TO HOLD
Demonstrations To Prevent
Oats Smut

Oats is one of the important crops
in this county. Almost without ex.
ception large acreage is planted on
almost every farm. The production
per acre last season was only fair.
One of the factors which seriously
lowered oats production here was
the prevalence of smut. In fact, oats
smut is one of the most generally de.
structive plant diseases in any sea
son II is estimated that from 10 to
40 per cent loss Is sustained every
year due to this trouble.
Fortunately, seed oats can be sue
cessfully treated to prevent smut. 1t
costs only a small sum per acre. One
pint of formalin clean floor, a
sprinkling can, a scoop shovel and an
old canvas is all the equipment need
ed. For those desiring assistance In
learning how to treat seed oats for
smut, the college of agriculture is
preparing to hold free demonstra-
tions on limited number of farms
In representative sections of the
county. The instructor will come to
the farm where arrangements will
have been made for the demonstra.
ton. lie will show just how seed
oats should be treated for smut and
explain how the seed should be
handled before II is drilled Neigh
bors to the man ON whose farm the
demonstration will be held will be
Invited to the meeting so that the
entire community win benefit from
the demonstrations.
Those persons wishing TO make ap.
pication for such demonstration
should apply to Clark S. Wheeler di,

For q Bllloua Attack

When you have a severe headache,
accompanied by a coated tongue,
loathing of food, constipation, torpid
liver, vomiting of partly digested food
and then bile, you may know that you
have a severe bilious attack. While
you may be quite sick there is much
consolation in knowing that relief
may be had by taking three of Cham.
berlain's Tablets. They are prompt
ana effectual. Obtainable every
where.

Something Good

Those who hate nasty medicines
should try Chamberlain's Tablets for
constipation. They are pleasant to
take and their effect is so agreeable
and so natural that you will not re-
alize that it has been produced by a
medicine. Obtainable verywhere.

The strongest recommendation any

word from the user. 1t is the recon-

that makes Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy so popular. Mrs. Amanda

"Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
been used in my family off and on for
twenty years and it has never failed
to cure a cough or cold" Obtalnable
