bushel Of shelled corn amounts to
approximately fifty cents and, con-
sidering that this quantity of seed
will plant between five and six ac-
res, the expense of treatment will
amount to the small sum of about
ten or twelve cents an acre. This
expense is very nominal in compar-
ison to the value received, even on a
small increase in yield, as the elm
ination of a large percentage of soft
and Gull corn is an important factor
in the harvesting of the crop, as well
as in the carrying out of the pro-
gram of economic production.
Arrangements have been made
by County Agent Wilson to carry on
this project again this coming year
on these same five farms in order
that additional comparative results
may be obtained on practically the
same types of soil and under similar
cultural conditions.

Wv THEN a special diet has been
Nv prescribed by physician fol-
the treatment of diabetes,
ice really is a necessity in order that
the special food materials, which are
of particularly perishable nature,
be kept perfectly wholesome. Other
aggravated by chronic digestive dis
turbances traceable to contaminated
and decaying foods, says DR.. Martha
Manning, home refrigeration expert.
At once when this diet is ordered,
It is best to make sure of having an
efficient refrigerator, one well insula-
ted, so that ice will melt slowly while
keeping the temperature low, and to
arrange a plan of filling and re-filling
with the deliveryman whereby the
box always will be well supplied with
ice. This done, the moist foods, of
which diabetic diet chiefly is COM
posed, should be kept in the refriger-
ator's clean and icy interior all the
time they are not in use. They are in
this way protected from contamina-
ton by germ-laden dust, and the low
temperature prevents the develop
ment of harmful numbers of bacteria,
which multiply at incredible sreed in
warm air.
Soups for the diabetic should be of
the clear vegetable variety, broths
or cream soups, made withpure cream
and no flour. Relishes stimulate the
appetite and add snap to the diabetic
bill of fare. Ripe olives, lettuce, rad
ishes, celery, cucumbers, endive and
watercress all are approved by s.S7ae
of the leading dietitians.
Vegetables, of course, are most i'm
portant. In the preferred group are
the following, which have a three
percent carbohydrate content: Aspar-
agus, brussels sprouts, sauerkraut,
string beans, sea kale, tomatoes,
lettuce, endive, cucumbers, spinach,
beet greens, and celery.
Only slightly less desirable are
those having five percent carbohy-
drate content: caulifower, Swiss
chard, eggplant, pumpkin, cabbage,
leeks, radishes, collards, mushrooms
and kohl-rabi.
These vegetables, which are ten
percent carbohydrate may also be
permissible: beets, ol1ra, turnips,
onions, squash, carrots, rutabaga; and
also the following which have fifteen
