of CataFFh
A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way, and
1t Costs Nothing to Try

Those who suffer from catarrh know it's
miseries There is no need of this suffer-
ing. You can get rid of it by a simple,
safe, inexpensive, home treatment discov-
cred by DR.. Blosser, who, for over thirty
five years, has been treating catarrh sue
cessfully.
His treatment is unlike any other. II
is not a spray. douche, salve, cream, or
inhaler but is a more direct and thor
ough treatment than any OF these. 1t

so that you can again breathe freely and
sleep without that stopped-up feeling that
all catarrh sufferers have. 1t heals the
diseased mucous membranes and arrests
the foul discharge. so that you will not
be constantly blowing your nose and spit
ting. and at the same time II does not
poison the system and ruin the stomach,
as internal medicines do.
II you want to test this treatment with
out cost. send your address to DR.. J. w.
Blosser, 81 Walton street, Atlanta, Ga,
and he will send you by return mail
enough of the medicine to satisfy you that
It is all he claims for 1t as a remedy for
catarrh, catarrhal headaches. catarrhal
deafness, asthma, bronchitis, colds and an
catarrhal complications. He will also

QUESTION AND ANSWER DEPARTMENT.
Growing Onions in the South

800 pounds OF nitrate OF soda should be
und as 8 top dressing between the rows
In the early spring. Where cotton seed
meal Is not available a larger amount
OF nitrate Of soda may be used as top
dressing, and dried blood substituted as
the source OF nitrogen. On sandy land at
least 400 pounds OF muriate OF potash
should be used. Any trucker may pur-
chase these ingredients and mix them
himself or have them prepared by his
dealer in fertilizer. The phosphates and
potash and the organic nitrogen should,
as a rule, be applied at the time the
crop is set out, being broadcasted and
mixed we'll with the soil. The nitrate
will be applied between the drill rows
which in no case viii probably be over
Is TO Is inches apart, since the crop
must be worked almost exclusively by
hand or wheel hoes. Lime is frequently
needed on onion soil and there is moth
ing better TO use than caustic lime at
the rate OF 1000 to 1000 pounds per acre.
The lime should be applied some time
in advance OF sowing or transplanting
the crop.
While it will take some effort to pre-
pare a suitable seed bed for onions,
this crop has one material advantage
in that 1t may be grown on the same
Adhu lot q series OF years IN succession
and with better results each year, provid-
ed liberal fertilization is maintained.
Land prepared as described and properly
cultivated and on which a good stand is
secured should yield anywhere from 1000
to 200 bushels Of onions. Much larger
yields than this are frequently obtained
though the average is probably below the
estimate given, running as a rule between
600 and 200 bushels per acre. There is a
good market for onions In many local
tiles where this industry is neglected, and
certainly the majority Of those who till
the soil are not enjoying this healthful
garden luxury which may be made to
occupy the land during an OF season. as
IL were. and Will be ready for market
early in the spring. leaving the land for
the use Of such other truck crops as
may be desirable during the summer.

PROTECT COTTON
Farmers Of Georgia Will Have
100000 at Their Disposal By
the Middle Of the Present.

MACON, Ca, Nov. 2-Five million deli
lars will be at the disposal Of the farm
ers of Georgia to meet their outstanding
debts by the middle of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ably earlier. or that amount $s.5oO,9o0 has
already been secured and is deposited III
about 100 banks in different localities Of
the state, subject to the call OF the l0l
or more consolidated union warehouses
This fund, which has been secured By
the Georgia division Of the Farmers Ed
vocational and Cooperative Union o.
America marks one of the greatest Sue
is one of the leading movements OF CO..
operation.
BY this plan the farmer will be enabled
10 meet all his obligations without the
sacrifice of his cotton and through this
plan Georgia farmers will be able to real
ize the value OF his holdings.
The money has been loaned to the Geor-
gia division by Georgia banks. and the
additional 81, 10000 that is to be secured
within the next few days will come
through ANOTHER Georgia banking source.
The announcement of the loan was made
last Friday by former President r. F.
Duokworth, OF the Georgia division, but
1t was not known until Tuesday what thu
exact amount of the loan was.
This new financial method will enable
the warehouses to draw the money on de-
post to their accounts and assist this
farmer on his distress cotton, at tho
same time allowing him to receive great
er value for HIS cotton when II is sold
than IL he was compelled to sacrifice It
to meet his fall financial obligations.

