TWO
WAYS OF HANDLING
FLOODED CORNFIELDS
i
l^arge Area of Good Corn Lartd 5
~ May be Worked to
i ,
Advantage. i
i
i'.A. ' . . . i
In the United States there are <
more than 10,000,000 acres of good
corn land subject to overflow. The
1
,. greater portion oi tnis yeany j t
planted' \o corn. No other crop is i
better adapted not so generally 1
grown on this land as com. Twenty *
times as many acres of corn are sub- <
joct to destruction by foods as are
planted in the whole of New England.
The amount of land subject to f
overflow, but otherwise admirably '<
suited to corn, and the greater part
of which is yearly planted to corn,
exceed the combined area of New '
Jersey and Massachusetts. i
When droughts cause corn on the c
uplands to fail, the river bottom r
lands usually supply good yields. 1
Fortunately only certain sections artvisited
each year by spring and summer
floods. Not knowing beforehand (
what section will he flooded, it is the 1
patriotic duty of those farming river 1
bottom lands to have in readiness
suitable seed corn for planting over- ;
flowed lands as soon as the flood:
subside. When the floods occur n.
the spring the plantings should be *
made with home-grown seed, as it 1
usually produues better than import- !
ed seed. When the floods occur a'Mf-o
!i< .Tiinn if- vi'ill hr> nil\n<nh1r? to
plant early maturing varieties, seed *
of which is plentiful this year and '
can be obtained from the seed-corn
men and seed dealers of the Dakotas, [
Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan,
and New York.
Whore there are three months or .
more of good growing weather remaining
after the water leaves the f
land, such varieties as Learning, j
Iowa Silver Mine, Silver King, 100
Day Bristol, 90 Day Dent, 90 Day
Flint, etc., should be planted. If less
tha i 90 days of corn-growing weath- ;
or remain, such varieties as Pride of 1
the North, Rustler's White Dent,
Minnesota No. 23, U. S. Selection J
No. 132, Northwestern Dent, North 1
Dakota White Flint, etc., should be '
planted.
This seed is obtainable now and
will hold its powers of germination
and productiveness for three or four
years. It is therefore advisable that
all who have crops liable to destruction
by floods should obtain now and
maintain a suitable supply of seed
for prompt planting in case of high
water. Experience has shown that <
if such seed is not on hand when the
floods come, it is seldom possible to
make timely plantings. Those who
sell seed usually have disposed of
their surplus by the time the general
corn planting is completed. Obtain
seed now and be prepared.

FOOD CONTROL PLANS I
LAID BEFORE NATION
Washington.?President Wilson in
a statement tonight outlining the administration's
food control policy,

administration and called on the

Mr. Hoover proposed that the food

the whole Socialist minority. I.e labour
announced that the German people
must follow the example of Russia
in thwarting a revolution and thai
his party would take steps to tha'
end. Tumultuous scenes followed.
Dr. Ledebcur's speech came shortly

A FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mother9* Home, Says Hut
Georgia Lady, Regarding BlackDraught.
Relief From Headache,
Malaria, Chills, Etc.
Ringgold, Ga.? Mrs. Chas. Gaston,
of this place, writes: "i am a user
of Thedford's Black-Draught; In fact.
It was one of our family medicines.
Also in my mother's home, when I
was a child. "When any of us children
complained of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave us
a doso of Black-Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often In the
Spring, wo would have malaria and
chills, or troubles of this kind, we |
would take Black-Draught pretty regular
until the liver acted well, and
, wo would soon be up and around
11 again. Y.ro v -mid not bo without It,
for it certainly has saved us lota of
doctor bills. Just a dose of BlackDraught
wlion not so well saves a
lot of days in bed."
Thedford's Iliack-Drnught has been
in use for many years In the treatment
of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which It
now enjoys Is proof of its merit.
If your liver is not doing its duty,
you will suffer from such disagreeable
symptoms as headache, biliousness,
constipation, indigestion, etc.,
and unless somothlng is done, serious
trouble mny result.
. Thedford's Black-Draught has been
I found a valuable remedy for these
troubles. It is purely vegetable, and
acts in a prompt and natural way,
regulating the liver to its proper
functions and cleansing the bowels of
impurities. Try it. Insist on Thedford's,
the original and genuine. E 79
