Al ,500,0OO Acres of Wheat
Should Be SoWn This Fall
For 1919 Liberty Harvest

A great liberty wheat harvest in
1919 is asked of American farmers in
a national growing program issued by
Secretary Houston after full consid-
GRAFTON of the increasing needs for
this essential food at home and in the
allied nations.
Not less than 45,00O,OO0 acres of win
ter wheat is called for in this falls
sowing and Secretary Houston sug-
gests that approximately 47,50O,OO0
acres could be sown If conditions are
especially favorable. The larger acre
age, 1t was pointed out, would better
meet the estimated needs of the al
lied nations and the population at
home.
From the minimum acreage called
for, which is only about the average
of the five years 1917, 1T is estimated
636,O00,O0O bushels of winter wheat
might be expected; from the suggested
larger acreage, approximately $4,000
600 bushels should be harvested. These
production estimates are based upon
an average yield of 1871 bushels an
acre and an abandonment of 10 per
cen in the area sown On account of
winter kill.

is 1T JUST A COLD?
Madison People Should Ask Them
selves This Question.

Don't say: TITS just a cold"
1t may turn into backache, rheu-
matte aches. achy joints
Or other serious sickness that
comes from weak kidneys.
Colds are due to congestion.
Congestion makes the kidneys ov-
erwork to filter the blood.
Colds often leave the kidneys
weak.
First break the cold;
Then use Doan's Kidney Pills to
avert the kidney dangers.
Let this Madison resident tell you
about them.
Mrs. G. E. Walden, 800 Third
street NE, says: Il know Doan's
Kidney Pills are reliable and / am
glad to recommend them. I know
they are just as represented. When
my kidneys were weak, I felt dull and
languid and had severe backaches.
Colds always settled on my kidneys
and made the trouble worse. Doan's
Kidney Pills o strengthened my
back and relieved me of all the
trouble"

New Seed Oils Will Supply
Valuable Food, Tests Made
By Government Have Proved

In experiments to determine the d.
gestibility of oils made from corn, soy
beans, sunfiower seeds, japanese mus
tard seed, rape seed, and charlock seed
oils not now commonly In use-the
United States department of agricul-
ture found that they are well assimi-
lated, and in value compare favorably
with other vegetable oils.
These digestion experiments, report
ed in Bulletin 6S7 published by the de-
partment, are a part of the series
which is being conducted by the de-
partment to determine the digestibil-
ity of various foods. During the test
period (three days) in which the oils
referred to constituted practically the
entire sources of fat, the subjects ate
OF an average of So to 30 grams per
day. and did not report any i'll effects.
To judge by their digestibility these
oils, according to the bulletin, should
prove satisfactory sources of fat for
the dietary.
