CLEAN-UP OF
STALKS URGED
Ginners Subscribe To
Fund to Carry on
Campaign
(Special to The Herald)
SAN BENITO Sept. 6.—This year
the cotton stalk c^-anup campaign in
the Lower Rio Grande Valley is tak-
ing on a different aspect.
For the gin men are lining up be-
hind it and they are backing their
efforts with cash.
Announcement was made here to-
day that a cleanup campaign on a
scale far surpassing any of the past
i is to be launched at once and that
the Valley association of gin men
will finance the campaign. Every
i gin in the Valley has agreed to put
up a certain amount to help in the
campaign and when it is finished
there will be few stalks left.
The campaign fund is to be used to
pay for advertising and to defray
;_ther expenses in bringing home to
the farmers the importance of de-
stroying the cotton stalks as soon
as the cotton is taken out.
The aid of chambers of commerce
county agricultural agents voca-
tional teachers in schools of the
Valley and other individuals and or-
ganizations is being sought by the
"in men. and is being secured from
practically all souTces they an-
nounced here.
In the past most of the burden of
the cotton stalk cleanup campaign
has rested on the shoulders of the
county agricultural agents.
“While much has been done in the
past toward cleanup work we be-
lieve that the cotton stalks can all be
removed if the cooperation of every
agency is enlisted” a local ginner
said. "The importance of such a
more is evident to anyone who real-
izes the damage done by leaving old
stalks.
"There were many fields left dar-
ing the past year aj attested by the
large amount of volunteer cotton
and it is considered certain that this
old cotton was one reason for the
rapid spread of the boll weevil and
the cotton blight. A cleanup car-
ried out on such lines as now being
started will mean much to the cot-
ton crop of next year.”

KANSAS CITY. Sept. 5.-Potst0

Kansas combinations bringing 50c.

been shipped from the valley com-
pared with 3414 cars to the corre-
sponding date in 1927.
Shipments from the Orrick district
of Missouri totaled 1.466 cars in-
cluding Monday of this week com-

WORRIED^ LOT
Run-Down Nervous Appetite
Gtne Lady Shows Great
improvement After
Using Cardui.
Waterloo S. C.—“I took Cartful
at Intervals for three years and
have been in good health since last
fall” says Mrs. Noble J. Hayes who
lives near here. *‘My improvement
after taking a course of this medi-
cine was really remarkable.
"I am much stronger and can ac-
complish so much more work now.
My weight increased twenty pounds
and my color is fresh and good.
*Tor a long time I had been feel-
ing poorly. Some days I dragged
•round the house and had not
enough energy to do my housework.
*T worried a lot about myself. I
did not seem like myself and my
nerves were ail on edge. I did not
sleep well and my appetite left me.
“I found Cardui to be an excel-
lent tonic. After I had taken it
a few weeks I began to pick up
and to gain in weight and strength.
"Now I am in fine health. I have
recommended Cardui to many of my
friends and shall continue to do
so.”
For over SO years. Cardui has
been used with success and recom-
mended by thousands of women for
weakness and similar ailments.
Try it for your troubles!
