gan Variety Adaptations Show.
East Lansing, March IA new
corn bulletin, covering in comprehen-
sive fashion all branches of corn
growing in Michigan, is Just off the
press at the Michigan Agricultural
College and ready for distribution to
farmers of the state.
Michigan corn varieties and their
adaptation to different sections of
the state, seed selection and care,
and general cultural practices are
discussed in the bulletin, which has
been edited by Prof. j. F. Cox and
J. R. Duncan of the M. A. C. Farm
Crops Department. Complete pic
tured illustration of all subjects
taken up in the pamphlet is a feature
reported to add greatly to it's prac-
teal value.
"Corn growing is one of Michi-
gan's greatest industries, its value
being greater than that of any other
crop produced in the state" says
Professor Cox in the introduction to
the bulletin. "The production of corn
compares favorably with Michigan's
leading industries. The value of the
corn crop approximately equals the
total annual output of Michigan's
copper mines, or iron mines, and ex-
ceeds the value of her furniture in
dustry in normal years."
The average state production of
corn for the last Is years has been
100000 bushels a year. The crop
was valued at between eighty and
ninety million dollars in the year
1919.
The new corn bulletin is known as
Regular Experiment Station. Bulle-
tin, No. 289, Michigan Agricultural
College, and may be had free on re-
quest.

THAN CAL0MEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub
stitute for calomei-are a mild but sure
laxative. and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. These little olive
coiored tablets are the result of DIR
Edwards determination not 10 treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel
The pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or cslomei. They axe
hold OF the trouble and quickly correct
it. Why cure the liver at the expense Of
the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays
havoc with the gums. So do strong
liquids. IL is best not to take calomef
Let DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets take
