CURRIE, Aug. 2 s. Since the
shortage of sugar has become so
acute. The old custom of raising
sugar cane and making ones own
supply in lower Baden and Fender
counties has been revived by the
farmers in these sections. At the
present time sugar cane is beng
cooked and many a person Will
have plenty of sweetnlng, If not a
very light color. Ransom Beatty,
colored farmer of the lower Bla-
den section, has a cane mill 10
Gated at his home and for miles
around the cane is hauled to his
mill. The problem, as once in years
ago when such mean of transport
tation as OK carts to do the haul
ing. has been eliminated in these
progressive times by trucks and
trailers.

occasions were also some of the
leading social activities of our
thinly settled and backward COM

he was h%onorably called, always
pitched his tent at my Fathers

And I so well remember how he

up in a mixture of say, 15-30-15,
farmers would have bought a few
tons less than 10000 and would
have received the same amount of
actual fertilizer. If all the expense
involved in the mixing, sacking,
shipping, hauling and putting out
is figured on the almost lao, 900
tons, the difference between 10000
and 100000, it is easy to see how
much useless expense the farmer is
putting out.
They say that lime is needed by
all of our soils in the South and
especially in Mississippi. This is no
doubt true, but it is not necessary
to pay $1,000 to $500 a ton for
lime when it can be secured through
the AAA for approximately $1.00
ton. Besides, when farmer puts out
400 pounds of a 5-10-5 mixture fer
tilizer, he only gets 800 pounds of
lime to the acre anyway. If he does
| not use more than this amount, he
might as well leave it off entirely,
and especially is this true at the
high price he has to pay.
1t is thought by some people that
fertilizer handlers such as, mixers
and railroads, want the farmer to
use a low analysis fertilizer since
this gives them more profits by
handling more tonnage. / do not be-
lieve this is true, but if it is, they
should do a little figuring. II the
farmer bought less filler and more
fertilizer, he would produce more
farm crops and therefore make more
money. When the farmer makes
more money, it is a well known fact
he buys more of everything he
needs, including fertilizer. Not only
will he buy more tons of high analy-
sis fertilizer which would not work
any hardship on the mixers, the
transportation agencies would be to
transport practically as greater ton
mage Of fertilizer and much greater
tonnage of farm products, since he
would be able to produce more with
the use of more fertilizer and less
| filler.
Some people say that farmers will
not buy high analysis goods. In
spite of this opinion, we see so or
so percent potash sold in rather
large tonnage every year and like
wise we see a 32M percent ammon-
ium nitrate fertilizer sold in big
tonnage annually and since farmers
buy these fertilizers without any
complaint, it seems reasonable to
believe that they would buy mixed
goods of high analysis. In fact it
can be remembered very easily that
stable tonnage of a 15-30-l5 was
sold back in the years 1880 and
1881.

GOOD NEWS FOR MALARIA
SUFFERERS

Wartime shortages and the more
urgent needs of our armed forces
kept Nash's c & L Tonic away from
you for time during the war, but
now you may again expect wonder
full relief from the attacks of that
dreaded Southern disease. Nash's is
one of the very few Malaria prepa-
rationS which combine laxative
with a wonderfully efficient medi-
cine for the symptoms of Malaria.
This combination serves to eliminate
the wastes from your system while
treating the actual Malaria attack.
Relief is usually obtained in seven
short days. Temporary constipation
and associated biliousness are re-
ieved in few hours.
If you suffer from Malaria and
if your treatments were neglected
during the war, you shouldn't wait
another day. Go after that illness
now. Malaria may make you feel
lazy, stretchy, achy. 1t may make

you have chills and fevers. It may
make you have a sallow yellow
complexion. Mr.. Nash is anxious to
have you try his c & L Malaria Chill
Tonic on his personal guarantee of
complete satisfaction or money back.
Your dealer will gladly refund
every cent you have paid if you do
not feel that the first bottle is fully
worth the purchase price.
Mr.. Nash has sold millions of bot
ties of Nash's c & L Tonic and every
one has carried this guarantee. Sur
prisingly few have ever asked for
refund. This is full proof, Mr..
Nash believes, that Nash's is every
thing he claims it to be.
Nash's c & L Tonic is sold by
good dealers everywhere and fea-
tured in Lexington by Bealls Drug
Store and Peoples Drug Store. The
regular four ounce bottle is only
fifty cents or the large economical
ten ounce bottle only one dollar.
