BABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING

when my baby was six months old,
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell of, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come of when / removed his
shirt.
I'VE tried a great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till q
friend induced ME to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. I used the CUT.

What Emmer is.

Emmer is a grain which belongs
to the wheat family. 1t differs from
wheat in having two kernels of grain
in each spikelet and in staying in
the hull when threshed more like bar
ley. 1t Is feed grain for fattening
of live stock and is good for CATTLE,
horses, sheep or swine. The hulls on
the grain help to widen the ration,
cause the animals to chew the grain
well, separate the particles of food
in the stomach aiding in perfect di-
gestion, mix in some roughage and
prevent any trouble from becoming
cloyed or "going off feed
or "going off feed".'
Improved winter emmer is larg
er, darker in color, heavier in straw
and head, with larger stooling power
and is much more hardyand prolific
under the conditions in this region
than the original emmer. Many of
the heads double the spiklets, giving
the appearance of composite wheat
The improved winter emmer seems
to be almost as hardy as winter
rye and is one of themost drouth and
cold resistant of winter grains. Hav-
ing been originated in the west, it
is adapted to the conditions here and
promises to be the most valuable feed
grain the farmer or stockman can
raise, whether hegrows crops by If
rigation or dry farming methods.
Improved winter emmer swill grow
anywhere that winter wheat can be
produced and it requires the same
kind of soil and treatment. Sow with
press drill if it can be had and
SOW at the rate of one bushel of 40
pounds to the acre, in September or
Ocobter, SO that the grain will come
up before freezing weather sets in.
If you irrigate give the grain a
good irrigation before it goes into
the winter, and the better plan is to
irrigate the land before the grain is
planted. In the spring one or more
good harrowings will help the grain.
1t will be ready to harvest late in
June or early in July and should be
cut before it gets too ripe and dry.
1t may be threshed either from field
or stack. Don't get discouraged i'll

South Carolina Corn Prize Winner
Joins Ad Men in Boston.

Boston. Aug 2.-One of the delegates
to the national convention CT advertis
ing men here this week is Jerry Moore.
Is years old. of Florence, :. C. who
can boast of being the champion corn
grower of the world. Three years ago.
a movement was started in the south
by the department of agriculture to en-
courage tie raising of corn by the
rising generation The subject was ia
ken up in the schools and the boys
passed examinations in the theory Of
the subject. From lesson to practical
demonstration was an easy step. South
Carolina offered prizes for corn raising
and Jerry determined 10 put his theories
into practice. He forthwith succeeded
in smashing all records. growing 22S
bushels OF corn on an acre. The gov
ernment paid him 50 a bushel for his
corn for seed distribution.
Jerry says that the teaching of sci
entific farming has been of great bene-
fit to the south. He pointed out that,
whereas the average yield was formerly
25 bushels of corn to an acre, it is now
about 100 bushels.
