P. S.-If the editor of The Pro-
gressive Farmer and Gazette will
consider moment he will see that
II the statements which he makes
were true. he could take the
evidence which he is supposed to
have, and on which he bases such
broad and fearfully condemnatory
statements, to the agents of the
United States Government, turning
over the evidence to them, and
have the patent medicine fakirs en-
tlrely put out Of business. The Gov
eminent is spending many thousands
OF dollars annually to discover lust
such patent medicine fakirs and to
put them out of business. 1t would
be such an easy thing for the editor
OF The Progressive Farmer and Ga
zette to sweep all of them of of the
lace OF the earth by simply furnish
ing information to the proper au-
thorities. If the editor of the The
Progressive Farmer and Gazette
hasn't the address of the U. s. Gov
ernment we will be glad to furnish it.

acid phosphate at the rate Of $50 to
200 pounds per acre. A blind man
could find how far phosphate was
used on the land. We plant from
June 18th to July 18th for grain and
and hay.
We plant peas in corn, using about
one-half bushel to one bushel per
acre. Often the peas pay the cost of
making the corn, not counting the
nitrogen left in the soil by the peas.
Peas planted in drills are given one
or two workings with cultivator,

Land for peanuts is broken as for
peas, and cultivated and fertilized
about the same, and planted from
May 18th to June 18th. BY this
method we can kill the grass and
weeds to great extent before the crop
is planted. For peas the hoe is not
used at all, only one hoeing for pea
nuts. We plant the Spanish variety
only, because it is so much better
than any other peanut we know Of.

facts, than to carry medical adver-
tiSement.
Now, we are writing this to you
to let you know that if you can
prove your statements against any
of the publications of our list, or
against any religious weeklies in the
country, we pledge ourselves not to
permit the advertising which you
can prove to be fakir advertising to
go into any publications with which
we are connected. We are willing
to sacrifice the income from any
such lines Of advertising and we will
be glad to assist you in discovering
any information which can be had
which will substantiate the charges.
ALI that we ask you to do is that If
you cannot substantiate your charges
that. like man, you come out be-
fore the readers Of your paper. and
admit that you have made mis-state
ments; that you have made charges
against people who were innocent
and withdraw your charges.
We wish to call your attention also
to the fact that you have never re-
turned the money which you charged
for patent medicine ADVERTISING sew
eral years ago. when you, presuma-
bly,, by your own standards, were
agents for vicious Quacks and pat
ent medicine fakirs and assisted
them to rob the sick and dying. de-
luding the suffering with false hopes
until all chance of recovery through
proper medical treatment was for
ever gone. That was at date when
there was no Pure Food and Drugs
Act and when your statement might
have approximated to facts in some
instances. In other words, when
your charge, might have been true
against The Progressive Farmer. II
the crime was committed, then ought
not the money to be returned which
was paid you for such a perfidious
purpose? Ought you not to admit
that you have fattened on this very
line Of criminal advertising and
ought you not to make restitution for
the evils of former days? When one
becomes an apostle Of purity one
should repent SO thoroughly as to
bequit OF all of the profits of his
wickedness. We are ready to receive
back for the advertisers, whom you
now SO vigorously condemn, any
moneys which your conscience may
induce you to return and will take
pleasure in returning the money to
the advertisers.
Yours sincerely,

Editorial COmment.-In this COM
munication, which we are glad to get,
is an Illustration of the manner in
which the Southern farmer is still
welded to the one-horse plow. Our
correspondent breaks his land with a
two-horse plow, but re-plows it with
one-horse plow. Why this one
horse plow? A disk harrow will do
better work, and with it three horses
and one man will do more work than
three men with one-horse plows. The
plow, one-horse or two-horse, is too
slow and expensive an implement for
preparing the soil. except to first
break the land.

IN DEFENSE OF PATENT MEDICINES.

Smart Lawyer-Iike a Southern Advertising
Agency Handling Patent Medicine BusinessRead This Letter
and Then Read Editor Poe's Reply Page 8.
The progressive farmer and southern farm gazette., 1910-05-21

Messrs. Editors: We have received
copy of your issue of April 23rd
and note paragraph on page IL, last
paragraph in article ON third column
headed: "You Will Die Eight Years
Before You Should" This paragraph
reads as follows:
"The greatest disgrace of all
is that hundreds and hundreds
of church newspapers instead of
carrying life and healing as
their great Master did. make
themselves agents of vicious
Quacks and patent medicine
fakirs who rob the sick and dy-
ing. often deluding the suffering
with false hopes, until all chance
of recovery through proper
medical treatment Is forever
g0ne."
We have always esteemed the ed
itor Of The Progressive Farmer and
Gazette as man Of poise. common
sense and rectitude. We don't think
it conceivable that such an utter
Misrepresentation of the facts would
be knowingly published in The Pro-
gressive Farmer and Gazette. We
are well acquainted with the religious
press Of America. The statement
that Hundreds and hundreds of
church newspapers make themselves
agents OF vicious Quacks and patent
medicine fakirs. etc.. is false state
ment. Hundreds must mean at least
two hundred. added to hundreds
must mean at least two hundred
more, SO that your statement must
mean at least four hundred religious
newspapers are guilty Of the charge
made.
We are pretty we'll acquainted with
tne religious newspapers in America
and can assure you that in the South,
which constitutes one-third Of the
population Of the United States, the
number of religious weeklies which
carry medical advertising Of any kind
does not exceed fifty. and for the
United States the number could
hardly exceed one hundred. So that
on the fact of the statement admit
ting that every religious weekly is
guilty of the charge, If it carries any
medical advertising. you would still
be ESQ papers short of your state
ment.
Now. publisher who will make q
mis-statement in figures is liable to
make mis-statement also in facts.
That is exactly what you have done
In this article.
The Pure Food and Drugs Act.
passed several years ago by Congress
and now In operation. makes it ut
terly impossible for such q thing as
q patent medicine fakir to exist. II
you will read the law. and If you will
study the workings of the law you
Will md this to be the case. Where.
then. are the patent medicine fakirs
and the vicious Quacks. who employ
the religious newspaper weeklies as
their agents. in dealing out deaths
to the public rs stated by you? Can
you not specify? Is it right for you
to set yourself up as a moral leader.
while. yourself, using mis-statements,
unsupported by facts. statements
which you do not believe yourself.
and on which you have no testimony
that Is reliable. would it not be better
