and at one of the school houses near
Conover on Saturday April 18th. The
subject for discussion at both of
these meetings will be potatoes as
this one of the most important crops
of this section. If possible plans
will be made to secure uniform seed
and several things of Importance to
potato growers will be discussed. The
meetings will be advertised and full

lars. Remember the place and dates

this all important industry.
Are you one of those farmers who
annually trusts to luck to have your
seed grain grow? Were you ever dis
appointed by getting only half crop
on your best field and didn't know
the reason why. Hundreds OF farm
ers in this sta each spring insure
their chances Tor a complete and uni
form crop by the use of two pie tins
and piece of blotting paper. With
these they determine beforehand
whether or not their seed is the
strong, healthy, vigorous growing
kind that will terminate and with
stand the cold damp weather after
planting.
Count out one hundred average
seeds of the grains to be tested, and
place on pad or wet blotOing paper
in the bottom oI one vi Glle pie tins.
Another moist PAD of blottlng pap r
is placed over Jile seeds. The oUher
is used as d COY CT.

There is more Catarrh in this section Of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced 1t a local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven Catarrh to be q consti-
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
