Formerly he had to throw away from

I'VE found that the improvement in

cities offering from $3.50 to 50 a. case
more for Iowa eggs than they paid for
eggs from states surrounding Iowa.
This led to the growth Of practice,
of shipping Missouri eggs into Iowa
and rebilling them to Chicago as Iowa
eggs. We put inspectors on the track.
and by cooperation with the federal
officials, we have broken up the sys-
tenn. thereafter Missouri eggs will go
to outside points as Missouri eggs, and
not as Iowa product. $sa

necessary for our inspectors to be un-

What to Do for Eczema

Greasy salves and ointments should not
be applied if good clear skin is wanted.
From any druggist for 25c or S100 for
extra large size, get a bottle of zemo.
When applied as directed, it effectively
removes eczema, quickly stops itching.
and heals skin troubles, also sores. burns,
cleanses and soothes. Zemo is dependable
and inexpensive. Try it, as we believe
nothing you have ever used is as effective
and satisfying.

IRRieATioN PAYS TRUCKERS.
Has Meant Difference Between Success
and Failure Of Mary Growers.

and Failure Of Mary Growers.
Irrigation has proved its worth to
| many truck gardeners in Iowa this
year, according to A. T, Erwin, in
charge Of truck crops work for the
agricultural experiment station at
Ames. Wherever irrigation has been
practiced. the yields of onions, melons,
sweet potatoes and other vegetables
has been greatly increased over the
yields of un!rrisated truck fields. In
some instances the use of irrigation
has meant the difference between fail
,ire and successful crop; generally
it has increased the yield from 80 to
90 per cent.
On Muscatine island. in Muscatine
county. some of the large fields OF
canteloupes and sweet potatoes were
irrigated with very satisfactory re-
suits. In Pleasant Valley, near Daven-
port, the most successful onion fields
were watered by irrigation. Near OF
tumwa and Waterloo large vegetable
fields were irrigated with profit. I'm
uuestionably, irrigation provides the
best crop insurance for the truck
grower" says Mr.. Erwin, and ex-
perience shows that it Is very profit
able"
Three different systems OF irrigation
are in use in Iowa. One is the over
head sprinkler system. the second the
Surface sprinkler. and the flooding
system. On the Muscatine islands. the
water is supplied by driven wells ten
feet or SO deep, eight or ten to the
acre. The water is pumped by gaso-
lene pump mounted on sled runners
and is hauled from we'll TO we'll to
flood the fields nearby.

er has just competed his report on
labor conditions up 10 the first of this
year. The Iact tnat there were fewer
members or LABOR unions reported in
1915 than in 1913 IS attributed to Il
failing off in coal miners last year and

tenders no longer exist since the sa-
looms have gone out of business in
Iowa.
For 1915, 70S local unions in the state
reported, whereas in 1913 there were

Of Early Planting.
Turnout Iowa the present season has
shown the Importance of planting pc
tatoes early, say the truck crop meh
at Iowa State College. Early planted
potatoes got a good start before dry
weather set in and they are yielding
again as\much as late planted fields.
Early planted potatoes returned satis-
factory profits; late planted were a
disappointment. Year in and year
out" says A. T. Erwin, of the Iowa
agricultural experiment station. the
early planting gives insurance Of good
yields and good profits"
The Iowa crop of potatoes suffered
seriously from the drouth. Fields
which last year yielded $50 bushels
are not producing 100 bushels per acre
this year The very late potatoes. with
vines that are still green, may be con-
siderably benefited by the early Sep
