Beware Coughs
from common colds
That Hang On

No matter how many medicines you
have tried for your cough, chest cold, or
bronchial irritation, you can get relief
now with Creomulsion. Serious trouble
may be brewing and you cannot afford
to take chance with any remedy less
potent than CreomulSion, which goes
right to the seat of the trouble and aids
nature to Soothe and heal the inf1amed
mucous membranes and to loosen and
expel the germ-laden phlegm.
Even If other remedies have failed,
don't be discouraged, try Creomulsion.
Your druggist is authorized to refund
your money if you are not thoroughly
satisfied with the benefits obtained
from the very first bottle. Creomulsion is
one word-not two, and it has no hyphen
in it. Ask for it plainly, see that the
name on the bottle is CreomulSion, and
you'll get the genuine product and the
relief you want. (Adv.)

eliminate the wet cotton problem ex-
cept during adverst seasons, Ferguson
pointed out. However, it is almost i'm
possible to correct the condition en-
tirely, and the only solution seems to
be drying the cotton, when necessary
after it reaches the gin.
Several cotton gin manufactures
are now producing satisfactory dry
ing equipment, the initial cost OF
which is not prohibitive, with an OPP
Grating expense that is relatively
small in comparison with the increas-
ed value of the lint.
Ferguson believes that an intensive
effort should be made to improve the
marketing situation in North Caro-
lima. Every grower should realize pre-
miums or discounts for his particular
Cale of cotton. If he grows the longer
staple lint, he should be rewarded; IL
his staple is less than 7-8 inch in
length, it should be discounted. Such
conditions do not now exist in most
cotton counties, one price being paid
for all staple lengths.
Ferguson's work as gin specialist
takes him in contact with both grow
ers and ginners, and it is part of his
job to help both groups work together
as much as possible so as to receive
mutual benefits.
