Says Calomel Salivates and Loosens Teeth-,4 The Very Next Dose of this Treacherous Drug may Start Trouble You know what calomel is. It's muer cury; quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous, lt crashes. into sour bile like dynamnite. enmping and sickening you. CalonIel attacks the bones and should never be put into your systent. If you feel bilious, headachy, consti pated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a~ bottle of Dod son's Liver Tone for a few cents which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calonmel. Take a spoonful and if it dloesn't start your liver and straighten yout up better and quicker than nasty calonmel and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money. Don't take calomelt It makes yen sick the next (lay; it loses you a day's work. Dodeon's Liver Tone straightens you right up and you feel great. No salts necessary.

Loss of $20 to $25 a liale. Florence, Sept. 28.-AVith middling 2otton bringing around twenty cents t1 pound the faismer loses $20 to $25 a bale, United- States Senator 1. D. 3mith, South Carolina, declared here today, in discussing production cost 111d statistics compiled, he said, by lopartment of agriculture exiperts. The -figures show that the average 'ost of producing a pound of lint cot on this year, basing the average pro luction at 200 pound per acre, nyhich Ahe senator declares Is a gener . al lowance and one that will scarcely be reached, is twenty-two cents a )ound. In arriving at this cost the depart uent experts have not Included the ncreased cost of producing cotton un ier boll weevil conditions, that they laven't fIgured In the cost of picking LIp squares, extra cultivation and poisoning. When this adidtional cost is added, say's -Senator Smith, the to al average cost -will amount to 24 to 15,cents a pound. This, bear in mind, based on tile production or as mullch as 200 pounds to the acre. "It requires but a simple calcula ion," declared Senator Smith, "to see bhat tMhe cotton produced this year Is elling at below the cost of produc lion, netting a loss of from $20 to $25 Dn every bale that is grown in the grtat cotton producing 'belt. The ligures are as astounding as *they are riarming," *declared Senator Smith. "The table as prepared by the de partment puts the cost of growing a pound of cotton in 1922 at 22 cents,' laid the Senator. "So it awpears, ac lording to tile official report or the lepartment, that even where 20( pounds of lint to tile acre is made, It cost 22 cents a pound, and I think my abservations have been reasonably ac curate, and my estimate conservative w'hen I say that the average yield per acre in South Carolina, under bol weevil conditions, will scarcely reach 100 pounds. "Therefore, at the present for mid dling cotton, the cotton produced In South ICarolina, and sold at presen1 prices, is, according to department's own figures, sold below the cost of prodittion-for the reason that a larg< per cent of cotton mado and sold un der boll weevil conditions is below middling and yet it costs as much to grow a pound of good ordinary,'which Is from three to four cents a Ipound under middling, as it does to grow In'iddling. Strict good ordinary, low middling, and strict lo.w, middling fron one-half cent to two cents a pound ie per cent of the crop that is belov, niddling will at least average one-half rherefore, when the average grades are taken into consideration, the farm er will get less than the indicated av erage price for the reason the grades above middling do not increase in price as the grades below middling de crease In price, as compared with iniddling. "As middling cotton is now brinlg Ing around twenty cents a pound, the average run of gr'ades of tile average farm would bring albout 18 cents, s< that cotton that is costing from 22 t< 24 cents a pound to make, Is bringing 18 cents, a net loss of from $20 t< $25 a bale. KILL 1928 WEEVILS NOW Iy Destroying Cotton Stalks Early Weevils Starve inI Winter, (Q0. A, 'Whittle, Soil Imp~rovement Comn mitatee) One of the most effective steps It boll weevil conltrol is tihe ear'ly de struction of cotton stalks. Just af soon1 as thle cottonl can be harvested go inito the cottonl fIeld and eitter turlI tmlder the clottonl stalks 01' rip then tII) withl a plo0w. Thie ob~jc~t Is to de. ltroW tile cotton plants. WVeevils can not feed on- dlead cot. ton stalks. When their food is dec stroycd thely mIgrate to where' thte) can feed or else go Into winlter (quar' Lers. Whether thley arec thusi driver iway from your farm or driven int< wY ilter qu~arters the !probabi'lit ies o1 heir damaging you againl next scasos lre greatily reduced. Over most of the cotton belt It la possible to gathler the cotton eali >nouigh to permit of the1 destrulctiofl >f the cotton stalks thlree to foul weeks before a killing frost will de Itroy them) Trhree to foulr weeks carlier in going Into winlter quartert nleanls that death of weevils fron starvation and cold wvill be greatly increased. It Is thle last weevils that go lnt< vinter qularters that csuse damage Is the cotton crop the next year. If at of tyhlese ,wer'e starved out by destroy. Ing cotton stalks early there would, o, course,'be ani end of the weevil. Whi< one can not expect th'at c'otton' wil ever be destroyed early and complete ly- enough to acomplish a comnplet oradicqdton -of 'the weevil, it Is tru a te oX nt thiat this !# done- th iax$ei 940.weov[! atid teit da id weevil can feed. Therefore, the only safe way is to uproot the stalks or else, with the aid of a drag chain, to turn theim comp'letely under the fur row slice. Knowing that many cotton farmers (o not iplow deop enough to cover up cotton stalks, the safest general ad vise is to uproot the stalks with a plow and to watch that no new growth starts up. As long as there is green cotton growth left in the Held, the weevil will be founld. It will crawl into a lock of cotton or half opeied bur to keep warm and come out When the sun1 shines to feed ilon the green sltiuf. (Dbn't burn the cotton stalks. Let then lay onl the ground. W'en the ground Is ilowed they ca lie turine under where they will decay and add the organic matter which tile soils so much need. Why not organize a community wide, or county-wide movement for the early destruction of cotton stalks. It mealls less trouble from the wee vils next year.
