Sticking 20 Adaptsd Crops

BY the experience of farmers and
by results of experiments at the
Colorado Experiment Station, it is
now definitely known which of the
prevailing types of grains and other
crops are best adapted for the heavy
crop producing communities Of Colo
RADIO. One OF the most certain ways
OF increasing income, and also meet
ing the national emergency for grest
er food production. is to plant only
the best adapted varieties of the sew
eral crops. This is not the time for
growers to experiment no new crops.
1t is the time to grow those which
will produce the most money and
the most food-those which are best
adapted. The old, tried crops are
better able to stand soil and clima-
tic conditions than new or novelty
crops. Stick to the tried and true

The kidneys often cry for help.

When they fail the blood be

There can be no health where
there is poisoned blood.
Backache is one of the frequent
indications of kidney trouble.

Herbert Hoover, United States food
administrator. has put one over on
James A. Reed, United States senator

there IS more than one way of reach

Senator Reed is chairman of the COM
mtttee on manufactures, to which was
Entrusted the Senate's investigation of
the sugar shortage. General opposition
to all things war-like by the Missouri
senator has embraced antagonism TO the
food administration. and especially to
the food administrator. Mr.. Hoover was
not given a chance 10 explain the sugar
scarcity when the committee ad-
journed for the Christmas holidays with
Mr.. Hoovers story still untold.
Denied an oral hearing, Mr.. Hoover at
the last minute before adjournment sub
mitted a written statement. But Chair
man Reeds committee refused to re-
ceiye the statement as a part Of the
| record of the hearing. Nor was It given
to the. public through the press or other
wise.
Mr.. Hoover then submitted to the
President the statement In explanation
and justification of his official conduct
which the Reed committee had refused
