Now is the time to overhaul the
farm machinery in preparation for
the rush work in the spring. The
more preparation you make now,
the less you will have to do when
the time arrives for the actual
work of seeding, plowing and plant
ing. Overhaul all your machinery
and see if repairs are needed. If
some parts are broken or lost, get
them and put them on now, do not
wait until you must use the ma
chine. Go over your plows and see
that they are in good shape. Also
have your disk harrows sharpened
and polished and oiled so that they
will be ready for use.

THURSDAY, MARCH II, 1915.

Most people enjoy having birds,
especially song birds, as neighbors'
Few people, however, have a
very definite idea of how much
value birds really are to the far
mers of the United States. 1t has
been stated recently that the an
nual loss to the farm crops of the
United States due to insects is more
than $4OO,OOO,O00 and also that a
large part of this loss could be pre-
vented by birds if they were pro-
tected from slaughter. This game
would seem worth while.

BOOST FOR GOOD ROADS.

Boost for Perrysburg' has been
our slogen, and right royalty have
we boosted. The Civic Associa-
ton has been a means, by which
we could get together and unite
our efforts for the common we'll
fare, and a world of good has been
the result. But with all the fine
things that we have accomplished,
the work is only begun, for there
is still much ahead that remains to
be done.
We have seen better Perrys-
burg growing out of our efforts,
and we are glad. A community,
which acts in unison, can perform
wonders, just as one. in which the
members are continually at war
with each other, can effect nothing.
What then remains to be done?
Even as we have worked for
Perrysburg, let us not forget that
it is but a part of Wood county,
and that, while our interests lie
first in our town, the county comes
next in our consideration, for what
affects the town also concerns the
county, and, vice versa, whatever
benefits the county does likewise
to the town. In what way may
the members of the county be
bound more closely together?
There is only one answer-Good
Roads. They are necessary above
all else, for they are the binding
links of our entire social and COM
merciai structure.
With Good Roads we can do
everything; without them nothing.
Let us work for Good Roads, we of
Perrysburg, as well as our neigh
bors throughout the county, put
ting our undivided attention and
whole-hearted efforts into the task,
and we will be amazed at the pro-
gress that we can make
Let us work not only for better
roads, but for Good Roads-the
best that there are. Let us not be
satisfied with accepting any old
road, over which our horses and
automobiles can at first proceed,
but which will later deteriorate,
and be worse than it was before.
Let us have only the best.
With the cooperation Of the far
mers, the Civic Association can
accomplish this. 1t is something
for the whole county, and thus,
something for us.

SUMMING UP
THE EVIDENCE.
Many Perrysburg People Have Been
Called as Witnesses.

Week after week has been published
the testimony of Perrysburg people
kidney sufferers-backache victims
people who have endured many forms
of kidney, bladder or urinary disor-
ders. These witnesses have used
Doan's Kidney Pills. All have given
their enthusiastic approval. It's the
same everywhere. 10000 American
men and women are publicly recon-
mending Doan's-always in the home
papers. Isn't it a wonderful, convinc-
ing mass of proof? If you are suf-
ferer your verdict must be "Try
Doan's first"
Here's one more Perrysburg case,
Thomas Phillips, Fifth ST., w. Per-
rysburg, says: "About two years ago
Doan's Kidney Pills relieved me OF
backache and other symptoms of kid
ney complaint. l willingly endorse
this remedy, feeling certain that it
will cure the most obstinate case of

IMPORTANT TO FARMERS

Smut in oats can be entirely

which is sold by G. L. Maddy &

work as can be proven by many
farmers in this locality who have
tried it.
The grain is treated with
the Sporicide before sowing
and the cost of treatment is not
over 10 cents per acre.
Mr.. Maddy sells the Sporicide
on positive guarantee that it will

THE FREAK LEGISLATOR.
Nearly Every State Has Law Maker
Whose Hobbies Carry Them to
the Extremes.

Every year sees the introduction of
freak bills into the legislatures of one
or more states, but the spring of 1915
seems to have capped the climax. The
freak legislators have run mad. Hard
ly state has escaped. 1t is the fash
ion of the press to poke fun at Kan
sas which may be depended to come
to the front with something foolish in
the way of legislation. And although
the Sunfower state has lived up to
her glowing reputation in the present
session, her companions in the soror-
ity of states have not fallen far be-
hind. Most of the new laws have been
introduced for the purpose of prohib-
iting something or other. Here are a
few, culled from one days exchanges:
To prohibit the catching of frogs
Minnesota.
To prohibit the use of face powder,
rouge, hair dye or bleach, the pierre
ing of ears and the wearing of ear
rings.-Kansas.
To compel chickens to go to roost
bClOIC . y. 1o PioNloS ShoO ooiio

Providing that all weeds and plants
which cause hay fever shall be remov-
ed from the roadsides. Bachelors to
pay an annual tax of So per head.
Prohibiting the wearing of whiskers
by doctors and dentists.-Massochu-
sets.
Compelling the National Guard to
do ninety days work each year on the
roads and bridges of the state. Re-
quiring dealers in stock foods to pay
an annual license of $25 year. Pro-
hibiting free lunches.-Nebraska.
Compelling churchgoers to leave

TEST YOUR SEED CORN
You Can Increase the Corn Average
Ten Bushels Per Acre By
Proper Testing.

There are 100000 acres of corn
land in the average county. By seed
selection and proper cultivation the
yield can be increased ten bushels per
acre. What one man can do the
average man can do. Ten bushels
more on 100000 acres is 100000
more bushels, fourth more than half a
million dollars to your county this
year. Prices undoubtedly will be high.
Don't be caught with your bowl
wrong-side up when it rains porridge.
The average ear has six hundred to
seven hundred kernels. Each kernel,
planted three in hill, should produce
a, cornstalk. Each stalk should pro-
duce at least one ear of corn. One
hundred ears to bushel means that
each ear of corn should yield six to
seven bushels. Your county loses
$3.50 to 81 on each ear that will not
grow. Seed corn of a good variety,
each ear tested and guaranteed to
grow is worth 81 to SIS per bushel.

