HAVE DARK HAIR
AND LOOK YOUNG
Nobody Can Tell When You Darker
Gray, Faded Hair With Sage
Tea. ;

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
full darkened, glossy and attractive
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Whenever her hair took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied,
with wonderful effect. By asking at
any drug store for "Wyth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" you will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
improved by the addition of other in
gredints, all ready to use, at very lit
tie cost. This simple mixture a be
depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sag and
Sulphur Compound now beause it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
it's so easy to use, too. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and
draw it through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two, it is restored to
its natural color and looks glossy,
soft and beautiful. This preparation
is a delightful toilet requisite. It
is not intended for the cure, mitiga-
ton or prevention of disease.-Adv.

WINTER GARDENS.
(By Miss Mary B. MARTINI

(By Miss Mary B. Martin.)
If you are neglecting the import
ant duty of growing a fall and win
ter garden, let me urge that you be-
gin making preparations for this at
once.
Select your winter plat, lime it
we'll, and use plenty of leaf mold
and we'll rotted compost as fertilizer.
A large proportion of humus Or de-
cayed vegetable material in the soil
is essential because it insures the pre-
sence of beneficial bacteria releasing
plant food from mineral matter and
increases the amount of moisture in
the soil. Fertilizers which furnish
the plant food should be selected
with care. Nitrogen is furnished by
turning under we'll ~decomposed barn
yard fertilizer and rotted vegetable
material. Excrement from poultry
houses precipitates the growth of
plants Tor rapidly than most chemi-
cal fertilizer. 1t is possible to grow
two or three crops of some vegeta-
bles in one season, and if these are
correctly selected u own home
grown vegetables are better and
cheaper than those found on the
market.
We cannot emphasize too greatly
the Importance of a good seed bed,
which is insured by deep blowing and
careful narrowing rendering the soil
in a pulverized condition, that gives
a growth of stocky young plants.
Select the garden plot in {. locality
if possible, which will be subjected
to at least five hours of sunshine
during the day. Tomatoes and egg
plants must have the sunniest of all
locations. Foliage crops such as let
tuce, spinach, mustard, kale, etc., do
moderately we'll in the shade, but
they should have at least three hours
each day of sun.
! Sow cabbage seed about first of
September and transplant in October
or when three or four inches high.
The Charleston Wakefield is a good
variety to use.
Turnips not only furnish good food
for the table but for stock as we'll.
Drill seed in September into well
pulverized soil, and when 3 or 4

SELLING PIONEERING BULBS.

81 have large quantities Of the
yellow b]uttercups or dafodils Of the
Narcissus family. Have heard that
these are very salable in the North.
Could l make a market for them?"
While there are millions of Mar
cissus bulbs grown not far from you
in southeast Virginia, and are sold to
the Northern trade, you could not
sell those in your garden simply be-
cause they are unnamed. To sell to
the Northern trade you must grow
the named varieties, for the trade
will not take those without name.
The leading varieties are the EN-
peror and Empress, Glory of Leiden,
Golden Spur, Sir Watkin, and the
Double daffodil Won Sion. We'll
grown and we'll ripened bulbs OF
these varieties will sell readily.

UNITED STATES DEPART
MENT OF AGRICULTURE
URGES COOPERATION

Many producers fail to ie"eive
the highest returns for their pro-
ducts because they do not pay suf-
fcient attention to their marketing
problems. In many instances, this is
due to the fact that the output of the
individual growers is not sufficiently
large to enable them to gain extern
sive market information or find the
best outlets for their products. A
cooperative association when pro-
perly organized and operated fire.
quently renders efficient service to
communities of such producers.
It is important that all ctmmuni-
ties contemplating marketing this
seasons products comparatively,
should take immediate steps to per-
feet an organization for this pur-
pose if they have not already done
so. A community intending to form
a cooperative marketing organization
should select representative commit
tees of producers to ascertain the
need for cooperative effort, the
amount of business available for
such an enterprise and the support
it is likely to receive, and to formu-
late plans and draft suitable bylaws
for the organization. Transports
ton problems are also of prime i'm
portance and should receive careful
attention by the association.
Grades and standards should be
formulated if they have not already
been established. Likewise a system
of inspection should be decided upon
in order that the products shipped
will be of proper grade, quality and
uniformity.-U. S. Department OF

News for the Farmer
WHY SELL COTTON NOW?

