Winter Legumes Point the Way To Rich Land and Rich Farmers The greatest, waste of Southern soil and soil fertility is not through the crops sold from the farm or from our one-crop system of cotton farming. Our loss of soil fertility is very much greater because of the bare condition of our soils during the winter when the rainfall is heavy and through the leaching out of plant foods and the washing away of the finest and best part of our landB. Our one greatest need is winter legume cover crops, or to i?? ? ? _ . accp uiio lanu i my ; our gr6ftl6Sl agricultural ass t the fact that our climate en jles us to grow a clover crop tin : will gather nitrogen from th air and increase the fertility ol our soilB between the time our 1 icney or regular summer feed crop iB harvested and the time or planting this crop the following spring. Our greatest need would thus he met by the use of our greatest agricultural assert or by taking advantage of our one specsal opportunity. Without the loss of a single cotton or corn crop the yields of these crops per acre can be doubled in four or tive years, because the growing of winter legumes will, while preventing washing and leaching, gather nitrogen from the air and supply the humus and the nitrogen our soils need to double their yields. There is no section of this country where increased soil fertility is so needed nor any section where it is so easy to obtain, if we would only grow winter and summer leguni es on tne land when it is not busy growing our regular crops of cotton, corn, oats, wheat, etc. Why we do not grow more of these legumes until our soils are made more fertile is beyond all human understanding. ?The Progressive Farmer.

King, in Amazing Statement, Says Tanlac Gave Them Wonderful Relief at Once. "After making almost every, possible effort to find telief from 'their ills and failing in every instance my wife and my son, Charlie, were given really wonderful relief by just a few doses of Tanlac." declared Mr w O. King, a farmer living between AndeJHon and Plenleton, Hie address is Plendleton, R. F. D. Mr. King came into Evans' Pharmacy, at Anderson, to buy a bottle of Tanlac, and while there told tin Tanlac repreRenative of thq ,;/.reat vu^v .,\this wonderful remedy had been to hie family. '1 wish I hail the money to by e dozen bottles this afternoon," he declared, "for I need to take T mlac myself, but this is the tighi money time for the farmer au; 1 will have to buy Tanlae no r only for those who need it a rst." Continuing, Mr. King said: "My wife sufl' -ed from a generally run down condition, comp licated with other peculiar troubles and a /ery bad case of indigestion, i he had been in ill health a lo- ? time before she be^an taking ? dac, and I once paid out $75 ft aedical services tor her, aDd sh ; lid not get as much benefit jn as she did from her first c -tie of Tanlac, which cost jusi < ne dollar. "She had no t nergy and felt badly all the time. She was not able, hardly, to do anything around the house, and was under a doctor a solid year, but got no better. She now has taken two (2) bottles of Tanlac, and it has proven in her case the best medicine in the world. < Iler strength has increased a, i great deal and her appetite id | ] better than it has been in years. i Nothing she eats causes her in-|l digestion now. She sure is pleas- < ed with the results. It is just: 1 wonderful the way she was im- i proved. 1 "My boy Charlie, suffered one ] whole year with a very pecular and distressing trouble, which j about a dozen doses of Tanlac j ( broke up. All last summer lie ] could not work over half a day. 1 lie would get so weak he would i have to stoD for the dav. This Summer he was not any bet- ] t^r. Charlie's appetite would ( be good until he got to the table but then he would become 3ick, Often at night his breath would almost leave him. He lost a lot of weight and strength. 1 had taken him to a dozen doctors, but he got no better. It was said he had nervous indigestion. 4kI am certainly glad to tell, you these things for use in your advertising, for it may show some poor snllerers the way to regain their health. 1 hope my I words may help some wuo suffers, and you b t I can't say too much for Tanla ."

A. tojjBSSdmMBmMim. , * J ?01* ^ r?h and J*, \ Mr. W. F. Stevenson, candl-^ I date for Uongress in the fifth district, states that he is in receipt of numerous com munications from voters in the district enclosing the following letter : House of Representatives, U. S. Washington, D. C. July 19, 1910. Dear Sir:? I am sending ont Agriclutural Yearbooks. I have less than one thousand of these books as my quota for distributing each year. There are more than twelve thousand farmer in niof*s?f so that it is impossiple for me to send each farmers a Yearbook; in the event that you do not get one and are especially interested and will write me, I will make an effort to secure a copy for you. 1 have a number of Farmers' Bulletins, in fact, a sullicieut number to go over the District, and am sending out these also. L enclose you a list. If you will mark a few bulletins on the list that you are interested in and will return it to me at Washington 1 will send these to you. These bulletins contain much valuable information on various subjects. If you have a pond or a stream of water that you wish to 6tock with fish and will write to me, 1 will secure the fish for you and have them sent you free of costWe have passed a Good Roads Bill and also a Rural Credit Bill. I also hope to see you during summer and that you will write me at any time 1 can be of service. Yours sincerely, tf.G.F. D. E. FIN LEY. The letters go in an envelope marked "House of Representatives U. S. "Public Document?Free D. E. Finley, M. C." With the letter is a printed list ^f bulletins from the Agricultural department. Now, voters are mailing these to Mr. Stevensou ind asking questions indicating that they think there is an oiler Df books and fish being made for their support in the election. One man endorses on his letter the following, "Finley is offering fish. What have you got?" Mr. Stevenson say6 that it is impossible to write all the voters, and as this letter seems to have been sent to all he takes this method of answering questions being raised. First, he assumes that it is purely in discharge of his duty is Congressman that Mr. Finley is offering to send out fish and books, though it is unfortunate that he didn't make this olFer till ho was in a nummlffn f,** ... ? r?6" ??? 1 o election, as that might cause persons of a suspicious nature to make the uncharitable charge that he expected support as a result of the oil er. Second, Mr. Stevenson cannot oiler anything but the promise of faithful, honest work as a Representative of every man and every interest in the district, if elected, because, (1) He has no tish or books of his own to give, nor can he a private citizen draw on the United States to send them free. (2) lie is not able to write every voter in The district because he cannot frank his letter as the Congressman does, and the postage alone will cost $400. (0) And, if he had the fish and books and could send them free, being a private citizen who was under no obliga tion to send out these things, he would violate the law to do so, because it says that "any person who shall ... by the payment, delivery or promise of money or other article of value, procure or offer, promise or endeavor to procure another to v >te for or against any particular candidate in such election . . . shall be guilty of a mis: demeanor." The advantage which the Congressman hub lu the matter is that it allows him to send the voters things free as a congressI ional duty, but Mr. Stevenson jcannot do so because he has no i such duty, and it would bo absolutely clear that he was offerjing fish and books for votes, so | he can only offer, if elected, the service due from a Congressman to his constituents, and when he gets to Congress, if he should, he will not wait till the election to make a univeral offer of fish and hooks.