Villages Near Outer Forts
Under BOmbardment.
BATTLING FOR DUKLA PASS
Teuton Allies Using Every Effort to
Check invading Russians in the
carpathians - Germans in West
Bombarding the Fortress of verdun.

London, April IA Reuters dis
patch received from Constantinople
by way of Berlin says the allied fleet
has resumed it's bombardment of vii
lagos near the outer forts of the OAR
danelles. Turkish aviators are max.
ing daily "Reminiscences.
The battle of the Carpathian passes
now rivals the bombardment of the
Dardanelles in possibilities. German
experts assert that the efforts being
made by Russia are of such vital i'm
portance politically that the supreme
command of the Teutonic allies is
justified in exerting every effort to
check the invader there.
According to this view of the sit
uation a sudden and dramatic influx
of Muscovite hosts through the Car
pathians into Hungary might stir the
Balkan nations to action long before
the tedious attack of the allied fleet
on the Dardanelles attains anything
approaching a definite result.
On the Western front the Germans
are reported to be giving up their
plans for breaking through the de-
lenses of the allies near the coast,
along the User. They are making a
new effort along the fortified Franco
German border by bombarding the
fortress of Verdun.
Germans Bombard Njeuport.
At the same time the continued
bombardment of Newport indicates
that the Germans are still opposing
any extension of the allied line along
the Belgian coast.
Internally England is still con-
cerned with the labor and drink ques-
ton.
A statement indicating that a Ger
man submarine may have been sunk
by a French cruiser was given out
by the French ministry of marine at
Paris. 1t is as follows:

the surface off Dieppe. The cruiser
Immediately gave chase, forcing the
submarine to dive, firing meanwhile
at the periscope and turning in order
to ram it with the bow.
"The cruiser passed above the sub
marine at the moment the periscope
disappeared and from the spot where
ties of oil flowed to the surface"

APPLE SHORTAGE IS
PREDICTED
Old Trees in Northwest Light in
Bloom-Decrease About
40 Per Cent

/ According to reports received by
the Northwestern Fruit Exchange al
Seattle. The northwestern apple
crop this year will fall short of the
1914 output, which was approximate
ly $4,000 carloads. They state that
the bloom on the old trees is much
less than last year, but that trees
coming into bearing will have con-
siderable counteracting effect.
The Yakima district was the heav-
lest contributor to northwestern ton
mage in 1914 with nearly 600 car
loads, but the consensus of opinion
now is that it will ship only so per
cent of that tonnage this year. Many
of the old trees will carry but 25
to 40 per cent of their load if the
bloom is true indicator. Even with
new orchards coming into bearing it
is not safe to estimate above 1000
carloads for 1915.
Wenatchee shipped 5570 cars of
apples during the season just closed.
It's old trees show indisposition to
bear heavily, but not so much as at
Yakima. Many new orchards will
bear their first substantial crop, espe-
cially in the section of the north,
called the up-river country, where it
is estimated that 400 cars will be
rolled as compared with $50 last sea-
son. Jonathans are short at both Wen
atchee and Yakima although the
same trees bore light crop last year.
Winesaps will be heavy again.
The same story comes from Hood
River. It's shipments for 1914 were
close to 1900 cars, ard it will not have
any more in 1915. Spokane reports
a shortage and estimates less than
400 cars.
Rogue River valley of southern
Oregon had light crop in 1914 on
accout of drouth, and it is now
feared that there will be another
shortage of water and crop. The
present normal prospect is for 1900
cars consisting of 7e0 of pears and
500 of apples. However, unless
weather conditions are favorable, this
estimate will fall short of realization.
There are still many things that
,an happen to cut down the crop,
1ut little to increase the above esti-
mates. Hundreds of growers in some
districts are fighting frosts nightly,
this danger is now nearly
,ast In some sections the battle with
blight is serious and the issue proble-
natic. There will be more or less
Tune drop. Wind and hail storms
nay come to any or all districts dur
ng the summer.
Several of the less important dis
riots will have increased tonnage,
'ut this is. more than offset by the
hortage in other sections.

CELEBRATE BIRTHDAY
ANNIVERSARY
Odd Fellows Make Merry With
Feasting, Song and
Story

The 96th anniversary of the found
ing of American Odd Fellowship was
observed in fitting manner by En-
mettsville lodge Monday evening. A
large number of Odd Fellows and Re-
bekahs were present, and the instruc-
tive and entertaining program, and
the delicious refreshments and social
dance that followed, were enjoyed to
the limit. w. w. Wilton, noble grand.
presided and delivered the address of
welcome.
The program was as follows:
Address-"The Three Links and
What They Stand For,D by v. T. Craig
A splendid historical presentation of
the founding, growth and good work
of the I. o. o. F. order.
Piano duet, by Misses Ellen War

similar manner. In 25 years this area
will presumably be thicket of sap
ling yellow pine. And in $50 years it
will justify a logging operation.
Peach Trees Kined

Reports of injury to peach orchards
come from the. South Slope district.
In the Hargus, Bucknum and War
den orchards many of the trees are
dying. The. cause is believed to be
the lack of moisture during the win
ter, which reduced the vitality of the
trees so that they were unable to with
stand the freezing weather. 1t is
noticeable that the trees affected are
those in light soil. The trees in heavy
soil show no signs of being injured.
The loss, it is believed, will be about
one-third of the trees. Other or
chards scattered here and there are
but only in slight degree.
