Hints for Summer Gardens and
Vacant Lots

The season for planting a lot
of early green stuff is past.
Plant substantial food making
crops such as roasting ear corn
every two or three weeks until
the first of August. The next
valuable crop is buch peas like
the California Black Eye which
can be bought from ordinary
grocery stores, and are now
worth about twelve cents a
pound. Other bunch peas reco-
mmended are the lady peas,
Gro W d er or Whippoorwills.
Plant on a level, but in drills,
two or three feet apart, and cul-
tivate lightly a time or two.
One half a bushel will plant an
sore, or a gallon to quarter of an
acre. Pole beans can be planted
in the corn, both for green pur-
poses and for dry beans. The
above articles are toothsome,
wholesome, useful for table and
for poultry and livestock. and
peas will leave the garden in
good shape for fall crops. An
other valuable crop for poultry
is sunfowers. They can b e
planted for the next three
months. About May Is begin to
plant tomatoes for late crops.
Plant the seed in we'll prepared
ground in hills three feet apart
instead of depending on setting
out plants that are hard to make
live. Do not put anything on
high ridges in summer, as the
ground dries out and becomes
too hot. Cultivate with hoes or
light harrows often. j. F. Nc

tural College, Miss.

club work here this summer.
She will also be glad to give in

for planting canning tomatoes is
just now with us. We can put

Practical Patriotism

The call to arms does not mean
that every. male citizen is ex-
pected to shoulder a gun and
march off to war.
During these trying times,
when the war lord seems to be
ruling the world, and ultimate
hunger confronts the people, the
humble man with the hoe" is
just as much a good soldier" as
the brave young lad who enlists
in the army, and goes forth to
uphold the stars and stripes.
The one is absolutely depend
ent upon the other, and since
our lives and liberty are at
stake, both are essential for the
sake of humanity.
The first requisite to insure
success as a soldier of agricul-
ture" is soil fertility, and a very
effective, as we'll as perhaps the
cheapest, way to build up the
land, is by the liberal use of
crushed agricultural limestone.
After thorough tests by ex-
pert geologists, and being con-
vinced that this limestone con-
tanned an unusually high per-
centage of calcium phosphate,
the State of Mississippi estab-
lished a large Limestone Crush
ing Plant near Okolona, which,
through the use of convict labor,
is supplying all Mississippians
with high-grade fertilizer at the
rediculously low price of sixty
cents per ton F. 0. B. Okolona.
In addition to the low price,
and as an incentive to get the
farmers to build up their soil, a
special transportation rate has
been put into effect by the State
Railway Commission, conse-
quently, Agricultural Limestone
can be transported over the M.
& 0. or Southern Railways with
in a radius of two hundred mites,
for from twenty-seven cents to
one dollar per ton, according 70
distance, and over connecting
lines at slightly advanced rates.

Tennessee School Teacher Says
He Has Found Tanlac to Be
the Best Medicine He Has
Ever Tried.

Of the thousands of letters that
have recently been received at
the Tanlac Office from we'll
known men and women, who
have been benefited by this
medicine, none are more inter-
esting than one received from S.
R. Luton at Bumpus Mills, Tenn.
This letter, which was addressed
to G. F. Willis, Atlanta, Ca,
reads as follows:
Dear Sir: You will find enclos-
ed a testimonial from Professor
Elmer Morris, who is one of my
customers. Professor Morris
had a delicacy in expressing him
self and granted me the right to
give You the particulars in his
case.
He tells me that he has been a
great sufferer from chronic stom-
ach and bowel trouble, and nev-
er had been able to get anything
to give him any relief. He fell
off in weight from 225 pounds to
no pounds. He went to Daw-
son Springs, KY, and when he
came back he said he was no
better.
persuaded him to try Tan lac.
He weighed on my scales at the
time he began taking it and only
weighed ITO pounds. After TAX
ing three bottles of Tanlac he
had gained 20 pounds. When he
brought this testimonial to me he
had gained A pounds more and
weighed 1874. He did not want
to get back to 225 pounds and
decided to quit taking Tanlac.
This man is a teacher in the
public schools in Stewart County,
Tenn. Lives here in one mile of
my store and bought Tanlac
from my. His true postoffice
is Dover, Tenn, R. F. D. No. /.
Professor Morris statement is
as follows:
Il have just finished my third
bottle of Tanlac and have gained
20 pounds. | just weighed 10
pounds and now | weigh 1870, and
never felt better in my life.
Il have been a great sufferer
from stomach trouble for about
a year. | tried every doctor |

health resort at Dawson Springs,
but nothing did me any good. |
decided to take Tanlac and found
it to be the best medicine | ever
tried.

BENSON BIDS IN
STATEPR0PERTY

The old industrial school building
and grounds at Benson now are the
property of the Benson Union high
school, the purchase having been made
at auction at Tombstone on June 22.
The building was originally construct
ed to be the administration building of
the penitentiary in territorial days, but
the politicians were unable to get the
prison removed from Yuma.
When the Industrial school was re-
moved from Benson to Fort Grant
there was much Indignation among the
residents of Benson, but since its use
as a high school, for which purpose it
has suited admirably, the illfeeling
has disappeared and the Benson people
have come to believe it the best thing
that could have happened. The high
school has used the building and
grounds for three years under lease
from the state. They now are the
owners.
The present high school attendance
is about so. The school is complete in
every detail and ranks as one of the
best in the state under the manage
| ment of H. @. Robertson, formerly SUI
perintendent of the Mesa schools.
