GOOD CORN CROP
VERY IMPORTANT
Scarcity Of Suitable Seed in
Many Producing States.
WARNING SENT TO FARMERS
Still Possible to Find Some Sound Ears
Suitable for Seed-Ready Market
for All That is Not Wanted
for Planting.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
A good crop Of corn cannot be
grown without good seed, yet I'm many
Of the principal compromising states
there Is scarcity Of suitable seed for
planting the 1913 crop. Unless every
corn grower saves, and saves carefully.
n good supply from which to select the
best ears for Planting, this scarcity will
not be averted. The seed-corn scarcity
will not take care of itself; the only
choice is between making sure now or
causing scarcity in the planting sea-
son.
A warningNi is being sent out by the
United States department of agricul-
ture to the farmers of number of
states for which serious scarcity of
seed corn for spring planting in 1918
has been noted. These states include,
In whole or part, New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, I'LL
nols. Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Ne
braska, North Dakota and South Da-
kota.
Not Too Late to Select Seed Ears.
Little corn of the 1916 crop is avail
able and adapted seed cannot be had
from other sections. In this emergency
the seed stocks committee of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
urges farmers not to overlook any pos
sible source Of supply. 1t points out
that on many farms in the states where
seed corn is scarce, 1t is still possible
to find some sound ears which should
be saved for seed. In some cases,
however, this sound corn is being fed
because the owners do not realize its
value nor the need for 1t. They have
been accustomed to planting much bet
ter corn and have not stopped to con.
slider that every bushel of seed corn

Department of Agriculture Issues
Appeal to Farmers for
More Food.
SECRETARY HOUSTON'S VIEWS
Gardeners and Truck Growers Should
Meet Local Demands-increase
Commercial Production Wher-
ever Possible.

Gardeners, fall in!
A call for more food from Americas
gardens. both the commercial and the
home plots, is contained in the de-
partment Of agriculture's agricultural
production program for 1918, recently
announced. This Is what the program
says to the gardeners:
Market gardens near large consum-
ing ccnters should be increased so as
to meet as nearly as possible the
needs OF the community and in order
TO obviate the necessity of transport
Ing such products from distant points.
1t is important to do all that Is pos
sible to relieve the strain upon trans
portation facilities.
The planting of home gardens, es-
pecially for family needs and for pre-
serving foods for future use, again
should be emphasized.
The commercial production of per-
ishables generally should he increased
above normal wherever 1t is reason
ably clear that transportation and mar
keting facilities will be favorable. =,
Last year the production of perish
ables Is estimated to have been 30 per
cent greater than normal. Notwith-
standing the large output, the market

IMPROVE SEED BY CLEANING

prepared by the United States Depart
meni of Agriculture.)
One of the best ways to utilize spare
time I'm winter before the spring rush
Of farm work begins Is to clean and
grade the small grains that are to be
used for seed.
Wheat, oats, barley and flax for
seeding can all be improved by run
ming the seed through the tanning
mill at least once to remove the weed
seeds, chafT, broken straws and light,
shrunken kernels. The cleaned grain
will run through the drill or other
seeding machinery more evenly and
thus insure more uniform stand than
can be obtained from uncleaDed grain,
Cleaning grain also eliminates most Of
the weak and diseased kernels, many
of which may not grow at all, ~or IL
they do grow are likely to produce
small, weak plants. Uniformly large,
plump kernels terminate more evenly,
produce stronger plants and yield more
than ungraded grain containing small.
weak kernels.
Cleaning the grain also removes n
large part of the weed seeds 1t con-
tains. The preparation Of the land for
seeding destroys many seeds that are
In the soil and thus helps to keep
weeds in check, but the value of this
/ work Is largely lost II foul seed Is
sown. Weed seeds sown with the grain
have the best of conditions for germi
nation and growth, and the plants pro-
duced from them compete strongly
with the grain plants. throughout the
season.
Although the seed may seem to be
of excellent quality 1t is well worth
while to run the grain through the
tanning mill at least once. This Is no
time to take any chances. The demand
for increased crop production necessi-
tates, among other things, that the
very best seed available be used In
sowing the 1918 crop.
Increases in yield of from two to
five bushels or more to the acre are
often obtained from sowing clean, large
seed, but a gain of even a bushel to
the acre will mean big wages for the
winter days spent in getting seed ready
for sowing.

