MEDICINAL.

Every day adds to the list of deaths
attributed to heart failure. II the
truth were told the bulk of these
deaths might be written down as due
to stomach failure. For it is in the
failure of the stomach and other organs
of digestion and nutrition, that rweak
heart, "weak" lungs, rweak nerves and
other forms of physical deterioration
having their beginning. The man whose
stomach is sound, who can digest and
assimilate the food he eats, and so keep
each organ of the body well nourished,
is the man who Is least liable to collapse
under the sudden weakness of some
vital organ.
The preservation of health which fol-
lows the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, is chiefly due to the
fact that it perfectly and permanently
cures diseases Of the stomach and organs
of digestion and nutrition, purifes the
blood and increases the blood supply Of
the body. Weak people will find in this
medicine sure means OF strength.
rI was under doctors care for quite time"
writes Mr.. J. F. Kidd, Of Parmleysviiie' Wayne
Co, Ky. @They had almost given me up, and
my suffering was very great. My pulse was

JENNINGS DAILY RECORD.
WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.

Climate and Crop Bulletin of U. S.
Weather Bureau, Louisiana Section,
for the past week.
WEATHER.
The weather during the week
was bright, sunshiny and unrea-
sonably warm. Both the day
and night temperatures were
higher than during the preced-
ing week, the average maxim u m
Temperature 0ranging from 81
to S5 degrees, and the average
minimum temperatures from SO
to SO degrees. Nor rain occurred
il the state during the week, ca
cept light shower at Opelousas,
St. Landry parish, on Tuesday.
CROP CONDITIONS.
Cotton. 1.-THE weather has con-
tinued favorable for cotton pick
ing. In some places labor is
scarce, but as rule picking has
been pushed vigorously. In many
places picking is nearing com
pletion, while in others only
about half of the crop has been
picked. While reports from some
localities show that the yield is
about the average or is better
than anticipated, the crop as a
whole is below the average With
a continuation Of favorable wealth
er pick will be rushed to com
pletion.
Sugar Cane.-The weather has
been exceptionally favorable for
the sugar cane crop. The yield,
both in tonnage and sugar CON
tent, is salts factory, and in some
places it is better than antici-
pated. This is especially true Of
stubble cane. Plant cane is not
so good. In Vermillion parish
the crop is the largest cane crop
ever grown in that parish. Fall
planting is well up with the sea-
son, and seed cane is generally
in windrow. Grinding is now
general, except in scattered To-
calities.
Rice. The rice crop is excep-
tionally heavy in the western
portion of the state, and TIRES h
ing will continue from three to
four weeks yet. sSp1e rice is
yet TO be harvested. Tho quality
of the crop is good.
Corn. Corn gathering is COM
pleted in many sections and is
nearing completion generally.
Miscellaneous--Fall gardens
have suffered for rain and are
very poor, except in those sec
tons where showers have &c
CURED from time to time during
the latter half of the month.
Flowing for fall crops has con
tinued and some land has been
seeded to oats.

Louisiana at the Front.

Every citizen imbuded with the
least feeling of State pride will
rejoice to learn, says the Baton
Rouge Truth, that in the in the
matter Of awards at the Pan Am
erican, Louisiana stands in the
front rank. Nine gold, eight
silver, three bronze medals to
say nothing of the long list of
diplomas and honorable mention,
is a record we may well be proud
of.
Emphasis is given tothe strong
showing made by this State by
the fact that the great State Of
Illinois received only one gold
medal and New York not as ma
ny as Louisiana.
Gold medals come to Louisiana
for the best collective agricul-
tural exhibit: refined sugar:plan
tation sugar; tobasco sauce:
canned schrimp;Periq ue tobacco,
cotton seed meal and cake;cotton
seed products.
Silver medals were awarded to
Louisiana people for agricultural
products, canned sea foods, fat
pine products, prepared Spanish
moss, cypress lumber, pottery,
soap and soap stocks.
In addition to the above is a
long list of bronze medals and
diplomas.
A special jury was appointed
to report on the rice exhibit.

commercial fertilizers. A proper sys-
TEN of crop rotation should result in
enriching the surface soil with plant
food rather than in depicting it. The
growing of clover and peas in a crop
rotation causes marked increase in
the organic matter and humus in the
soil as we'll as an accumulation OF
nitrogen, and in corn followed by
wheat showed more than twice as
much water in the first six inches as
land that had been continuously in
wheat. The principal feeding ground
of wheat is in the first eight inches of
soil. soil may contain a good sup
ply of plant food in the first eight
inches, and enough water lower down,
but in reach of the wheat roots, and
yet the crop may literally starve sur
rounded by food for lack of moisture
in the first eight inches to dissolve
the food. Flowing under a green crop
does not produce as beneficial results
as the plowing of an old sod. Plow-
ing under a green crop of leaves, the
organic matter is mass and not uni
formly distributed in the soil Soils
filled with a mass of green roots fur
nish, in all parts of the soil, a uni
form supply of organic matter, which
by gradual decay furnishes humus,
and this humus, reacting on the min
eral constituents OF the soil aids i'm
the release Of mineral plant food. The
great mass OF fine grass roots inter
twined about the particles of soil in the
virgin prairie prevented the soil from
