In 1:'"2.", N'orth Caro lina planted 517.1)00 acres to toba.'- c which produced a value of 'XI.OOO. The per a re value of the! tobacco was $l5l. The per acre alue of thi garden is about thre • j nnd one-half • i trios this amount. In making p iblie this information | Mr. Morrow states that some will j probably be akeptical about the fig- ! !;re«, but 'hat they are founded m | facts and are true. The home j agents and others have accurate rec- I r rds which show that farm women j after feeding th- family fresh veg etables throughout the year and | giving away mm h produce to neigh bors and friends have still sold enough vegetables to assure .a fair- j ly good income. MIEIOI MED IHIHIIIE MIS ! | Tried simple home treatment— j new walks easily without cane I k How tho agonizing pain of an acute attack of rheumatism was eased, and Tecovery hastened is told in a letter srcm John Smith of Shock, Ky. "I was taken with a pain in my left I*B. and for thirty-five days I could r.ot sit up," he writes. "I got no , better until I began using Sloan's Lini- { merit. Before 1 had used one bottle I could sit up, and now I can walk with- j out a cane." I And it is amazing—the quick, gen- j uine comfort that Sloan's gives. It doesn't just deaden the pain. It stirs up the body to throw off the cause. No need to rub even. A little Sloan's patted on lightly—and a healing tide of fresh, germ-destroying blood begins tingling through the aching place. Be fore you can believe it, the pain, swell ing and stiffness are relieved. Get a bottle today. All druggists—3s cents. ILSWiRyi Only Quality Potatoes Bring* Host lYicvs i -»!* •' Ii !>ot:i •« * v. .
