HELP FOR OLD FOLKS
OLD AGE SHOULD BE HAPPY,
NOT A TIME OF SICKNESS
AND SUFFERING.

Too many people begin to suffer at
middle age with constant backache,
urinary ills and rheumatic pains and
aches Weak kidneys are usually the
cause and, if neglected, there is dan
ger of hardened arteries, dropsy, gra-
vel or Bright's disease. Help your
weakened kidneys with a stimulant
diuretic before kidney disease gets a
firm hold! Use Doan's Pills. Thous-
ands of old folks recommend Doan's.
Here is Dawson proof:
S. H. Roberts, retired farmer, l23

lame back and kidney trouble. had

passed often, getting me up at night.

Women Will Wear Big
Brimmed Hats This Season
A Case of Rainbow Chasing Sure
Enough, Says a Milliner.

ATLANTA.-The colorful straw,
with as much brim as the wearer is
willing to carry, will be the rage in
women's hats this summer, according
to fashionable milliners in the Peach
tree Arcade, a style center for women
in Atlanta.
Its case of chasing rainbows,
sure enough" said one milliner who
caters to the variable tastes of the
feminine hat wearers. "Frocks will be
topped with large, lacy hats that ex-
actly match the frock in color"
And streamers are coming back,
too!
The large hat OF this season, it was
stated, usually has very deep and
we'll fitted crown and may be shorter
across the back than in the front
The most revolutionary model,
shown in Atlanta, is the lace brimmed
one. There's something very mid-vic-
torian about that hat. 1t can be de-
pended upon to set the masculine heart
aflutter, every time 1t is very color
full as WE'LL made of horse-hair braid,
crushed strawberry, with lace above
and beneath the brim.

SURVEY OF LABOR
ON CROPS is MADE
NUMBER OF HOURS REQUIR-
ED TO PRODUCE ACRE OF
CORN AND COTTON.

A survey of some 900 farms in the
coastal plain area OF Georgia, which
Terrell county, made by the
United States Department of Agrlcul-
ture shows that the average number
of hours of labor used to produce an
acre of cotton on 249 farms is 1925
hours of man labor and 500 hours of
mule labor, according to report re-
ceived by A. E. Gibson, the county
agricultural agent Every operation
from preparing the land to the final
disposition of the crop is included in
these figures.
The average labor requirements per
acre of corn on $50 farms totaled 1868
man hours and 326 mule hours;
sweet potatoes on SO farms required
13l hours of man labor per acre and
66.4 hours of mule labor; combinations
of corn, velvet beans and peanuts on
80 farms required ST. man hours and
337 mule hours; sugar cane (plant)
on 81 farms required 1929 man hours
and 1928 mule hours. Oats, wheat
and rye OH 202 farms required 1874
man hours and % mule hours per acre.
There is a wide variation in the
number of hours per acre which diff
ferent farmers put on the same kind
of crops, due almost entirely to the
different operations performed by diff
ferent men, the number of times GER
tain operations are performed, and the
method of harvesting the crop The
range of hours on cotton, for example,
is shown to be from less than 90 hours
of man labor per acre to more than
1870 hours OF man labor, and from less
than 80 hours of mule labor to more
than 90 hours.
The results of the survey showing
the distribution of labor on various
crops on the farms included in the
survey, and the labor requirements
for the various operations have been
published in Department of Agricul-
ture Bulletin No. 1902, Field and Crop
Labor on Georgia Farms. Copies may

WITH INSURANCE AMOUNT
ING TO ONLY $4,000.

A large barn on the farm of Mr..
M. A. Mccoy, about six miles north

by fire Wednesday night
The fire was discovered by a passer-
by about $50 O'Clock, who informed
Mr.. c. R. Hardy, who is in charge of
the farm. SO rapidly did the wooden
structure burn, that it was impossible
to save any part of it The stock were
saved but about 100 bushels of corn
and half ton of hay were consumed.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
1t was first noticed in a corner of the

do any appreciable good.

COTTON ACREAGE
SHOWS AN INCREASE
TOTAL ESTIMATED AT 43,130,-
400 ACRES. MAY NOT MEAN
GREATER PRODUCTION.

ATLANTA, Ga.-The farmers of
4he south are determined to establish
. new high record for the coming sea-
son. if increased acreage may be taken
IS an indication, according to cotton
men here.
The government forecast of the in
crease in planting is indefinite, but
private agencies are bolder. Estimates
rom private sources indicate a total
cotton acreage OF 43,l30000, making
an increase OF 4 per cent in acreage
devoted to the cultivation of cotton.
This may or may not mean an in
crease of cotton production, depending
entirely on the weather conditions. 1t
i, recalled that the past summer and
fall were exceptionally favorable for
the production of cotton, being unus-
rallv dry and warm during a period
extending far into the fall.
According to the forecast Texas
alone will add 100000 acres to its cot
ton area. The 43130,000 devoted to
cotton, according to private estimates
of the southern cotton area for the
coming season, as against 39,832,000
in 1924, the year of the greatest cot
ton production on record.
Demand Steadily Greater.
Despite expressed fears that the
substitution of other fabrics for cotton
in wearing apparel in many parts of
the world might have detrimental
effect upon the worlds cotton indus
try there is every good reason to be-
lieve, cotton men state, that the de-
mand for cotton will steadily increase
year after year, and that there should
be a larger and larger market for the
staple that will absorb the increased
production that may come through de-
velopment of foreign cotton fields.
Although at the present time, it was
asserted, the major portion of cotton
fabrics are used for clothing there
has been in recent years an ever in
creasing use of cotton in various in
dustrial lines, and as industries in
crease in this country and in other
parts of the world the industrial uses
OF cotton may in time exceed even its
use for clothing.

SUMMER TIME PUSHED
AHEAD BY BURNING GAS
Flowers and Berries a Month Ahead

usually bloom late in June are bios
soming in great profusion in Turner
valley, and wild strawberries are be-
ing picked at least a month ahead OF
the ordinary schedule. This remark
able jump of six weeks or more on
nature is due to heat generated by the
burning of superhuous gas from
number of wells throughout the val
ley The warmth thus engendered has
pushed the summer season ahead at
least one month. Crocuses bloomed
and passed on long before they even
pushed through the ground on the
adjoining prairies and all wild plants
