WHY The BEST
OF CHEWS IS
SPEAR HEAD
It's Rich. Sweet. Mellow Flavor Has
Been Famous for .
Generation =
MADE OF CHOICEST REQ suRLEY

The secret of tobacco satisfaction is
known only to the man who chesvs plug
tobacco. The reason is that a good
chew gets right next to your taste,
while the leaf in plug tobacco is in a
state Of fresh, juicy richness that is not
possible in any other form of tobacco.
There's no tobacco in the world that
can give you the hearty, wholesome
favor that you get from a delicious
chew of Spear Head.
Spear Head is made exclusively of
ripe, red Kentucky Burley-the most
richly-favored chewing tobacco that
grows. Still more, only the very choic-
est red Burley leaf is used for Spear
Head.
This choice leaf is selected with the
most painstaking care, is stemmed by
hand, is thoroughly washed free of all
foreign matter, and is pressed into
Spear Head plugs SO slowly that not a
drop of juice or an atom of the nat
lral flavor escapes.
Try Spear Head and you'll get a
sweet, mellow, luscious, satisfying chew
that cannot be obtained in any other
tobacco. Buy Sc or 10c cut to-day.

Dr.. Koen Tells Ho,D
to Control Cholera
Among S,Oi,,e Herds

Hog cholera Is big thing. The
losses resulting from It's ravages total
millions annually. In one year Iowa
lost nearly 100000 from this disease
alone. Even last year. when 1t seemed
scarce, the losses amounted to nearly
$4,000 900 Iowa with all her wealta
can not afford to lose even this lesser
amount. And it need not be lost.
Cholera can be controlled but 1t Is
big job. 1t is so big that 1t demands
the close cooperation of the farmers
who produce the hogs, the veterinar-
ians who are the guardians Of the AMI.
NAL health, and the united efforts OF
the authorities. state and federal.
Therefore, the first essential in the
control Of cholera is to bring about this
close CO. operation.
The state and federal authorities are
united. The local veterinarians in the
twenty-seve counties where intensive
work is being carried on have agreed
to give their hearty cooperation. And
wherever we have had an opportunity
to meet with the farmers and explain
the work we found them most anxious
to organize and cooperate.
In Iowa, hog cholera control Is no
longer a matter Of education. 1t Is
matter of putting into practice what
We know While we hope to meet as
many farmers personally as we can. in
our meetings. and elsewhere, We do not
want you to feel that we merely desire
to tell you how to control cholera. we
desire to help you get rid of the infec-
ton in your herds and on your farms
and in this way control the disease.
To control the disease in single
herd three things are necessary; VIZ.
First-Vaccination with anti hog
cholera serum and virus. There Is no
use wasting time and money trying out
any So called cure" There is no agent
known that will either prevent or as
sist in curing cholera other than anti
hog cholera serum.
Second - Quarantine Is absolutely
necessary If cholera is to be controlled.
The best form of quarantine Is the one
that Is voluntary and self imposed. 1t
means merely the care Of the sick hogs
in such a manner that the injection Will
be confined on the premises. 1t also
includes the destruction of all dead
hogs by burning.
InlrC-SdnltdllOIl. AIleI lht oSA uhA
preventive treatment has controlled the
disease in the hogs and the owner or
the sick herd has prevented its spread
by establishing and maintaining
practical quarantine. it Is then neces-
sary that the premises be rid OF ~
lection by thoroughly cleaning and dis
injecting them.
To control cholera in community
there must be cooperative action on
the part Of all neighbors living near
the center Of infection. This means
they must avoid visiting the infected
lots. or permitting any person. anima%
or thing from those infected lots to
visit their hog lots. We have found
this corporation can be best secured
by organization, therefore. we are
| working for township and county or
| eanizations in all counties that sys-
tematic fight can be waged simultane-
! ously In all.
Next week I will discuss How Hog
| Cholera Spreads" John s. Koen,
Inspector in Charge.

FORESTRY NEEDED ON FARM.
Farm Wood!ot and Windbreak Both
Fill Bio Need

Windbreaks Of the right tree species
when properly placed, are effective in
conserving soil moisture during the
growing season, by checking the We
locity of the wind near the grouno.
says Prof. G. 3. Mcdonald, head Of the
forestry department Of Iowa State Col-
lege, in forestry bulletin No. 4. Future
Forestry in Iowa." recently issued. Ac-
tual crop measurements by the United
States government and various state
experiment stations have demonstrated
that this saving in soil moisture can
be directly translated into increased
crop production and thus into dollar
and cents.
Using wndbreaks for crop protec-
ton is one phase of forestry work in
which the farmer should be most in
rerested. Proper use of the woodlot
would be another source of profit
Many owners Of woodlots do not know
that there is an almost practical elimi'
nation of taxes on farm woodlots that
are listed with the proper state of1i-
Gals.

Notable Success With Alfalfa,

Cedar Falls, Aug 10.-There are a
few pieces Of alfalfa in Blackhawk
county which indicate without any
doubt that alfalfa can be successfully
grown. The most prominent of these
are located on the light sandy soil.
The most notable success of alfalfa in
the county at this time is a field on
the farm of Fred Baskins, north Of
Cedar Falls. This was put in two years
ago. The field was heavily lined with
about four tons Of lime per acre. 1t
was inoculated with commercial cul-
ture and heavily MANFRED. The lime
and manure was put on early in the
season and the alfalfa sowed at the rate
of twenty pounds per acre, some time
during the latter part Of June or the
first of July. Mr.. Baslins has already
cut over two tons Of alfalfa per acre
this season 1t is the second of his
successful attempts growing alfalfa,
and he is now making arrangements
to put in third field.
Mr. Baskins' success Is due to the
liberal use of crushed lime stone and
early seeding. His first field put in
three years ago still produces vigor-
ously despite the fact 1t has been
heavily pastured with hogs. He does
not believe in late seeding, and in
this his experience is borne out by the
results Of others. that alfalfa seeded
late very often dries out and occasion
ally when it does start does not at
tain sufficient growth to Withstand tbs
winter Some very successful alfalf:l
has been grown where the seed was
put in in the spring with light seed
ing Of oats or barley-about one bushel
Of oats per acre. the oats being cut
for hay early In the season where the
alfalfa makes considerable growth.
All of Mr.. Baskins' alfalfa is locat-
ed on high. rolling sandy soil. The
water could not stand on any part OF
it at any time during the year. Close
examination Of the land shows that
there are several feet Of pure sand at
the surface. These same fields indi-
cate that the alfalfa will not grow
without heavy lining, for where lime
was not applied the alfalfa refused to
grow. The common practice in the
country has been that Of applying
about two tons per acre. Mr.. Baskins
has found that this is not enough. He
says that four tons is the least
amount that should be applied
and that five to six tons would be bet
ter. On the sandy soil he is not trou-
bled with bluegrass. The success OF
Mr. Baskins is not an exceptional case.
There are a number nj farms in the
locality where small fields Of aIfa'f"
h,Na beep snrrassf',llv started. Most
of those undoubtedly need more lime

GOOD CORN CROP EXPECTED.

Reports from competent observers
indicate that the corn crop In northern
Iowa will be good this year and that
some millions Of bshels of corn will

ly to the seed corn campaign con-
Quoted last fall and winter by the eX-

These indications point to muo~
larger corn crop In Iowa than we had
reason to expect, considering the poor
seed corn left over from last year.
says r. K. Bliss, director of agricul-

campaign of last winter is having good
