far cultivation after plowing Is to
hasten the termination OF weed seeds

After the land has been plowed

Blossom-end Rot of Tomatoes

BlOssOm-end Rot Of Tomatoes
Numerous inquiries have been mad
Of the County Agent lately regarding
the cause and proper treatment of
the biossom-en rot OF tomatoes.
This is a physiological disease and
Is caused or at least aggravated by
dry weather.
In dry seasons Tomatoes from the
half grown to the ripening stage are
likely to be affected with a dry
black rot at the blossom end, says
c. A. Ludwig, associate professor of
plant pathology. of Clemson College.
and this disease is likely to do much
damage as long as 1t continues dry.
In normally moist seasons there is
little or no trouble usually from bios
som-end rot.
The only remedy is water. In n
garden where water can be supplied
easily. the benefit to the crop will
usually make the application we'll
worth while. but where tomatoes are
grown on commercial scale thin
remedy is not usually practicable.

rigate. About the only thing to do
for the disease whese irrigation is

well cultivated and to hope for rain.

help against leaf-blight which may

Dreams of Becoming

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Jan. l.
Dreams of becoming cinema stars
are being shattered today in the
minds of scores of girls throughout
the middle west as result of the
bursting of an alleged promotion
bubble here known as the lnterna-
tional Pictures Corporation.
The scheme, according to federal
officers, was simple; an advertise
ment placed in an eastern theatrical
magazine asked for chorus girls. and

and then. on beautifully engraved
stationery the applicants were told a
tale of trip to California, charter

Seas, drop anchor at Egypt and
cruise European waters. The only re-
quisite was deposit of $50 to keep
away curiosity seekers"
The money came with answers.

TEST CASE TO
FIX TERM OF
STATEATTORNEY

1t was indicated Saturday by
George M. Napier, attorney general
elect, that mandamus proceedings
would be brought against Secretary
Of State S. Guy McLendon, to be
followed by quo warranto proceed
ings against S. A. Denny, Of Rome,
incumbent of the attorney generals
office, to compel Mr.. Denny to vacate
his Office and permit Mr.. Napier to
assume the duties to which he was
elected in the Democratic primary
and the general election.
Mr. Napier contends that his term
Of office begins on January l, while
Secretary McLendon and Attorney
General Denny insist that June 1,
1921, is the date on which the new
duties Of his office.
The litigation. if instituted, will
be entirely a friendly proceeding, all
parties indicating that final set
Element of the controversy. is desir-
courts should pass upon the ques-
ton, which has been raised once or
twice before and which was suppos-
ed to have been settled by the act
of 1918.
until June l to assume Office said
MT. Napier Saturday morning, IF 1t
is assured that my term of office will
not terminate on January /, 1928,
instead Of June 1, 1928. 1 do not
feel that half a year should be cut
off from my term and this is liable
to occur unless the matter finally is
settled now"
The secretary Of state has not
thus far certified Mr.. Napier's cleo
ton to Governor Dorsey. Therefore
the governor cannot issue the new
commission under the terms of the
law. By mandamus proceedings, Mr..
Napier will seek to compel the sec
rotary of state to certify his cleo
tion and this being accomplished,
quo warranto proceedings can then
be brought against Mr.. Denny re-
quiring him to show cause why he
should not give up his office.
The secretary Of state contends
that the act Of 1918 is null and void
and does not affect the situation.
This act provides that the secre-
tary of state shall certify to the
governor the election of the comp
troller general, the state treasurer,
the secretary Of state, and the gov
on June 1 following. The secretary
of state insists that the certification
of the attorney general and the 9TH
er constitutional officers must be
similarly certified and must take Of
fee on the same date, rather than
January Of the year following their
election at the polls. He quotes the
constitution as his authority.
The legal proceedings will be
brought with a view to ascertaining
whether the courts consider the act
of 1918 unconstitutional, or affect
ing the term Of office of the consti-
tutional officers.

Says Drug is Mercury and
Acts Like Dynamite on
Your Liver

ia Dodson is making a hard fight
against calomel in the South. Every
druggist has noticed a great falling
off in the sale of calomel. They all
give the same reason. Dodson's Liver
Tone is taking its place. "Calomel
is dangerous and people know it,
While Dodson's Liver Tone is per-
fectly safe and gives better results"
said prominent local druggist. Dod-
sons Liver Tone is personally guar
anteed by every druggist. A large
bottle costs but a few cents. and
If it fails to give easy relief in
every case of liver sluggishness and
constipation, you have only to ask
for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take q spoonful at night and wake
up feeling fine; no biliousness; sick
headache, acid stomach or consti-
pated bowels. 1t doesn't grippe or
cause inconvenience all the next day
like violent calomel. Take a dose
of calomel today and tomorrow you
will feel weak, sick and nauseated.
Don't lose a days work! Take bod
sons Liver Tone instead and feel
fine. full of vigor and ambition.
