Corn One Year in Four Shows an
Increase in Wheat Yield in This
State.

Corn M year followed by wheat
three years has given 81 bushels Of
wheat while four years Of continuous
wheat gave hut 1884 bushels Of
wheat. These are the results of trials
extending over is years at the North
Dakota experiment station. This
would indicate that il corn were
grown on one-fourth Of the area of
grain farms and rotated with the
grain crops that more grain would be
produced and whatever corn was rails
ed would be just that much extra.
Corn Is doing better in North Da-
kota than many realize. In 1916 corn
in North Dakota averaged as 10
bushels per acre, while the average
for the United States was but "a ia
bushels and the acreage was over half
a million acres and that in spite of the
set back that corn received in 1918.
Corn is OF great economic import
ance. AS mentioned above it improves
the land for the crop that follows.
and 1t Is the crop most relished bv
stock. Corn is as a rule fed on the
larm which means hat less fertility
Is sold than In the case OF grain. It
ALSO results IN manure being pro-
duced to go back to the land.
Aoo pVCIl lHc great OlONaar
crop but its continuous growth USUALLY
leads to failure. Corn has been The
crop that has been brought in to MT
farming on its feet. The corn shonId
pc introduced before the %continuons
grain growing has been kept up too
long. The North Dakota farmer 10
doing this. In some sections Of Mins
nesota the continuous grain erow,nv
was kept up 80 long that whole COM
mun!ties were bankrupt. Corn and
COWS were then introduced. To-day
tf"se very sections are amonr 10
most prosperous in the union.
The corn crop can be made 70 e,,ro
better returns per acre than the er.in
crops. The first thing necessary !.
the use Of home grown seed Corn ava -
1t should be carefully selected eanh

should be to cur mature corn E,.an

ut is to my very great regret tndt
the German troops find themselves
compelled to cross the Belgian from

SOME GOOD ADVICE
Strengthened by keokuk Experience.

Kidney disease is too dangerous to
neglect. At the first sign of back
ache, headache, dizziness or urinary
disorders, you should give the weak
ened kidneys prompt attention. Eat
little meat, take things easier and
use a reliable kidney tonic. There's
no other kidney medicine so well
recommended as Doan's Kidney Pills.
Keokuk people rely on them. Here's
one Of the many statements from
|Keokuk people.
Mrs. j. P, Brink, 80 Washington
St., says: 81 have used Doan's Kid
ney Pills and l can say that from the
good results l received no one can
make a mistake in giving them a
trial. Doans' Kidney Pills took away
the backache and regulated my kid
neys."
Price e0c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mrs. Brink had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

Humboldt and Dakota City at War.
UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
DAKOTA CITY, Iowa, Dec. "a
The war has started all over again.
Humboldt and Dakota City have
renewed hostilities. Humboldt citi-
zens argue that the date line on this
item should be that of their town,
while Dakota City aggregations a y
it's all right as it stands, so take
your choice.
The death of Frank Gotch brought
about renewed hostilities. Dakota
City is the county seat of Humboldt
county. Humboldt admits this, but
doesn't see why. When Hum boldt
puts down a new cement walk, Da.
kota City refers to it as a board walk
and vice versa.
While GotCh was champion of the
world, Humboldt's fame was flashed
to all n of the United States
and even to Europe. Dakota City
humbly submitted while Gotch was
! alive and famous. But since deatt
pinned the champions shoulders tc
the maxwell, that's different again
Dakota City awakened and an
nounced the golden age had passed
for Humboldt.

TEN THOUSAND
ARE TO STRIKE
Men Engaged In Ship Building are
Not 70 Go Out With Others
Of Iron Trades
Council.

limited Press Leased Wire Service
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 24.-Ten
thousand workmen of four crafts IN
the Iron Trades council, including
men not engaged in building ships
for the government will go on strike
in San Francisco bay ship yards TO-
day, It was announced by Iron Trades
council officials. The men will re-
main on strike until the ten percent
wage increase granted by the Elmer
gency Fleet corporation is given.
Members Of the California Metal
Trades association announced that
the ten percent increase-which
means ten percent more than the
scale fixed by the federal ship build.
Ing wage adjustment board-would
not be granted. This increase was
given by the Emergency Fleet cor
poration, said association officials.
after a meeting in Washington at
which the association was not repre-
scented.
l. w. Burton, president of the Iron
Trades council, received a message
from Chas. N. Piez, of the emergency
board. saying:
"Stoppage of war work does the
work Of a public enemy"
In a reply Burton issued a state
ment declaring Piez is misinformed
if be thinks the strike will stop war
work, as men engaged in war work
are specifically excepted from strik-
