Muddy weather doesn't bother the

very much, because there are over 500
miles of gravel roads In the couRty,
and each year their mileage grows
larger. The cost Of graveling roads
In Massac county is not very great be

They removed the lameness and soreness
from my back, the backaches ceased and
my kidneys became regular in action

An expert writing in the Country
Gentleman emphasizes the value of
good seed. He offers five suggestions
for making sure of the quality:
Using real care in selecting and
buying seed.
Keeping clear of seed bargains
mixtures and windy Dragging
Checking up on the reputation of
the firm you expect TO buy from.
Buying no seed at all unless it is
labeled in full so as to cover the fol
lowing points: Percentage of pure seed
percentage of foreign material. noxious
weeds. percentage of termination and
date of test and origin. ~EW
IN case of doubt. or to make doubly
sure, have the seed analysed by the
state seed laboratory or, if there isn't
one. by the department of agriculture
at Washington
The planting, cultivation and harvest
ing of the farmers or gardeners crops
involve a tremendous amount of labor
The folly of multiplying all that effort by
eXpending it on poor or doubtful seed
should need no emphasis
