WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result Of kidney or bladder disease.
II the kidneys are not in . healthy con.

Pain in the back, headache, loss Of am.

Birds Are Not Numerous
Because of Insect Pests

The chief reason birds are not more
numerous and that insect pests
quently increase SO rapidly il that suit
able places are not provided for nest
ing with protection from yermin.
Cleaning out fence rows and
beauties the premises but ruins the
birds homes. Building bird houses
and putting them on poles will help to
replace the natural homes. But better
than this is to leave some small thick
cts at different spots over the farm.

Flaxseed Production
Will Show Increase
Prices Fluctuate to Disad-
vantage of the Growers.

prepared By the united States Department
OF Axriculturs.)
There is In increasing spread be-
tween the production of fiaxseed In
the United States and the demand for
home consumption, according TO the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture. Until 1908 this country produced,
on an average, more than 1t consumed
and therefore was able TO export q
surplus In nearly every year. Begin
ming with 1909, however, our produc-
ton began 10 decline, while our re
quirements began TO increase with
population. Net imports consequently
have increased. The reduction in con-
sumption In 1917 and 1918 was due to
war restrictions, and that In 1920 and
1921 TO business depression. II is
fairly certain that the figures for 1922,
when available, will show an Increase
in consumption.
AS the United States changed in po-
sition from an exporter to an importer
OF fiaxseed, the farm price of fax In
creased materially. In 1907, when a
surplus of over 100000 bushels was
exported, the farm price OF faxseed
on December l averaged 80 cents a
bushel. In 1908, when production and
consumption were practically equal,
the farm price of fiaxseed was s1.16
a bushel. In 1909. when 4,957.O 900
bushels were imported. the farm price
rose to S1.53 a bushel.
In many localities a comparatively
small volume of iaxseed is marketed
and because the price iuctuates wide
ly, f1axseed usually is bought on a
wide margin. and the grower often
does not receive the full value of his
crop. This condition could be i'm
II several growers of fiaxseed
such localities would combine their
deliveries and Illus market a carload
more at one time.

are generally from one to one-and-a

is of excellent quality and stands

Watermelon growers should give seri-
aus consideration to their responsible
les In connection with prevention of

states Department OF Agriculture.
Examination of carloads at destina-
Ion has shown that. provided ship
nents are properly loaded in clean,
~weli-ventilated cars. and delivered
within a reasonable length OF time,
any losses experienced usually result
from the shipping of:
ID Melons affected with bad

Rot Coming Under Control.
The stem-end rot fungus, which not
only causes stem-end rot, but also
brings about decay following bruises
and cuts In the rind, has been a source
Of heavy loss in the past, and is still
a factor of great Importance. In 1919
q campaign of education concerning
methods Of control for this disease
was Initiated In the Southeastern
states, the United States Department
or Agriculture and the state extension
services cooperating. AS a result OF
the interest taken In this work by
farmers, distributors, and railroads.
stem-end rot is coming under control.
his conclusion is borne out by rec
ords from the food products Inspec-
ton service, which indicate that In
Georgia shipments losses from stem
end rot have been cut from 14.4 per
cent in 1920 to 8.3 per rent In 1921.
IND 81 per cent In 1922; and In Flor
Ida shipments from 1876 per cent In
1920 to 10.1 per cent in 1921 and SO
per cent In 1922.
