An American Mother Beats Them All

raised a family of eight is her story

family is unique In that the mother,
with all her loving care, pinned her
faith TO a simple home remedy and
never had a doctor for her children.
Here is what she says: "Peruna has
done my children good. l have q

think Peruna a splendid tonic"
! So far as we have learned Pc
runa is the only known remedy for
which such a wonderful claim can
be made. Like Mrs. Koch, there
are thousands upon thousands of
mothers who place their entire de-
pendence upon Peruna.
That Peruna has merited this

FARM BUREAU NOTES

Loose Smut Present i'm Wheat Fields
AS usual at this time of the year
considerable number of wheat grow
ers who treated their seed wheat
with formaldehyde last fall are
knocking the treatment and claiming
it is no good, because they see in
their fields, heads which are smutted.
Every wheat grower should get
straight on this matter.
| The smut heads to be seen in the
wheat fields at the present time are
due to the work of the fungus which
is commonly known as loose smut,
and no one should confuse this smut
with the sinking smut or bunt
which the formaldehyde treatment
will control. The loose smut has not
been generally as serious as the
sinking smut and no one who really
knows anything about the matter
ever said it would be controlled by
the formaldehyde treatment. By
harvest time practically all evidence
of the presence of loose smut in the
field will have disappeared as the
wind will blow the smutted portions
of the head away and leave only the
bare head stem.
1t is too early at the present time
to tell very much about whether or
not the formaldehyde treatment has
been successful in preventing dam
age from the sinking smut or bunt,
as the disease does not become
markedly noticeable until near the
ripening period. The sinking smut
or bunt is the disease responsible for
the smutted or bunt wheat grains
which give off the disagreeable odor
at threshing time and which when
broken open are found to be filled
completely with black powder
(stinking smut spores).
This disease is the one responsible
for the greatly lowered yield in fields
the seed for which was not treated,
also for the heavy dockage the ele-
vator man must levy on grains con-
tanning bunt kernels, if he can buy
it at all. Let no one when viewing
their yheat fields which contains
heads infected with loose smut, draw
the conclusion that the formaldehyde
treatment has not been effective.
Rather wait until harvest time and
then look for smutted grains of
wheat.
If this treatment has been applied
in a proper manner no damage will
be found from the sinking smut and
especially so, if the tanning mill has
been properly used on the seed in con
nection with the treatment for at
least two years. 1t would be a fine
thing for every wheat grower to go
into wheat field containing loose
smut heads in the next few days and
become familiar with the appearance
of the damage wrought by the IL
sease. Do not condemn the formalde-
hyde treatment.

FISHIN WAS FINE
By Edw. +. ShOufler.

We hiked out for that other lake,
Where fshin was good they said,
With rods, lines, bait, All we could
take;
For the fish had not been fed
o. H-o ~ C hoit W t-I,
Frogs, minnows, beef and pork-rind
Angle worms were considered bad;
But say-fishin was fine.
We baited our hooks and waited,
Drew in and threw out again,
This process many times repeated
Till the count was more than ten;
We baked our backs in the sun,
Spat on the bait, threw out the line,
Juggled the corks, just for fun,
For fshin was certainly fine.
The bull frogs croaked like they were
choked,
Mosquitoes, bugs, gnats and flies
Nibbled our necks, which were cooked
The glare of sun hurt our eyes,
The salt of our sweat made us wet;
Dragon flies roasted on our line
And watched for the big fish we'd get
Anyway-fshin was just fine.
A turtle looked US in the face,
While a mournful dove Good "who-o"
Small blue gills leaped out space,
Just to scare away the hoo do,
So we changed bait; put on worm
To ease the conviction of soul;
But we quit-in a thunder Storm
Suckers at the end of the pole.
