In studying any problem of agricui.
tural, there can be i one starting
place. The soil is the first and great
est governing factor in farming. If
we do not y oderstand our soil. how
can we be expected to grow crops
specifically adapted to our locality?
We must first know that soils must
be fertile before productive We
ought to have some knowledge as 10
how soils are made fertile. We ought
to know that in order to be produc-
tive all fertility must be made avail
able How fertility is made available
makes up one of the most difficult
questions for the consideration Of the
man who directly deals with it How
many of us know that the soil fertil-
ity is governed by the atmospheric
acids which enter and circulate
through it?
There may be an abundance of soil
fertility but unless these acids can
take this bacteria and make it avail
able for plant growth, there is really
no fertility We must look upon this
factor in farming as one which will
to a large extent govern and deter
mine production.

Grady also staged an agricultural
comeback during 1918. In July a
fellow had to be careful with his
match when he lighted his pipe, for
fear of burning up the whole
bloomin' country Corn, kafir, cot
ton and other fields were scorched
to a crisp by the heat of blister
ing summer sun. Prospects were
that there would not be an ear of
corn or a fork-full OF feed stuff
raised in the entire county--barring
a few patches in the south end.
Then it started to rain and with
the rain the feed crops began to
grow, with the result that there was
abundant roughness produced to
feed all the stock in Grady through
the winter Also the wheat opentd
up and about the only worry the
farmers have had is to keep enough
stock on it to keep it down to
normal length
On top of all that, frequent rains
and SHOWS have served to put the

has been experienced around these
parts since the time Immediately

Acid-Sto1r1ach Destroys

Good health Is your heritage. So don't let
an acid-stomach deprive you of your health.
Don't let it hold you back.
Some people think an acid-stomach merely
causes Indigestion, dyspepsia, bloat, heart
burn, etc. That is grave mistake. You simply
have no idea of the long train of physical ills
and awful human suffering that directly
traceable to acid-stomach. Rheumatism, Gout,
Sciatica, Cirrhosis of the Liver, Biliousness,
Anemia, Autointoxication, Intestinal Conges-
ton, Severe Headache, Insomnia, Nervousness,
Mental Depression, Meanchoia, Dizziness,
Heart Trouble-yes, even Catarrh, Ulcer and
Cancer of the Stomach-al of these disorders
can find their original source in that one con-
dition-acid-stomach.
Most people do not realize this. Yet it is
not at all surprising. Any number of people
have acid-mouth without knowing it, because
the acid is absolutely tasteless, yet powerful
enough to eat through the harder-t than hone
enamel of the teeth, causing them to decay.
Therefore you can easily imagine that acid
stomach is far reaching in its effects, causing
the above named ailments.

A SEYMOUR LADY

Deep Gratitude for Trutona

SEYMOUR, Ind, Nov. %. Cru
tona has relieved me Of a great deal OF

Mine was complication OF
troubles. My liver and kidneys were
out Of shape and l had indigestion and
was bothered with nervousness. For
the past three months l have had Sc
we're pains in my sides especially in
my right side. l would become short
Of breath at times and frequently had
severe pains around my heart I was
nervous and couldn't rest we'll at
night. I usually felt so tired and
draggy that l could scarcely do my
housework.
= THE pains in my back and sides
have been greatly relieved by Trutona
and the pains around my heart have
disappeared now. My appetite has i'm
proved wonderfully and l can again
enjoy my meals. I'm not nervous
any more either, and can rest we'll at
night. And I'm not all tired out after
doing my housework these days. l
must say I certainly feel stronger and
better now and I'm glad to recon-
mend Trutona."
That Trutona Is a medicine OF I'M
usual merit for the treatment OF stcnl-
ach, bowel and liver troubles nervous
ness, general debility and the like,
hundreds, like Woodward, have pub

prompt and gentle, and free from any
harmful or unpleasant effects,
Trutona is now being introduced
