NEED VINOL
the modern strength creator
and body builder

Many people right here in this
vicinity are all run down and hardly
able to drag about-don't know
what ails them.
such people need Vinol. our
cod liver preparation without oil,
which contains in highly concen-
trated form all of the medicinal
and strengthening elements of
cod liver oil actually taken from
fresh Gods livers, but from which
the useless oil is eliminated and
tonic iron added"
We ask every man, woman and
child in this vicinity who is run
down, tired and debilitated to try
VinOl on our offer to return money
if it fails. w. S. Lloyd, Drug

Does Sorghum Exhaust the
Soil?
Progressive Farmer.


Gently asking In substance if
sorghum is not very hard crop
on landg We believe this de-
pends very largely upon what
use is made of sorghum crop
when harvested. Were We to grow
crops Of this food year after year
for sale as raw product we would
think ourselves in a fair way to
ruin our soils, as there can be no
doubt in the mind of thinking
man but that the sorghum plant
is one of the greatest foragers
after plant food that we can grow
on our farms.
A forage plant that will pro-
duce from three to seven tons Of
cured hay per acre, and does not
belong 70 the nitrogen gathering
group, must secure its food from
the soil on which it grows and
that in large quantities. 1t ma
turally follows then as we have
said above that were we to sell
this large amount of rough food
off our farms we would deplete
the fertility OF the land very ma
terially. Ga the o'her hand
were we to feed The product to
our farm animals, saving the
manure very carefully and re-
turn the same TO the soil on
which the crop grew, we will
have aided our ills in their eff
orts to produce still larger crops,
because In the first place the de-
cayed plants return to the soil
much more humus than waa
burned up In their production,
and we have demonstrated on
our heavy soils that as we add
10 the humus content Of that
soil, in just that ratio do we
add to lis crop producing ability.
Our friends who believe fn
resting land are demonstrating
this fact. There is practically
no plant food added to the soil
by growing thereon from one to
three successive crops of weeds
and briars and allowing them to
decay on the land, but there is
humus added and herein lies the
the secret of improvement of soil
by resting. There is no benefit
from this practice, however, that
could not be obtained by growing
crops OF sorghum, if the crops
were fed ON the farm and the
manure returned to the soil
All the humus would be saved to
the farm and the farm would be
ahead from $l5 to $50 per acre
in stock TODD secured After d e.
duciing cost OF growing and har-
Vesting the sorghum--which need
not exceed $6 per acre-the
wide awake farmer would be con
siderably ahead of tn land-rest-
er.
We limited above that the sor-
ghum plant was great forager
after plant food. One has only
to examine the root development
of plant of this family when
nearing maturity to be convinced
that if there is any dormant plant
food in the soil the sorghum
plant will surely find it. These
roots not only feed upon the
-loy,f fnnl IN fbo ,nno. x-.
