When a physician tells a woman, SUI
4eripp from ovarian or womb trouble,
that an operation is necessary it, Of
course, frightens her.
The very thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart AS one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation. she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for ovarian or womb
operations.
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach a stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because a great many women have
been cured by Lydia E. Plnkham
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per
formed. In fact. up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief. this medicine is certain to help
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who. by taking Lydia Z, Pink
! hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
Margrite Ryan, Treasurer OF st. An

Hearing how Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound had saved other women from
serious operations decided to try it, and in
less than four months l was entirely cured
and words fail to express my thankfulness."
Miss Margret Merkley of 275 Sd
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
"Loss of strength. extreme nervousness,
severe shooting pains through the pelvic
organs, cramps, bearing down pains, and
extreme irritation compelled me to seek
medical advice The doctor. after making
an examination said that | had ovarian trou'
BILE and liberation, and advised an operation
as my only hope. To this strongly objected
and decided as last resort TO try Lydia
E. Pnkhams Vegetable Compound
"To nv surprise the liberation healed. al
the bad symptoms disappeared, and am once
more strong, vigorous and well; and can
not express my thanks for what 1t has done
for me-"

Jared C. Smith, Special Agent in

10 each Senator and Representative OF

No. II. covering the tobacco expert

duction, Jared Smith says:
In the autumn of 1908. a co-operat tive
experiment was arranged under the
Joint auspices of the Territorial Board
of Commissioners of Agriculture and
Forestry and the Hawaii Agricultural
Experiment Station for the purpose of
demonstrating the practicability of
growing the best grades of cigar tobac-
CO in Hawaii.
An examination of sites was made by
Mr.. F. Z. Confer. a special agent, who
in the beginning. had charge of the
work Mr.. Confer visited the Puma,
Hilo Hamakua and Kona districts of
the island of Hawaii and finally Sc
lected a small tract on the Louisson
Brothers Plantation on the lands of
Pohakea. Hamakua. A lease of 1-2
acres of the land was secured in the
name of the Secretary of Agriculture.
Washington, d. c., at the nominal rent
al of five dollars per annum. Special
privileges were granted by the owners
of the land who have assisted the en-
terprise in every way in their power.
The land was new and uncultivated, SO
that a delay of some months ensued
before the field could be made ready
for planting. The first crop was trans
nIanted TO the experimental plots in
March and April. 1904.
The experimental tobacco field was
located in Hamakua because the phys
Ical character of the soil was right to
produce a good quality of crop. The

from Paauhau to Hakalau at an eleva-
ton of from 1000 to $500 feet-is a sandy

CLIMATE.
The influence of climate on the grow
ing of tobacco is a potent factor. Cigar
tobaccos, of good quality. are produced
through a wide range in latitude. Prox-
unity to the ocean has. always been con-
sidered a deterrent influence.
Tobacco requires from 20 to 100 inches
annual rainfall. from one-half to one
third of this during the growing season.
Moderate temperatures, frequent show
ers or irrigation, to proiuo e even. un-
interrupted growth. neither too rapid
nor too slow, constitute an important
element in determining the st;itpl nity
of any district where soil conditions are
correct. Monotony of daily and season

Hawaii so that the rainfall or the
ability to irrigate the crop, when re
quired, become of greater importance

To The FaEmers and Business Men

To the Farmers and Business Men
of Lincoln County
Pres. Summers, of the Lincoln
County Cotton Growers Associa-
ton, has called meeting of the
association at the court house on.
Saturday, July 10Th. | earnestly
urge every farmer and business
man in Lincoln county, who can
possibly do so, to attend.
The, good work accomplished by
the Southern Cotton Growers AS
sociation has been Of inestimable
value to the business interests of
the South. When the convention
met in New Orleans in January
cotton was selling at from 81 to
6 cents. Mainly through the
efforts of the association, and be-
fore it was known definitely what
the reduction in acreage and fer
tilizers would be, cotton was adj
vanced to " or s cents. By this
advance something like 20 million
dollars was added to the value of
the cotton held By farmers and
merchants. / hear many say:
"0h, well the weather is respon-
sible for the advance. / con-
cede that the weather has had
much to do with the advance; but,
had it not been for the strenuous
efforts Of the association in adVo-
eating the holding of cotton for
10 cents, a panic would have seiz-
ed the holders and 5 cent cotton
or less, would have been the result.
II IS generally conceded that
much less crop will be raised this
year than last, ret there will still
be enough for the speculator to
get IN his work, and the indiVid.
ual farmer is poWerless IN bis
grasp. There is but one way to
prepatuate prosperity of the
South so far as cotton is concern.
