Anderson says she takes HADACOL
and HADACOL certainly helped her
to feel lots better. Mrs. Anderson
says nothing bothers her any more
and she really feels fine {. that
is, since she has been taking HADA-

taking HADACOL helped her sys-
tenn overcome a deficiency of Vita

Here is Mrs Anderson's own
statement: Il had been in a run
down condition. l was very nerv-
Gus and had hard time getting any
sleep. I was told 1 could not eat
certain foods, and when l did eat
these foods they upset my stomach.
| got to feeling so bad that often l
would have to go to bed and have
someone do my housework-and l
couldn't help my husband in the
store. Then I began to hear about
HADACOL and then folks started
coming into the store asking for
HADACOL. l saw how many folks
were getting such wonderful help
that | decided to try HADACOL.
Now, after six months of taking
HADACOL, l feel wonderful l get
all the sleep I need, 1 eat anything

feet. Best of all, am not the least
oft nervous. You have no idea how

NOTICE
Dear President:

Lear FIeSIGGnI.
From time to time, we have been
urging you to get Duplicate policies
for your members whenever they are
needed and yet, we have quite few
presidents who vii wait until their
members are dead to find out as to
whether they have an H. B. A. pol
icy. I am taking this medium tc
kindly ask the presidents to make
survey Of all of their members and
find out as to whether they have
their policies and if the wills are
made like Trey want them. If the
person is dead, that the policy is
willed to, you can readily see that
this will bring about a conflict. If
there is no will, you can see that this
will bring about a conflict, but if the
will on the policy is made out prop.
erly, it will save all concerned I'm.

this survey at your earliest conven.

Notes
Get Ready For Cotton

Get Ready For Cotton
1t seems that most Mississippi cot
ton growers are counting on a high
yield per acre, instead of planting
a greatly Increased acreage, to pro-
duce the 100000 bales which is
Mississippi's share of the 1851 de
Tense production effort
More money is made from cotton
when it is planted only on land best
suited to it, according to farmers
who won in the 1850 Mississippi s.
Acre Cotton Contest. On many
farms this leaves considerable other
acreage which is most profitable de-
veloped as pastures or timber in a
balanced farm plan.
Two to three bales per acre yields
were demonstrated by several farm
erS in the most cotton growing parts
of the state during 1850, although
this was the year of the heaviest
weevil infestation on record and the
most rain for the first nine months
for 38 years. A definite poisoning
program and use of enough fertili-
ger were secrets of success followed
by the 1850 cotton contest winners.
Much planting seed is of low
termination this year, and all should
be tested. If termination is found
to be as low as so percent, plant
twice as much seed as usual to get
a good stand.
Treatment to control seed borne
diseases will also help get a good
stand, as well as giving protection
| later on.
Insecticide supplies are expected
to be short in 1851, so buy now so
pounds per acre of dust or the equiv
alent in spray. This is enough for
two thrip and four early weevil ap-
plications, and fort two late season
protective treatments.
Buy and store fertilizer, too, it at
all possible.
Get Ready For Cotton
Early poisoning is urged
with so much seed of low geIn4lna-
ton. This is to kill thrips, which
weaken young seedlings so that they
are more subject to disease.
The County Farm Agent has the
list of insecticides recommended
this year by the state entomologists.
Pruning Ornamentals
Prune trees and shrubs by the
middle Of February. Remove wood
. which has clearly been damaged bv
low temperature, and twigs or
branches split or cracked bv the
weight of ice.
Use clean, smooth cuts in remov-
ing a branch. Then protect the
wound with q non toxic paint or
linseed oil.
For large limbs, make the cut as
near the main trunk as possible.
If not killed by cold, shrubs such
I
as crepe myrtle, spirea and althea
Will bloom all summer after prun-
ing now. Hybrid tea roses in south
and central Mississippi should be
pruned before February Is, or about
March l in North Mississippi.
Good Pastures
10 make a good pasture takes rich
Land or plenty of fertilizers.
Pastures needing fertilizers can be
topdressed this month with 500 to
500 pounds Of good mixture. On
clover, mixtures such as 0-14-14 or
0-l4-10 are good.
Good fences are also part of good
pastures. There isn't too much time
now before crops season to repair all
fences and build cross fences for al
ternate grazing.
Buy sudan or millet seed early, as
1t may become scarce. Such SUP
elemental grazing will be needed
IN the summer by most livestock,
and especially by dairy COWS.

Fairfax Construction Designed
To Trim Double Shifts This Year

It shouldn't be hard to detect
a merry note in the ring of the

It is a year in which school

construction bonds have been sold.
Contracts for new schools and
additions are being let as fast as

fast as local builders can handle
the work.

Maryland U. Expects
Enrolment Drop;
Faculty Trimmed 100

Some 1000 new students are
expected to register at the Uni
versity of Maryland September
18 to 81, but the decline in CT
bill students probably will cut
total enrolment at College Park
to about 11.750. That will be
about 1000 less than last year.
An enrolment of approximately
$500 is expected at the univer-
sity'S professional schools in Bal
timore, however, which will put
total enrolment at something like
1920. Counting some 1000 SOL
diers taking courses at Univer-
Sity of Maryland's SO overseas
branches in Europe, total enroll
ment will be close to 10000.
The decline at the College Park
schools is reflected in a total of
100 faculty dismissals during the
summer. There will be $50 fac
ulty members at College Park
when classes begin September "a,
compared to 989 last year.
George Fogg. director of per-
sonnet, said all of the faculty dele
tions occurred in the ranks of
graduate assistants and instruc-
tors. No faculty position from
assistant professor on up was
eliminated, he said.
Several new physical facilities
will be available to Maryland stu
dents this year. These include a
new chemistry building as part
of the Glenn L. Martin Engineer
ing School, a new girls swimming
pool and new stadium and field
house.
Fhe stadium was used for foot
ball games last year, but the field
house was not completed until re-
Gently.
Now under construction at Col
lege Park are a new physics

pleted by next fall, and million

in october.
One of the features of the new
chemistry building is a radio
chemical laboratory. which will
be separated from the rest Of the
building by a buffer area. A
shower, washing machine and
drier are part of the laboratory
for laundering clothing of persons
who work with radioactive sub
stances.

dents are expected to number
about 1900. a drop of 210. Medi-
cal school enrolment viii remain
at about 425, while dental students
will climb about per cent to 800,
officials said.
The nursing school will replace
its former five-year degree pro-
gram with one of four years, it
was announced. The change re-
suits from a three-year study of
the field.
A new classics-philosophy ma

Rome, early Christianity and the
culture carried down from them
