Hill Selection will Raise
Potato Yield.

Continued selection of potatoes
from the highest.yielding hills
through several years will result
in increasing the productivity of
a variety. Yield, form and quail
ity of the tubers can be noted at
digging time.
By selecting seed from the
highest yielding hills at digging
time rather than by the usual
method without regard to pro-
ductivity, potato yields were in
creased nine per cent in test
made at the Ohio Agricultural
Experiment Station. A differ
ence Of 55 per cent was found in
the crop from seed chosen from
the highest yielding and that
from the lowest-yielding hills.
When the best seed from the
hill-selected potatoes was planted
the second year, it yielded 26 per
cent more than seed chosen in
the ordinary way. The product
Of the highest-yielding hills was
228 Fer cent more than that from
the hills of lowest yield two years
previous.
High-yielding hills grown un-
der average fertility and moist
ure conditions of the soil and in
a full stand of plants can be cho-
sen when the cropis dug. Form
and freedom from disease as well
as yield must also be taken into
account in the choice of seed po-
tatoes.
Single tests may be misleading.
A hill may yield unusually well
because of it's environment and
not because of inherent tenden-
cies. By continuing the selec-
tion several years and discarding
inferior hills, those that owe their
superiority TO favorable environ
ment will be weedeA out and on
ly the offspring from productive
hills will remain.

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
OropSY,

SFSJ'
Dropsy is not a disease, but a
symptom. ANY disorder that
causes the blood to become i'm
poverished and watery and at
the same time to flow through
the veins with increased pressure
can cause drOpSy.. For that rea-
son it is often associated with
serious forms Of heart or kidney
disease. When drOpsy is the re-
suit of Bright's disease it is be-
. cause the kidneys are no longer
, able to extract water and poison
|, GUS matters from the blood.
, Dropsy that arises from heart
, troubles Is worse at night and
!, after eXertiOn. Exactly the con
} trary is true of the dropsy caus-
. ed by kidney trouble. which is
; more marked in the morning.
, Sometimes the patient suffers
from both heart and kidney trou-
, Bile, in which case his condition
Is very grave, and the drOpSy
may become excessive Many
persons who suffer from general
weakness. but have no actual
disease. find that their feet and
legs swell toward night. but that
symptom disappears as the de-
bility passes away Such cases
should be treated with tOnics
and rest and plenty of fresh air

FRANCE SOUNDS WARNING
Says Drink Is as Much the Enemy OF
France as Is GERMANY.
"DRINK is AS MUCH YOUR
ENEMY AS GERMANY.

"Since 1870 it has cost France in
men and money much more than the
present war.
Drinkers age quickly. They lose
half their normal life, and fall easy
victims to many infrmities and i'll
neSSeS.
"The seductive drinks of your par
ents reappear in their offsprings as
great hereditary evils. France owes
30 alcohol great many mad men
and women and consumptives, and
most of her criminals.
Drink decreases by two-thirds our
national production; it raises the cost
Of living and increases poverty.
"In imitation of the criminal
Kaiser, drink decimates and ruins
france, to the great delight Of Ger
many.
Mothers, young men, young girls,
wives! Up and act against drink in
memory of those who have gloriously
died or suffered wounds for the Faith
crland! You will thus accomplish q
mission as great as that of our heroic
soldiers"

The work of organizing the coun-
ties of Ohio for the dry campaign is
progressing rapidly. All over the
state the wheels will be fully in mo-
tion before the close of April and
petitions to initiate the dry amend
ment will, no doubt, be in circulation
early in May. In many of the coun-
ties not only is the organization fully
completed, but compaign managers
are on the job and laying their plans
for the prosecution of a vigorous cam
paign.
The drys are greatly encouraged by
reason of the numerous agencies
which stand ready to support the Pro-
hibition amendment. There is a par
ticularly friendly feeling on the part
of employees as well as workingmen.
Capital and labor both look upon the
liquor traffic as an unnecessary waste
and responsible for an economic loss
so great that it must not be permit
ted to continue.
Reports from states where Prohi-
bition is in operation are so favorable
to the new order of things that it is
no longer an experiment and the dire
predictions of the vets cause no
alarm. The drys assert the cam
paign starts out with the best pos
sible prospects of victory in Novem-
Der.

War WILL HELP
MAKE OHIO DRY
Is Belief Of The State Dry
Managers.
LIQUOR TRAFFIC A LIABILITY

European Nations Quick to Discover
That Drink Was Their Greatest
Handicap and This Country Likely
to Have Same Experience-0rys
Pushing Work of Organizing the
State For the Campaign.
Columbus, O.-Members of the
Campaign Committee of the Ohio Dry
Federation having in charge the or
ganization of the state for the Pro-
hibition amendment, believe that the
war with Germany will mean addi-
tional thousands of dry votes this
year. They think the people will
quickly find out that the liquor traffic
will be tremendous liability and a
hlndrance to the preparedness so nee
essary for vigorous prosecution Of
the war.
The European nations were not
slow in discovering that the liquor
traffic was their greatest handicap
and that it prevented speedy war
preparations. The struggle was not
very old until Russia became a pro-
hibitiOn country and all the nations
of the world agree that action was
Russia's salvation at the front and
among the people at home.
Severe restrictions amounting to
prohibition in many instances were
adopted by the other warning nations.
1t was Lloyd George who asserted
that drink, not Germany, was Eng
lands greatest foe and the longer the
war continues the stronger is Prohi-
bition sentiment throughout Great
Britain.
The Ohio Dry campaign managers
are of the opinion that attention will
be more sharply directed to the lack
of efficiency caused by drink and that
voters will realize they cannot afford
to tolerate any traffic or institution
which units young men for being at
their best in the service of their
country.
