Questions
for
Women

II you were offered sure aid in time
Of trouble would you put it aside
and accept something Of doubtful
efficiency?
If you saw before you a strong and
safe bridge leading to your goal, would
you-ignore it to try some insecure and
tottering structure?
The answer to these questions Is
plain. You would, of course, choose
without hesitation what all evidence
showed to be the safe thing, and you
would risk nothing in useless expert
ments.
Why then do some women risk one
OF their most precious possessions
their health-in trying medicines OF
unknown value, which may even prove
hurtful to them.
Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound has stood the test Of years 1t
has the largest sale of any remedy for
female ills in the world, and nothing
could have given it this sale except It's
own merit.

what is known to be reliable. Mrs.

is claimed for it, and all statements in
regard TO it can be easily verified

Wheat for the South.

For number of years the Agricultur.
al Department has been investigating tie
grain rustS, which cause 80 much less
and are so very widely distribute d.
Experiments have been made with a
view to prevention and to determining
what varieties most resist the disease
and also whether varieties not resistant
in some localities may not be resistant in
others. These Investigations have been
conducted in nearly every State in the
Union with the result that much
valuable information has been obtained.
RUST IN SOUTHERN WHEAT.
The department finds that the stem
rusts are more prevalent in the West, and
the leaf and crown rusts in the East and
South. 1t recommends tho following
varieties to Western growers: Turkey,
Mennondite, Odessa, Rietl, Pringle's S
No 5, and Pringle's Defiance, and for
early spring sowing Haynes Blue Stem
and Saskatchewan Fife. The following
resist leaf trust: Thesis, Fulcaster,
Oregon Club, Deitz Longberly, Sonora
Diem, Mediterranean, Arnolus Hybrid
and Calf Spring. Durum and Pou-
lard wheats, used mostly for maccaroni,
are also very resistant. Elkorn, used for
feed, seems absolutel, resistant. Nearly
any variety may rust if sown too late.
There are six different species Of rusts
and the damage they do every year en-
ceeds, in the departments opinion, that
Of any other pest, and in some localit; es
those of all other pests combined.
In the Carolinas wheat is quite COM
monty injured by rust, but it is not grown
extensively in those States. The orange
leaf rust seems to be the prevailing spe-
cies, though as yet it is uncertain wheth-
er it is the only one present In cases of
severe injury. One peculiar fact Of in-
terest is that early wheat, such as early
May, is also more injured than late
varieties, which is just the reverse of the
rule. A probable reason for this is that
early wheat is sometimes weakened by
frosts or freezes and is thus rendered more
liable to rust. In the Atlantic coast States
the wild blackberry rust is extremely
abundant. especially in the edges of clear
ings near fields Of wheat--a fact which has
given rise to the erroneous opinion that
this rust has some octogenetic onncction
with the cereal IustS.
Very little wheat is raised in Georgia,
but usually what is grown is badly in
jured by rust. Leaf rust is the species
most prevalent, but frequently the grain
is not severely injured until the stem rust
appears. In Georgia and in all the Gulf
States oats is seldom injured by rust.
The variety Of oats most commonly
grown is the Texas rust proof.
