Weldon and Tupelo Have Good
Crops
The crops around Weldon and
| have seen in this county. There
mas been a more abundant rain
fall in that locality, and the soils
there are very fertile, some j
fields having been in cultivation !
j for only a few years. However,;
11 attribute the flourishing condi- ;
! tion of the crops there more to
["the fact that the farmers are
' still cultivating, although some
of the cotton is nearly as high
as a man’s shoulder. These late
cultivations, if properly done, !
1 are worth several similar culti
vations earlier in the season. \
Now that the cotton is fruiting, j
the demands of the plant for
moisture and plant foods are in- j
creased. Shallow', level, inten
sive cultivation not only insures '
plenty of moisture by protecting
the soil with a dust mulch, but
also furnishes the plants with
available nitrogen. The nutri- j
fying bacteria, whose function ,
is to break down the nitrates in ,
the soil, and render the nitrogen j
available to the plants, must
have air to accomplish its work.
Frequent cultivations supply ’
these bacteria with air, and j
where the implements are run '
shallow and level, the crops are
benefitted wonderfully.
Mr. John Gardner of Tupelo
has a demonstration field of
cotton that illustrates the bene
fits to be derived from scientific j
farming- All of Mr- Gardner’s
corn is worked flat, and in spite
of an unfavorable season, will
make a splendid yield- Mr.
Gardner is still cultivating his
crons, and his Hpmnnstratinns

CONSTIPATION.
! its Cause and How to Cure it
—
■ Eat too much,
Stomach feels bloated,
: All out of sorts,
Don’t feel like work to-day, Gues.
i I’ve another case of biliousness.
"Take anything5"’
“Yes, some pills, but no results; sup
1 pose I’m getting irorwlad. Sometimes!
double the dose, then they physic me sc
hard I’m too weak to work. Think IT
have to try something new.”
“Ever try Prickly Ash Bitters?”
“No; I’ve heard a good de»t about it
but never tried it.”
"Well, you’ll be pleased with the re
suits.”
The purgative action of Prickly Asr
Bitters not only removes hard itnpac
tions, gas and impurities, but it strength
ens the muscular action of the bowels
which causes them to move regularly.
Prickly Ash Bitter5' is a bov ei tonii
and regulator in the truest sense, ii
nroinotes daily evacuations, establishes
healthy movements and is the best
known remedy for disordered digestion,
flatulence and a constipated habit.
D. M. Btackwelder, of Litchfield, III., says 5,
the Litchfield News: "lam perfectly willing, ic
fact glad to testify to tne value of Prickly Asfc
Bitters as a medicine for the kidneys, stomach
and bowels. I ha**.. ased it whenever I needed
anything of the kind for the last fifteen year:
and it has always given satisfaction."
