WHAT TO DO FOR
ITCHING SKINS

Eezen1a, ringwerfn and other itching,
burning skin fruptions are so easily
made worse by improper treatment that
one has to be very careful. There is one
method, however, that you need not hes
itate to use. even on baby's tender
skin-that is, the resinol treatment.
Resinol is the prescription OF a Balti-
more doctor, put mp in the form of res
mol ointment and resinol soap. This
proved go remarkably successful that
thousands OF other physicians have been
Prescribing it constantly for 20 wears.
Resinol stops itching instantly, and
almost always heals the eruption quick
~ and at little cost. Resinol ointment
and resinol soap can be bought at any
druggists.

says whatever comes into his mind.

like to have him talk that way because
it hurts me. One reason it makes me
nervous is because / never say any

CORN WORK FOR SCHOOLS.
The Schools Should Help in the Move
ment to Save the Seed Corn for
Next Year.

Do not assign lessons by bulletins
and booklet. Teach by things, not
words. Then we shall be teaching the
boy and girl and not the subject.
Let the pupils go into the field and
select what they consider good ears
of corn. Now, look them over for
strong and weak points.
They haven't been told what to look
for? True-but let us not tell them;
let us work it out together.
Shell off half the corn from two or
three ears, keeping that from each
ear by itself. Measure the amounts
and compare them. Can you tell by
looking at the half-shelled ears why
one ear produces a larger amount OF
shelled corn than another ear of ap-
parently the same size?
We must examine the kernels more
closely. Some are too short, some
taper too much, some are chaffy.
Some will not drop evenly in the
planter.
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1915-09-16

Ears should be of medium size, not
too long nor too short. If they are
too long they are likely to mature
late; if they are too short, they will
mature too early and will not produce
as large a quantity of corn. Ears
which are too large around are late
maturing and are likely to have too
much cob; while ears which are too
slender will not yield a large amount
of corn.
Now we know what sort of an ear
is best for seed, but why should we
select it so early and why gather it
from the field? This is so we may
early. In short seasons, when the
frosts come late in the spring or early
in the fall, late maturing corn will
not ripen for seed. We should have
corn which we are sure will ripen be-
fore the frosts. You understand, OF
course, that If frost touches the corn
before it ripens, the germ may be de-
stroyed and this corn will not grow.
When it is late enough so that all
the corn is ripened, we cannot tell
which ears ripened early; SO we will
go into the field early and gather our
corn, selecting that which is already
matured.
Then we must know the type OF
stalk on which the ear grew
Study bulletins and articles on Sc
lecting seed corn and let the schools
lead the county in this movement
vital to the country's corn crop next
year.
The Agricultural Extension Depart
ment of The International Harvester
Company issues special school bull
letin on selecting seed corn from the
field which is sent for the asking.

POOR SEED MEANS A POOR
STAND.

If Every Ear of Corn Intended for
Planting Was Harvested at the
Proper Time, and Properly Stored
and Tested Before Planting, Mil
lions of Dollars Would Be Added to
the Value of the Corn Crop Every
Year.

What Is "Show Corn?"

At a corn show one often hears the
expression, Il have plenty of good seed
corn, but / haven't any show corn"
The best seed corn and the best show
corn should be the same, and the OBJ
ject of the judge at corn contest, and
of a farmer selecting his seed to plant,
should be the same. In each case
the most profitable ear is the one de-
sired.
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1915-09-16

Corn growers should remember that
poor seed is the chief cause of poor
stand, and that a poor stand means
a. small yield 1t means missing hills,
weak stalks producing little or moth
ing It rneans less than so bushels
per acre o. cad of go. 1t means that
we producc on an average, just one
small ear of corn to each hill instead
of two or three. 1t means wasted
land and wasted labor.

PICK SEED CORN EARLY.

1. Pick seed corn before Oc-
tober 1st, 1915.
2. Pick at least five times as
much As NEEDED.
8. Hang in dry, Well-Venti-
lated place.
q. Hang so ears will not
touch each other.

HOP NOTES AND COMMENT.

Reports Of disc0uraging conditions in
hop yards Of this section continue TO
come in, says tho Aurora Observer. II
appears that the early estimate Of 2j
to 80 per cent Of missing hills was none
too large. Some yards came through in
good shape, but the majority Of the
yards have an extraordinary number Of
missing hills, and hills In which the
vines are weak and slow 10 start.
In bis recent talk here on hops, Pro-
fessor II " Tartar, Of the Oregon Az
ricuturaI college, said that he had
found the missing Mills to occur more
common on the bench lands than In
the bottom land yards. Some attrib.
ute this to grdbbing the hops too close,
to insufficient cultivation, TO carly
frosts, aud 20 various other causes.
But my observations In many
yards, said Professor Tartar, econ.
vinces me that the missing hills are due
to the condition Of the soil. The soil
loses much OF lis humus or organic mat.
ter by year after year Of clean cultiya.
tion. As tde result Of this the hop
plant loses It's vitality, becomes weak
cned and the missing hill appears.
ITO remedy this, barnyard manure,
straw, or docaycd vegetable matter may
be added to the soil, or some leguminous
cover crop like vetch may be grown and
plowcd under think such a policy
viii, IN a great measure, cure The miss.
ing hill trouble.
Reports from London says that the
hop trade Is very quiet, and the market
IL 10 q waiting attitude. There seems
to be little prospect OF Improvement
until the matter Of liquor restrictions
assumes greater certainty. Favorable
