern States, and yet th( garden is neglected, because it: value is not appreciated and its in fluence on the healtu of the familj not understood. After having accomplished th< foregoing, the farmer should de vine a reusonaoie area or rus land to the cultivation of cotton, as his main money crop. If this plan is followed, a system of safe farming will have been established throughout the South.

Constipation, or inaction of the bowels, a condition that nearly everone experiences with more or less frequency, is the direct cause of much disease. When the bowels become clogged with refuse from the stomach, foul gases and poisons are generated, and unless the congestion Is quickly relieved the system be comes weaseneu ana most susceptible to attack. Various remedies to relieve constipation are prescribed, but many of these contain cathartic or purgative agents that are harsh and violent in their action and shock the system. The most effective remedy is the combination of simple laxative herbs cc with pepsin that is sold in drug 01 stores under the name of Dr. Cald- is well's Syrup Pepsin. m The Hon. John 1).
