the wealth OF the nation about $14.-

The total of that increase for a sea-
son would pay of the Understanding
debt of the United States-would pay
for seven Panama canals.
Yet the production Of corn In the
United States last year was but lit
tie over 25 bushels per acre!
Do you know what that means?
Ask anyone who really knows the
corn game. He will tell you that II
means that more than half OF the
farmers of the United States don't
know the first principles of the science
Of corn growing.
III they did the corn crop should add
to the wealth of the nation $4,000, 900
per day OF growth, instead Of paltry
$14 ,00O, 000-granting, OF course, for
the sake Of the argument, that prices
wouldn't shrink With tie doubling OF
the crop. At any rate we should have
twice as much corn as we have now
or just as much on half as much land
which might be better.
Since the average yield OF corn per
acre in the United States Is but 25.5
bushels per acre, whereas SO bushels

NERVOUSNESS
Can Be Cured by Building
Up the Blood.
This Il the Tonic Treatment for Nsr.
vous Trouble Which IL Meeting
with Such Great Success.

Since most common nervous troubles
are caused by o defect in the blood, TO
cure them at the root the blood defect
must be corrected. So when aphysician
gives q medicine for the nerves he gives
something that will act on the blood In
such way that the nerves will benefit.
There il, therefore, no mystery about
the fact that DIR. Williams Pink Pills
are both a blood-blilder and a nerve
tonic. nothing unrecoenized by science
in the power OF these pills to cure severe
nervous disorders as well as diseases of
the blood. DIR. Williams Pink Pills are
q specific for anamia, or deficiency Of
blood. Hence they are a remedy for
all nervous diseases which result from,
or thrive under, ansemic conditions.
The success OF the tonic treatment
through the blood is thus described by
Mrs. Charles Fenton, whose address IS
r. F. ID. No. /, Dayton, Ohio. She says:

A bushel OF corn will plant six acres.
Seed of best quality will increase yield
10 bushels per acre over unsolicited
seed-or 60 bushels for every bushel
of seed.
After the seed, the soil. In the first
place, never plant corn on poor land.
IL all your land Is poor. grow beans or
peas or clover and apply manure till
the soil Is in good condition. Then
plant corn. But don't ever plant 1t
On swampy land undrained, or on clay
knobs, or near to timber.
Harrow your field till you get a
perfectly smooth seed bed, free from
clods, with finely pulverized top
mulch.
The rows should be three feet or
more apart, with stalks spaced III
inches. Plant three kern3s in a hill,
or drill one kernel every 10 or IL
inches. II you plant with hoe, take
care to 'kernel-space" in the hill, scat
tering the kernels at least five inches
apart.
IL you are planting in stir, clay
soil, containing plenty Of water, plant
an inch deep. II the soil is light and
dry, plant three, or even four inches
deep.
In planting on steep hillsides, run
your rows horizontally around the hill.
II you plant otherwise each row be-
comes a gutter every time 1t rains and
the soil washes away.
As To time of plantirg that varies
OF course. Never, under any circvum-
stances, plant In cold or wet ground,
no matter what the calndar says.
And when the corn Is growing, don't
hoe or cultivate deep. Just pulverize
the top soil into dust mulch and
keep 1t that way.

For several weeks, the auto patrols
have been equipped with jacks having
q capacity OF 10 tons. Thus the pa

The slowness with which the traction
company works In cases OF accident
moved Mr.. Croul to install the jacks
Monday was the first time that the
police were called upon to do this sort
of work. After the arrival of the
auto. 1t took the officers exactly three
minutes to jack up the car and re-
move the body.
Citizens who witnessed the work
were much impressed by the efficiency
of the officers, all Of whom have had
a special course In this line Of work
In the ID. u. r. barns. Commissioner
Croul wants 1t known that the depart
ment Is equipped for this kind OF
work, which has q double value, In
that 1t serves to remove bodies OF dead

facilitates traffic. The auto patrol was
manned by Signal Officer Rogers and
Patrolmen Kirk and Watson.
