SPLENDID 1918 CROPS
ON OUR MAINE FARMS

G.. NJ. White of Portland, chief oil
the bureau of seed improvement, con-
nected with the State department of
agriculture. in his annual report
which has been filed with the Cover
nor and Council, says that the scare
ity of labor and fertilizer, with high
prices for both, have added to the al
ready difficult problems of the Maine
farmers, but true to the American
spirit of using difficulties as oppor-
tunitics to test ability. they have
closed the season of 1918 with a
wheat production 0uadrupled, pota-
toes increased 100000 bushels. corn
zoe, 900 bushels and an oat crop equal
to that of 1917.
THE importance of the work of this
bureau in assisting efficient crop pro :
duction by searching out high yield
ing strains Of seed free from disease.
is rapidly being recognized by pro-
gressive farmers" says MIR. White in
his report.
1.-The acreage inspected this year
amounted to 537 acres of potatoes and
IS acres of oats. being 5S per cent.
more than in 1917. From July - un-
til Sept. g. four inspectors were con-
stantly employed in Aroostook county
and. as a result 263a acres of potatoes
have passed the field requirements for
blue tag seed stock. In Central
Maine, SO acres OF potatoes and II
acres Of grain have been passed ac-
cording to the same requirements.
THE work is now better system
atized than ever before in the line of
potato seed stock. That equally salts
factory results can be obtained with
other staple food crops is evident.
Practical requirements for high grade
seed corn and beans have been drawn
up by this bureau with the approval
of the executive committee of the
Maine Seed Improvement Association
and with limited amount of strictly
high grade seed it is planned to begin
the production of the blue tag grade
of corn. beans and wheat seed during
the summer of 1919 along the lines Of
field and sack inspection similar to
that now used in the potato and oat
work.
while most farmers realize the
Value Oh improved SeeO. IL ~ never
theless true that many do not care to
use sufficient care to produce high
grade. One farmer made the plain
statement that were he sure of obtain
ing a first class grade of seed stock
for his general farm crops that he
would prefer paying a premium of so
cents per bushel rather than bother
to keep up his own strains by the an
nual selection which is necessary.
This attitude OF letting the other
fellow do it adds emphasis to the
need of getting still more growers en-
gagged in the production of certified
seeds of all kinds. Surely the. de-
mand ought to be met. The per acre
yield for Maine OF oats and potatoes
in 1917 was 20 and les bushels re-
spectively. while certified fields aver
aged 261A bushels for potatoes and
upwards Of 50 bushels for oats this
year.
ITO spread the use of these high
yielding seeds with suitable systems
of cultivation means Z great financial

RUB YOUR BACK!
STOPS LUMBAC0
Don't Drug Kidneys! Rub the Pain
Right Out with Old "St. Jacobs
liniment"

Back hurt you? Can't straighten
up without feeling sudden pains
sharp aches and twinges? Now, lis
ten. That's lumbago, sciatica, or
maybe from n strain. and you'll get
blessed relief the moment you rub
your back with soothing. penetrating
st. Jacobs Liniment." Nothing else
takes out soreness. lameness and
stiffness SO quickly. You simply rub
IL on and out comes the pain. It is
perfectly harmless and doesn't burn
or discolor the skin.
Timber up! Don't suffer! Get a
small trial bottle from any drug store
and after using it just once. you'll
forget that you ever had backache
lumbago or sciatica. because your
back will never hurt or cause any
more misery. II never disappoints
and has been recommended for 60
years. Stop drugging Kidneys! They
don't cause backache. because they
have no nerves. therefore can not
cause pain.-Adv.
