Follow Instructions Closely.
If the billing instructions furnished
by the consignee are not clear. 1t is
generally better plan to hold the
shipment until satisfactory instruc-
tions are received than to take the
chance of billing it incorrectly. When
specific Instructions as 10 routing or
delivery are given they should be fol-
lowed in detail. as il is frequently the
case that shipments arriving over

INCREASED YIELDS OF CORN
Clear Gain of 5000 Bushels Per Year
by Ohio Farmer Who Followed
Depa rtment Advice.

Records of one S00-acre farm in Ohio
show an annual increase of 5000 BUSH
els of corn through the adoption of
new strains Of corn and improved
methods developed and recommended
by the United States Department of
Agriculture. The farmer has been
following the advice of the depart
ment for 90 years, and has kept care
full records of his yield. For the last
ten years the increase averages more
than ten bushels an acre over previ-
Gus years. Beyond the extra cost of
harvesting. the labor and expense is
no greater than previously, so the
5000 bushels is regarded as clear gain.
