Much Untitled Land.

The department of agriculture esti-
mates that only q per cent of the till
able land of continental United States
is actually under cultivation. Accord
ing to this estimate, 60 per cent Of the
total area of continental United States,
or 1,14O,OOO,OOO acres, is tillable, or
capable of being brought under the
plow. This includes large areas not
yet cleared, but sure to be in the fu-
ture. An additional 10 per cent of the
whole, or 361, 100000 acres, is consid-
cred valuable for grazing or for fruits,
though not for cropping. According to
the last census, in 1910, the land area
in crops was 81, 100000 acres, about
~ per cent Of the tillable area, leaving
70 per cent still to be brought under
cultivation. This does not suggest any
immediate danger Of food scarcity.

ut has good chance, all food crops
considered, to produce the greatest
amount of human and animal food in

Professor C. P. Bull of the Univer'
sity of Minnesota farm school made
these statements.
Minnesota raised S4,O00,00Q bushels
of corn i'm 1916, and in 1913, the great
est corn year the state ever had, pro-
duced 100000 bushels.
Minnesota raised 16,800,000 bushels
of potatoes last year and a production
of 20,000,000 bushels in any year is a
good crop.
Professor Bull estimated the corn
acreage increase as rs per cent. The

he said, but the wheat acreage is
about the same.

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn
or callus so it lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter
wear shoes a size smaller If you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that a few drops Of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
q tender, aching corn, instantly re-
ueves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle Of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get small
bottle Of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.
