at is advisable not TO thin to per-
feet stand as the limbs near the base
of the plant will grow very large and
break down, causing difficulty in culti-
waiting and picking. II is thought best
to complete the thinning in two opera
tions, which should begin when the
plants are about eight inches high.
'grhe time TO irrigate will depend on
the character of the soil, as soft soil re
tains moisture much longer than hard
soil. A good plan is TO wait until the
plants wilt during the day, and wner

rheumatism and indigestion" he con-
tinued. and many a day l gave clean
out while working in the field and had
to lie down until l got strength enough
to get back to the house. My rheuma-
tism was SO bad that every morning l
had to rub my legs before l could
stand up and my back was so stiff and
painful that it nearly killed me TO stoop
over. My joints. too, We're so stiff and
sore that l could not bend over to tie
my shoes. My appetite was very poor,
and when l did eat anything / was in
misery for hours afterwards. l was
hardly ever able to get a good nights
rest because my kidneys were so badly
out of order. and last spring my condi-
ton got so bad I wasn't able to work
and for several weeks I could hardly
get out of the house.
The man I tired to take my place
Tanlac so highly that l
began taking it. and. to make a long
story short l haven't a pain in my
body now and can do a hard a days

her condition, however, to interfere

She was brought here in a pri-

pleased her more than to be taken
to her fathers office, where she
