Men Win Out
They Are Always on

1t is a fact that red blooded men
and women are at the top in every
walk of life. Men and women with
the driving force of red blood, rich
in Iron and Phosphates do things,
they get results.
Red blooded women are the heads
of the happiest and most contented
homes, they have the will and the
desire to be real companions and
helpmates.
Leadership adm happiness is only
for the men and women who are
willing to keep their blood and
nerves strengthened and nourished
with Iron and Phosphates.
A prominent doctor says, 1T is a
crime that so many men and women
lack the rich, red blood and strong
steady nerve to achieve their am
billions. 1t is all the more so because
thin, watery blood is unnecessary, as
rich, red blood and strong nerves are
within the grasp of everyone.

the age of 43 years. He later married
Miss Catherine Horn, who also pre-
coded him in death. To these unions
were born % children, fourteen of
whom survive. Those living are John

Spraying Potatoes Pays
This Is Shown by Cooperative Experiments Conducted in 1917
at Aroos0ok Farm.

Orono, Me, Feb. 27.--The following
was issued today from the Office Of
Charles ID. Woods, director of the
Maine agricultural experiment station
at the University of Maine:
Some potato growers have expressed
the opinion that it does not pay to
spray potatoes for late blight. They
claim that when the weather conditions
are such that the disease Is severe.
spraying does not control it sufficient
ly to give an appreciable increase in
yield, also that in seasons when the at
tack is light the increase in yield from
spraying is not sufficient to cover The
added cost Consequently they main
tain that spraying is Improbable at
any time.
That thorough spraying will control
late blight in seasons Of bad infection
has been proven many times In the
past. particularly in Maine. and most
recently in Aroostook county In 1917.
Among other places in the county this
was shown concluisvely at Aroostook
Farm where extensive experiments
were conducted by the United States
Department Of Agriculture in coopera-
tion With the Maine Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station
IN one block where small test plots
SPRAYED with standard bordeaux mix
ture were interspersed with untreated
check plots the average yield on II OF
the former was at the rate of 1872
bushels per acre. While that on an equal
number of untreated plots. was at the
rate OF 1885 bushels per acre. This
was an increase Of 37.7 bushels per
aero. or more than 26 per cent in favor
Of bordeaux mixture.
In another similar block the average
WELD of plots sprayed with bordeaux
mixture was at the rate OF nearly 23I
bushels per acre, while that Of the
untreated check plots in the same block
was 1143 bushels. The gain here was
62.5 bushels per acre or about 50 per
cent. due to spraying. Six applications
