CORN TESTING
THIS WEEK
Test Of Seed Corn over the County
Begins Seturday-Co-operat
of Farmers De-
sired

The seed corn testing that is to be
conducted by the agricultural class Of
the high school will start Saturday at
the high school building
There are a number Of farmers
throughout the county who are no
doubt not planning to test their seed
corn. County Agent j. S. Glare. has
requested that those who do not in
tend to test, bring at least bushel Of
their corn to be tested so that In case
it graded low. test could be made OF
the balance of their seed. This Is a
good idea and is one that is apt to
save farmer trauble later
Last years corn that has been test
ed shows a very low grade so far and
Mr.. Clare has made it plain it would
be better to test small amount of all
corn. The seed corn situation in Iowa
this spring is serious and any cooper
alton that the farmers can give will do
much good. A small charge Of TWEEN
ty-five cents per bushel will be made
for testing, this money to go to defray
the expense Of testing.

Stop Itching Eczema

Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczema quickly by applying little zemo
furnished by any druggist for 35c. Extra
large bottle, $l.00. Healing begins the
moment zemo is applied. In short time
usually every trace of eczema, letter,
pimples, rash, blackheads and similar
skin diseases will be removed.
For clearing the skin and making It
vigorously healthy, always use zemo, the
penetrating, antiseptic liquid. 1t is not a
greasy salve and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable treat
ment for skin troubles of all kinds.
