Way to Escape Misery OF
Digestive Troubles.

William A. Ernst of 1854 Richards
Street, Milwaukee, was a victim OF
stomach disorders which made him
miserable most of the time He was
often unable to work and he suffered
severely.
Mr.. Ernst took Mayr's Wonderful

GRANDMA'S UNCOMFORTABLE
TIME AT A RECEPTION


In the March Womans. Home Com
panion, Katherine Holland Brown,
writing a story, makes the following
comment in regard to old people and
receptions
wait till you're seyenty-six, going
on seventy-seven. You'll learn how
it feels to stand for hours in a
tight heavy gown, your shaky old
head weighted with puffs and orna-
ments, your feet scuffling in cruel
high-heeled shoes. Somebody always
stands behind you, gaily tanning neu-
ritis into your shoulders. Somebody
else stands in front, and makes you
talk till you're croaking- hoarse. And
If you escape with a week of aches
you'll do well.

Mrs. Crow was the only child

was born in Monroe on March

Mr.. w. H. Crow, and two daugh-
ters. Misses Mary and Adeline
Crow, were born and all of them
survive.
For many months Mrs. Crow
was greatly afflicted and she suf-
fered much, but she possessed a
brave spirit and made a strong,
hard fight for life.
She was from girlhood mem

was a great church worker,

Two Deaths.

Mr.. Jettie F. Rodgers, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. G.. Nj. Rodgers,
died at his home about a mile
north of Pageland Saturday

was nearly % years old, was
member of Mt. Pisgah Baptist
church and a good honest,
straightforward young man.
He had been suffering with con-
sumption for a long time, and
his death was not entirely unex-
pected. He is survived by his
wife and 3 children.
Mrs. Lula Presson, wife of MIR.
Mark Presson, of Lanes Creek
township, died last Friday after
noon, after an illness of several
months with consumption. She

A. Terry. Her husband and 2
children survive.
The funeral was held over
both bodies at Zion Methodist
church Saturday about noon.
The bodies were carried into the
church at the same time, to the
grave at the same time and low
cred into the graves at the same
moment. Rev. ]. A. McGraw
conducted the double funeral,
and a large crowd was in atten-
dance.

truck crops for fall market.
The one thing that stands
more in the way of the farmers
doing the best by themselves is
the poor equipment in the way
OF improved tillage implements
and good work stock. The
farmer who has followed the
advice of The Progressive
Farmer and has possessed him
self of disk harrows, weeders,
spike-tooth harrows, two-horse
cu'tivators, etc., has a great ad-
vantage, not only in getting his
land ready for crops to be plant
ed, but in taking care of the
crops that must be cultivated
regularly now when cultivation
means more than at any other
time.

Guilty to a large extent.

The cowpea has the advantage
in being able to grow if put in
under unfavorable conditions
ANY sort of preparation and any
sort of planting will seldom fail
to get a stand, althought they
will probably respond to good
preparation just as we'll as other
crops.
For hay, the cowpea is propab-
ly the better if sowed broadcasted.
The soy bean does better blant-
ed in rows and cultivated. For
grazing crops for hogs the pea
nuts and the soy bean have dis
tinctly an advantage. The soy
beans are more easily aud cheap
ly grown, but the peanut will
probably furnish the most feed.
On the acreage of these two
crops will largely depend the
economy with which the hogs
will be fattened this fall.
Every acre of stubble lands
should 90 into soy beans, cow
peas or peanuts, except that
which was seeded to lespedeze
or some clover this spring or last
fall. We realize the difficulties,
but the advantages are sufficient
to justify all the efforts necessary
to overcome these difficulties.
If the stubble lands are disked
just as soon as the oats and
wheat are cut-once, or twice if
necessary-and thebreaking done
a few days later and Immediately
the same day followed by
another disking, there will not be
much trouble about getting a
seed-bed.
1t will pay to 60 to a great deal
of trouble to overcome all diff
culties in the way of sowing the
stubble lands to some legume.

The Summer Traveller.

