the State. A fair crop of fall oats
has also been planted, but the
acreage should be doubled or
trebled without delay. Prepare
to plant good corn crop, not less
than ten to twelve acres to the
plow; and be sure to either
broadcast field peas in your corn
at the last blowing. or drop them
on, or by The side Of the corn
rows at the second. Then prepare
not less than five acres to the
plow for such crops as ground
peas. potatoes, sugar cane. millet,
etc. After that, put ten acres and
no more in cotton, regardless of
who may advise you to the CON
trary A crop like this will give you
twenty five acres to the plow,
and that is enough for north
Georgia, though in middle and
south Georgia few more acres
might be cultivated in corn or
groundpeas."
KEEP OUT OF DEBT.
After citing other instances of
the same sort or in the same line
Commissioner Stevens concludes
as follows:
"Buy as little guano as possible.
but use all lhe home made fertili-
zers that you can get together be.
tween this and planting time.
Stop buying hoehandles, axhelves,
names and other things that you
can and should make at home on

Everybody should know that
Rheumatism is a peculiar acid con-

no effect whatever. The best
blood remedy is needed--one which
is able to go to the very seat of the
disease and force it out. Swift's

remedy for Rheumatism, because
it is the only blood remedy free
from mercury, potash and other
minerals which intensity the dis

S. S. S. neutralizes the acid
condition of the blood, and forces
out every trace of the disease. It'll

where the doctors have made
