Let's Beat Our Own Best Records
In 1919
I
To every Southern farmer, whether
large or small, white or black,
landlord or tenant, we should like to
say: The good name of the South?
its record for enterprise, progres-1
siveness and achievement?is partly
in your hands this year. The re- j
cord which you make in 1919?the j
record you alone, personally and in-,
dividually make?will tell either for j
good or evil in the whole South's
agricultural standing these next ten !
years.
We say this because next year is
eensus year, and the crops made
this year will be the ones reported
in the census?and what the 1920
mxo oKnnt t>!A Smith will
^CUdUO MWWV ?..v
largely determine our standing in
the world for ten year's to come.
Let's resolve therefore to beat our
own best record in 1919. Let each
State seek to outdo other States,
each county other counties?and let
each farmer seek to outdo his own j
bestrecord and make 1919 the ban- ]
ner crop year of his life.
Prom 1909 to 1917 the South increased
its food and feed crop acreage
as follows: Corn 28 per cent;
hay, 105 per cent; oata, 87 per cent;
wheat, 143 per cent; potatoes, 67
per cent; and in 1918 we made an
even finer record?but none of these
figures have yet gone into an American
census table. By what we do
this year Uncle Sam stands the
South up, takes its measure, and
marks down the results as our offi
cial census grade for tne next ten
years.
Big acre yields are what we
should aim at with every crop. Even
if cotton is 30 cents a pound there is
no frofit in one-third-bale-per-arce
crops, but the bale-per-acre man is
practically predestined to profits
from the time he plants the seed. A
few years of good farming aimed at
richer lands would fit the South to
grow all of its present cotton crop op
half the acreage, and release the
other half to feed itself and its
* growing flocks and herds; and while
we can't get to this in this single
year, let's aim at the longest stride
forward it has yet made.
Commercial fertilizer is high, but.
judiciously used, liberal applications
will still pay handsomely (it's cheaper
now than hired labor), fcnd every
possible ounce of barnyard and staV1

es, etc., should be put on the soil.
Then with the best possible methods
of preparation and cultivation,
and with a still further stride toward
making the South a real livestock
section, let's go into the new
crop making season with "a long
pull, and a pull altogether" to make1
the South stand head of the class
after Uncle Sam's 1920 census yardstick
has measured all sections of
America.?The Progressive Farmer.

Fire Bottles of Cardni
Made Her Well
Kathleen. Fla.?Mrs. Dallas Prine,
of this place, says: "After the birth
of my last child...I .got very much
run-down and weakened, so much
that I could hardly do anything at
all. I was so awtuijy nervous tnat
I could scarcely endure the least
noise. My condition was getting
worse all the time...
I knew I must have some relief or
1 would soon be In the bed and in a
serious condition for I felt so badly
and was so nervous and weak I could
hardly live. My husband asked Dr.
about my taking CarduL He
said, 'It's a good medicine, and good
^ for that trouble', bo he got me 5 bot- |
ties...After about the second bottle I
felt greatly improved.. .before taking
it my limbs and hands and arms
would go to sleep. After taking it,
however, this poor circulation disappeared.
My strength came back to
me and I was soon cn the road to
health. After the use of about 5 bottles,
I could do all my house-work
and attend to my six children besides."
You can feel safe In giving Cardul
a thorough trial fcr your troubles. It
contains no harmful or habit-forming
drugs, but Is composed of mild, vegetable,
medicinal Ingredients with no
hfd aftereffects. Thousands of women
