SELECT YOUR CORN SEED AT THE HARVEST TIME Planting Seed Should Be Treated. Can Greatly Increase Yields. Seed corn should be selected in the field and not from the crib, as no improvement can be made unless the character of the stalk on which the corn grew is known, according to the extension division of the Georgia State College of Agriculture. There is a commonly accepted idea that a variety will run out if grown in the same locality for a number of years. This idea is erroneous, as seed corn that has been selected from your own fields from year to year is better than can be brought from some other section. It is, of course, necessary that the grower start with a good variety and keep it so isolated that no crossing with other varieties take place. The importance of using pure seed corn of a variety adapted to the conditions in the section in which it is grown, has never been fully realized by many farmers. Those farmers, however, who do not care to select their own seed corn in the field should secure fresh seed every few years from some reliable plant breeder, as constant selection is necessary in order to keep corn up to a high standard. The fodder should never be pulled from corn intended for seed, as numerous tests have shown that corn loses in weight from 15 to 30 percent, and that seed from stalks from which the fodder has been pulled do not give as high yield as when it is allowed to remain on the stalk. In a few hours a grower can go through his fields and select enough seed to plant his crop for the next year. In making these selections the following characteristics should be watched for: 1. Two good sized ears to the stalk. 2. Tip of ear completely covered by shuck to keep out grain weevils. 3. Medium sized stalks in most varieties. 4. Ears low down on stalk to prevent breaking over. 5. Ears with tip turned down, which keeps out moisture. Ears well filled out at butts and tips. Long cylindrical ear with small cob and deep gains. Hard flinty grains as a measure in preventing injury from weevils. This seed corn should be thoroughly dried and placed in a barrel or tight box to prevent injury from weevils and rats. About 6 or 8 ounces of carbon bisulphide placed in a shallow dish in the top of a barrel and the barrel covered tight will kill all the weevils. The prolific corn has invariably given the highest yields in variety tests and when good seed of a prolific variety is secured to begin with they can be kept to a high standard by selecting in the field. Anyone interested in more detailed information on seed selection can secure a bulletin on “Seed Selection on the Farm” from the College of Agriculture. ENGAGEMENT OF POPULAR YOUNG LADY ANNOUNCED The Sunday American contained the following announcement: “Mr. and Mrs. W. D.

Last week's warehouses had received 2,900 bales of cotton. Up to date, more cotton has been brought in than was expected. DRINK HOT WATER BEFORE BREAKFAST Says you can't sleep well, sweet and fresh inside, and are seldom ill. If you are accustomed to wake up with a coated tongue, foul breath or a dull, dizzy headache; or, if your meals sour and turn into gas and scalds, you have a real surprise awaiting you. Tomorrow morning, immediately upon arising, drink a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This is intended to first neutralize and then wash out of your stomach, liver, kidneys and thirty feet of intestines all the indigestible waste, poisons, sour bile and toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal. Those subject to sick headaches, backache, bilious attacks, constipation or any form of stomach trouble, are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store and begin enjoying this morning inside bath. It is said that men and women who try this become enthusiastic and keep it up daily. It is a splendid health measure for it is more important to keep clean and pure on the inside than on the outside, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing disease, while the bowel pores do. The principle of bathing inside is not new, as millions of people practice it. Just as hot water and soap cleanse, purify and freshen. When the skin, so hot, water and a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. Limestone phosphate is an inexpensive white powder and almost tasteless.

All of Shellman sympathizes with Mrs. Johnson. IS THE TEST OF TIME. MANY DAVIS PEOPLE HAVE MADE THIS TEST. Years ago this Dawson citizen told in a public statement the benefit derived from Doan’s Kidney Pills. The statement is now confirmed—the testimony complete. Instances like this are numerous. They doubly prove the merit of Doan’s Kidney Pills. Can any Dawson reader demand more convincing proof? It's Dawson testimony—it may be investigated. G. M. Roberts, wholesale grocer, 440 E. Lee street, Dawson, says: “I have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills, and they have never failed to give relief. At times I had a dull aching of distress. It only took a few Doan’s Kidney Pills, which I got at the Dawson Pharmacy, to fix me up in fine shape. I am glad to recommend them.” FOUR YEARS LATER Mr. Roberts said: “I am always glad to say a good word for Doan’s Kidney Pills, for they helped me greatly when I used them.” 60c, at all dealers.