FOLLOWING CORN WITH COTTON.
A. s. A, Eatontcn, Ca, writes: I have
about eight acres Of land want to put
In cotton another year that has been
IN corn for two years with peas planted
in the corn. 1t was turned last Deem
Der with a two-horse pillow. Would you
turn it again this winter. The land is
light gray with yellow subsoil. Cotton
rusts some on this land. Kindly advise
me how to prepare the land, when to
plant and kind Of fertilizer to use.
BY all means turn the land which you
propose to put in cotton next year and
which has been in corn for two years.
We think it an advantage to keep a
cover crop on the land during the fall
and winter whenever possible, as this
prevents teaching, and If a Iegume is
used In combination with a cereal, some
grazing may be obtained from the land,
washing prevented and the soil enrich
ed bu turning under the crop early in
the spring. While we favor the early
planting of cotton, we think the mistake
is often made in trying to plant too ear
ly; so early in fact that cold rains and
bad weather generally necessitate re-
planting. OF course, we realize how diff
ficut 1t is to have a crop on the land
and break II up and get 1t in shape suf-

true, we as a rule prepare our cotton
land by deep blowing in the late fall or
early winter, leaving the soil in as rough
a condition as possible so 1t will hold
water TO better advantages. - After a
while land that is deficient in vegetable
matter will crust over, and there is
great tendency to wash unless the field
is very level. We overcome this. of
course. by preserving our terraces intact
when plowing the land and by running
the disk over the soil which breaks up
the crust and further pulverlzes the land
which is an advantage. BY breaking the
crust more water is absorbed and wash
ing and erosion prevented.
Land such as you describe and which
has grown two crops of corn IN success
sion should be literally fertiliEed. We
would suggest that you use two to four
tons of compost per acre. This may be
made up of rich woods earth and leaf
mold obtained from the forest and which
lie we'll decayed and to which you have
added some phosphates and potash. You
might mix LOO pounds of leaf mold or
well rotted manure with $50 pounds of
high grade acid phosphate and so pounds
of muriate OF potash. A ton of this
mixture would equal in fertilizing value
800 TO 600 pounds Of 1922 fertilizer. We
think a better plan still would be to put
at least two TO four tons or we'll rotted
farmyard manure in the drill rows and
mix well with the soil. Then we would
use at least 500 to 800 pounds Of
3-lo-6 or fertilizer. We would
advise the use of the higher amount of
potash because of the cotton rusting on
your land. which is due to an impover-
ished soil in some of the essential ele-
ments of plant food, notably potash.
Therefore, you should use liberal amount
of potash. We have found the method
of fertilization suggested a very admit
rable one. and this year on selected areas
in our demonstration field have secured
more than two bales per acre of Cook 8
cotton.

Many Of the separate skirts in the

this way, the tunic closing at one side
OF the front under a row of fancy but

to be a great favorite.
A significant evidence of a new era
Is the shorter skirt, which is now seen
on quite dressy toilettes for afternoon
wear. The limp, scant trailing direct
ORE skirt is particularly a thing OF the
past. for which Cue thanks should be
given to the makers of fashion. There

FADS AND FASHIONS.

New York, Sept. II. - Never Were
styles more unsettled and never did
the designers and makers of dresses
have more freedom to display their in
ventive genius than at the present
time. The features which stand forth,
however, amid this bewidering var
iety Of styles and effects are the over
skirt, the separate bodice. the high
crown hat the extravanagtnly long
waist line and the pannier. These
features epitomize the fashion news
from Paris for fall and winter styles.
The return of the overskirt should
be welcomed by the textile manufac-
turers as we'll as the consumers The
use of overskirts means the use of
more material in dresses, but it also
gives women an opportunity to dress
becomingly. as overskirts are invari-
ably becoming to nearly every woman.
A clever hand can arrange folds cum
ningly so as to disguise figure defects
and reveal beautiful lines, and for some
reason or other the overskirt almost
always gives jaunty, youthful effect
to skirt OF walking length.
Where overskirts are not expressly
provided. they are suggested by the
cut of the skirt or the manner of trim
ming. sometimes the deep hip yoke ex-

this order, with wide. loose. diagonal

of the most charming pieces was of a

dark green was mixed very lightly
and equally soft blush amethyst. the
faded amethyst that was Partisan fad
during the spring. The two coiorings
tone perfectly with each other and pro
duced a delightful neutral tone hard
to analyze a distance, and by no
means striking or unbecoming.
Another very successful color scheme
was in a smoky gray brown with a
mere hint of dull re drose. The mix
ture Of red was so slight that the ma
terial was not in the least bright or
aggressive. yet it added a delightful
warmth to the neutral brown and ad-
ded character. Some of the blue and
green mixtures were good too. odd new
shades of green giving novelty to the
ever popular color scheme, and there
were also dark gray and purple mix
