SOME GOOD ADVICE
Strengthened by Abilene Experiences

Kidney disease is too dangerous
to neglect. At the first sign of back
ache, headache, dizziness or urinary
disorders, you should give the weak
ened kidneys prompt attention. Eat
little meat, take things easier and
use a reliable kidney tonic. There's
no other kidney medicine so well
recommended as Doan's Kidney
Pills. Abilene people rely on them.
Here's one of the many statements
from Abilene people,

Dear Editor:
want to write to your paper once
more. We are getting right now,

weather was good throughout the
winter months, and it has been cold

We are on the dr!ng line now. If
the Kaiser were to hear us shooting
he would call his men in cave, and
give up. We are shooting from the
100 yards range now, and we all
made good. The average per cent
is about 80. | made "a per cent
shooting at the bulls eye the first
day. There are about 200 shots a
minute, and it seems like war to us
boys. We lie behind the trench and
shoot. We all get ten shots apiece
Our gungare 30-30 calibre, steel
face bail, and they will hold up 1850
yards; mo chance for the Germans.
Our guns will shoot five times, and
we have extra magazines for them
which hold five loads. Our spot
which we shoot at is s inches in d.
ameter, and they work on pulley
worked by our boys. They stay in
the trench and mark our shots.
There were three shots fired at an
empty house and two took effect, and
the house was two miles away. We
have SOME guns. Our practice the
last two weeks has been the bayonet
practice. Kaiser better,accept Wilson's

THE FARMERS SHOT AT
KAISERISM is MAXIMUM CROPS

oS'siSe BUREAU, Atlanta, Ga.
2. Harrow, roll and pulverize the
seed bed thoroughly before planting
3. Use only the test possible seed
preferably pedigreed seed, from re-
sponsible plant breeder
4. Make liberal use Of fertilizers,
TO supplement the fertilizers.
8. Give thorough and frequent cIl-
tivation to the titled crors, preferably
shallow and frequent cultivation
6. Harvest savingly and protect the
stored crops from pests.
While it is true that everything the
farmer has to buy is high in price, 1t
is also true that whatever the farmer
has to sell is also high in price. The
fertilizer people figure out that their
products have not advanced in price
as much as the price of crops, and that
as matter of fact, cotton, corn, pea
nuts, tobacco and the like will buy
more fertilizer now than ever. Which
being true it follows that it will pay
better now to use it than formerly,
for the increase for which they are re-
sponsible will be worth more.
Another thing that the farmer must
bear in mind il he would be sure to
raise bumper crop and that is, to
place his, orders early for everything
that is to be shipped by rail. The
railroads are hard put to it and do
not afford assurance of prompt ship
ments. Orders placed late are more
than likely to be too late to be deliv-
cred in time.
Even if shipping were good. there
would be nothing gained by delay.
Prices are not likely to be lower. In
fertilizers, especially there is a scare
ity Of materials and advancing prices,
making it improbable that the fertiliz
ar will be cheaper.

c. A. Whittle, Farm

Upon those whom the United States
has not called from the farm, rests
great obligation Of feeding and
clothing the liberty armies of the
world. The greater the crops the
harder the armies will be able to
strike.
What can hinder the farmer fl ON
making maximum crops? Will 1t be
q lack Of market and good price?
No, the market and price prospects
are good
Will it be for lack of money or cred
1t with which to buy tools, seeds, fer
tilizers or. other necessary supplies?
No, money is plentiful and credit 10
good.
Will 1t be for lack of labor? Labor
is scarce without doubt In fact, the
shortage of labor is practically the
only great obstacle the farmer has to
meet in producing maximum crops. If
he could have abundance of labor he
could increase the cultivated acreage
and by proper fertilization he could
bring in very great crop. But in
view of the lack Of labor what must
he do?
He can do two things to overcome
the labor shortage: First, Increase the
applications Of fertilizers, which will
increase the yield without enlarging
the cultivated acreage. Second, use
labor saving machinery.
But overcoming the labor shortage
is not all that is necessary to obtain
maximum crops. Here is schedule
of important things that must be done
by every farmer to get maximum
crops:
1. Break the land deeply turning
under all stalks, stubble and litter pos
