Jefferson City, Mo-, March g.

corn is the latest grain to come
under power methods. Instead of
hand labor, breaking off the ears,
shocking them and then filling a
wagon box, the tractor-drawn corn
combine will cut six to eight rows
of corn, husk and shell it, pouring
the grain into a truck alongside,
and shredding the stalks, scatter
them over the field as fertilizer.
Thus the cornbelt of Iowa and Ne
braska will see the Transformation
already witnessed by the wheat
belt.
This mechanization brings two
all-important changes, says Har-
ger. One is the larger farm; the
other the castoff farmers. A FAM
lily can no longer thrive on an
8O-acre farm; now 800 to 400 acres
can be cared for with no more
man power than 80 acres 10 years
ago. Not only do the farming re-
gions become depopulated; the
towns and small cities of the rural
areas feel the pinch of less COM

less trade territory.

In cases like this, California Fig
Syrup never fails to work wonders, by
the quick and gentle way it removes
all the souring waste which is caus-
ing the trouble, regulates the stom-
ach and bowels and gives these or
gans tone and strength so they con-
tinue to act normally of their own ac-
cord. Children love its rich, fruity
flavor and it's purely vegetable and
harmless, even for babies.
Millions of mothers have proved its
merit and reliability in over so years
of steadily increasing use.' A Western
mother, Mrs. May Snavely, Montrose,
California, says: "My little girl, Ed
mas, tendency to constipation was a
problem to me until I began giving
her California Fig Syrup. 1t helped
her right away and soon her stomach
and bowels were acting perfectly.
Since then I've never had to have any
advice about her bowels. I have al
so used California Fig Syrup with
my little boy, with equal success"
To be sure of getting the genuine,
which physicians endorse, always ask
for California Fig Syrup by the full
name.
