GOOD PLACES
FOR The FARM
Make More Money Tilling the
Land Now.
Prof. SOule Thrilled With the FrGs-
poets Of Agriculture in Georgia
aud the South GeneralIy---TalES
Over Outlook With COV..EIeCt Smith.

Atlanta, Ca. January 5.-"The de-
mand for information on agricultural
subjects and calls for agricultural ex-
perts over the state has become a
problem that really demands atten-
tion,' declared DR.. A NJ Soule, pres
ident OF the State Agricultural Col
lege at Athens. In company with }.
PHI Campbell, professor of school ex-
tension, and R. F. Duckworth, presi-
dent of the Farmers union. DR.
Soule called on Governor elect Hoke
Smith and discussed the agricultu-
raj interests of the state.
Last September Richmond county
employed E. S. Sell, graduate of the
State Agricultural College, who is en-
gagged in teaching and demonstration
work that has proven a boon to the
farmers. Requests for other gradu
ates have come from various counties
to the college, but within the past
few months five men have declined of
fers of 1900 year each for posi-
lions, preferring to go back to their
own farms and sections where they
can make more money
Dr. Soule is quite enthusiastic over
the interest that is now being shown
throughout the state on the subject
of agriculture, but deplores the lack
of funds which prevents the dissem
ination of information and putting OF
trained men in the field He points out
that the federal government is ready
and willing; in fact is already at work
aiding the cause. He believes that
several thousand dollars spent in the
work of surveying the state from an
agricultural viewpoint will work Won
ders and inconnection with this work
the federal government will coop
crate.
DR.. Soule commended the efforts of
Governor-elect Hoke Smith, who is
DESTROYS of bringing about improved
methods for the Georgia farmer. Pro-
fessor Campbell spoke of the enthus-
iastic interest that is being displayed
in the organization of boys corn clubs
as already thirty of theseorganiza
tions have been made. Mr.. Duckworth
heartily endorsed the movement to-
wards the betterment of the agricul-
tural interests of the state and de
clared that the fresh impetus given
the subject will undoubtedly bring
about untold good results

RHEUMKTISN
WEAK KIDNEYS &THlN BLOOD

Not only is the blood the great
rourishing source of our systems, but
equally as important is its work OF
removing the waste of oxodized it's
sues which have been consumed in
force and bodily heat. This waste is
filtered out through the kidneys.
When, however, the kidneys become
weak and unable to perform theft
regular duties, the waste is allowed
to remain in the circulation, soon
forming uric acid which DESTROYS the
greater portion of nourishing elements
of the blood and leave it weak and
acrid. This imperfect blood deposits
into the different muscles and Joints
the uratic iinpurity with which it is
contaminated. Then the pains and
aches of Rheumatism commence. The
gritty formation which uric acid
causes collects in the joints and pro-
duces the aches and stiffness which
always accompany the disease. Like
wise the muscles are coated and lose
their elasticity, while the continual
irritation to the nerves produces SWELL
ing and Inflammation of the flesh.
