DISASTROUS RESULTS

The farmers of the district imme diately about the government eXperi mental date farm are the victims of farming operations have been suspend ed. owing to the great amount of irri- gation on the higher lands the water has risen on the farms of the lower section and in many instances is stand ing on the surface and over a large area is only few inches beneath the top of the ground. This situation is a very grave one and demands immedi- ate attention. The farmers can not prosper when the soil will not produce and yet they are unable 10 get together on the drainage questi, n.

COTTON FOR NORMAL FARM

Under the direction of Prof J. B. Griffing, head of the department of agriculture for the Normal school, the larger part of the school farm is be- ing prepared for cotton. The venture is one to experiment upon the best variety of cotton for this immediate locality as well as the best conditions under which the fiber will thrive. The farm with the exception of the garden plots, has been thoroughly fer tilized and well cultivated in way of preparation and the very best of re- suits are expected. Last year there were only a few stalks of cotton pro duced on the school farm. but these did so well that Prof. Griffing thought it wise to undertake the project on a larger scale. Planting will start in the next day or so and most of the work will be conducted by the stu dents of the school in order that they may derive the benefit therefrom. | They likewise will attend to the cul- | tivating and possibly the harvesting next fall.

Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When people realize the Injurious
effects Of coffee and the change in
health that Postum can bring, they are
usually glad to lend their testimony
for the benefit of others.
MY mother, since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drinker,
had been troubled with her heart for q
number Of years and complained of
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago was making a
visit to a distant part of the country
and took dinner with one OF the
merchants Of the place. i noticed q
somewhat unusual favour OF the 'cof-
fee and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum.
Il was so pleased with 1t that, after
the meal was over, l bought package
to carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family were SO well pleased
with 1t that we discontinued coffee and
used Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time. she felt SO
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart, and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not SO frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was well and
hearty.

A country boy was leaving home
to make a living, and probably
name for himself. His father and
mother had given him some money
and great deal of advice. He had
a situation in a distant city, and, as
he had never taken kindly to farm
work, It looked like a good opportun-
ity for him.
"But there's one thing I wanter say
ter ye." the old man said, as he hand
ed the boy his luggage out of the
wagon at the station, "and want you
to understand that say it in all kind
ness. You are going into the world
