The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retir-
ing: use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger

cations will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy,
iustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
iooki and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and never

PRODUCE INFERTILE EGGS
Save the Spoilage That Comes From Letting the Male
Bird Run With the Flock

Washington. d. c.. April 6-The
farmers Of the United States lose each
year large sums because of improper
methods of producing and handling
eggs. third at least of this loss is
easily preventable. 1t is due to the par
tial Matching Of fertile eggs.
The eggs laid by a hen may be
either fertile or infertile, depending on
whether or not the male bird hasbeen
allowed to run with the female. A
fertile egg is one in which the germ
has been fertilized by the male bird.
Except for this process of feftiliza-
tion, the male bird has no influence
upon the eggs which the hens lay.
Egg production is equally great in
ffocks from which roosters are eX-
cluded.
A fertile egg does not keep as we'll
as an infertile one because the fer
tilized germ responds more readily to
high temperatures than the unfertil-
lied one. 1t is impossible to hatch an
infertile egg or to cause a blood ring
to form in one. Such eggs are much
more likely to reach the table in good
condition and there is much less spoil

Advice For Handling Corn
Fields That Overflow
Is Given

Washington, d. c., April .-IT
the United Sttaes there are more
than ten million acres of good corr
land subject to overflow. The great.
er portion OF this yearly is planted
to corn. No other crop is better
adapted nor so generally grown OF
this land as corn. Twenty times as
many acres of corn are subject to de.
struction by floods as are planted in
the whole of New England. The
amount of land subject to overflow
but otherwise admirably suited to
corn, and the greater part of which
is yearly planted to corn, exceeds
the combined area of New Jersey
and Massachusetts.
When droughts cause corn on the
uplands to fail, the river bottom
lands usually supply good yields.
Fortunately only certain sections are
visited each year by spring and sum-
mer foods. Not knowing beforehand
what section will be flooded, it is
the patriotic duty of those farming
siver bottom lands'to have in readi-
ness suitable seed corn for planting
overfiowed lands as soon as the
foods subside. When the floods oc-
cur in the spring, the paintings
should be made with homegrown
seed as it usually produces better
than imported seer. When the floods
occur as late as June, 1t will be adj
Nisable to plant early-maturing va
rieites, seed of which is plentiful this
year and can be obtained from the
seed-co men and seed dealers OF
the Dakotas, Minnesota, Iowa, Wis
cosin, Michigan and New York.
Many Good Varieties
Where there are three months or
more of good growing weather re-
naming after the water leaves the
land, such varieties as Leaning. Iowa
Silver Mine, Silver ing, 100 Day
Bristol, 80 Day Dent, 80 Day Flint,
etc, should be planted. If less than
ninety days of corn-growing wealth
er remain, such varieties as Pride of
the North, Rustler's White Dent,
Minnesota No. %. U. S. Selection No.
1873, Northwestern Dent, North Da-
kota White Flint, ETC., should be
planted.
This seed is obtainable now and
will hold it's powers of termination
and productiveness for three or four
years. 1t is therefore advisable that
all who have crops liable 30 destruc-
ton by floods should obtain now and
maintain a suitable supply of seed
for prompt planting in case of high
water. Experience has shown that
if such seed is not on hand when
the floods come. that it is seldom
possible to make timely paintings.

II. for instance. there is only enough

bushels Of corn or. 175 pounds of cot
ton per acre. while there is enough
plant food elements Of other kinds to
produce enormously more, how then
can greater yields be obtained than the
nitrogen will permit?
The problem Of plant feeding is,
therefore, no simple one. It has en-

cations Of scientists, who have delved
deep into the mysteries of how plants
feed and what they feed upon. On the
basis Of the most exact knowledge thus
obtained, modern fertilizers have been
manufactured. Soil deficiencies. or

are designed to remove, and to call
into fullest action the natural re-

Since there is a limiting factor in
all soils, it Is worth while for each
farmer to undertake to remove that
limitation. Intelligent use Of fertiliz-
ers will accomplish it, II food elements

way can 1t be done than by the help
Of man. He must bring to the plant

this is the factor limiting production.

only have plenty of plant food, but
the soil must be properly drained of
excess water. It must be well supplied
with lime. and organic matter; its
moisture must be conserved, and
weeds killed through proper cultural
methods. These things man can pro-
vide. Therefore. If man is not the
limiting factor" and he looks after
the plant food requirements, the great
