select Seed Corn

In d genuine win-the-war seed corn
campaign September 10 to 20 South
Dakota farmers will obtain many,
many thousand bushels Of seed corn
as a means OF insurfng the planting
OF corn for the next two years.
This means one bushel Of corn for
every three acres to be planted to
corn.
According to the plan of this cam
paign Hand county's quota Of seed
corr to be selected during Seed Corn
time, September 10 to 20. is about
$1,000 bushels. This county has an
average acreage Of 10000 acres of
corn, and the amount OF seed corn
mentioned is enough to- plant this
acreage two years. The selection OF
this amount Of seed corn will insure
farmers against a repetition OF such
a seed shortage as occurred last
spring. After picking, ! the corn
should be protected against frost and
be thoroughly dried out. Select only
ears that are from good substantial
stocks of corn. Select more than you
need for two years and then sort
them after you have them ready to
hang up and dry.

County Agent.

But that is not the worst. When

Once q price gets up 1t seems utterly

a very very long way these days.
The housewife wants to know:
Why prices always go up and never

Why. when the government com
mands her to eat certain foods, II does
not take any visible steps to prevent
the vendors OF these foods from max

why the government can regulate

work and purposes of the state adj

disease himself may give a very sever
attack to others.
What hOuld be done by those who
catch the diseased
It is very important that every
person who becomes sick with influ-
enza should go home and go to bed
at once. This will help keep away
dangerous complications and will, at
the same time. keep the patient from
scattering the disease far and wide.
1t is highly desirable that no one be
allowed to sleep in the same room
with the patient. In fact, no one but
the nurse should be allowed in the
room.
If there is cough and sputum, or
running of the eyes and nose, care
should be taken that all discharges
are collected on bits of gauze or rag
or paper napkins and burned. If the
patient complains of fever and head
ache, he should be given water to
drink, and a light sponge. Only such
medicine should be given as is pre-
scribed by the doctor. 1t is foolish
to ask the druggist to prescribe and
may be dangerous to take the social
led safe, sure and harmless" rene
dies advertised by patent medicine
manufacturers.
If the patient is so situated that
he ear be attended only by someone
who must also look after others in
the family, it is advisable that such
attendant wear a wrapper, apron or
gown over the ordinary house clothes
while in the sick room, and slip this
off when leaving to look after others.
Nurses and attendants will do well
to guard against breathing in dan
geraus disease germs by wearing a
simple fold Of gauze or mask while
near the patient.
How can one guard against infIu-
enzal
Keep the body strong and able to
fight off disease germs. This can be
done by having a proper proportion
Of work, play and rest, by keeping
the body we'll clothed and by eating
sufficient, wholesome, and properly
selected food. In connection with
diet, it is we'll to remember that milk
is one of the best all-round foods OBJ
tainable for adults as well as chill
dren. So far as a disease like influ-
enza is concerned, health officers ev-
erywhere recognize the close rela-
tionship between its spread and over
crowded homes. While it is not always
possible, especially in times like the
present, to avoid such overcrowding,
people should consider the health dan
ger and make every effort to avoid
overcrowding.
Care should be taken to avoid inhal-
