Years Of Service

Seventy-fve years ago people IN
New England were telling cath other
by spoken words what a wonderful
cough and cold remedy CeriZane was.
Now the newspapers spread the news
through advertisements. The same
company has been making Cerizane
all these years. Four generations of
the Wilson family have prepared this
fine medicine. Read what a Rhode
Island man, Mr.. Henry Walc2ak OF
444 Mill treet, Central Falls, Z. J.,
says about Cerizane.
Il had taken a bad cold and 1t gave
me q terrible sore throat and awful
cough. 1 could not sleep and coughed
all the time. l took a medicine that
helped the cough a little bit, but made
my stomach bad and put me all out
Of condition. Then a friend, Mr..
James O'Brien, OF Central Falls, told
me to take CeriZane Balsam. l
bought q bottle from my druggist
and took it regular. When l COM
menced l was so hoarse that l could
only whisper. was weak from
coughing and was sick all over. Cert
zane took the dryness out Of my
throat right away. In a little while
the cough commenced to get easier
and my throat did not hurt so much.
Cerizane did not make my stomach
bad like the other medicines, but lei
me eat all right. Then the pain in
my chest went away and before the
first bottle of Cerizane was all gone
/ was well of the cold, the sore throat
and the cough. Cerizane Balsam is
surely the best cough and throat med
icine."
Cerizano is always to be had of the

The science of the weather and the
atmosphere is called meteorology, and
has very little to do with astronomy.
Yet the public almost invariably con-
fuses meteorologists with astronomers
and calls upon the weather bureau for
information about comets, sunspots,
eclipses and the calendar.

BOYD FARMER MAKES
POOR LAND PRODUCE

That land which is too poor to grow
clover may be built up so that 1t will
produce high yields fcrops is shown
b yresults obtained by Wade Bryant. a
Boyd county farmer, who cooperated
with County Agent L. NJ. Amburgey
and the extension division Of the Col
lege of Agriculture in conducting a
demonstration involving the use Of
limestone and acid phosphate on nine
and one-half acres of his farm.
In spite Of the fact that the soil
had previously been too poor to gorw
clover crop, Mr.. Bryant obtained a
yield Of 22 bushels Of wheat in 1920
which was considered good for the
season and this year had good stand
Of clover from which a heavp crop OF
hay was taken. The clover was turn
ed under this fall after 1t had grown
to be about two feet high and prep
arations made to SOW another crop OF
wheat.
The system used by Mr.. Bryant in
building up his soil involves methods
which can be used by any farmer, ac-
cording to soil specialists. In the
fall Of 1919 he applied limestone and
tban lator eaaded whea tusinp an an
plication of 200 pounds Of acid phos-
phate an acre. In tn spring Of 1920
he seeded red clover in the wheat. In
seeding his wheat this fall after the
clover was turned under Mr.. Bryant
used 175 pounds Of acid phosphate
a nacre and next spring will seed
clover again. He has been highly
pleased with the results obtained in
rebuilding the soil.
