Now, it seems to me the cotton acreage has been overestimated. There is lots of corn planted and still ,they ? don't stop planting. The most corn was planted late. Lots of the corn is small and it is not all planted where it can be seen?lots off I he roads on the back of the plantations, on the branch by the river or creek bottoms. I saw some fine corn on the bottom lands that looks like it might make, 7."> bushels to the acre and there is some upland that will do the same thing if (hey continue to get good1 rains. Lots of nitrate of soda is being ( bought for some and if there is some short in acres, there will be more made, for every farmer seems to be< using more fertilizer to the acre than they have been doing. I know a farm a few years ago that was all run down and as an old saying goes, "would not sprout peas" "I?that farm has been built by buying ' ( I fertilizer for they are using on that ^ farm today five or six tons to the plough and they are now making a 1 bale of cotton to the acre or from f>0 to 70 bushels of corn, so you see it j. pays to use fertilizer. 1 am using more fertilizer this year to the plough than I have ever used before and my j prospects are the best for a crop at , j. this time that I have had in many years. I have heard some people prophesy that corn w'ill he $">.00 f or bushel next year. I think this i:; prcmai ture. Corn will never reach that price while the United States is victorious. ' , We would have to he ruled by the CJer| mans for it to bring that much. Now, I am making this prophesy; there can he a drouth or some calamity to cut off the crops, but if there is not there , will be plenty made for man and ^ beast: hope so, anyway. While I am ( on this subject, let me : ay again that there is more old corn in the country today in the farmers' hands ) than I have ever known and where one ! P farmer has planted more cotton some 1 others have planted more corn and exI i pect to make more to the acre on that t he has planted. The fellow who is not . planting so much corn this year has enough to do him, at least for part of: j the year. You see the point and there will be ? > . > _ ? nmiijf nusiifi ui oui corn in rne cnoj r at gathering time. We are all eating' , more corn meal than we ever have . and everyone, I think, is learning a t great lesson of economy. , No?v, dear readers, don t get wor. ried or look hard at me for writing . again about the good dinners Dr. Thrasher and I have had. We were , invited to the birthday dinner of Mrs. . J. G. Garner on the 28th of June and enjoyed the good dinner and the kind hospitality showti us. We were also . invited to the home of D. J. James to eat dinner, which we also appreciated , and enjoyed?as much so as the good 1 eats. I do like that part as well as s the good dinner they gave us. (Please 1 don't toll us any more.?Editor).

MADE NEW START AND SHE WON OUT Hreat Problem is Faced By < irl Workers in Cities EXPENSES CKOWINC Almost Heyond Work When She Began Taking Tan lac. Which Soon Uesored Her w. s. s. There is no bigger problem than that which the woman worker has to meet. With rent, clothing, food, fuel all going higher and higher, her worries are greater than ever. Though weaker and more liable to illness than men, these women must he at their best, whether they are in i dice, store, factory or home. They must be bright confident, ambitious or fail. The weak, nervous, run down woman has very little chance, and this was realized by Josephine Dougherty.

"I would suffer so after eating that I could not keep my strength up. There would bo pains and I would have a feeling >f suffocation. I had lost sleep so long and had become so nervous I was in a badly run down condition I was subject to headaches and pains in my limbs and back. Even my heart had become weak.
