SHEEP DESTROY MANY WEEDS
Animals Convert Noxious Plants Into
Wool and Mutton and Add
Fertility to Soil.

Did you ever stop to consider what
a band of sheep is worth as q weed
exterminator asks a California de-
partment Of agriculture expert "1n
the first place the band Is worth as
much in the destruction of weeds as
a man with a team and cultivator or
weeder through the season.
Secondly, there is big difference
in cultivating weeds out or moving
them and sleeping them off. Guilt
waiting or moving is an expensive
method for which you get nothing but
a little added humus to the soil,
whereas sheep turn your weeds into
marketable products at good prices, to
say nothing of added fertilizer in the
form Of sheep manure deposited on
the fields.
st has been remarked that a small
band Of sheep adds $1,000 to the av-
erage appearance Of the ranch In five
years time, from the standpoint Of
NEEDLESS fields. However, in the long
run it is more than that. 1t is an
actual source Of steady income"

INCREASE Shown
IN Fiber CROPS
Due Largely to Cutting Off of
Supply From Russia and
Other Foreign Countries.
HEMP AND FLAX PREDOMINANT
Considerable Impetus Given to Hemp
Growing by Introduction of Ma
chine acknowledgements
Leade All Other States.

Fiber crops in the United States
show an increase this year, due large
ly to the growing realization Of the
American manufacturers of the cut
ting off of supply from Russia and
other foreign countries, and the de-
velopment of fiber-growing methods
in this country.
fiber crops in the United States. OF
the former, $4,000 acres were grown
this year, with an average yield Of
700 pounds of fiber to the acre, di-
vided about evenly between long fiber
worth on an average of 20 cents a
10 cents a pound. This would bring
an average value Of the crop to sos
per acre, or S1,470,000.
Flax acreage has increased from
5000 acres in 1919 to 5000 acres in
1920. The yield is estimated at from
800 to 400 pounds of fiber per acre,
worth rs cents a pound. The fax
crop Is thus worth about S1,600,000.
impetus to Hemp.
Hemp growing has received consid-
cradle impetus since the United
States Department of Agriculture I'M
dertook the work of breeding new
strains and ecouraging modern ma
chine methods of handling, about ten
years ago. This shows an interest
ing geographical shift In hemp-grow-
Ing territory. Kentucky, which for
merly led, now stands lowest among
the recognized hemp producing states,
while the lead has gone to northern
states, Wisconsin supplying about half
the total acreage. Next come Mime
sofa. Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Cal
ifornia.
Kentucky's decline in relative posi-
ton is due largely to the FREEDOM
nance of tobacco as commercial
.rop, and partly to the fact that states
coming newly into the henp-raising
industry have Immediately adopted
modern methods for large-scale pro-
1uction, while growers in a locality
that has always produced one crop

GREATLY WITH
TERRIBLE COLD

HYPO-C0D RELIEVED
HIM VERY QUICKLY

NY son who is 40 years old SUIT
fered from a terrible bad cold. He
would cough a great deal during the
day, but was much worse at night
when lying down. He couldn't get
any sleep, and was weak, tired and
worn out all the time He had sharp
pains through the lungs and across the
chest. His appetite had failed him,
and he couldn't eat anything" de-
clared Mrs. Williamson, whose address
is given below.
"He bought Earle's Hypo-Cod be-
cause he saw it advertised and rec
commended highly for coughs and colds,
and through the use of this tonic he
has been greatly benefited. 1t stopped
his cough after he had tried doctors
medicines to no avail. In fact he
went to two doctors. Hypo-Cod gave
him his first relief, He has taken
three bottles, and all coughing has
better. and he says Hypo-Cod is one
of the grandest medicines he has yet
run across. 1 now recommend this
tonic because it has benefited my son
so much. I cheerfully allow my name
to be published in the hope that others
will be benefited also" continued Mrs.
nj. Williamson, 405 N. 50th ST., Phila.
delphia, Pa.
Thousands of users have found this
tonic drives away coughs and colds,
and builds them up quickly, accord
Ing to their statements. Druggists,
chemists and experts assert it is a
most powerful reconstructive tonic.
Read the formula on a bottle tonight
at your druggists. Take home bottle
and see how quickly it does the work

DISEASE-FREE SEED

Series of Tests Carried Out by
Plant Specialists.
Increase CT 10 to 80 Per Cent Obtained

Seed corn that gave 100 per cent ger

harmful organisms was matched
against corn that showed no infec-
ton In a series of tests carried out
by plant specialists of the United
States Department Of Agriculture in
cooperation with the Indiana expert
ment station. The disease-free seed
gave an increased yield Of ten to thirty
per cent above it's competitor.
Further results of the test seemed to
prove that when corn was planted too
thickly in hill Or drill row it was
more susceptible to disease than when
better space was given it. In sim
liar test at Bloomington, Ill, the dis
ease-free seed gave an increase Of Is

Used for Tying Irvine.
The output is largely used for ty-
ing Irvine, but new market has been
found for a considerable quantity for
mixing with flax in the manufacture
of shoe thread. Formerly it was not
thought that any material except fax
could be used in shoe thread, but
since the Russian supply was almost
entirely cut off, manufacturers have
found that they can combine the two
fbers without material deterioration.
Much experimenting has been done
with a view to utilizing the hurds, or
woody center. which make up more
than half Of the hemp stalk. One
Ohio factory used several thousand
tons for paper manufacturing, but this
use will need development in the way
Of shipping facilities and definite mar
ket. At present the hurds are mostly
burned for fuel to operate the driers
and furnish power for the breaking
and scutching machinery.
Flax growing appears to be on the
increase, due to the cutting off of the
European product. The principal flax
regions are Wisconsin,, eastern Michi-
gan. the Willamette valley of Oregon.
and northern Minnesota.

CANADA BIC WINNER
Captures Many Prizes at Lead
ing American Fairs.
Remarkable Showing Made at Interna-
tional Live Stock Show at CHI
eago-carried Off Sweepstakes
For All Wheat.

Something that lends emphasis to,
and affords definite proof of. the gen.
crosby OF the soil and climate of
western Canada, is shown by the
numerous exhibits made by both the
government and individual farmers
and stock raisers of that country, at
many of the leading state and county
fairs in the United States this season.
Particularly is this the case with re-
gard to exhibits made at the Inter
national Live Stock Show recently
held at Chicago.
First and foremost to the average
farmer will appeal the fact that
Canada carried off the sweepstakes
for all wheat. and that out of a total
of twenty-five prizes, Canada took
twenty In oats the Grand Champion
ship was won by a farmer living in
the Province of Alberta. Canada also
was awarded the championship for

Canada has conclusively proved that

in open competition with the world.

She wore high necks and long
sleeves. both trimmed with lace. She
would have considered the sash and
Shoulder strap of today indecent.
Her skirt was very long and her toes
-peeped in and out like tiny mice, we
