Good News.
MANY STAUNTON READERS HAVE
HEARD 1T AND PROF1TED
THEREBY.

THEREBY.
"Good news travels fast," and the
thousands of bad back sufferers in
Staunton are glad to learn that prompt
relief is within their reach. Many a
lame, weak and aching back is bad no
more, thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills
Our citizens are telling the good news
of their experience with the Old qua
ker Remedy. Here is an example worth
reading:
A. H. Bunch, retired farmer OF 2l4
W. Water St., Charlottesville, says
''Some twelve years ago l first noticed
a dull aching across the small of my
back. | paid little attention to it at
first, but as the attacks occurred much
more frequently and were much more
acute ana there was added to them
trouble with the kidney secretions
very annoying and sometimes painful.
| commenced to doctor myself, but
even help when the attacks occurred
was just as remotely in che distance
the day l went for Doan's Kidney
Pills as it was when l first noticed
that had kidney complaint. 1t was
different entirely with their treatment.
They so washed, strengthened and
purified my kidneys that when kidney
secretiOns became normal the back
ache ceased. l am so convinced of the
value of Doan's Kidney Pills that l
unhesitatingly recommend them"

A Call Back to B0yhOOd.

Maybe you think now you will not
go to the circus, but the chances are
that you will.
There's no getting around the fact
that it will be hot and stuffy in the
"big tent" 1t is true that strip of
carpet doesn't make very effective
cushion for hard board. Two hours
is long time to sit, even in 'reserv-
ed seat" with an alleged back, and rub
elbows with other sweltering mortals.
And the performance is likely to be
very similar to the one you saw last
year. It's all right for mother and the
children to go if they enjoy that sort
of thing. They can go with the neigh
bors and you devoutely hope they'll
have good time.
That s about the way you feel now
isn't it, staid man of business !? But
you haven't yet got Whit of the cir
Gus day atmosphere. Wait till you
get down town and see what an early
start our friends from the country
have made on what is to be solid
day of enjoyment. Wait till you bump
Into the man with the red and blue
balloons, the man with the lemO and
the man with the wienies. Wait till
the sound of the bands draw you to the
window and hold you there while the
gIittering gorgeousness of the parade
goes by. That's the time that many
sensible resolutions on the circus prop
osition go by the board. The whole
business is a call back to boyhoOd. 1t
is a call that always thrills. Wow
j ust listen to the calliOpe.
One can almost see you Fastening
home to lunch and telling the folks
that the crowd is going to be so big
that you guess you'll have to go along
and look afther the children yourself.
And it won t hurt you either.

Grim War.

The old gentleman in the smok ing
car was declaring vehemently that. in
his opinion. war was disgrace to
civilization. "War !" he exclaimed, 'is
an abomination, a blot On the uni
verse;" Upon which he arose and
left the car.
The old man seems to feel pretty
strongly on the subject, said one of the
passengers. Has he lost some near
relative through war
Yes, answered a friend, his wife g
first husband d.-Harper's Weekly.

Improving the Corn Crop.

That corn can be grown prOfitably II
Virginia is shown by the fact that the
value of the crop per acre is $11. 55
whereas, in Illinois for much larger
yield 1t is only $11.59. Therefore, by
increasing the yield through systematic
cultivation and fertilization, there is a
decided profit in sight for our farmers.
The selection of variety and it's adap.
tatiOn of the soil and climatic condi
tions in which it is to be grown will
influence the yield of corn decidedly.
Ten varieties grown for three years
showed some of these remar rkable diff
ferences. The height varied from so
to lis inches; the yield of green stOver
from 5 Sc to g. 80 tons; the yield from
26 95 to 1857 bushels; the per cent of
cob from a. AZ to 74.77 bushels. Select
ing the right variety is therefore a
matter of great Importance. A me-
chanic selection of ten bushels of Lean
ing corn showed that only one half of
the ears shelled out 1925 per cent, yet
this variety had been grown with more
or less care for several years.
Some of the thoroughbred ears sown
on the experimental plats the past sea-
son shelled out 81 to 92 per cent. The
selection of an ear showing high per
cent. of grain and a small per cent. of
coo is thus matter of vital concern in
the Improvement of corn. The best
type of ear to use is one weighing from
II to Is onnces, having from 16 to "a
rows of grain and uniform in size from
the b ut to tip. If great prOlificacy is
desired select smaller type of ear
and choose the seed grain only from
those stalks containing two ears, 100
grains were selected from 16 samples
of corn and weighed with the following
results. The lightest weighed S6l
grains, or less than one ounce; the
heaviest 81 grains or almost ounces.
The variation in termination was rep
by So and 100 per cent. Here
a again the question of individual selec-
tion for type, shape, weight and ger
power comes in for consid- |
GRAFTON.
The permanent improvement of corn |
first on the careful prepara.
tion and fertilization of the soil, of the !
selection of a suitable variety; third, /
on the systematic improvement of this |
variety with regard to shape and type |
Of ear, the size, height and character |
of the stalk and leaf and the shape,
quality and condition of the grain. !
Any farmer by making a careful selec-
ton from the best individual plants in
his field from year to year can secure a
uniform type of ear which will she'll |
out a higher per cent of grain, show a
hintier type of kernel and possessed of |
a desirable type of stalk, neither too
large nor too small By attention to
these points the yield of corn on Vir-
ginia farms Can be increased from to i
10 bushels per acre. Surely this is a
reward worth striving for.
