The New System
Of Growing Cotton

The new system of growing
cotton to combat the boil weevil
would deserve the careful study
of Southwest Georgia farmers
even though the danger of the
pests invading this section were
not so imminent as it is claimed
to be.
The new system involves the
shortening of the growing season
OF cotton and reducing the num-
Der of vegetative branches, which
produce no bolls, but whose dense
foliage produces the most favor
able conditions for the propaga-
ton of the dreaded pest.
The federal government in its
exhaustive study Of the boil Wee
vii problem urges the adoption of
this new system, and the agri-
cultural departments of the vari-
Gus cotton-growing states are
working along the same lines.
Boil Weevil or no boil weevil, it
seems that the new system should
prove an improvement over the
old in many ways.
Diversification of crops as an
added protection against the boil
weevil is also to be desired, re
CARELESS of the threatened invas-
ion.
If the threat of the pests COM
ing brings these changed condi-
tons about, and enforces improv-
ed methods of farming, it will
prove to be a blessing in diguise,
except to those individuals who
are caught unprepared, Albany

King Constipation

Tone. Thousands Who
Once Feared Constipation
Now Laugh At It

It's little wonder that constipa-
ton, has been called the king of
Human Ills.''
Not that constipation in itself is
so dangerous, or so alarming, but
that constipation so surely leads
to many and dangerous conplica-
tons. At least so people out of

time or other by constipation's

But thank goodness thousands
have found a safe-and- pleasant
way to stop constipation. And it's
not by calomel dosing either, be-
cause calomel is anything but safe.
It's by taking Dodson's Liver
Tone, the harmless vegetable liquid
which is recommended and guar
anteed bY Denmark Drug 20.
Dodson's Liver Tone is fast dis
placing the use of dangerous Gallo
mel. This is because Dodson's
Liver lone 'accomplishes exactly
the9same results as does calomel,
but without the dreaded and dis
agreeable after-effects which often
follow the use of calomel
Dodson's Liver Tone should be

SHAME

There is a certain family in
Ocilla that is very careless about
their back yards. Tin cans are
thrown in the yard and left there.
The rain comes and fills these cans
and mosquitoes are breeding in
great numbers. One can hardly
sit on the porch at night in any
part of town for the mosquitoes.
This ought not to be and can be
prevented. If that family will
clean up their premises, and see
that there is not a tin can, buck
ct, or anything left that could
catch and hold water the mosqui-
toes will disappear.
In addition to the annoyance
caused by mosquito bites, modern
science tells us so that we can
not doubt it, that malaria is con-
tracted solely through the agency
OF mosquito bites. If you allow
mosquitoes to dine on you at will
you may expect to be sick.
No, we are not going to tell you
the name Of that DELLA family
that is endangering their own
health and that Of their neighbors
by carelessness. If you want to
know, just take a look about your
own house, and if the description
fits, why, your family is the one
W e are talking about. Cecilia,
