ly indicate that these corn rots can
be controlled. Farmers are advised
to select well-matured seed from
healthy plants. Avoid all leaning or
broken plants and all broken ear
shanks, even though the ears look
healthy. Select about FIVE times as
many ears as are necessary to allow
for dlscarding later all those ears
found to be diseased. Cure and store
the ears in a dry, well-ventIlated place.
After the ears are thoroughly dry,
discard all that have too rough dent
ing or that show dlscolored, pink,
cracked, or shredded shank attach
ments, or with moldy, dlscolored, or
starchy kernels.
Make germlnator tests Of ten repre-
sentative kernels from each seed ear
selected. Keep for seed only those
ears represented in the germlnator by
ten healthy seedlings, cutting open the
ten kernels to make sure they are not
rOtted. even If the sprOut appears to
be healthy. Discard butt and tip kerN
nels. Then shell each ear separately
by hand. In shelling discard any
ears with kernels that are starchy,
moldy, or duh In color.

HIGHER PRICES FOR GooBER
Cooperative Marketing Saved Aiaba-
ma Farmers $50 to $3.50 Per
Ton on Peanuts.

One of the functions of the county
agent under the cooperative extension
system carried on by the United States
Department of Agriculture and the
state colleges of agriculture is to de-
wise new channels for marketing stock
and produce. In Barham county, Ala
bama. mill prices on peanuts were
lower than the farmers deemed profit
able. Through the efforts of the coun-
ty agent, % carloads, 460 tons, were
sold to the confectionery trade at an
advance of SIT, 7,250 over the mill prices.
Cooperative marketing saved the
farmers from $50 to $3.50 a ton.

There are approximately 100000
automobiles In the United States and
there are almost that many farmers.
Tn this year, when the most eXpen-
sive crop ever raised by the American
farmer seems likely pile up on his
hands for lack of profitable market,
way Is suggested to reduce surplus
by attracting automobile trade direct
to the forms.
Most city automobile owners drive
into the country once week or more.
and every farm located on an automo-
bile road has dozens or hundreds Of
possible customers for its fruits, vege-
tnbles, poultry and eggs passing Its
gate every day. The war made the
market basket popular, and the ordi-
nary automobile owner who keeps
house would be perfectly willing to
take home bushel or more of pro-
duce II by so doing he. could lessen his
living expenses.
Stands Along Many Roadways.
Roadside stands for the sale Of
fruits and vegetables are seen along
many highways and frequently have
proved profitable. But observation
shows that they have not been de-
veloped to the full measure of success.
One of the principal difficulties Is that
the autoist does not see the stand un.
| til he Is abreast of II, after which he
must make up his mind and check
his machine, Then, in nine cases out
of ten, he concludes that there will be
another stand farther along and that
1t Is not worth while to turn around
and go back. One farmer In Pennsyl-
vania solved this difficulty by placing
series Of signs along the entire half
mile front Of his farm. These greeted
the motorist.
"Fresh Fruit one-Fourth Mile"
~Sweet Cider 60 Rods."
"Fresh Comb Honey so Rods.S
"Fresh Vegetables 40 Rods"
"Fresh Eggs 20 Rods."
The motorists eye thus was at
tracted and he had time to make up
his mind, and In a large number of
instances stopped and made a pur-
chase. The signs were inexpensive
and yielded a large profit.
There are many motorists who trav-
ell over the same route time after time.

Children especially nowadays learn to
know makes Of automobiles at sight

quently pass. One effective way of
catching the motor trade is to note the
license numbers. look them up at the
city hall or police station on some trip
TO town, and then drop them postal
cards calling attention to the advan-
tage of carrying home a bushel OF
this and that product on their next
trip. This form of appeal is more

WOMEN need SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am.
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..

soription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.

FOOD PRODUCTS FROM FOWLS
On Average Farm Poultry Furnish
About 10 Per Cent of Meat
for Family Use.

A large proportion Of the poultry
products of this country are produced
on general farms. Nearly every farm
has its poultry flock. The average
American farmer reserves about three
dozen eggs a week for family use and
about 30 fowls are consumed by the
family during the year These food
products can be secured absolutely
fresh, which considerably enhances
the value of this contribution from the
farm, says the United States depart
ment of agriculture. OF the meat fur
nished by the farm to the operator and
his family, poultry constitutes about
10 per cent.
small flock of poultry can be kept
on the farm at little cost The fowls
find scattered grain about the farm
stead and on the adjoining grain fields
after harvest. Garden refuse and
kitchen waste are usually available
for them. They also feed on insects
and worms In many cases the farm
er's wife and children find pleasure in
caring for the flock.

STEW OR SELL ALL BOOSTERS
Male Bird Does Not Aid in Produc-
tion of Eggs and Should Be Dis
posed OF in Summer.

Farmers lose many millions Of dol
lars annually from bad methods Of
producing and handling eggs. Much
of this loss is preventable, because it
IS due TO the partial Matching of fer
tile eggs, which have been allowed
to become warm enough to begin to
incubate.
You can help save the loss due to
blood rings by keeping the male bird
from your flock after the Matching
season is over.
The rooster does not help the hens
to lay. He merely fertilizes the germ
of the egg. The fertile germ in hot
weather quickly becomes blood ring,
which spoils the egg for food and
market. Summer heat has the same