The papers have been talking
a good deal about the hog who
fills one seat in the train with his
luggage and the other with his
feet, and is blind to the comfort
and convenience of his fellow
travellers. There is another
specimen and he is the man who
will not surrender his seat to the
tired woman with the fretful
child. Hdweeef. II & y1l -
enters with whom hei is acquainfs
ed and whose favor he IS anxi-
Gus tc secure, he is ready to
break his neck for her comfort.
He thinks he is polite but he is
mistaken. Politeness is a stran-
ger to a thing like that. He SUBJ
scribes to the theory that it pays
to be polite. 1t may or may not
paw, but the gentleman does not
stop to consider that. Real gen.
tility grows only in the soil of
unSelfShneSS and the man who
is courteous to a pretty woman
and rude to one who looks plain
and poor, is as far from being a
gentleman as the east is from the
west. On a crowded train is a
good place to test the breeding
of a traveller; and the harder it is
to get a seat the more does gen.
uine courtesy shine. 1t is so easy
to be considerate and thoughtful
when it costs one nothing; the
test of the matter comes when
a surrender of selfish pleasure
must be made. From now on
through the summer season the
young and strong will be travel
ing along with the feeble and
the weak. We admonish our
young men who read these lines
to think on these things, and
remember the golden rule. A
bent and wrinkled old woman
with fly bonnet may not be
much to you, but she is to some
body. A crowd of strong young
fellows who will allow woman
like that to stand in the aisles will
never be worth a row of bone
collar buttons in this world

Is a good time o(be con.

~ that good fall and winter
pld wing is profitable. 1t is the
fields so plowed that are now
holding up best and it is such
fields that will be most easily
and perfectly prepared when the
drouth is over.
The stands of cotton and corn
are becoming poorer and poorer
each day and it may be necess-
ary to abandon some of the land
now seeded to these crops.
Throughout the cotton area
there are many crops that may
be planted in June and July.
These crops should be carefully
considered now and such of
them planted to appropriate
areas as will supply the needs of
the farm due consideration being
given their adaptability to the
locality.
Corn, of course, is one of if
not the most important crop thai
may be planted in June. Corn
will mature and under normal
conditions produce a fair crop
when planted by July in North
Carolina and Tennessee and
southwark. Where cotton is
abandoned, corn may be planted
without additional pulverization
Corn planted this late should moi
be planted on a bed or ridge-a
water furrow would be better
though it IS probable that level
planting will, if proper cultiva-
ton is given, give best results
oftener than nine out of ten
times.
Cowpeas, soy beans, peanuts,
sweet potatoes, and the sor-
gums may be planted any time
in June. Corn and these crops
just named are both human and
animal foods, and may be profit
ably for the hays and grasses
that consume so much of the
hard-earned cotton money. Diff
ferent ones of these classes, with
their numerous varieties, afford
strains adapted to all conditions
throughout the cotton section.
Other crops that may be grown
are turnips, chufas, the several
millets, and a large number of

Lessons OF The Dry Spell.

BY C. Newman, N. C. A. g. M. College
The disastrous drouth prevail
ing over so large a portion of
The Progressive Farmers terri
tory as this is written calls for
the keenest intelligence that its
effects may as far as possible be
averted and compensated for.
The yields of some crops have
already been so reduced as to
cause alarm.
Two things should now be
done: I'd Every effort should be
made to select substitute crops
and have everything in readiness
to sow them as soon as rain
brings relief. (2 While the dry
weather endures cultivation of
growing crops should continue
at intervals by using implements
which will crush and lightly
compact the surface of the soil,
than a dense and fine earth
mulch may be maintained. This
will 60 a long way towards trap
ping the soil moisture that is so
rapidly passing into the air these
hot days. For this work any
surface-stirring implement avail
able may be used that will do
the work we'll, but shallow.
Weeders and harrows with many
teeth are good. A plank float
or drag or clod crusher will be
excellent on some soils. The
nature of the soil will, of course,
to some extent, control the selec-
ton Of the implement best suited.
In no case should the soil be
turned over if it can be avoided.
Work that should be done
later but may appropriately be
done now should be done so that
undivided attention may be
