FARM LAND VALUES
ARE NOW GOING UP
WITH CONTROL OF THE BOIL
WEEVIL BIG REALTOR SEES
RAPID RISE IN PRICES.

ATLANTA, Ga-The value Of
farm lands is increasing.
This is the opinion of Forrest Adair,
Atlanta realtor and the head of a
realty concern bearing his name
which handles millions of dollars ev-
cry year in farm lands alone. The
Adair company has a representative
in probably every town and city in
the south, and reports received lately
show clearly that with the control OF
the boil weevil farm lands are rapidly
returning to normal prices.
AS pointed out by farm develop
ment agents of the Atlanta concern
during the reign OF the boil weevi
farm lands shrunk in value, but this
year has brought a healthy increase
and the demand for farms is unusual
ly strong. Attention is called to the
fact that other products can be grown
replacing cotton and bringing to the
farmer much better returns for the
amount expended in making crop.
The response of business and in
dustry TO the ending of the uncertain
ty preceding the national election APP

eral, according to business men and
manufacturers here They assert thai
the period of waiting appears to be
over, and business and industry botf

BACKACHE is WARNING
DAWSON FOLKS ARE LEARN
ING HOW TO HEED 1T.

Are you miserable with an aching
back? Do you get up lame and stiff;
drag through the day feeling tired,
weak and depressed? Then you should
help your kidneys. Backache is often
the first sign of failing kidneys. Uri-
nary troubles quickly follow Neg
lected, there's danger of gravel, drop
sy or fatal Bright's disease. Don't
wait for serious kidney sickness! Use
Doan's Pills, a stimulant diuretic to
the kidneys, before it is too late. This
Dawson resident tells an experience:
Mrs. Annie Potts, 419 F. Tenth
avenue, says: There was heavy,
dull ache in the small of my back and
l could hardly get up or down. My
kidneys acted too often and my feet
and ankles bloated. Doan's Pills
quickly helped me. Doan's straighten-
ed me up in great shape"

All this comes in the face of 40 per
cent increase in the use OF coffee IN
this country within the last few years,
which most dealers believe due to
prohibition and re-entrance into the
market of Germany.
The amount of coffee exported from
Brazil last year from July, 1923, to
July. 1924 was 13,945, 900 bags OF one
hundred pounds each. The exports
since that time have reached only s.
$4,000 bags, with an estimated de-
mand, as shown by the figures OF La
melville, one of the foremost authori-
ties in this field, of 100000 bags
The estimated production has been cut
a second time with the review OF con-
ditions as existing at the end OF DC
tober from 100000 to l8,OO0,0OO
bags, which accounts for an actual
shortage of 100000 bags. He further
demonstrates that only an enormous
increase in the crop of not less than
100000 bags within the year to
come will bring the conditions back
to normal. The most optimistic est1-
mates can bring only 100000 bags,
which gives an almost certain indica-
ton that the price, once raised, will
remain so indefinitely.
Prices Due to Conditions.
Present prices in Brazil are due en-
tirely to the natural laws of supply
and demand Brazil has suffered Sc
rious drought and series OF wind
storms which have blown many OF the
half-grown berries from the trees. The
demand for coffee has steadily lncreas-
ed with the increased enforcement OF
the prohibition amendment. The for
mer habit of using beer with meals
has been superseded by the use OF
more coffee Then, too, Germany,
country which has been given to the
use of all varieties of substitutes Tor
coffee, has shown a remarkable in
crease in the consumption OF the real
drink since the war. One and halt
million bags of coffee were sent to
Germany last year, as compared to
previous comparatively insignificant
figures.
