Where a rotation of cotton, small s 0 ij Conservation. Service,
grain and lespedeza on a three year
basis was used, only 9.5 per cent of
the rain fall ran off and 2.75 tons
of soil was lost per acre.
What is the difference? In the ro
tation 11.9 per cent more water was
held on the land. •17.72 less-tons of
soil was lost. ~
Aside from the conservation of
soil and water, applied fertilizer
was conserved, organic matter was
conserved, and " the structure and
physical condition of the soil was
improved. All these factors reflect,
as stated above, in increased crop
yields per acre and the economic
production of crops.

Your
Prescription
Druggist
If you were to ask the friend
ly pharmacist at Howard's Rex-
all Drue Store whether you,
should take some of that medi
cine he prepared for “Uncle
Charlie” a few years ago, you
know what his answer would
be . . . “Don’t!” It is equally
important that you avoid tak
ing medicines that have been
in your medicine cabinet for
any lengthy period, even
though such prescriptions were
originally compounded for your
use. Medicines prescribed by
your doctor for a specific ill
ness should be used only ac
cording to directions ... at the
time of that illness only. Old
medicines mav be ineffectual,
for time robs certain drugs and
pharmaceuticals of their pot
ency . . . makes others actually
dangerous. To be on the safe
side, always consult your doc
tor first, and then rely on How
ard's Rexall Drug Store, on the
square Jn Clinton, to give
prompt, accurate service in
compounding such prescrip-
tions as he may prescribe.
