JOHN H. KEEL TELLS HOW
 HE MADE BIC CORN YIELD
A Former Nevada County Dis
 covers New Kind of Grain

John H Keel of Newport, for mer state senator, who has pro- duced such remarkable yields of corn on his land near Newport, says that he has received many requests for information as to how he did it, and he offers the following explanation:
 During the last b years I have been asked by many inqair- ing individuals how 1 succeeded in raising so much corn per acre, and for the information of the public l am writing this in eXpla- nation.
 For years of my farming life bought seed corn from North ern seed houses. and the best yield 1 could get was from 20 to 30 bushels.
 One day a Methodist preach CT came along with some flint seed corn in his saddle bags. His name was Hammond, and sad he Was taking this corn to his brother r-in-lav in the Indian Ter ritory.
 The corn he aad was SC had and firm thas taa iiea occurred tome thatitW9s perhaps imper- vious to the corn weeviI. So l persuaded him to let me have this corn, and l planted 1t in al- ternate rows with the Iowa dent variety.
 "I confess l was amazed at the wonderful production of this blending of the two varieties.
 Il made enough from one peck of this blend to plant 150 acres in the following year, besides giving my neighbors some for planting.
 II have distributed this impro- ved Hammond corn among my neighbors up and down the White river for the last eight or ten years, and 1t is not amiss to say that all those in my neigh borhood who planted the Ham mond have their cribs full. while those who planted other yari,

cites are already buying corn fer feed and seed. The tenants on my place, II families, have from 800 to l 200 bushels each in ex- cess for their next years need.
 The drouth-resisting quality of my corn, l believe, IS abund- antly proven in our 1916 yield, for in this section of the state, excepting two light showers, we had no rain from June 1 to Oct. 2 a period covering practically the whole growing season. | ct for all this we made on the whole place the high average of 80 bus hels per acre. So feel we'll jus, titied in laying claim to it's great drouth-resisting qualities.
 Sam Greene, widely known Ievee builder of Columbus, Kan sas, saw this crop growing in August last. and stated to me he had never seen such corn growth in all his experience in the states of Kansas. Missouri and Iowa.
 "Fhe cultivation of this corn is no secret nor does it differ from the methods pursued by any up- to date corn grower.
 "I break my land fer corn ear l ly in December. blowing deep, and blowing under all stalks, weed, etc.. for humus.
 The latter part of March 1 rebreak this ground, disc, har- row and drag to smooth the sur face.

At 8 o'clock the little crowd assembled, the entire house was beautifully decorated in autumn leaves, games of various kinds were enjoyed by the little folks. The principal feature of the afternoon was "Pinning on the don keys tail" which afforded much amusement. The prize fell to little Miss Hesterly Johnson. The little hostess led the way into the dining room, which was artisticaliy decorat- ed in ferns and beautiful autumn leaves filling every nook and corner
 In the center of the table was a large snowy white birthday cake, with 1 red candles shining forth to greet the happy little faces; row of pretty autumn leaves surrounded the cake. At each place was a miniature donkey bearing the inscription, Mary Mor- ton, born Nov. ,, 1912" on one side of the donkey and on the other side was "Woodrow Wilson was elected Nov. 3, 1912 in red, white and blue letters.

Bad Temper from Bad Liver

You can generally blame your grouch on a lazy liver. Liver ills are back of coated tongue, bad breath, biliousness and muddy, sallow com plexion.

It stimulates the activity of the liver, increases the flow of bile, and by it's laxative qual- ity carries off the waste matter and clears the complexion. At your Druggist, soc.

 Many of the grammar school pupils attended the game with Nashville Friday afternoon.
 Halloween night was enjoyed very much, there were several parties and 'possum hunts. The poys were busy assisting ancient buggies and other property to positions of prominence on the campus.
 The work in school is steadily inn proving and all the rooms are making progress. We have had few visitors but not as many as we would like.
 Primary Building.
 The work at the primary building is moving along nicely with excep- tionally good attendance.
 Mrs. Chappell, the first grade teacher has been ill these last three days and MT. Chappell has been sub stituting. He seems to have the little folks charmed as we hear many ex- pressions of approval from them. We are glad to see the tiling on the ground and hope the drainage so much needed will soon be effected. The first and fifth grades are still suffering because of lack of window shades
 The drainage ditch on the northwest side of the school ground is in a very !unsanitary condition.
 We want to thank the mothers who have made our rooms so much more cheerful by their contributions of ferns and other pot-plants.

MADISON GRAIN MARKET.
SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City. July EFT was very
evident by the smallness of the re-
ceipts of live stock at the local mar
ket that farmers are busy in the har-
vest fields. Run of cattle was limit
ed 10 400 head, as against 1922 a
week ago, and 1,240 the correspond
ing day a year ago.
Sellers had the advantage when il
came to turning killing grades and
another advance of 10 a 15c was
scored. making the gain for the week
to date figure right at IS a ACC on
dry lot cattle and Is 25c on grass
ers.
Nothing new developed in the
stocker and feeder branch. Farmers
are too busy TO come in and trade
tone was again quiet. \ limited in
quiry is being had for the good
lightweight steers and heifers. while
plain, heavy cattle are draggy and
somewhat lower than at the close OF
business last week.
Hog market developed uneasiness.
Attractive quality butcher and light
kinds ruled about steady, while
rough packing grades were weak to
loo lower. Tops reached $9.70,
while the bulk of sales were at a
spread of $3.50 a $50.
Salable supply of sheep was again
limited and no radical change was
quotable.