When cotton was selling at SIX or
seven cents a pound and that was the
cost of production tint producer was
compelled by his creditors to carry 1t
to market so soon as it was harvested
When it was selling at IA cents a
pound it seems that even the small
farmer should have been in a position
more independent and that he might
have been able to withhold at least a
substantial part of his crop from the
market for a time. In those days
there must have been some margin OF
profit in the cotton growing industry.
Were the price today to jump to 4O
cents a pound, would the necessity
still confront the tenant farmer VINO
has given a mortgage to deliver his
whole product to the creditor? We
are prompted to ask the question by
the observation of Mr.. Thomas,
whose letter we print today. Its a
great pity the farmers have always
been forced by creditors to sell cot
ton at this season when prices are
always so ridiculously low. There is
no legitimate excuse for cotton being
as low as 10 cents at this particular
time of the year. The great trouble
is now as always that the spectators
are never asleep on the job. They
know that a large portion of the crop
will be sold regardless of price,"
1t is not quite possible for The
State to believe that most of the cot
ton now going to market is sold I'M
der the spur of necessity. If that be
the case, it must follow that there is
an absence of relationship between
high prices and the independence of
the producer. If 20 cents cotton
yields him more freedom than he
had when the staple fetched one
third that price, the inference would
be legitimate that his slavery would
continue if the price were 60 cents
a pound.
In our opinion the tendency to
glut the market now is explained by
the craving of the farmers to obtain
cash and buy luxuries and comforts.
Too many of them r pretty we'll
content with 20 cents. They do not
reflect that they are losing money
when they sell their product for less
than it is worth, however the present
price be tempting, That the farmer
now has a profit Of seven or eight
cents a pound in cotton is no reason
why he should not try to get a profit
of Is cents and he ought to be in
formed that of this an excellent
chance is to be considered. Un-
doubtedly a campaign of education
should begin at once and meetings
such as that planned on the 9th
inst. are advisable. There. is no rea-
son in the world why a man who has
a bale of cotton in these times should
hurriedly convert it into money or
that in the meantime he should be
without money.-The State.

RAISE MORE CORN
AND LESS WATER

Washington, D. c., Sept. 29.-lt
sometimes becomes necessary to do
heavy work, such as hauling water to
pat out fire, but what's the use OF
hauling water from the cornfields to
the feed lot, and hauling it back
again to the fields in the shape OF
un-eaten c~ornstalks? Very tall
growing corn when sappy and lmma-
ture is almost all water and so IS
wet ~cornstalk manure.
It used to be that many growers
prided themselves on the great height
of their corn-stalks. The more sue
cessful farmers, however, have ceased
to haul water from the cornfields to
the feed lot in the form of coarse
stalks which remain uneaten and
haul it back to the fields in the shape
of wet cornstalk manure. They do
not grow tall stalks and often pro-
ftably allow animals to gather the
grain, leaving the stalks in the fields
to enrich the soil.
A co-operator in the Departments
corn work grows a bodybuilding va
riety of corn, the stalks of which
reach a height of about six feet
while his neighbor grows a big,
twelve-foot variety. In helping each
other shred their crops, the neigh
boris ~tall-growing corn was shredded
first, The stalks were bulky and
high loads were hauled from the
fields to the shredder. When be-
ginning the shredding of the COM
petitor's corn, which that year pro-
duced over 100 bushels of dry she'll
ed corn per acre, the neighbor put
on the accustomed high load, and his
team could not pull it out of the
field. He got down off the load to
make an examination, thinking the
rack must be pressing against the
wheels. The competitor told him
he would have to take off a part of
the load, to which he replied that he
did not have on a big load and was
accustomed to hauling larger loads.
After being convinced that it was
the weight of the load that stalled
his team, they removed a portion
and hauled the balance to the shred
der, from which they obtained forty
bushels of corn, or almost a ton and
a half of al
What variety of ri should you
plant? Since there are thousands
of so-called varieties, it is not posi-
BILE to designate by name the variety
you should plant. Furthermore, with
corn, there is very little in a name.
Two lots of seed of the Leaning
variety sometimes differ from each
other more than two varieties differ
from one another. An accurate test
of two different lots of the Boone
County White variety resulted in one
lot producing eighteen bushels more
per acre than the other lot. Quality
is what counts and the varietal name
does not designate quality
Plant a variety that has made
good in your neighborhood. Plant
seed which was grown in your part
of the state and was properly field
selected and properly cared for dur

