Des Moines, Jan. 13.-Only IA per
cent Of the Iowa corn crop Of 1915 is fit
for seed, according to estimates re-
Gently made by the government. In a
normal season 81 per cent of the crop
can safely be used for seed. Lack Of
sufficient maturity is given as the
reason.
The average for the ten states in the
corn belt shows 20 per cent of the
corn fit for seed while the average for
the entire crop turnout the country is
SO per cent.
There was loss in yield in Iowa
amounting to 81 per cent because Of
frost damage whereas in normal year
the loss is only per cent. The loss
to quality was IS per cent as COM
pared to per cent in the usual year.
These figures are the result of a
special investigation conducted by the
bureau Of crop estimates of the gov
eminent. Concerning the reports on
the corn fit for seed the governments
report says:
THE ideas governing the reporters
in their statements of the percentage
fit for seed were not uniform Some
apparently had in mind careful selec-
ton of high-grade corn; others the
percentage Of the total CROP that had
not been damaged by frost to such a
degree as to destroy the terminating
power of the seed. The figures regard
ing percentages fit for seed therefore
must be taken as expressing largely
the degree of loss from immaturity and
frost damage in corn otherwise suitable

CAUSED BY THIN BLOOD

Many people think they have kidney trouble because they have backache but more backache is caused by overstrained and undernourished muscles than by anything else. In such cases the blood needs building up.
 Many rheumatic people suffer pains that could be avoided by building up the blood When rheumatism is associated with thin blood the rheumatism cannot be cured to stay cured until the blood is built up.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills build up the blood and sufferers from backache would do well to try this treatment before giving way to worry over fancied organic dis ease. Rest and the tonic treatment with Dr. Williams Pink Pills will correct most forms of backache, even rheumatic.
 For people who work too hard or dance too much and sleep too little, better habits and course of treatment with Dr. Will liams' Pink Pills are all that is needed to drive away the pains and aches that are warnings of coming breakdown.
