SHORTAGE Of SEED
CORN.VERY SERIOUS
Governor Sets Aside a Week to
Test Ears
ASKS FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION
Executive ir Proclamation Urges Bust.
ness Men to Cooperate With the
Farmers in an Effort TO Save
Badger Strains.

Madison.-So serious has become
the shortage of the seed corn supply
and so uncertain its terminating quail
ity that Governor Philip decided, af-
ter conference with Commissioner c.
P. Norgord of the department of ag-
riculture to issue the following proc.
lamation:
Whereas, the department of agri-
culture has called my attention to the
serious shortage of good seed corn IN
Wisconsin, due to the uhfavorable RI
pening season last fall /, therefore,
deem it necessary to acquaint the pub
lie with the following facts;
Many terminating tests have
shown that little of the seed corn has
sufficient vitality to make it safe for
planting without securing a germinat-
ing test for each ear. However, much
of the seed saved, though low in ger
mination, contains many ears Of high
vitality. These can be found and
saved by a simple test of each ear.
Many of Wisconsins improved,
homegrown and acclimated strains of
seed corn that otherwise might be de-
stroyed and lost to the state, can in
this way be saved ard profitably used
Greatly decreased stands and yields,
with much waste of time, money and
effor, will surely follow if the seed on
hand is planted without proper testing.
The situation is so serious and the
need for immediate action so impera-
tive that l deem it advisable to pub
licly call attention to these conditions.
To this end. / hereby proclaim the
week from March q to April l as seed
corn week. / urge that during this
period every farmer thoroughly test
each ear of his seed corn and elimi-
nate all ears not showing high germi-
nation. also urge that business men
of all classes encourage farmers in
this work and they render assistance
in obtaining acclimated seed of high
vitality"
1t is pointed out by Commissioner
Norgord that one ear of seed corn pro-
duceS on the average 500 kernels. The
failure of one seed corn means a fail
ure of 500 kernels, loss of 500 ears
in the crop, eight bushels or $40O

What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH

Few people realize TO what extent their
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases Of Sc
rious illness, makes a chemical analysis
Of the patients urine. He knows that I'M
less the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back TO health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected OF
abused in any way, serious results are sure
to follow. Therefore, it is particularly
necessary to pay more attention 10 the
health Of these important organs.
An IDEAL herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as a kidney remedy Is
DR.. Kiimer's Swamp Root.
The mild and healing influence Of this
preparation. IN most cases, Is soon real
lied. according to sworn statements and
verified testimony Of those who have used
the remedy.
When your kidneys require attention,
get Swamp-Roof at once from any phar-
macy. 1t is sold by every druggist in bot
ties Il two sizez-5oe and 800.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation. send ten cents to Dr.
