TO DARKEN HAIR i
APPLY A: sage TEA
A few applications Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur bring back its vigor, color,
gloss and youthfulness

Common garden sage brewed into
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
"a few applications will prove revela-
ton if your hair is fading, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home though, is trou-
blesome. An easier way is to get a
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all ready
for use. This is the old time recipe
improved by the addition OF other in
gradients
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
Sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
no one can tell, because it does it so
so naturally, so evenly. You just damp
en- a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn
ing all gray hairs have disappeared,
and, after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark,
glossy, soft and lpxqriant

PROFITS FROM wlNDRREAks
One Man Declares Two Hundred Per-
cent Is Return From Planting
Evergreen Grove

For 500 invested in selected and
well placed evergreen windbreak,
$4,000 is added to the value of an Iowa
farm in ten years.
The story of evergreen windbreaks
In Iowa sounds like fairy tale of wild
cat investment schemes, although diff
ferent from these, the facts bear out
the statement and the most satisfied
are those who have invested.
"There is no Improvement that can
be made on a farm for so little money
that will add so much value as ever
green windbreaks,' says Stewart
StOckdale, a prominent stockman and
ex-county supervisor of Franklin coun-
8ty. In his case he states that money
could not buy his windbreak.
Eugene Mallory, another extensive
cattle feeder living near Hampton,
claims that ten bushels of corn is
actually saved on every steer each
year on his farms, by feeding his
steers behind evergreen Windbreaks
in place of so-called soft maple or
willow windbreaks.
a"Our windbreak saves at least $2O
worth OF fuel year." says John Blum,
"a neighbor of Mr.. Mallory, but the
greatest benefit we receive is for the
shelter one gets in doing chores be-
hind windbreak, and the protection
it provides for hogs and cattle
ut will take forever to grow an
evergreen windbreak,' is often the ex-
cuse for not more planting OF this
kind. An expert assisted in planting
a Norway spruce windbreak on clay
hillside in northern Iowa, the trees be-
ing from 1S inches to "a inches high.
Three years later some of the trees
were eight feet high and IS per cent
or them were more than five feet
high. Some other varieties are even
faster growers than the spruce and
often more useful.
8O One foot of windbreak affords pro-
lection for one rod Of space and par
tial protection for several rods farther
back says the agricultural extension
landscape architect of Iowa State col
lege at Ames. Thus, from eight to
ten years insures permanent effect
i've windbreak Of evergreen trees.
Temporary windbreaks may be plant
ed outside of the evergreens and must
be cut out when the evergreens can
take care of the protection.

TO MAKE wHlTEwAsH STICK

st3Gg TO MAKE WHIVEWAon SlINN
Everybody knows how to wiiteWash
but the horticultural section OF the
Iowa experiment. station has formula
used on fruit storage rooms which
could well be used for any ordinary
whitewashing.
They have found that in addition to
each ten quart pail Of ordinary white
wash it is advisable to put in a hand
full, about two pounds, Of portland
cement. To this add good sized tea
spoonful of ultarmarine blue, stirring
thoroughly. Cement gives a setting
quality which the lime does not have
when used alone, and the uftramarine
blue is used to counteract the brown
effect of the cement. This mixture
must be used at once, or the cement
loses Its value as a setting agent.
Use just enough whitewash to COW
ser the surface in good shape, and do
not dry 1t too quickly nor too slowly
two or three days is about right. II
1t dries too quickly, it may flake, and
If too slowly, the moisture may go in
to the wood, forming molds.
This mixture might also be used to
good advantage for withdrawing
chicken coops by mixing abouta half
pint of lime sulphur into the ten
quarts Of whitewash. This would COM
'bine sticking quality, whiteness and
disinfectant, for the lime sulphur
would soon rid the coop OF any mites
or lice which might be present.

!. WAY BROOM CORN IN ,owA9

It would seem a wise policy for the
man without experience In growing
broom corn to stick to more staple
crops, says the farm crops department
Of Iowa State college at Ames.
Prices Of broom corn brush have
been SO high during the last year or
two as to lead many farmers to think
seriously of growing the crop. While
planting and cultivation of this crop
are about the same as for corn, there
are other things about the manage
nent of broom corn that need to be
fully understood.
Experience with broom corn is es-
sential to success. One must know
when to harvest and how to thresh,
cure and sort the brush to bring the
best price on the market. Good brush
cannot be produced without consider
able necessary and expensive equip
Inent In Iowa, drying or curing sheds
are necessary to protect the brush
from the sun and rains after harvest.
Ia addition, seed scrapers or thresh-
ers and baling presses are required.
Probably the most serious considera-
ton at the present time is the short
age Of labor. To produce broom corn,
q large amount of experienced hand
labor is required, and outside of the
districts where broom corn is grown
extensively it is difficult and often I'M
possible to obtain first rate hands.
While choice grades of broom corn
brush have sold for over $3.50 ton in
some OF the leading markets during
the past year, 1t is well to remember
that the product is subject to wide
fluctuations in price, not only in differ
ent years, but sometimes in the same
season.
"a period of high prices is usually
!. followed by! a period of low prices.
This can be explained by the fact that
the high prices attract the attention Of
many new and inexperienced growers,
who put in a considerable acreage, ex-
pecting large returns. The result is
that much of the crop is poor in quail
ity and sells for less than the cost OF
production.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1919-02-05
REDUCING FOOD COSTS

