M. every Tuesday Night AS LONG AS WE LIVE Mr. and Mr*. Oliver Rate*, Route 1, Pitgah forest, N. C., tell how they were helped by Seaif's Indian River Medicine. Mrs. Reece declares: "for two years I suf fered from spelts of stomach mis ery so bad that I couldn't sleep and didn't feel able to work; feit tired, weak, nervous. I tried many treatments and medicines with very little benefit. The very first bottle of Scalf's relieved my stom ach pains, four bottles mode me feel like « new person. I eat heartily now, sleep well and hove more pep and anorgy to work. I wish overyono who suffore from gassy stomart* misery would try fcglf's. "I got my husband to start on Scalf's, too, and now ho is a great booster for this flna stomach tonic. My husband and I will p r • i s a Scalf's as long os wo tivo. n Mr. Rooco soys: "for twonty years I suffered from hod tpeUs of painful, smothering, gassy stomach trouble. Ivory thing I ate seemed to create got on my stomach which often caused mo to fool so miserable I couldn't sloop at night and got up morn ings fooling as tired as whan I retired. Serif's Indian River Mod*- cine brought mo wonderful relief. I oat heartily with no worry about stomach misery and I sloop I night and got up mornings fee ing fresh and rested. I praise Scalf's to everybody." Scalf's Indian River Medicine is a purely herbal stomach tonic c;.d has boon tested over a mdlion times. If yea suffer like Mr. and Mrs. Rooco did, hu alt moons try Self's. You cai& losu because the very first buffle must satisfy or your muney buck. Don't ex cept a substitute, Mr. Mad Mrs. Rooco didn't. Thera's nothing also Mho Scalf's Indian River Medicine. Regular S o 111 a $Y.2S ft lOtfle treatn’e.it SS 7i. O-t yeur s.iu # g.st t**«y. it 8 1 I B I # t: t: i i :: bit about irrigation. Fanners over a |> wide area were looking longingly into the stern blue skies, as their'g bare soils parched and their crops ’ wilted. 8 The county agent over there was g on the program with me. He told me & that almost in sight of the station || I there one of their farmers was irri- $ j gating his pasture then. So we went i to see it after the broadcast. There we saw a tine herd of Jer- g sey cattle. The owner, M. H. Bay- g singer, said he didn’t see how he jJ ; ever farmed without his irrigation £ 1 outfit that he is now entering the S third year with. ; g While the warm wind was blow ing, parching unwatered things into complete submission, his small irri gation outfit was putting two inches of water on a little over an acre of his grazing every three hours. He 1 said three gallons of gasoline ran the engine for just about three hours, and in that time it put on that ! amount of water, which was just 'what he wanted. And then two men i could move the pipe in a very few minutes to another spot, put three gallons of fuel in the tank, and go on about their business for another three hours until the engine stopped and that was watered. Last year he said he got nine tons of very fine alfalfa hay from his acre-and-a-quarter field. He watered it when it needed it and he cut it every 28 days five times. He said if he had to do away with anything, he’d do away with his cows first, as much as he liked them, before he would his irrigation outfit. I was with County Agent Cannon of Laurens a few days after that. He said two of his dairymen were figur ing right then with the irrigation folks on systems for their farms. . Irrigation just about insures big yields of whatever we are growing. We know well how to plant, ferti lize, and work a crop for big yields. And we get it, if the water comes. But all too often it doesn’t come at the right time. Folks are starting to blot out that great uncertainty by plucking the needed showers from the running streams and sprinkling them upon the crops that thirst. The "Camp Irrigation Fund” has purchased a small portable irrigation outfit and a truck with which the i extension service is this summer ! putting on a few well placed irriga- ! tion demonstrations'" on different crops over the state. The plan is to stay with these clear through and keep costs. Then we will have some-, thing definite to point to in this com-! ing irrigation thing. A few farmers; jin most counties are starting with 1 it too, the county agents tell me. We 1 will have the information developed j ! by these too. Then soon this irriga- j tion matter should begin to really I roll in our midst. Savings Accounts 3%—DIVIDEND—3% We invite savings accounts from the people of Clinton and vicinity.

C. « « * I Sharecropping With Dairy Cows A group of Chester folks went to Starkville, Miss., to study sharecrop- 1 pmg in the dairy business. Chester ■ already had a bit of it, according to' County Agent Wylie, but they were! interested in seeing it in a bigger' way. They founcLit working well in! the StarkvillV*a?ea and plan to ex tend it in Chester county. In this way the tenants too can participate! in the dairy aw’akening that has come; to our land of the Guernsey there around Chester. Fairfield, too, is] sharecropping some with dairy cows Killing Rats and Mice County Agent Shelley, of Barn well, put out over a ton of poisoned grain to kill mice in the melon and cucumber fields. , And up in Chesterfield, County Agent Willis put out a thousand pounds of rat bait with farmers in their annual rat-killing campaign. “Excellent results were reported from all parts of the county,” he says. Poison in Fertilizer I have told you of County Agent J Hubbard’s pioneering with the use j of poison in fertilizers for killing certain bothersome ground insects. Of this year, he says, “A large ton nage of fertilizer conUining chlor- dane has been used this season to control wi reworms and southern corn rootworms. Many farmers arre using this fertilizer under all the corn they plant.” .
