Will Virginia Lose Twenty
Million Dollars this Year?
Blacksburg, Va, Feb. n, 1918

Blacksburg, Va, Feb. ~, 1918
Careful tests show that at least
fifty per cent of the corn thai has
been saved for planting by farmers
in the Valley, Piedmont and South-
west sections OF the State is unfit for
seed. Tests show that this is also
true as far east and south rs Bruins
wick County. Because Of an adverse
season, followed by early frosts and
hard freeze early in the fall, much
OF the corn failed to mature suf1ci-
emily to make good seed, and the
planting of corn that has not been
tested for termination could easily
mean an actual money loss to Vir.
ginia farmers OF twenty million dol
lars.
The director of the extension di-
vision. Virginia Polytechnic Institute,
has had the county farm demonstra-
ton agents make careful tests OF the
corn that some of their farmers are
saving to plant and tests have also
been made by individual farmers,
pupils In the school and others. Re
ports received at the central Office of
the extension division on these tests
show that the situation as to seed
corn is extremely alarming and war
rants putting on an immediate camp
align for testing seed corn. The seed
corn situation has not been as serious
in twenty years, and Virginia can
less afford to risk the planting OF
poor seed corn this year than ever
before. Raising a poor crop will in-
volve not only money loss, but will
complicate the food and labor short
age.
Good seed corn can be assured any
farmer if he will make the proper
effort. Simple directions for testing
seed corn to determine its germina-
ton qualities can be had by add, ess-
Ing the director of the extension di-
vision, Blacksburg, and the farm
demonstration egents IN the various
counties will lend every assistance
possible. The materials required for
the tests are easily available to any
one without cost. No farmer should
buy, sell or plant, INFESTED SEED.

GETS HELP WITH DRECO

The world is full of half sick and
ailing people who. by means of owe,

overeatine and being on nerve ten

and ambitionless-they lack vitality,
take cold easily, their tongues are
coated and they have that general
on't-give-a hang feeling. It Is for
just these kind OF folks that Dreco,
the new herb medicine. has been com.
pounded, and hundreds of them are
reporting wonderful benefits after the
very first bottle. Here is the case of
Mrs. George Clarke. the prominent
and highly respected resident of
Middletown, Va. in the beautiful
Shenandoah Valley. In q signed
statement for publication she says:
II have suffered for eight long
years from gastritis, kidney and liver
trouble, headaches and constipation.
Pain and distress made my system
run down and l was greatly inconve-
nieneed by coated tongue, foul breath
and bad taste in my mouth.

cines and never found anything to
reach my case until found Dreco.
II saw in the paper where some Of
my friends had taken Oreco and got
ten we'll SO decided to try it also, and
now, since taking only two bottles |
