MRS PERSON,
Dear Madam:-Abou four years ago
struck my right leg against box and
broke the skin. l used the usual things
prescribed in such troubles. but nothing
did it any good until friend sent me
some of Mrs Joe Persons Wash. which
soon cured it. About twenty-five years
ago | had typhoid fever which settled in
my lett leg which made it weak. and If
was swollen more or less all the time.
Beng IN the hardware business I struck
1t one day about two years ago against
an IRON vessel, which broke the skin.
Feeling my danger | began to take Mrs.
Joe Persons Remedy and to wash tie
sore with the Wash. which soon healed
the hurt place, but my whole leg broke
out and became almost a solid sore from,
nan way down my leg to the toes. NV
friends thought l was getting worse and
tried to persuade me to stop the Remedy.
| knew 1t was throwing the impuritv from
the blood to the surface. and so | CON
tlnued IT, altho' | got so bad off 7 was
confined to the house several weeks Then
the leg began to heal and scabs a quarter
OF an inch thick would form and shed
until my leg was entirely cured. # can
never be strong as the other leg. bur il Is
well and nv general health is good. IN
all / took 80 bottles. and there is no cal
culating the good it has done me-

Good Farming VS.. Growing Supplies.

To the Editor: There is no phrase in
common use by those who would advise
the farmer in the cotton country more
dsagreeable to me than the auVlce TO
grow their supplies The idea con
veyed is that cotton is the only thing
ter the farmer to grow that has any
commercial value, and that corn, oats,
wheat and cattle are only supplies to
enable him to grow more cotton. There
will be no real improvement in the ag-
riculture of the South till We get rid
of this notion that cotton or tobacco is
he only thing worth growing to sell.
rhe man who by good farming developes
his land to the production OF so to 100
bushels OF corn or 80 to IS bushels OF
oa;s per acre will not only have his
supplies, but Will find that at tho prices
these things are selling for they will
be real adiuncts to his farming, and
the means for paying his farming ex
pcnses. The common notion is that the
larger part of the land must be occupied
by cotton year after year and that a
little piece of bottom land shall be plant
ed year after year in corn. and neither
OF them rise in production above low
average. What the farmers in the cot
ton country need more than mere sup
plies is cash at all times of The year
To pay for labor and other expenses,
and the constant dependence on the cot
ton crop as the only source Of money
viii never put the cotton farmer on
cash basis and enable him to grow cot
ton more economically than when he is
supplied with the necessaries of life by
merchant on credit. Our farmers need
to get imbued with the idea thai by sys-
tematic farming only can the South be
brought to her pristine productiveness,
that the growing of corn. small grain,
peas and pork are not merely the get
ting of supplies" to carry the cotton
crop through, but will be in themselves
the means of developing the productive
ness of the farm and for paying all the
expenses of the growing of cotton. Or
course the farm should furnish the sup
Plies needed by those who cultivate it,
but it should do far more than this
The feeding of cattle and hogs and the
selling Of the surplus grain should be
the means for bringing in cash through
the year, and relieving the farmer from
the vast tax that the credit system fas-
tens on him No mere growing of sup
plies will do this. We must realize
that the auxiliary crops derive their i'm
pcrtance from the fact that their cult
walton in a systematic rotation will be the
best means for the increased lroduc-
ton of the land net only in the auxiliary
crops but in the main money crop of
cotton. Let us drop then the practice
OF talking about supplies" and talk
about profitable farming with cotton
peas, corn and winter grain in a well
devised rotation, each aiding in the de-
velopment of the farm, and each contrib
utng it's share to the cash needed for
economical farming Grow supplies not
only for your own farm but for the mar
ket demand that is always good for grain
in the South. In short let us farm in
stead OF merely planting cotton.
