Now You Can Treat Colds
Scientifically
Modern medical science declares that
colds are usually preceded and ac-
companied by excessive acidity in
the system. Therefore to hasten re-
covery you must first restore the nor-
mal chemical balance. Aspitoids not
only neutralize the acid condition,
but also soothe headache, allay fev-
eriefliness and promote bowel action.

Reports from the Department
of Commerce, give ginnings in
Lamar county from the 1931
crop prior to November 1, as
59,971 bales as compared with
40,633 ginned prior to Novem-
ber 1, 1930. Marcus Gough,
government statistician for La-
mar county is authority for the
statement that the total to No-
vember 1, this year lacks less
than 1,000 bales equaling gin-
nings for the same date in 1925
when the Lamar county yield
was 73,000 bales. This year’s
crop was late in opening but a
70,000 bale crop is forecasted.
Red River county had ginned
36,011 bales prior to November
1, 1931 as compared with 26,-
424 ginned to the same date
last year. Favorable weather
has enabled farmers to pick the
crop rapieUy and this gear’s
ginnings are nearly 10,000 bales
ahead of last year’s.
Contract for a test well for
oil has been let to Tulsa, Ok.,

tion for the well has been made
half a mile south of the high-
way, just back of the H. M.
McCuistion home, whicn is situ-
ated just west of where the
Gulf pipe line crosses the high-
way.
Necessary surveys, geological

ft is also recommended .that
there should be a pressure can-
ner on each farm.„..
In the planting of legumes
on black land, it should be re-
membered that such legumes as
sweet clover, alfalfa, soy beans,
mung beans cannot be success-
fully grown on land which is
infected with root rot. Such
land should be planted to grain,
either corn, grain sbrghum or
small grain.
Mr. Edmiaston pointed out
that a very profitable and prac-
tical rotation of crops will be
30 per cent cotton, 30 per cent
corn and other feed crops, and
30 per cent legumes with feed
crops following legumes, and
cotton following feed crops. He
says that three years of such
rotation will build up the soil
to where it will produce 20 per
cent greater yields under simi-
lar conditions.

Whereas, The price of cotton

Discussing a
gram for Lamar county farm-
ers for 1932, due to the cotton
acreage reduction law, County
Agent Edmiaston says:
“Due to the diversity of soils
and conditions on the various
farms of the county, no at-
tempt is being made to advise
farmers how to manage their
respective farms. The propos-
ed program is merely suggest-
ed to help farmers in planning
a balanced program which will
also conform to the law in re-
gard to planting cotton.
“We have for years,” said
Mr. Edmiaston “depended on
cotton to supply food, practic-
ally all the feed, implements,
transportation, clothing, taxes,
etc., for-our families and live-
stock. "It has become necessary
to make a drastic change. We
must find other sources for our
feed, and food, as well as a part
of the cash income.
“The following program
might be used on the black
land, subject to change to fit
the needs of individual farmers:
Thirty per cent cotton, 30 per
cent corn, oats and grain sor-
ghums, 30 per cent legumes, in-
cluding peas, alfalfa, sweet clo-
ver, soy beans and mung beans,
10 per cent in temporary pas-
ture, food crops, fruits and or-
chard. It is suggested that at
least five acres should be plant-
ed in sudan grass for tempor-
ary summer pasture, with
wheat for temporary winter
pasture and for a cover crop, dorse and urge the farmers of
this section to attend the farm-
ers evening school, which is be-
ing conducted at the school
building one night each week
by B. B. Hutson, teacher of vo-
cational agriculture.
Mr. Hutson states that it is
important that all of the farm-
ers be present Friday night,
Nov. 20, to help determine the
problems to be discussed at the
following meetings. He espec-
ially urges every one desiring
following planting program is to have terrace- lines run this
fall to be on hand in order to
get their names in the pot.

bring his wife and children'
along and let them go to the