CY MORGAN PLACED
 ON INJURED LIST Umpire Suffered Broken Collarb0ne in Saturdays
 Game at Redwood

Umpire Cy Morgan will be out of service in the Southern league for the next few days. The former big league hurler suffered a broken collar bone from a foul tip off the bat of Jack Smith of the Lookouts in the second in- ming of Saturdays game at Redwood. The ball was foul of one of Ralph Comstock's fast spitters and struck Morgan a solid blow.
 President Baugh stated last night that no one would be named to fill the vacancy while Morgan was out of the game. The arbiter will hardly be on the sick list for more than three days
 An X-ray picture of the injury was made yesterday morning. It was not known until then that the injury was as serious.
 Morgan was umpiring behind the bat at the time of the injury. He shifted places with Dan Pfinninger, who was officiating on the bases, and continued the game, all of which speaks well for NhiS gameness.
 Morgan was scheduled to work in Memphis today. President Baugh kept the wires hot yesterday morning and has shifted his umpires so that all important series will be covered by two men.

Keep Young-For Johns Sake


 Good grooming, well brushed, glossy and becomingly coiffed hair give moral support and are very much worth while to the middle-aged woman" says Myra Livingstone Reading in the Mothers Magazine.
 Clothes are a very important part of the rejuvenation of any woman, she con- tinues, and they are feature of her revived interest in her appearance that will quickly bring from her family and from her friends the favorable comments which she needs as a stimulus. The days when a woman of 35 or 40 took to caps and old age are past, and dainty, festive collars are not taboo, even for an elderly woman now. Use your pretty things don't save them for the girls to wear later. If you do save them, probably when you bring them out five years from nov the girls will say that they are old far hioned and they will want something else. If new hat is to be bought and only one is possible to the family bank account, have it yourself and let the daughter wear a made-over one this year. It will have cheering effect on your own spirits and on your husbands, and it will be good thing, perhaps, for the daughter to realize that mother is quite as inporran+ as she is.
 If you have been made by nature short and plump. don't spend your life wishing you were tall and slim, but do what you can to correct natures short comings Toward 40 most women run somewhat to overplumpness.

RAIN |NTERFERES AND DOUBLE HEADER
 SCHEDULED TODAY
Moley Will Probably Use Hill and Black-Ellis and Scott to Work for
 the Vols

Nashville, July 15.-Rain which fell throughout the morning flooded Sulphur Dell and the Barons and Vols enjoyed a day of rest, although the schedule of Bob Baughs association called for a regular game. Consequently, to make up for the game lost by the interference by Jupiter Pluvius, a double header will be played tomorrow.
 The teams not even went out to the Dell today. The infield was field of mud and play was impossible. The ma jority of the infield was covered with tarpaulins but it did little, if any good.
 Boss Carlton Molesworth and his men quietly dled away their time. The Baron chiof would not state who he would work
 in the double offering tomorrow, but indicated that he would send Carmen Hill and Karl Black against the Vols. Manager Roy Ellam had not decided on his hurling selection but it is almost certain that Bill Ellis will face the Bar ons in one of the games. Jack Scott will probably work in the second conflict. The Rarons and Vols slumped bad dur ing the past week, and with both teams scheduled for a comeback" some in teresting games should be seen at the Dell. The two teams meet again Tues day and then the Barons start for home again to open long home stay.

Benny Leonard Is Eleventh UndlsputedLightlDe lDeightKing

New York, July 15.-The acquisition of the lightweight title by Benny Leonard as a result of his recent knockout victory over Freddy Welsh adds the eleventh name to the undis- puted list of championship holders in this class since 1872. Arthur Chambers was the first lightweight bare knuckle pugilist to establish his claim to the premier position in this class when he defeated Billy Edwards in Canada Sep tember 4, 1872. Chambers is generally accorded the title until 1884 when lie retired and was succeeded by Jack Dempsey. The latter soon grew too heavy and advanced to the welter- weight division, being succeeded in turn by Jack McAuliffe He reigned supreme until 1893. when he retired undefeated, being the last of the light weight champions to lay aside the gloves without blemish upon his rec- ord.
 Kid Lavinge then took up the title and it was not until 1899 that Frank Erne wrested the honors from La vigne in 20-round battle at Buffalo Some three years later Joe Cans knocked out Erne in a round and for six years was generally conceded the championship although Jimmy Britt also claimed it when Cans would not make the weight for him after he had stopped Erne in seven rounds.
