The frequent shortages of seed corn

more serious as the Importance of the
crop in this area increases In 1903
the acreage of corn in the northern
tier of states-New England, New
York, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minneso-

Washington-was 6,716,152 acres.
Last year it was 11,121,O 900. II the in
dustry is to continue to grow, say spe-
cialists in the department, more at
tention must be paid to the seed sup

Varieties must be found or bred
which will make a rapid growth and

CRITICAL TIME FOR
A COLONY OF BEES
Owner Should See That There Is
Abundant Supply Of Honey
Feed Sugar Strip Warm.

(By WESLEY FOSTER, State Bee In
spector. Boulder, Colo)
Colonies of bees with good queens
are now breeding up rapidly, and con-
sequently are using large amounts of
stores. Often the best and strongest
colonies run short of honey first. The
spring of the year is the critical time
for colony of bees. The owner should
see to it that every colony has an
abundance of honey for its needs.
Combs of sealed honey may be taken
from colonies that can spare them, or
feeding Of sugar strip may be done.
The giving of combs of sealed honey
is recommended II there is little or no
disease in the apiary, otherwise, sugar
strip should be fed. Sugar strip
should be fed warm and otherwise half
or two-thirds water. See that the
sugar is thoroughly dissolved. Feed
ing should be done in the evening 80
the bees will have all the strip taken
up by morning.

TAKE SALTS TO FLUSH
KIDNEYS IF BACK HURTS
Says Too Much Meat Forms Uric Acid
Which Clogs the Kidneys and
lrritates the Bladder.

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clog
ged and need a flushing occasionally,
else we have backache and dull misery
in the kidney region, severe head
aches. rheumatic twinges, torpid liver,
acid stomach, sleeplessness and all
sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take q tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon Juice, COM
bined with lithia, and is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity. 1t also neu-
tralizes the acids in the urine SO 1t
no longer irritates, thus ending blad-
der disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes delightful effervescent lithia-

take now and then to keep their kid

plications.

Choice Seed Corn.

seed only from individuals which
show promise, in several years the hab-
its and characteristics can be changed
considerably, and perhaps a variety
which at first failed to mature may
be so changed that 1t becomes suit
able.
Even when variety has been thus
adapted to a locality, so that it will
mature under ordinary conditions,
there will come seasons 80 unfavora-
BILE that 1t will not mature. If only
one years seed supply is gathered
each year, all the work of adaptation
is lost. The proper way is to gather
enough from a good crop. to, supply
seed for two or three years hereafter.
Good seed will keep without depreci-
alton this long.
Go out into the cornfleld before the
first killing frost, gather a good sup
ply of the best ears to be found on
stalks growing in competition with
others; hang these ears up in some
place where they will be protected,
but at the same time have a good
chance to dry out quickly; when dry
enough to shell, do so, and put the
seed away where it will not be ex-
posed to too great changes in temper
ature and moisture. Any man can
follow the simple directions here CIV
en- and plant his fields every year with
good, vigorous growing seed which he
knows is adapted to his farm.
The matter Of seed supply is
case of avoiding trouble, rather than
trying to remedy the trouble after 1t
has arrived. If no seed Of the 1914
crop is available, the farmer is in bad
shape. He must purchase his seed,
and in doing this he is in grave dan
ger of obtaining either poor seed or
seed of late-maturing varieties.
Homegrown seed that has been
we'll cared for, even though 1t was
not thoroughly mature, is almost GER
tain to give better results than inn
ported seed. BY homegrown seed is
meant seed grown on the farm, or in
the same county, or where the same
general conditions affected the crop.
The point to be emphasized is that
the farmer in Minnesota, or North
Dakota, should not send for seed
grown in southern South Dakota or
Iowa. If this is done, the crop re-
sulting will almost certainly be inn
mature next fall when it is necessary
to harvest.
An exception to this may be, the
dry-land portion Of the more southern
states. The corn growers there are
confronted nearly every year with
drought. In order to grow corn e. all,
it is necessary to grow early-matur-
ing varictleg which will make" be-
fore the drought occurs. Some excel
lent crops were secured in 1915; but
in some instances good crops were Sc
cured from varieties which are not
early maturing and therefore not well
adapted for northern planting. Too
much care cannot be exercised in
learning the facts before purchasing
seed corn there. This seed will be
widely offered for sale this year.
There are certain localities, even in
the most northern states, where corn
did not mature sufficiently to provide
seed for 1916. 1t ia possible that the
