81 BUSHELS
OF CORN OUT or 100
CBy Associated Pres5l

Washington, Oct. 100 Il
every 100 bushels Of corn that
farmers set out to grow, only 64j
bushels are realized, according to
figures compiled by the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture over al period Of thirteen
years. The difference between
the potential crop and the guam
tity harvested is due to weather
conditions defective seed, plant
diseased and insect and animal
rests. For every bushel OF corn
harvested somewhat over one
half buohel fails TO reach har-
vest.
Were it not for the elementsi
that tend to reduce the size Off
the crop, the average crop forI
the thirteen year period would
lave been about 4, 574,000,0)0 bu-I
shells instead of the 2,805,O00,O00I
bushels actually haryestei pro-
vided the same acreage had been
planted.
The department points out,
however, that if these elements
did not exist and corn growers
were certain of 100 per cent re
suits, the corn acreage probably
would have been greatly reduc-
cd, so that the final outturn
might not have been a larger
crop than that actually harvest
ed. 1t would mean simply that
the farmer could get from two
acres the crop. he now harvests
from about three.
The largest potential corn crop
was one, of about 5,000,000,C00 in
1917, although the actual har-
vest of 3,O65,O00,000 bushels in
that year was exceeded in the
three years 1912, 1920 and 1921,
the largest harvested crop being
3,2O9,O00,O00 bushels in 1920. A
large crop of corn is due to a
relatively low prevention of pro-
duction by the many causes by
which It is limited, but of course
prodution is also related to acre
age, the departments records
show.
During the thirteen years the
lowest degree of prevention was
23.5 per cent of potential crop
in 1920, and the highest was AS
per cent in 1913. Within the pc
Rod covered, from about one
fourth to nearly one-half of a
potential production has failed
to be realized. The average is a
little more than one-third.

How Better T'I.sn Pills?

The question has been asked ::
In what way are Chamberlain's
Tablets superior TO the ordinary
cathartic and liver pills? Our
answer is, they are easier and
more pleasant to take and their
effect is so gentl that one hardly
realizes that It is produced by a
medicine. Then, they not only
move the bowels but improve
the appetite and strengthen the
digestion. &C

Preventative Medicine.

The tendency Of medical science Is
toward preventative measures. 1t is
easier and better to prevent than to
cure. Pneumonia, one OF the most
dangerous diseases that medical men
have to contend with, often follows .
cold or attack of the grip. The cold
prepares the system for the reception
and development Of the pneumonia
germ. The longer the cold hangs on.
the greater the danger. Take Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy as soon IS
the first Indication Of cold appears
20 ~ to get rid Of 1t with the least
possible delay. 1t is folly to risk an
attack Of pneumonia when this REM
