SAVE CORN FOR
SEED, FARMERS
ARE NOW URGED
Remember Lesson of 1917, They are
Cautioned, and Have the
Home Grown Grain.
BY P. G. HOLDEN.

We must profit by the lessons OF
1915 and 1917, and save our seed
corn We must not again be caught
without homegrown seed. We
must save enough out of this year
crop to last two years.
The 1919 corn crop promises to
be one OF the largest on record and
there will be few farmers who will
not be able to save an abundance
of good seed corn for their own use
and to sell to their neighbors.
We must bear in mind that next
years corn crop may be total or
partial failure, and that We may
not be able to harvest any good
seed corn from it In that event,
this years seed corn, if we'll ma
tured, if harvested before it freezes,
if thoroughly dried and properly
stored, will be better seed in 1921
than imported seed will be.
In 1915, in the northern corn
belt, most of the corn failed to ma
ture. We had little good, home
grown seed for the 1916 planting
This should have taught US a les
son. We should have saved a two
years supply of seed in 1916, but
we didn't. In 1917 the corn again
failed to mature and we were again
caught without seed.
Cost Millions.
1t is time we profited by this ex-
perience which cost the farmers of
the United States millions of dol
lars because of a reduced yield in
1918.
To save plenty of good seed is
always good business. If our sur
plus is not needed for seed it will
not be wasted. 1t always will have

CUT THIS OUT
OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR CA,
TARRH, CATARRHAL DEAF
NESS AND HEAD NOISES.

If you know of some one who is
troubled with Catarrhal Deafness,
head noises or ordinary catarrh cut
out this formula and hand it to them
and you may have been the means of
saving some poor sufferer perhaps
from total deafness. In England sci
entists for long time past have rec
ognlZed that catarrh is a constitution
al disease and necessarily requires
constitutional treatment.
Sprays, inhalers and nose douches
are liable to irritate the delicate air
passages and force the disease into
the middle ear which frequently
means tota deafness, or else the dis
ease may be driven down the air pas
sages towards the lungs which is
equally dangerous. The following
formula which is used extensively in
the damp English climate is a consti-
tutlonal treatment and should prove
especially effiicacious to sufferers
here who live under more favorable
climatic conditions.
Secure from your druggist | ounce
OF Parmint Double strength). Take
this home and add to it a pint of hot
water and little graduated sugar
stir until dissolved Take one table
spoonful four times a day. This will
often bring quick relief from distress
ing head noises. Clogged nostrils
should be open, breathing become
easy and hearing improve as the in
ttammation in the eustachian tubes is
reduced. Parmint used in this way
acts directly upon the bold and mu-
cous surfaces of the system and has
q tonic action that helps to obtain the
desired results. The preparation is
easy to make, costs little and is pleas
ant to take. Every person who has
'atarrh or head noises or is hard of
hearing should give this treatment
rial.
