Wage Campaign to
Raise Corn Grade

ATLANTA, April 10.-The Atlanta
office of Federal Grain Supervision
u. S. Department of Agriculture, is
making a campaign this spring to raise
the grade of corn grown in the South
east K B. Seeds, grain supervisor
in charge, is engaged at present in
visiting a number of counties in this
and adjacent states, which produce a
surplus of corn. In company with
the County Farm Demonstration
Agent he meets both dealers and pre-
ducers explaining to them the various
factors affecting the grading of corn
and the Demonstration Agents advise
them how to select their seed in order
to grow corn which will grade high.
Particular stress is being laid on the
necessity of corn being free from wee
vii and damaged grains and the ad-
vantage of growing pure white corn.
Investigations by the Atlanta office
show that much of the surpluH corn
of the Southeast which would other
wise grade No. or No is forced
into sample grade (thte lowest grade)
on account of being infested with live
weevils. 1t has also been found that
the grade of Southeastern corn is often
lowered on account of an unnecessary
1xy Of Il Or cd n
1t is suggested that much trouble from
these sources could be avoided by
using seed of a variety having tight
husk which fully covers the tips of
the ears and handling and storing the
corn after harvest in proper way.
The official grain standards of the
United States require shelled corn to
contain ninety-eight per cent by
weight of white kernels in order to
be classed as white. Corn containing
more than two per cent. of other col
ors is classed as mixed. During the
past year approximately fifty per cent.
of the corn shipped to market from
the Southeast was classed as mixed
on account of containing from three
TO fifteen per cent. of other colors.
Most of this off-color corn consists of
what is locally known as straw-color
and strawberry grains. In 1913 under
normal pre-war conditions No. 3 white
corn sold in the Chicago market for
l per cent more on an average than
No 8 mixed corn, the average differ
ence in price being one and one-eighth
cents, On the same market in 1913
under war conditions white corn
brought an average of 6S per cent
more than mixed, the average differ
ence being ten cents. The demand for
white corn is much greater in the
South than in Chicago so that the
difference in price is even greater in
this section. All farmers in commu-
mites where corn is grown for mar
ket are being urged to use only pure
white seed whether they themselves
expect to market any corn or not as
one farmer who raises off-color corn
may by cross pollination materially
affect the color of his neighbors' crop.

Indigestion, Gas
and BloatFror1l
Aciid-StoE1laCfl

An acid-stomach cannot digest food
properly. Instead, the food sours and
ferments and, passing into the intes-
tines, becomes a breeding place for
countless millions of deadly germs
toxic poisons they are called. These
poisons are absorbed into the system
and cause untold misery. So, you see,
it is just acid-stomach, nothing else
that makes SO many people weak,
listless and unfit; saps their strength
and energy; robs them of their vigor
and vitality Biliousness, bad liver,
nervousness, binding, splitting head
aches, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica
these and many other still more
serious ailments often are traced to
the common source-an acid-stomach.
Take EATONIC and get rid quickly
of the pains of indigestion, heartburn,
that horrible, lumpy, bloated feeling
after eating; disgusting, belching,
food-repeating; sour, gassy stomach.
These stomach miseries are caused by
what doctors call "Hyperacidity."
It's just ACID-STOMACH. And in
addition to the pains and miseries it
causes, ACID-STOMACH is the starter
OF long train of ailments that most
people never dreamed are in any
