impoverished Soil.

Impoverished SOIL, like impov-
erished blood, needs a proper
fertilizer. A chemist. by analyz-
ing the soil can tell you what
fertilizer to use for different
products.
If your blood is impoverished
your doctor will tell you what
you need to fertilize it and give
it the rich, red corpuscles that
are la"kilfg in it. It may be you
need q tonic, but more likely you
need 81 concentrated fat food,
and fat is the element lacking
in your system.
There is no fat food that is
so easily digested and assimi-

beautiful in spirit and beautiful

had some one sick in it last week
For six days did your correspond
ent tussel with the grip and we

,maOur ue1ghbor Mr.. F. B. Thomas
ia still on the sick list.
Our teachers we're both sick
last week, also many of their pu-
pills, so our school was suspended
for several days.
Some Of our people sold their
cotton last week, eight cen te being
the price. We have one ell tire crop
yet-two bales-which we are
holding for ten and half cents
per pound. We could have sold
at one time for ten cents. We
want the half ceut for interest.
~1Reeehaye some farmera in our
community that raise their own
meat and corn at home and these
farmers are making money. An
Missouri corn grow
er says that when a crop of sixty
bushels to the acre is raised the
corn costs thirteen cents a bushel
TO produce it; for fifty bushels it
is fifteen cents; for forty bushels
eighteen cents; for thirty-fve
bushels twenty-five cents and for
thirty bushels thirty cents. If the
above is true,-an al d experien-
ced corn farmer in Kentucky says
the figures "are not out of the
way', there is no excuse for our
farmers having their corn shipped
to them from the west.