ASKS 100000 TO BUY SEED.

The secretary Of agriculture has
asked congress for an appropriation

KEEP UP BIG POTATO CROP
ADVISE U. S. SPECIALISTS

The normal acreage Of Irish
and sweet potatoes should be
maintained In 1918 notwithstand-
ing the large crops in 1917, the
department of agriculture be-
lieves. This Is especially true
in view of the necessity of re-
Leasing more wheat for export.
Potatoes, both Irish and sweet,
are the most popular and most
generally used of the perishable
stable crops. The department,
through its extension and publ
cation activities, Is encouraging
their greater use, especially the
use of the Irish potato, as a par
tial substitute for wheat In
bread-making.
The yield per acre can be
made more certain by greater
attention to the selection Of dis
ease-free potatoes of good vari-
cites, by treatment of seed pota-
toes Immediately before plant
Ing, and by the use Of sprays to
prevent loss from blight.

Where Ego Breeds Are Kept.

Eggs, Of course, are produced wher-
ever chickens are kept, and by far the
greater part Of the egg crop comes
from the general farm, yet large so
called egg farms have been developed
with the main purpose Of producing
eggs for market. The largest Of these
egg farms and the greater number of
them are located near markets which
pay a premium for white eggs; and
for this reason, together with the fact
that eggs are primarily desired, the
breeds kept are those known as the
egg breeds, such as Leghorn, Cam
pine, Minorca and Ancona.

Save Sound Ears for Seed.
Under ordinary conditions, it pays
TO select seed corn in the field and TO
cure 1t carefully. but seed so selected
and cured Is not available for much Of
the corn acreage to be planted next
spring. 1t will be necessary, therefore.
very best seed that is available. Past
experience shows that it is better to
plant seed of an adapted variety, even
though 1t Is poor in termination, than
to plant much better seed Of an I'M
adapted variety. For this reason, the
seed stocks committee urges farmers to
pick over their corn and select the
sound ears for possible use as seed.
If more Is saved than is needed. there
will be ready market for 1t next
spring.
Guard Seed Corn From Damage.
This emergency seed should be sepa-
rated from the immature or moldy corn
Immediately, 20 prevent further dam
age to Its vitality. If II Is not already
dry 1t should be dried at once and kept
Mt as uniform n temperature as pos
sible. From six to ten kernels from
different parts of each ear should be
taken and tested for termination. The
ears which show all or nearly all dead
kernels should be discarded. The re-
naming ears should then be shelled
by hand and the grain from each ear
carefully examined, dlscardlng all
kernels In which the germs appear to
be dead. In this way, 1t should be pos
sIble for many farmers to get seed corn
which will terminate from 80 to 60
per cent. This reed can then be plant
ed thickIy enough next spring to pro-
duce n stand.
Those who are not familiar with
making single-ear termination tests of
corn can get information on how to
make the test from their county agent.

USES OF BUCKWHEAT

Buckwheat Is valuable as a
human food. 1t Is also an ex-
cellent feed for poultry. The
mlddlings remaining as by-pro-
duct after milling are. on ac-
count Of their high protein con-
tent, a valuable feed for dairy
cows. The production of buck
wheat will help to provide food
In many districts this year for
local consumption and thus help
to avoid the danger Of shortage
due to possible lack Of adequate
transportation facilities.

There are vast numbers of men and women who, immediately upon arising in the morning, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This is very excellent health measure. It is intended to flush the stomach, liver, kidneys and the thirty feet of intes- tines of the previous days waste, sour bile and indigestible material left over in the body which if not elim- mated every day, become food for the millions of bacteria which infest the bowels, the quick result is poisons and toxins which are then absorbed into the blood causing headache, bill ious attacks, foul breath, bad taste, colds, stomach trouble, kidney misery, sleeplessness, impure blood and all sorts of ailments.
 People who feel good one day and badly the next, but who simply can not get feeling right are urged to ob- tain quarter pound of linn estone phosphate at the drug store. This will cost very little but is sufficient to make anyone real crank on the subject of internal sanitation.
 Just as soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and freshening, so limestone phosphate and hot water act on the stomach liver, kidneys and bowels. It is vast ly more important to bathe on the inside than on the outside, because the skin pores do not absorb impuri- . ties into the blood. while the bowel pores do.
