D. 4, Roanoke, Va. "When I was just a girl of 13, my mother gave this medi cine to me, and it did me a great deal of good. I was weak and run-down. After I had taken Cardui awhile, I felt much better. **In 1924, my health was poor. I felt miserable, and hadn't enough strength to do my house work. It took all my willpower to keep up. I was pale and weak. "I got Cardui again and took it. My improvement was wonder ful. I can recommend Cardui to others, for my health was so much better after I had taken a course of the Cardui Home Treatment."

Livestock Will Help Solve Labor Problem Clemson College, March 3D.? South Carolina farmers have realized vhat hops can harvest the corn crop to a good advantage in that they do the job thoroughly and make just as much gain as if the crop had harvest ed and1 fed by hand. Hogs will, ac cording to Prof. L. V. Starkey, head of the animal husbandry division, al so harvest such crops as soybeans, peanuts, and potatoes, both sweet ?and Irish. "For more than a decade beef cat tle have been turned in the velvet Ibean fie1c!!s, where they harvest this crop and spread the manure over the soil," says Prof. Starkey. "Cattle' have also been used to good advant age in harvesting the stover after corn has been husksd or snapped from the stalk. "On one farm in Wisconsin, 8000 western lambs have harvested the, corn crop this year. Sheep have al so been used to clean, up the fence corners and glean their living from the meartows after the hav has been harvested. Livestock makes use aUo of thousands of acres of permanent pasture which is not well adapted to other punposes. "One does not have to be a very clos? observer to realize that live stock has not been given an oppor- 1 tunity to save as much labor for the South Carolina farmer as for the j Western farmer. There are many i reasons for this, but the lack of I fences is the most outstanding. If the farms in South Carolina were properly fenced, the livestock indus try would thrive. Until we get ^ fences, forage craps, and other feed \ crops, livestock cannot return its greatest profit." I FAVORS NIGHT W,ORK From The Greenville Piedmont "This question of women working at night has two ?ides", said Miss Red Cross. "In most cases where women have to work, they do so bet ter at night, especially) if children are in school. They can be at work while the children are sleeping, get sonic rest and be awake in the afternoons for leisure hours with the children. Ruling that they cannot work at night is a hardship rather than n kindness in most ictases. It is exactly right to keep children from working at night, however."

Millions More for Fewer Bales (Darlington News nnd Press) Among the numerous forms of farm relief known the best method to a chieve the purpose intended is annual ly neglected. For many years the clearly proven fact has been -demon strated that acreage reduction, dras tic acreage reduction, affords the beet possible aid to farmers. The facts have been clearly proven for decade after decade, and still the ov erproduction annually makes its ap pearance. No argument will here be advanced, but the following extract from an editorial article in the Pro gressive Farmers and Southern Rur alist affords an object lesson in the matter whiich whould be easily ap parent to all : "Chairman Legge, of the Federal Farm Board, ha? just called attention to the fact that a questionnaire was recently sent to twenty-one leading cotton buying firms of America ? firms that handle approximately half the American crop ? asking their o pinion as to what price cotton crops ranging from 10,000,000 to 16,000,000 bales would bring if produced thiu year. The average of those twenty one replies are as follow, the first ?column showing the average (farm price per pound farmers might ex pect from crops of varying sizes, and the second column the total farm va lue of the lint cro<p: Crop, Balas Price Total Value 1 16,000,000 7.30 c $552,000,000 14,000,000 K.40 c 502,200 ,000 13,000,000. . . . 10.19 c 602,360,000 12,000,000 112.30 c 733,400/K)0 11,000,000 14.61 c.... 798,050,000 10,000,000 10.49 c 824,600,000 "Think of it- -$272,000,000 more for 6,000,000 fewer bales of cotton! And all the saving in sweat, tired muscles, land-breaking, harrowing, ridlging, planting, hoeing, grass killing, weev il fighting, cotton picking, etc -and all the extra corn, meat, hay, pota toes, vegetables, etc., that we could make from the saved labor and fertil izer on 6,000,000 unneeded bales! "And yet today it is. far more likely jthat the .Southern farmer will choose J to raise 16,000,000 bales for $562,000 000 than t/hat he wiH raise 10,000,000 ' bales for $824,600,000."
