The back of my head hurt me a great

head high on the pillow. Once a
month l would have a great deal of
backache. Then l would suffer from
dizziness, which would be so bad |
could hardly sit up and would have a
very queer feeling in my head. The
neighbors all advised me to have a
doctor, but had heard a great deal of
Cardui and decided 70 take that /
swelled a great deal too. When that
first began on me would want to
stretch and when would stretch, the
pain would run to my hips and shout
ders.
But began to take Cardui, and be-
fore I had taken a half bottle began
to feel better and the swelling began
to go down. The pain began to din1in-

admitted that the boys pulled off a
big "stunt" by growing 100 bushels
of corn to the acre.
That's all right on one acre." some
of them have said, "but it can't be
done on larger scale"
The plan for the club contests is
as follows, with cash prizes ranging
from 50 to $25, the money to be obtain
ed from the sale at auction OF the
contest corn. the surplus, if any, to
be pro rated among all contestants,
and if there should be deficit, the
money in hand to be pro rated &C
cording to the scale of prizes:
Twenty or more men to grow five
acres each of some pure-bred seed
corn.
Corn not to be grown closer than
GO rods to any other corn.
Each grower to furnish record of
date of planting. soil, cultivation, fer
tilization, and yield.
Each grower to contest for county
premiums.
bushels of field selected seed corn
and place at disposal of contest COM
mittee.
Each grower to select best single
ear and best ten ears and place same
at disposal of contest committee.
Contest corn to be placed in uni
form bushel crates and displayed in
the contest on date named by the dis
trict and county demonstration
agents,> together with best ten ears
and best single ear.
Corn to be carefully judged by dis
interested experts and first, second,
third. fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh
premiums awarded on the five-b ushel
displays. Also first, second, and third
premiums awarded on best bushel,
best ten ears, and best single ear, re-
spectively
