plenty Of dirt around your stalk, This
should be from June 10th to Goth, un.
less the season Is very late, and corn
should be hardly punching for tassel.
Lay by early, More corn Ia ruined
by late plowihg than by lack OF plow-
ing. This Is when the ear IL hurt,
1.-THE stalks thus raised are very
small, and do not require anything
like the moisture even in proportion
to size than Is necessary for large,
ssppy stalks. They may, therefore, be
left thicker In the row. Large stalks
can not make large yields except with
extremely favorable seasons, for they
cannot stand lack OF moisture. Corn
raised by this method should not be
over seven feet high, and the ear
should be near the ground"
For Piedmont Section,
For the Piedmont section the VIII.
hanson Plan can not be clcsely fol.
lowed but must be modified. Half OF
the fertilizer should be applied before
planting. The other half should be
applied not later than when corn is
knee high. The nitrate Of soda should
then DO applied when the corn Is waist
high. !.
Raise Corn As War Measure !
In response to the call for food stip-
plies In view Of war conditions, the
Southern farmer should plant as large
crop OF corn as possible He should
fertilise literally and cultivate thor.
oughly SO that maximum crops may
be produced. II 10 recommended that
frcm 500 to 800 pounds cf fertilizer be
applied on Piedmont soils and from

may be a shortage of some plant food
element. II So, this should be sup.

Your Attention Please:
Red Cross ffieials are taking
pains to nuke it clear to volunteers
that Red Cross service does not
mean service away from home.
The doctors and nurses who COM
prise the professional organization
OF the red cross are detailed for
service with the fighting forces
and are subject to the military
laws and discipline. But the
civilian volunteers, men and
woman, whom the Red Cross needs
in great numbers now, remain at
their homes taking charge Of
collection and transportation Of
great quantities of bandages and
garments by home needlework.
Neither membership in the Red
Gross nor enrolment in it's
auxiliary services, places any
compulsion upon the volunteer Of
any kind whatsoever.
With dozens of Red Cross
membership campaigns in progres s
in as many states and cities and
thousands of men and woman Of
feiing their services for the war
work of the Reb Gross, emphasis
has been placed upon the i'm.
portance of this sort of volunteer
service by President Woodrow
Wilson, who also serves as
President of the American Red
Gross.
Every man and woman who
remains at home can be Of service
In a letter which the severlary

BIDSORDERED
FOR new Paving

Although James T. Taylor. engi-
neer made a strong appeal before the
board OF supervisors for a reduction
in the concrete base for the streets
in the Laimi, Park and Puiwa district
from five to four inches, his plea fell
OF deaf ears and following con
siderable argument between Taylor
and Supervisor Arnold, the board
adopted the recommendation OF
George Collins, city and county engt
neer, that five inches were necessary
because of the condition OF the soil
in that district.
Taylor contended that four inches
would be sufficient, declaring that the
Subsoil was as good as any on the
island. Judge c. F. Clemens, another
resident of the district said he
thought the base should be five
inches. When Taylor found that the
board would not reduce the thickness
of the base he tried to have it re
placed with an asphalt macadam pave
ment but in this he also failed.
Collins new estimate Of the cost Of
the work is 5,779.04, and the board
ordered that bids be called for the
work.

from the T. F. Farm dairy may be
removed, the board Of agriculture and
forestry will consult members Of the
land board as soon as possible. This
dairy is the one In which an outbreak
of anthrax occurred several weeks
ago.
The land in question lies between
Manoa and Palolo valleys in the Waa-
hill district, and the matter of moving
the remainder Of the herd TO the Sc
lected place will probably be decided
definitely tomorrow at a meeting OF
the board

in the last 10 days.
Hawaii residents are said to be
considerably agitated over the posi-
bility of an outbreak there, but none
has so far occurred. No further re-
port was received today by the agri-
culture board from Maui

Ordinary Nuxatsd Iron viii Make Delicate.
Nervous, Rundown People 200 per cent
Stronger In Two Weeks Time.
In Many Cases
NEW YORK, N. Y.-Most people foolishly
seem to think they are going to get renewed
health and strength from some stimulating
medicine, secret nostrum or narcotic drug,
said DR.. Sauer, Q well known specialist who
has studied widely both in this country and
Europe, when, as a matter Of fact, real and
true strength can only come from the
food you eat But people often fail to get
the strength out Of their food because they
haven't enough iron In their blood to enable
It 20 change food into living matter. From
their weakened, nervous condition they know
something Ii wrong, but they can't tell what,
50 they generally commence doctoring for
stomach, liver or kidney trouble or symptoms
OF some other aflment caused BY the lack Of
iron in the blood. This thing may 60 on for
years, while the patient suffers untold agony.
II you are not strong or well, you owe It to
yourself to make the following test. See how
long you can work or how far you can walk
without becoming tired. Merit take two Eve
grain tablets Of ordinary nuxated iron three
times per day after meals for two weeks.
Then test your stre7gth again and see for
yourself how much you have gained. I have
seen dozens Of nervous, rundown people who
were ailing all tho while, double and even
triple their strength and endurance and en-
tirely get rid Of all symptoms Of dyspepsia,
liver and other troubles in from ten to four
