HEAVY YIELDING
HYBRID CORN NEEDS
MORE NUTRIMENT T

CHICAGO-Hybrid corn's upward
surge in popularity in recent years
among the nations farmers was in
dicated by a statement made public
here by the Middle West Soil I'M
provement Committee, showing that
this variety accounted for nearly IS
per cent of all corn planted in the
United States in 1945, compared
with % per cent in 1889.
"In some of the Corn Belt states,
hybrid paintings represented more
than 95 per cent of all corn grown
this year." the statement points out
while hybrids yield from 20 to
Is per cent more bushels per acre
than old-fashioned open-pollinated
varieties, they likewise make a
bigger draft on the soils plant food
resources. Thus they create the
need for more widespread use of
fertilizers not only to make these
big yields possible, but to replace
to some extent at least, the nitro
gen, phosphorus and potash re-
moved by the crop.
Recognizing these facts, most
farmers have been using more fer
tilizer on corn each year. Farmers
have been acquiring increasing
knowledge about the best way to
handle this crop, due to expert
mental projects carried on at state
agricultural colleges and expert
ment stations"

LAFAYETTE, IND. - Detecting
symptoms of plant food hunger in
Midwestern crops and applying
remedies in the form of fertilizers
containing potash, nitrogen, phos-
phorus, boron and other nutrients
will help farmers build greater post
war profits and halt the steadily ris-
ing danger of soil bankruptcy, ac-
cording to DR.. George N. Hoffer,
noted agronomist.
DR.. Hoffer pointed out that corn
plants and various legumes are bet
ter indicators" of plant food def
ciencies in the soil than any other
MidWestern crops. Describing the
symptoms of starvation for potash
and other nutrients in corn, he said:
'If corn plants bear leaves that
are yellowish-green to yellow in ap-
pearance, nitrogen starvation is in
dicated. The leaf blades begin to
turn orange yellow at the tips and
the yelloWing follows the midrib.
The affected tissues later become
dry. Frequently corn growers make
the mistake of attributing nitrogen
starvation to dry weather. Correc-
tive measures are the introduction

STOCK BUYER LOSES
MONEY FAST ON
GAINESVILLE SCALES

The old business adage of "buy
low and sell high" worked in reverse
in Barnesville recently, so a Cam
bridge stock buyer wants the town
to pay him $3.50 for an alleged in
correct weight over the village
scales.
He claims the scales caused him
to buy high and sell low.
In a letter to council, the stock
buyer claims that a load of hogs
which he bought here weighed 1900
pounds on the village scales but
weighed only 100 pounds on scales
in Cambridge.
For the difference of 400 pounds
of pork at $14.7O per hundred
pounds, he says the town should pay
him $3.50 for the error.
This is not the first complaint
about the town scales and council
voted to shut the scales down pend
ing check-up by the county sealer
of weights and measures.

"LET THERE BE LIGHT AND There WAS LIGHT
IN SHARON AND MANCHESTER TOWNSHIPS

Electric lines as we'll as tent-cater-
pillars are spinning their webs all
over western Noble and eastern
Morgan counties.
The residents of the village of
Reinersville were first dazzled by
genuine electric lights, September
"a, 1941. But since that time owing
to wartime restrictions, no exten-
sive mileage was added to the REA
lines, which supply that immediate
field.
Just now there is a precipitous
movement toward building lines in
every direction from Reinersville.
Coming from Sharon township in
Noble county in a northeasterly di-
rection, an REA line is crossing into
Manchester township, Morgan coun-
ty, to the farm of f. Dewey Parks,
ct al. Southeast, another REA line is
being extended from the William H.
Smith home in Morgan to the Harry
Collins home ct al, in Noble county.
Northwest of Reinersville, an REA
line branches off from Dwight w.
Hall home and continues through
Manchester township in Morgan
county and promises to supply cleo
tricity to the homes of John Harper,
Roy Swank and others with a prob
able terminus in the vicinity of the
little cluster of houses called Otho
at the cement bridge on state high
way 78.
Southwest of the same village,
there is considerable activity, the
Ohio Power company entering Man
chester township at the Irwin Hill
Homer Lautzenheiser homes from !
Hackney, Center township, Morgan
county.
Other branches Of Ohio Power are
reaching their tentacles up little
Olive Green creek to include adja- /
cent homes of Ova Welch and Albert I
Marshall. The Hoosier contracting |
company is expanding the so-called |
Ohio Power system.

Lady Nearly ChOked
While Lying In Bed
Due To Stomach Gas

One lady said a few days ago that
she used to be afraid to go to bed
at night. She was swollen with
stomach gas, which always got
worse when she went to bed, and
the gas would rise up in her throat
after she lay down and would nearly
choke her. She couldn't lie flat. Had
to prop herself upon pillows. Re-
Gently this lady got ERB-HELP and
now says gas is gone, stomach feels
fine, bowels are regular and she can
go to bed and sleep soundly.
ERB-HELP contains II Great
Herbs; they cleanse bowels, clear gas
from stomach, act on sluggish liver
and kidneys. Miserable people soon
feel different all over. So don't 20
on suffering! Get ERR-HELP.
