Zemo for Dandruff

You do not want slow treatment
when hair is falling. and the dandruf
germ is killing the hair roots. Delay
means-no hair.
Get, at any drug store, a bottle Of
zemo for 25c or $100 for extra large
size; Use as directed, for It does tie
work quickly. 1t kills the dandruff germ,
nourishes the hair roots and Immediately
stops itching scalp. 1t is sure and safe,
is not greasy, is easy to use and will mot
stain. Soaps and shampoos are harm
full, as they contain alkali. The best
thing. to use is zemo, for it is pure and
also inexpensive.

THE GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT

WASHINGTON, Sept. SH eavy
damages to the country's cereal crops
during August caused loss OF many
millions Of bushels in prospective pro-
duction, cutting down the outlook for
wheat to below the amount required
for home consumption.
The department of agriculture's
monthly forecast, issued today, esti.
mates the wheat crop at 6l1,O0O,000
bushels, or 100000 bushels less than
is calculated to be necessary for do
nestle use. A carry-over of approxi-
mately 16O,0O0.000 of old wheat from
last years record breaking crop, how
ever, will make up the deficiency and
leave something like 100,00O.000 bush
els available to supply the heavy de-
mands of foreign nations for Ameri-
can wheat.
Spring wheat, parched by hot and
dry weather, showed loss of 43,00O,-
900 bushels since the August FORE
cast of production, while corn esti-
mates were 67,OO0,O00 bushels small
Ter than forecast month ago.
A preliminary estimate Of the win
ter wheat crop places the production
at 455,0OO,OOO bushels and that of
spring wheat at 156,OOO.O00. The pros
pective spring wheat crop is the small
lest in % years and 200,0OO,O00 bushels
less than harvested last year. The
total wheat crop is placed at 611 ,00O,-
900 bushels, which is 400,O00,00O bush
els less than last years record break
ing crop of 1,O12,O0O,O00 bushels. The
combined winter and spring wheat
crop is the smallest since 1900 and the
acre yield the lowest in 20 years.
The heavy loss in prospective pro
duction Of corn was due to drought
In Oklahoma many fields of corn were
cut for ensilage or fodder The total
crop is forecast at 2,710,00O,0 900 bush
