DRAINAGE TO WARM THE
SOIL.

Hopkins says it requires five
times as much heat to evaporate
a given quantity of water from
the soil as to raise the tempera-
ture of the same quantity of wa.
ter from the freezing to the boil
ing point.
A young friend reading this
asked what that had to do with
practical farming? 1t has much
to do with temperature of the soil,
especially In the spring of the
year, and the temperature largely
controls the early growth of the
plant. A wet soil is a cold soil
and a cold soil is a late one.
Hence, in crop growing, like cot
ton in the presence of the boil
weevils. when an early start and
rapid growth are necessary to a
good crop. a wet soil means fail
ure, not alone because Of the ex-
cess of water but also because Of
the low temeprature which its
evaporation produces. If any
one doubts that a wet soil is a
cold one. let him bare his arm. or
any part not generally exposed,
wet it and then wave it in the lar
or allow the wind to blow over it.
The sensation of cold will be pro-
nounced because of the heat in the
part being used up in evaporat-
ing the water.
For these reasons a well
drained soil is essential to cotton
production under boil weevil at
tacks, because the cotton must
beat the weevil in it's development
or later in the season the weevils
will destroy all the squares put
on by the plant. Dark-colore1
soils or those welf filed with
humus. if we'll drained, are also
warmer than light-colored soils,
because dark colors absorb more
heat. The physical condition of
Southern soils must be improved
and drainage and humus are the
most important steps towards this
needed improvement Also early
crops are usually best and early
crops are grown only on well
drained or worm soils.-The Pro-
gressive Farmer.

since it means "the progress and

that this unrest Of the nations

GOOD STOMACH.
This Offer Should Be. q Warning
to Every Man and Woman.

The newspapers and medical
journals recently have had much
to say relative to a famous mil
lionaire's offer of million dol
lars for new stomach.
This great mrlti-millionaire was
too busy to worry about the con-
dition of his stomach. He al
lowed his dyspepsia to run from
bad to more until in the end it
became incurable.
His misfortune serves as a
warning to others.
Every one who suffers with
dyspepsia for a few years will
give everything be owns for a
new stomach.
Dyspepsia is commonly caused
by an abnormal state of the gas
tric juices, or by lack Of tone in
the walls of the stomach. The re-
suit is that the stomach loses its
power to digest food.
We are now able to supply GER
tain missing elements-to help to
restore to the gastric juices their
digestive power, and to aid In
making the stomach strong and
well.
We know that Rexall Dyspep-
sia Tablets are a most dependable
remedy for disordered stomachs,
Indigestion, and dyspepsia.
We want you to try them and
will return your money if you are
not more than satisfied with the
result.

The total volume of our inland
trade for the year, says DUN
Review, was of more than fair
proportions. while our foreign
commerce was notably larger
than in any preceding year. -
According to this authority, "the
most notable event of the year

gate volume of business, came in

The dying year bequeathed the
United States Government a def
icit of 500. 100000, which is ma
terially more than the deficit Of
twelve months ago. Also, the
3.066 miles of new railroad built
during the year was 25 per cent
less than the new mileage of 1910.
And altho 1911 witnessed a rec
ord-brPaking production of gold,
many editors hesitate about en-
ter ng this item on the credit side
of the ledger. For. as the New
York Commercial explains, :" such
a vast increase in production in
recent years probably has some
thing to do with the high cost of
necessaries of life, for gold is
as well las money, J
and the supply naturally affects
the price as measured by other ;
things"
