1t seems to be one OF the penalties OF

Perhaps you have dosed your stomach
in an effort to find cure. II so, yor
have been victim OF error. Real Skin
disease is SKIN disease--a disease con-
fined to the skin, and the general health
may not be affected. II the genera
health is affected at all, it is because
the victim was lured on by interna
treatment. Don't worry your stomach
any more. Don't smear yourself witt
nasty salves.

trees are headed lew so that pickers
gather most of the crop with very

are pruned so az to admit light, air
and heat to all parts and the fruit is
evenly distributed over the well pro-

ROGUE RIVER VALLEY
AS A CORN DISTRICT
Deep Planting Is As Essential As
Ii Is In Kansas and
Other Sections.

Now that Grants Pass is to have
csnnery the farmers Of Rogue River
Valley are taking greater interest in
the growing Of corn and vegetables.
The vast acreage that will be planted
to fruit trees is all good soil and the
trees will be the better for the first
FIVE years If the ground is planted to
crops that have TO be cultivated such
as tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, peas,
melons, strawerries, corn. etc. While
this is not a natural corn country yet
it can be grown profitably as has been
proven by many farmers who have had
yield of 40 to so bushels per acre.
The sweet corn grown here is not ex
celled in quality and fine flavor by
that of the best corn districts OF the
United States. But the average
Rogue River farmer has much to learn
to successfully grow corn. The most
essential thing is that it must be
planted with a lister, as they do In
Kansas, Nebraska and the other dry
states. so AZ to get roots down in
moist ground so the corn can with
stand the lack of rain during the
growing months. Maine, a state that
is not in the orn belt, cans more corn
than any other state of the the Union.
The soil is rather poor aud the climate
is not favorable for corn. but the
growers Of sweet corn for the use of
Gamers have become 80 proficient
that the average yield of sweet corn
per acre is much larger in Maine than
ii is in Illinois. So it is with toma-
toes. An Ohio correspondent of the
Rural New Yorker tells that he once
thought be was doing well when he
raised 400 bushels of tomatoes per
acre. In the past five years he has
had three crops which exceeded 60e
bushels per acre and last year the
yield was $50 bushels per acre. He
now raises the Erliana tomato be-
cause 1t will stand liberal manuring
without running to vine.

He drew from her the admission that
she continued her relations with White

She was made TO admit abe had re.

that while she was in Europe kilograms
were sent to White asking him to Use

about Thaw.
In answer to questions she confessed
that she saw nothing wrong in her life
until Thaw made it plain to her in Paris.
