SAVE SEED CORN
FROM THE STALK

Save seed corn from the stalk be-
fore the first frost and thus insure
a good start for the 1919 crop.
With the boys fighting for US over
there, it is up to US to take every
precaution in order to produce bum
per crops in 1919, the deciding year
of the war.
Fulton county's quota for seed corn
is about 5000 bushels. If every
bushel was picked from the stalk be-
fore cutting, hung where it would dry
quickly, and stored where it would De
protected from hard freezes, it would
mean an increase of several thousand
bushels of corn to Fulton county next
year.
There is no reason why the 5000
bushels of seed corn in Fulton county
can not be picked and hung within
the next ten days or two weeks; IN
fact, the only reason why it will not
be done is a difference Of opinion as
to the value of corn picked from the
stalk compared with that picked la
ter.
Of course, no one will deny but that
it is easier to pick the nice ears from
the wagon at husking time, but why
not take the results of three years
experiments at the Ohio Experiment
station to decide the matter. Those
experiments showed that corn picked
from the stalk before corn cutting
when given exactly the same treat
ment as corn picked from the wagon
at husking time yielded 2.36 bushels
more per acre. That increase is worth
having, so let everyone get in the
game, drop all other farm work. fo.
one day before September Is, and
pick our seed corn from the stalk.

RARY SAVING IN uINE,

"Ohio's best baby-saving record to
date was marked up in June, the
State Department of Health has an
nounced. In that month, the third
month of the "Children's Year." as
the nationwide campaign to reduce
infant mortality is called, 802 chill
dren under five years of age died in
the state. This total is ATT less than
the average monthly death total of
1,279 in 1916, the year upon which
quotas for baby-saving are based. The
June saving exceeds by 101 the quota
| assigned as the states monthly saw
ing.
The health department cautioned
| against too great self-satisfactior
over this result, pointing out that
June baby deaths are normally the
lowest of the year, inasmuch as pneu
monia prevalence has dropped of
and the summer rise in mortality d115
to intestinal disorders has not yet
started.
The total saving for the first three
months of Children's Year - April
May and June-is 664, or 100 mort
than half the three months quota D
1.128. Deaths of babies in the three
months were as follows: April, L,
257; May, Lila; June, 802.
A table issued by the health de
partment giving June baby-saving re
suits by counties, shows that Fultol
county saved one, it's quota in tina
month. The county figures are a
follows: Deaths in June, 8; averag,
deaths per month in 1916, 4; babie
saved in June, 1; quota to be savet
each month in 1918, 1.
In all, 65 counties saved their quo
tas in June; nine registered losses a
compared with the average month o
1916, and IA failed to save their quo
tas, but at the same time had no loss
A conspicuous case of improvement
was that in Mahoning county, whicl
lost three babies in May, and save
26, or five more than its quota, il
June. Cuyahoga county exceeded it
quota by 80 in June, Lucas by Il
Montgomery by nine, and Summit b
three; while Franklin county exactl
equaled its quota. Belmont county
with quota of only 10, saved "a ba
bies.

for its theme-the thought that is in
all our hearts.
''That thought is that we are sus-
tanning not a government, but the
very principle of our nations life.
The morale of the war is in the
thoughts and aspirations and hopes of
the women as well as of the men.
They stand at the very center of every
issue involved, as the men do, and in
that sense the war is theirs. 1t is a
war for what is humane and right
They can put all that is best of them
into the struggle. And they are doing
so. l deeply admire them and am
proud to stand with them"
The wife of the president has every
reason to be proud of the women for
their work in the war-and she will
have added cause for pride after the
drive for the fourth Liberty loan. For
the women of the nation, the women
of the fourth district in particular, are
planning to 'put all that is best of
them into the struggle"
The drive begins September % and
ends October 10.

$4,000 PER DAY

County Agent R. A. Cave has sent
out the following circular letter TO
the farmers of Fulton county. 1t
seems to US to contain matter Of
prime Importance and is certainly
worthy of careful attention and
consideration:
Wauseon, Ohio, Sept. %, 1918.
Dear Sir:
Last fall an early killing frost pre-
vented corn from maturing properly.
Very hard freezes early in December
spoiled for seed purposes all corn in
Fulton county which had not been
thoroughly dried in some way or
stored where it was protected from
hard freezing.
The seed corn situation was so Sc
rious last spring that hundreds of
| bushels were brought in to Fulton
county from other sections OF the
country, and extremely high prices
were paid for seed corn that would
grow.
A few farmers selected their seed
corn early, hung 1t where it would
dry, and then put it in the house or
cellar by the furnace. Those men had
1 Ii
! Now, we both know that practically
every farmer could have had good
seed corn last spring if he had taken
time to have picked it early and then
taken good care of it. None of US
want such a situation in regard to
seed corn to occur again in Fulton
county. In order to prevent it we
must all cooperate and, not only save
twice as much seed corn as we need
ourselves, but try and get everyone
of our neighbors to do the same.
In three years experiments at the
l Ohio Experiment station, seed corn
picked from the stalk before corn cut
ting yielded over two bushels more
per acre than that saved from the
wagon at husking time.
| know it takes time when you are
so very busy, and perhaps you think
YOU can't afford to spend the time.
You should, however, be able to pick
five bushels and hang it up in one
day. Five bushels will plant abodt
80 acres. If you get two bushels
more per acre, you have gained SO
bushels of corn by one days work,
or about $96 at present prices for
corn. Nearly everyone would think
they could afford to spend the time
1t is not advisable to save seed
from the imported corn for your en-
tire 1919 crop, no matter how well il
did this year. You had much better
get the privilege of picking youl
seed corn from the field of a neigh
Dor who has native corn.
No one will be short of good seeC
corn next spring if everyone observes
the following simple rules:
1. About September 1 to 10, picl
from strong, thrifty, medium sizet
stalks, twice as many early maturing
well developed ears as you need fol
seed.
2. Hang them in a driveway o
other we'll ventilated place until thor
oughly dry.
8. Store them before hard freezing
weather in a dry place where the.
will be protected from extremely Low
temperatures.
a. Next spring test to 6 kernel
from each ear and discard all ear
that do not show strong germirNtion
1t is a profitable, patriotic duty t
save seed corn early this fall an
thus help win the war.
Yours for a bumper 1919 crop,
R. A. CAVE,
County Agent.

