Farmers VIII Continue Wheat Culturs

Dodge City, Kan, April ga
policy that will not require them to
risk their entire chances of profits for
a year on the wheat crop is what Ford
county farmers are trying to work out.
1t does not mean that they are going
to abandon wheat growing, for they
regard that as the most profitable
crop, but they want some source of
steady revenue whether the wheat
yields or not. A number of methods
have been tried out in the last few
years, including watermelons, broom
corn, garden stuff, sheep and Angora
goats.
The substitutes that have proved
better than any appear to be the dairy
COW and the hen. AS a result dairying
has received more attention here this
spring than ever before.
The new method also calls for the
building Of silos, for the farmers have
discovered that IS the best method of
conserving feed. To fill the silos they
will plant cane, kafir and sorghum.

Is Sickness
a Sin :?

Excess in eating, drinking, smok-

overloads Nature and is sinful. When
she falls behind in her work, the
mucous membrane of the mouth sends
you notice by a coated tongue and
Shiny taste.
The whole mucous lining of your
body is similarly coated and the bad
taste and coated tongue are warnings
that the Bile, Natures disfnfectant,

The Mucosa, as it is called, must be
cleaned-your blood must be disin-

own disinfectant. Bile, is the only gen.
