We like base KEEPS CORN jfiwu/iMj Corn grows last. To make the best yield and quality, it must be able easily to get enough plant food, especially potash, during the whole growing season. Firing of the edges of the leaves, lodged plants, poor yields, and chaffy ears of poor feeding value result when corn cannot get the potash it needs. For every bushel of good quality corn, the soil and fertilizer must supply at least 1 lb. of potash. If you did not apply enough potash in your fertilizer when you planted your corn, there is still time to add more. Successful growers use 100-200 lbs. of a nitrogen-potash side-dresser per acre at the second cultivation or when the corn is about knee high. Ask your county agent or experiment station how much potash your soil will supply and how much you should add to carry your crop through to higher yield and better quality. Then see your fertilizer dealer about a nitrogen-potash sidedresser. You will be surprised how little it costs to apply the extra potash. r Write us for further information and free literature on the profitable fertilization of crops.

CAFE A Menu To Suit Any Taste Reasonable Prices " 1 - 1 A DEFENSE MEASURE Today the true meaning of hoalth l? being roooguUed as never before. Wo aro reshaping our Idoa of hoalth. Wo aro learning tho lesson that hoalth l? not only an Individual matter, or a family matter, but Is a national mattor. On every side emphasis is being placed on national health as a vital part of national defense. Just as an individual needs health in order to face what he or she must face, so does a nation. From a distance wo soo what "t.Ttal war" means Our answer Is "total defense." Hence, this year as never before, tho nationwide lOarly Diagnosis Campaign, being held throughout April, by the National Tuberculosis Association and its state and local associations, deserves the close attention of every person who reall7.es tho seriousness of the day. Tho Kershaw county tuberculosis association, which is participating in the campaign, is making every effort to see that its month-long educational campaign is not only a definite "defense measure" for individuals, but for tho community and for the nation. Tuberculosis is the No 1 Killer of persons between the ages of 1"? and 4r?. Those are the young, active, productive years of life on which our Individual security depends. And these ure the very years on which national security and survival depend. The treachery of tuberculosis?It can be In an advanced stugo heforo any symptoms uppoar?presents an obligation that every person owes not only to himself and to his family, but to his associates, IiIh community and, in tho end, to his country. That I obligation is: Make sure you do not have tuberculosis! The slogan of this year's hiarly Diagnosis Campaign?"A Good X ray Is Your Hector's Best Aid in Discovering I'/arly Tuberculosis"?points the easy, sure, quirk way of discharging that obligation. TUBERCULOSIS SITUATION CALLS FOR MORE ACTION lining deeply concerned by tho fact that there have boon found in Kershaw Couitly alnco September 1 at. 1040, live onsos of pulmonary tuberculosis among women under thirty years of ago and four cases of pub inonary tuberculosis among men loss than thirty-six years of age, the K.er* ahaw county tuberculosis association Is contemplating seriously plans for fluoroscopic and X-ray clinics for men and women between the ages of twenty, and thirty five, according to Doctor John \V. Corbett, chairman of the Karly Diagnosis Campaign, .lust how soon arrangements for those clinics can ho completed is not known at the present time, but tilings will be lined up as soon as possible. Most of tho cases found within the last seven mouths are well advanced and only recently had symptoms serious enough to seek a physician's wivice. Commenting further on tho proposed plan.'Doctor. Corhett said, "The indispensable combinat ion in lO.irly Diagnosis Is a competent physician and a good X-ray and the locul tuberculosis association expects to see to it as far as facilities permit that Kershaw county men and women don't come down with tuberculosis from the neglect of the association to provide opportunities for those off moderate means to get X-ray service when needed.

IVhite sidewalltires extrat | Wouldn't a sprinter or a longdistance runner look silly trying to race with a clothespin firmly clamped on his noset 1 Yet, in a sense, something fairly close to that happens in nearly every car that lacks Buick's sensational Compound Carburetion.f For your engine has to breathe in huge quantities of air to be mixed with gasoline before it is burned in the cylinders. But single-carburetor fuel supply systems can handle only a given volume of air. To that extent, then, an ordinary engine has a clothespin on its nose ? a limitation on air supply for big power operation. We remove that clothespin very simply ? by having two carburetors; one that handles all casual driving smoothly and efficiently, another to jump in with moye air and more fuel when you call for extra power by stepping on the gas treadle! Simple? Very simple indeed. j And simply marvelous in the extra Fireball wallop it gives you and in the gas savings you get ? as much as 10% to lsyo over previous Buicks with the same-size engines. i Maybe you'd better || go see your Buick V? dealer now. \ {Optional equipment on the Buick Special, standard on all other models. ~kdelivcred at Flint, Mich.
