MANY NILE RIVERS
SUPPLY THE U. S.
Advice For Handling Corn
Fields That Overflow
Is Given
Washington, D. C„ April .—ln
the United Sttaes there are more
than ten million acres of good corn
laud subject to overflow. The great
er portion of this yearly is planted
to corn. No other crop is better
adapted nor so generally grown on
this land as corn. Twenty times as
many acres of corn are subject to de
struction by floods as are planted In
the whole of New England. The
amount of land subject to overflow,
but otherwise admirably suited to
corn, and the greater part of which
is yearly planted to corn, exceeds
the combined area of New Jersey
and Massachusetts.
When droughts cause corn on the
uplands to fail, the river bottom
lands usually supply good yields.
Fortunately only certain sections are
visited each year by spring and sum
mer floods. Not knowing beforehand
what section will be flooded, it is
the patriotic duty of those farming
niver bottom lands'to have in readi
ness suitable seed corn for planting
overflowed lands as soon as the
floods subside. When the floods oc
cur in the spring, the plantings
should be made with home-grown
seed as It usually produces better
than imported seer. When the floods
occur as late as June, it will be ad-j
visable to plant early-maturing va- i
rieites, seed of which is plentiful this
year and can be obtained from the
■seed-corn men and seed dealers of
the Dakotas, Minnesota, lowa, Wis
cosin, Michigan and New York.
Many Good Varieties
Where there are three months or
more of good growing weather re
maining after the water leaves the
land, such varieties as Learning, lowa
Silver Mine, Silver ing, 100 Day
Bristol, 90 Day Dent, 90 Day Flint,
etc., should be planted. If less than
ninety days of corn-growing weath
er remain, such varieties as Pride of
the North, Rustler's White Dent,
Minnesota No. 23, U. S. Selection No.
133, Northwestern Dent, North Da
kota 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 destruc
tion 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, that it is seldoAi
possible to make timely plantings.
Those who sell seed usually have
disposed of their surplus by the time
the general corn planting is com
pleted. Obtain seed now and be pre
pared. C. P. Hartley, in charge of
corn investigations, U. S. Department
of Agriculture.
Full Dress Not Always
Formal, Student Finds
Manhattan, Kan., April 10.—Much to
his chagrin a student in argriculture
at the Kansas State Agricultural Col
? Jcgtt here discovered the other day
that "formal" may apply to other
things than dress. In response to a
notice to make a "formal" application
for his degree, to be received at the
Spring graduation, this sedate senior
rented a full dress suit, and thus duly
accoutered presented himself at the
office of the register. Not until a tit
ter of giggles from co-ed clerks greet
ed his ears was he aware of his morti
fying mistake.

The parents tok the matter before

than one hundred adults marched to

PRODUCE INFERTI
Save the Spoilage That Comes From Letting the Male
Bird Run With the Flock
\ Washington, D. C., April 6—The
farmers of the United States lobo each
year large Bums becaußO of Improper
methods of producing and handling
eggs. One-third at least of this loss Is
easily preventable. It U due to the par
tial hatching of fertile eggs.
The eggs laid by a hen may be
either fertile or infertile, depending on
whether or not the male bird hasbeen
allowed to run with the female. A
fertile egg is one in which the germ
has been fertilized by the male bird.
Except for this process of fertiliza
tion, the male bird has no influence
upon the eggs which the hens lay.
Egg production Is equally great in
flocks from which roosters are ex
cluded.
A fertile egg does not keep as well
as an infertile one because the fer
tilizes germ responds more readily to
high temperatures than the unfertil
ized one. It is impossible to hatch an
infertile egg or to cause a blood ring
to form in one. Such eggs are much J
more likely to reach the table in good ;
condition and there Is much less spoil- I
"DRY" PROSPECTS

i One of the Possible Horrors!
of War; Military Prepared
ness Against Disease
New York, April . —Broadway
has long been cont-ldered the main
line to trenches of the Grand Old
Army of General Alcohol. His sturdy
troopers have leaned over the ma
hogany breast-works and philosoph
ically watched the cold water artil
lery "drive in the Western and South
ern picket-lines. Little worried were
they by the evacuation of the Mid
dle Western outlying trenches and;
the threat of flanking movements in |
the Northeast.
"Let 'em come down to the |
Bronx!" they cried. "They can sweep |
Jersev and close up Brooklyn. Wei
can hold this tight little island for
our own and accommodate all the j
suffering refugees to Boot. It'll help j
business."
Then came the war In Europe—
the alarming rear attack that has
swept the belligerent countries into
the Prohibition Dominion. Now with
American war imminent, the foe is
at the undefended rear gate with
old Field Marshall National Prohibi- |
tion in command.
"I'm afraid it's eomin'!" said aj
disconsolate drummer in a Broad- j
way cafe. "They'll be callin' this

"Trouble is," contributed a trav- j
eler back from Europe, "the Prohis ]

Washing Won't Rid
Head of Dandruff
The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you;
destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid j
arvon; apply it at night when retlr-1
ing; use enough to moisten the scalp j
and rub it in gently with the finger
tiP Do this to-night, and by morning, I
most if not all, of your dandruff will J
be gone, and three or four more appli
cations will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching j
and digging of the scalp will stop at;
once, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better. :
Tou can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive and never
fails to do the work. I
j age in shipments composed entirely
of them than in mixed shipments ot
| fertile and Infertile eggs,
i After the hatching season, there
! fore, the male birds should be cooked,
sold or confined. In approximately 14
I days after this all the eggs laid by the
I hens will be infertile. These can be
i marketed much more successfully un
■ der the adverse conditions that fre-
I fluently prevail in the hot summer
j months.
1 Ru ' ,-S Handling Eggs on the Farm
i Heat is the great enemy of eggs,
; both fertile and infertile. Farmers
! are urged to follow these simple rules,
which cost nothing but time and
thought and will add dollars to the
poultry yard returns.
1. Keep the nests clean; provide one
| nest for every four hens.
2. Gather the eggs twice dallv.
3. Keep the eggs in a cool, dry
room or cellar.
4 Market the eggs at least twice a
j week.
5. Sell, kill or confine all male birds

, Then for the fellow who
thinks he absolutely must have real
hard stuff, they establish in a com
munity where enough signers re
quest it, a dispensary backed by the
government and run without profit,
it is open only two hours a day and
nobody can get more than one drink
a day. '
Campaign Against Disease
1 o-day a well organized campaign
against disease is recognized as a
fundamental part of preparedness
for war. Armies of the past have
been decimated by plagues which
nave one by one succumbed to mod
ern preventive medical science. In
our own Spanish war, typhoid
proved more deadly than bullets.
Since that day anti-typhoid vaccine
lias conquered this seourgre.
With another war pending. Amer
ican medical science turns Its atten
tion to the less virulent but none the
less deadly foe. tuberculosis. Great
interest has been aroused here,
therefore, by the request of the'
Council of National Defense to the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis,
which has headquarters in this city
to conduct a coupntry-wide survey
of the situation with a view to map
ping out a program for combatting
this disease in the American army
The association will report the re
sults of this study which should be
of incalculable value In enlisting the
members of the general medical
profession in this branch of pre
paredness, and through them the
public at large. A vast fund of new
scientinc knowledge has been ac
quired in this field in thelast ten
years, knowledge that has revolu
tionized medical practice. Much of
this. I Rather, the general prac
tilipner has yet to learn.
