A great majority of these passing illnesses are due to self-poisoning resulting from constipation. Unless you keep your system free from decaying food waste, you start continuous poisoning inside.

Pills, castor oil, laxative waters and salts only force a and irritate the bowels, and make constipation a habit. Nujol works on an entirely new principle.

GET REStJLTS V .J' ' * <C-' > ^ itf: VELVET BEANS ~ p The Best and Surest Summer Legume for South Carolina?Great for Feed and Fertility, Says N. E. Winn ters, Extension Agronomist. ^ ti Clemson College, April 25.?Of the w jreat variety of legumes which may I > grown in South Carolina for feed, tl pasture, and soil improven#bt, velvet f( teans probably head the list for the pi tallowing reasons: f< They make a fairly good growth on g he poorest land in the South. j< They make a bigger growth than n ilmost any other legume. p Because of their growth they take i large amount of nitrogen from the y< tir; and when plowed under or pas- w .ured off and all residue and manure t( incorporated with the soil, most of a his nitrogen and large amounts of or- v ?antic matter are added to the soil. Every ton of growth may add to the ti soil from 25 to 30 pounds of expen- a jive nitrogen. n They will make more milk and meat ai ;>er acre as a pasture next fall and a] srinter than anything farmers can plant this spring. a Last, but not least, when planted in n :orn they heip to check that "Fodder <? pullin' disease," an antiquated and expensive method of making feed. S Varieties. Probably the best varieties for ? South Carolina are the Early Speckled jr Ninety Day, and the Osceola. The tt tarmer matures in about 120 days and :he latter In about 160 days. The Os- T :eola makes a larger growth of vine 01 ind foliage and larger pods than the 81 Foi-iw Cnornpfj- hut as it needs about ^ 10 days longer period. It Is not so well * idapted to the upper part of the state. A rhe Early Epeckled matures anywhere In South Carolina. Livestock P; lsually eat the Early Speckled more readily than the Osceola, although P' :hey like both. & Method of Planting. P1 Velvet beans make more seed and setter pasture If they have a trellis to n un on, and corn Is the most profit- P( ible trellis. Most velvet bean grow- al ?rs plant them In their corn, in alters ^ late rows with the corn, using corn tl OW8 6 1-2 to 7 feet wide. If the length jf season permits, it is a good plan to ^ jlant the beans from 20 to 30 days ^ ifter the corn, which permits the S :orn to make more growth before the 01 jeans begin to entwine around it, and esults in the corn standing up better P1 it harvest time. * ^ Another method adapted to the up>er part of the state especially is to ay off all rows about four feet apart md plant every third row to velvet leans with corn in the two rows be- n ;ween. This is especially advisable u: where the beans are planted at the ]C same time as the corn, as it takes ai onger for the vines to cover the corn tt " -ii? i? - ? no a Wtar nnanlnr Hi 1X1U USUttll/ ica > co a ucwv? v|/^ >etween the two corn rows in which tt rae may walk in gathering the corn. p( Amount of Seed Per Acre. U Farmers are using from one to two >ecks of seed per acre for planting in n lorn, planting fijpm 12 to 24 inches ^ ipart in the drill. If planted alone in ows, about one bushel of seed per ^ icre is required, or about six pecks jroadcast. ai Effect on Corn Crop. The first year the beans may re- n luce fhe yield of corn about two bush- w }ls (about the same reduction as pull- t ng fodder causes); but the next year 8i ollowing a crop of velvet beans the p, rield of corn is likely to be increased u ibout 33 per cent, and cotton about 25 jercent. On poor soil the increases tt ire often more than this. p Fertilization and Inoculation. ^ It is usual to fertilize the corn as rou otherwise would and let the velvet ~~ "oa TnVot thp corn doesn't ret. m JCQUO UOC TT UU V VMV . _ W Some farmers increase the amount oi! 1 ^ heir corn fertilizer for the benefit of i ^ he velvet beans. It is never neces- I lary, however, to increase the amount >f ammonia in the fertilizer for velvet beans. Velvet beans use the same inoculaion as cowpeas, peanuts, and lespe- J leza or Japan clover, hence inocula Jon is practically never necessary, ae; >ur soils are already inoculated for Jtem. Velvet Beans?Good Business. Velvet beans are the safest and jurest summer legume for South Cany ina, and we are not going to be the prosperous state that God intended lntil every cornfield in South Carolina s wrapped np in velvet beans every " rear. I In most of our soils nitrogen is the v imiting element in crop production, f [t is also the most expensive part of d :he fertilizer that we buy. Nearly d :hirty million dollars was spont in ^ 1920 #by the South Carolina farmers .'or nitrogen; yet it is estimated that >ne square mile of the air contains jnough nitrogen to supply the whole * world for fifty years for crop produc:ion. There are 35,000 tons of nitro- * ren in the air above every acre Just t< waiting to be pulled down and made 01 ivailable for growing crops by uaing cl relvet b?ans and other legumes in the rotation. Humus, the very foundaMon of soil 01 fertility, is also the crying need of ^ >ur soils. Velvet Oeans win neip as much or more than any other crop in building up the supply of htmus in the K soil.

The grandest fertilizer in II the world is manure. On the average a ton of barnyard lanure will contain 10 pounds of nitjgen, 5 pounds of acid, and 10 pounds f potash. It also contains a large Aount of organic matter which our ooth Carolina soils need and Oust xperimental Results With Manure. Did you ever stop to think that tore than half the fertilizing value f manure is in the liquid manure? be Ohio Experiment Station found at that enough manure was lost by Mpage in twelve months' time, even here liberal amounts of bedding ere used, to pay for concreting the oor. Olilo and Cornell stations nare pored that manure exposed in the arnyard will lose approximately 50 ercent of its value. If it is allowed > heat, the loss runs from 10 to 15 srcsnt greater. It is a common practice to haul lanure to the Held and place it in Ues. This is not a good plan. It ?ould be immediately spread over te soil, and the thinner it is spread le better. A ton of manure thinly pread will be worth more than one lickly spread. Thirty-flve years' ork at the Pennsylvania Experiment tation goes to prove that manure put a at the rate of 12 tons per acre reirned $3,29 per ton, while manure at on at the rate of 20 tons per acre lelded only $2.29 per ton.