Quit Laxafiyes;
Purges; Try Mr.
Mr. Tonight = TOnOTcW Feel Right

1t is a mistake to continually dose
yourself with so-called laxative pills,
calomel, oil, purges and cathartics
and force bowel action. 1t weakenS
the bowels and liver and makes con-
slant dosing necessary.
Why don't you begin right today to
overcome your constipation and get
your system in such shape that daily
purging will be unnecessary? You
can do so if you get a 25c box of
Natures Remedy (NR Tablets) and
take one each night for a week or so.
Mr. Tablets do much more than
merely cause pleasant easy bowel ac-
tion. This medicine acts upon the
digestive as well as eliminative organs
promotes good digestion, causes the
body to get the nourishment from all
the food you eat, gives you a good,
hearty appetite, strengthens the liver,
overcomes biliousness, regulates kidney
and bowel action and gives the whole
body a thorough cleaning out. This
accomplished you will not have to take
medicine every day. An occasional Mr.
tablet will keep your body in condi-
ton and you can always feel your best.
Try Natures Remedy (NR Tablets)
and prove this. 1t is the best bowel
medicine that you can use and costs
only 25c per box, containing enough to
last twenty-five days. Natures REM
edy (NR Tablets) is sold, guaranteed
and recommended by your druggist.

Patriots Will Register. Others MUST
OUR WORTHY SONS

WIN w SONO
Every day some of the newspapers
tell OF some one or another of the
Yanks having been awarded the cross
of war for conspicuous bravery in a.
tion. Every day these same de-
spatches carry the story of some in
trepld charge against the enemy
trenches, the storming of some ma
chine gun nest, the taking of another
town or two in desperate hand to
hand fighting. And our hearts swell
with pride that it is so.
Equally appreciative of their Prov
ess are the allied leaders. "You have
shown yourselves to be worthy sons
of your great country and have
gained the admiration of your broth
ers in arms" declared General Man
gin the other day in an official order
thanking the Yanks for their part in
the last great thrust against the
Huns.
General Mangin voiced the senti-
ments of the entire membership of
the allied general staff, for the Yanks
have made good with a vengeance.
We are wholly justified in being
proud of them. We can look the whole
world IN the eye, knowing they rank
with the finest. We can Justly feel
again that traditions of American
arms have been upheld; that in the
eyes of the world America no longer
stands accused of pacifism at the cost
of honor: of meek submission to the
ruthless arrogance of any people
drunk with power.
Once more we may hold up our
heads, square our shoulders, and in-
innate to the world at large that it's
dangerous pastime to tread upon
the tail of our coat.
Thanks to the khaki clad Yanks,
And shortly we are to have an op-
portunity to prove just how much we
value our new-found standing in the
eyes of the world To repay. indi
rectly, these restorers of our national
self-respect.
For the Fourth Liberty Loan is
very close at hand
Make your tribute to their bravery
substantial one.
Begin early to prepare for this.
Every promise of Read & Wager's
about Mi-o-na stomach tablets is
fulfilled.

DO VAST BORROWINGS
OF u. S. WORRY YOU?
Think of Opportunities For In
Vestment Which the War
Loans Offer

The vast borrowings of the govern
ment made necessary by the war have
startled a good many patriotic but
short-thinking people. Involuntary
perhaps. they feel that an exacting de-
mand Is being made on everybody and
they grow uneasy and restless.
Private and public expenditures are
being curbed right and left so that the
government may have more and more
money.
But the money is staying right here
in this country. And the great gov
ernment war issues afford excellent in
vestment opportunities to the business
man. He can loan his capital TO the
government at AZ per cent interest, q
rate which after the war will make 8
security of such safety gilt-edged, and
he can get his capital back at time
when its purchasing power will be
greatly increased.
"No doubt these factors viii be ap.
preciated in time and the bonds will
ultimately find their proper market
levels" says the Wall Street Journal
That financial journal goes on to say
that the under-par prices quoted dur
ing the summer on some Of the issues
reflect only a temporary condition. It
says further that every effort is being
made and will be made by the Secre.
tary Of the Treasury to see that all
legislation which has to do with money
will work out to the benefit of the
bond holder.

Bank System Takes
On Strength For
Liberty Loan Drive

Speaking of growing things, the
Federal Reserve Banking System Of
the Fourth District has had a very
healthy growth this summer Since
the first of July there have been added
to the system eighteen state banks,
all of them Ohio institutions.
The total resources of these
eighteen banks adds $41,231, 900 to the
total resources of the system, which
are thus raised to $494,661 ,000
Applications are pending from eight
other state banks. Each bank joining
the system strengthens the organiza-
ton to which is entrusted the great
task of selling Liberty Bonds. And
every ounce of strength is needed for
the successive bond issues become
heavier and heavier. D..