The idea that the business of food
production needs reorganization is not
one held merely by easy chair philoso-
pliers and smart newspaper fellows
WHO never saw hoe nearer than a
railroad car window 1t is the pre-
vailing scientific expert opinion. For
instance, Elwood Mead, chairman OF
the California Land Settlement board,
in recent magazine article says,
s'The time has come for a sweeping
reorganization of Our agrarian sys-
tenn" He refers to American deal
ings with the soil as a form of anar-
chy, and says the losses by exhaus-
ton of the soil through lack Of fer
tilization and failure properly to ro-
tate crops. have been more destruct-
i've than if all farm houses and build
ings in this country had been swept
away by fire.
The first respect in which farming
is not efficient as compared with fac
tory production is that farming has
not employed machinery to anything
the same extent. Farm tractors, for
instance, are revolutionizing condi-
lions on many properties. But the
people do not begin to- realize yet
how generally they could be used.
There is a steep hillside country in
Oregon and Washington where trac-
tors are working on slopes of SO per
cent grade. One farmer in that sec
ton who bought a tractor last spring
said last September that it had al
ready paid for itself. In one country
in this district it is said that the use
of harvester and thresher combines
had saved the time of 500 men.
q And this great economy Of man
power, the cost of subsistence OF
workers, was made by just one tpye
Of machine. Now if similar economies
could be made in every agricultural
county in the country, in all the vari-
Gus processes of farm work, SO far as
local conditions permit, the total say.
ing would be almost unbelievable. Any
output would be greatly increased. He
could afford to sell his products for
less money for given quantity. The
food price question would be largely
solved.

TELEPHONE COURSES GIVEN

Beginning the middle of this month,
eighteen two day schools for telephone
operators will be run in different parts
of the state under the direction OF the
engineering extension department OF
Iowa State college.
These schools will be for the educa-
ton of telephone operators in call
work, both long distance and local.
Two days will be spent at each OF
eighteen towns over the state, cover
ing all sections except the northwest
ern part, where Influenza is still seri-
Gus. The first day will be devoted to
local operating on calls which orig
mate and terminate in the same office.
Toll calls, commonly known as long
distance, will be taught on the second
day.
At present eighteen towns are on
the schedule, although no definite
times have been arranged. The towns
are Marshalltown, Grinnell, West Lib
erty Mt. Pleasant, Custerville, Cres-
ton, Clarinda, Atlantic, Denison, Har-
Ian, Sidney, LIE Mars, Onawa, Fort
Dodge, Belmond, New Hampton, Man

What appears to make the disease

can be accomplished. Orchardists in

ORDER MORE SPRAY MATERIALS

Better orcharding took boost in
Iowa last year, Judging from the
financial report of the Iowa Fruit
Growers association, just released.
Business for the period, Dec. l, 1916,
to Nov. 80, 1917. showed total OF
s$13, 964.S1, while business in the year
ending Nov. 80, 1918, showed an in
crease of S3,946.45, the total for the
year being S17,911.26.
The greatest increase was in the
line OF spray materials and machinery,
while the harvesting equipment
dropped materially, due perhaps to the
poor crop Of apples oflast season.

INJURED BY FALL
MATT FAZENDIN, OF RAMONA,
FALLS FROM BARN ROOF.

A fall of Is to 20 feet on Thursday
was the cause of great hip injury and
helplessness for Matt Fazendin, who
was working on the roof of a new
barn several miles out of Ramona.
Mr.. Fazendin was UP on the sheeting
boards at work. He stepped on the
edge of one for a firm footing think
ing that the board was nailed fast.
This did not prove to be the case,
therefore the slip of the board to-
wards the caves let him fall before
he could realize his peril and clutch
a lafter. Landing on the side of his
body with full weight caused one hip
to be badly fractured. Friends
brought the wounded man to Mad
ison yesterday afternoon and Drs.
Westaby and Baughman attended to
the injuries sustained.

LIQUOR seized
PLANT DISCOVERED ON THE
FORMER McCREEDY FARM.

Yesterday was confession for at
least one resident in Lake county
not any religious confession, but an
admission of violation of the state
dry law, and Sheriff Keller's were
the ears that heard the recital of
guilt. 1t all came about this way:
Sheriff Keller bounced down upon a
quantity of real old bourbon whisky
of great age and strength-some 80
quarts-on the former McCreedy
place one mile south of this city.
The repository for this Illicit stuff, a
bin in the granary, was thoroughly
explored by the visiting official who
made the find completely buried in
oats. Adolph Kehr and brother
Richard were the suspicioned own
ers though the latter has since been
cleared of implication. Mr.. Kehr
who conducts a livery barn in this
city admitted his ownership of the
seized booze.
A preliminary hearing occurred
this morning at 10 o'clock. Mr.. Kehr
was bound over for court trial at
Sioux Falls. Sheriff Keller is of the
belief that several others had a hand
in securing and storing away the
whisky and 1t is likely other arrests
will o o be made.
