The Time to Correct Suffering is Now! Charlotte, N. C.—'' I got so all rundown that it was an effort for me to get around. ®I had a weak back and severe pains thru my sides. I was not much good for any thing. Thru the ad vice of a friend I took Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and it relieved me of all N my feminine trouble, strengthened my nerves and I grew , well and strong. Have never had any return of the trouble, fravonte Prescription' is surely a grand medicine for women to take."— Mrs. Julia Davis, 511 W. Trade St. Liquid or tablets at your neighborhood store.

Hunting T rouble An acquaintance of ours from Ellenboro was arrested for driving 70 miles an hour, and in answer to the Judge's question as to the reason for such speed exclaimed: "My wife had decided to go back to her folks and I wanted to her there before she chang ed her mind."

Continual commendation from critical lousewives convinces us the popularity of our groceries must be deserved. Jones Grocery Co. Forest City, N. C. THE AGRICULTURAL 1 CLASS HAS VARIETY OF FARM PROJECTS Cool Springs Students Make Huge Profit, on Farm Projects Thirty boys in the vocational ag ! riculture class at Cool Springs High ! School made a profit of $5838.28 on i their home projects last year. This is an average of $194.61 per pupil, j j The figures compiled from the pro- i j ject report of the Agriculture De-! ! partment for 1927 are interesting. : They show that these boys com pleted 77 projects. The entire pro | ceeds of these projects were $lO,- : 522.45. The expenses were $4684.17j I The boys worked 11,508 hours on j their pi-ojects and they take- much J pride in them. j j These farm enterprises were widely j diversified. Nearly every crop which j ; can be grown in this section was rep- ! | resented in them. The boys produced ' !34 bales of cotton, 1086 bushels of ■corn, 9811 pounds of dressed pork, j j 737 bushels of sweet potatoes, 28,-I 1 000 sweet potatoe slips, 45 bushels jof Irish potatoes, 121 bushels of oats,; j 143 bushels of wheat, 2988 dozen ; eggs, 1390 chickens and 886 pounds j j of capons. In addition to these, there j were two vegetable gardens which j produced $225, and an 8 acre orch-! iard planted. j The income from the different pro-' j jects varied as much as the crops.; j The boys prefer to think of their i profits in terms of labor income. : J They find that poultry paid them an average of 80 cents an hour for the time spent on it. Cotton averaged ; 44.5 cents an hour, hogs 69.4 cents, 'corn 32.7 cents, sweet potatoes 68.8 • cents, sweet potato slips 98 cents, ' Irish potatoes 74.6 cents, oats 27 ' cents, and wheat 28 cents. Of the ' four major types of projects, cotton, | corn, hogs and poultry, the latter j was most profitable. Hogs came next j and the relative profits on corn and | hogs proved to the boys that one j good way to realize a pi'ofit on corn j is to feed it to hogs. The excellent ; | profit yielded by sweet potatoes and > ! the fine storage facilities afforded by Forest City's storage house, will j make sweet potatoes a popular crop i with the boys. { "What is the most important thing j | that you have learned from the pro- j j ject report?" one of the best students j | in the class was asked, j "That the best farmer is the one who diversifies his crops," was the quick answer. "There is good money in cotton," he went on, "It will al ways be a good crop here, but the man who has a flock of piu-e bred chickens, cared for right, is sure of a steady income. Raise corn to feed ; j hogs, thus double its selling price, j Grow some sweet potatoes and truck. Have some cows and a vegetable garden. There is money in this kind of farming. It is a very fine thing for a school to have in it thirty boys who have carried out 77 business enterprises of the scope of these. Accurate train ing in the business of farming will do much to put agriculture on a paying basis.
