"MAN FRO INIANA RESPONDS TO T CALL" H C. Millikin, of Hammond, Ind., Relates Interesting Experience. "This is no time. for slackers," writes J. C. Millikin of 1140 Monroe Street, Hammond, Ind. "A man cannot do his full part in these strenuous times unless he' is ready to go at any minute. Out hero we're working night and day and I was so overworked I felt certain I would. collapse. I needed something to build me up quickly and keep me strong for my work." " "A man who came from Birming ham told me of a natural iron medi cine that he said was wonderful in it's work." "I'll say frankly I never took a tonic before with such astonishing re stilts in so short a time. Sulferro sol actually put me on my feet and gave me new life." "For an energizing tonic that will give added strength with each dose I recommend Sulferro-Sol to every per *son young or old, who is run down or debilitated. Ask your Druggist about Sulferro Sol the remedy that heals and builds as nothing else will. Sulferro-Sol can be found at any Drug Store. If your Druggist does not have Sulferro-Sol he will order it for you. The Murray Drug Co., Columbia, State Distributors.-adv. HINTS FOR THE m HOME GARDENER The following cultural suggestions are made for the crops which may yet be planted with fair chances of success throughout most of this re gion: Beans. Plant in rows two and one-half feet part for either horse or hand culti vation, and three to four inches apart in the rows. A pint of seed is suffi cient for a hundred-foot row. Lima Beans, Pole. Plant in hills three to four feet apart for horse or hand cultivation. A half pint of seed is sufficient for a hundred-foot row. Bush limas should be planted in rows two and one-half feet apart for hand cultiva tion, or three feet apart for horse cultivation. Space the seeds six to ten inches apart in the rows. Cucumber. Plant 8 to 10 seeds in a hill, spac ing the hills 5 feet apart each way, 0 and thin to 2 or 3 plants; or sow the seed in rows four to five feet apart. When planted in rows, tne plants should be about fifteen inches apart, but the seed should be sowed much thicker, the plants thinned later. A half ounce of seed is sufficient for a hundred-foot row. Squash. The bush varieties should be plant ed in hills four feet apart each way, and the running varieties eight to ten fet apart each way. One-half ounc of seedl is sufficient for a hp dred-foot row of either the bush or running varieties. Muskmnelons. The culture of the muskmelon is the same as the cucumber except that the plants are usually given more *space. Plant eight to ten seeds in a hill, spacing the hills six feet apart each way. Another method is to sow in dIrills six feet apart and thin to single plants eighteen to twenty , four inches apart. A PAT( SoylI this year and commen the boll weevil.

Sow the seed a few inches apart. and thin the plants to 18 inches to two feet apart. Seven ounces of seed is sufficient for a hundred-foot row. - Sweet Potatoes. It is desirable to have a row or two of sweet potatoes in the home garden. Set the plants in ridges 3 to 4' feet apart. Space the plants fourteen to eighteen inches apart. About sev enty-five plants will be required -for a hundred-foot row. Brussels Sprouts. Brussels sprouts may be planted in the garden where they are to grow or in a seed bed for transplanting. They should be grown in rows at least two feet apart and about an equal distance apart in, the row. The sprouts will not appear until late fall. Leeks. Leek seed ,are planted like onion seed in drills from fifteen inches to two feet apart for hand cultivation, or two and a half feet apart for horse cultivation. The plants - should be thinned to about four inches apart in the rows. Parsley. Parsley is sown in drills. A single drill a few feet in length will be suf ficient for a family. Collards. Sow in drills eighteen inches apart for hand cultivation and thirty inches apart for horse cultivation. Thin to stand fourteen to eighteen inches apart in the row. 0 EMERGENCY FOOD MEASURES Clemson College, S. C., May 14. 1. One peck of 100-day velvet beans planted in every acre of South Caro lina corn before May 22, would re lease for human food, the entire corn crop, thus practically doubling in ef fect, the corn crop of South Carolina. 2. A row of early maturing bunch variety of cow peas planted between each row of corn, even though velvet beans be planted in corn rows, would produce 10,000,000 bushels of peas for human food and greatly cut down the necessity for costly meat diets. 3. Lima beans planted beside all fences and in fence corners, would yield in dry beans enough to largely eliminate our importation of such products. 4. Corn field beans planted be ,ween the hills of corn on the richest lands would yield in dry beans for winter use, thousands of bushels in each county. 5. Stubble lands may be planted, >r sowvn to cowv pease of the Iron or Brabhami variety, the tlrst maturing peas picked and threshed and the 'ines nmowved at once for hay. 6.

A few old flour or lime barrels with holes bored in the bottom and sunk in a backyard, may be filled with rich earth and compost or high-grade fertilizers, planted to cucumbers or Irish potatoes, and a tub of water set near with an ol piece of rope with one end in the water and the other end at the root of plants, can be made to resist any drought and pro duce a wonderful- supply of vege tables. Plant the potatoes in the bottom of the barrel in soil 6 inches deep. When potatoes are 6 inches high, cover with rich soil to within one inch of top of plants. Repeat this until barrel is full of soil. - 0 BAGGING GRAPES Clemson College, S. C., May 1. While it is not profitable to bag in a commercial vineyard, it will al ways prove successful in a home vineyard. By bagging the ripening period can be held back for two weeks. Besides, when grapes are thoroughly sprayed and bags put o nimmediate ly, there is not so much danger of rotting. Bagging keeps birds and bees from injuring the grapes. There fore, more perfect bunches are pro duced. SEE OR WRI'E US FOR Selel loll Pah ea s of anything in the line of Presents for Wedldings, Personal Gifts or your Owvn Use.
