Pine Tar Good
for the Skin
It's been almost fifty years since
Grandpa's Wonder Soap first made its
appearance and won immediately the
lasting friendship of our people by the
almost amazing manner In which this
good old Genuine Pine Tar Soap per-
forms its function. But, we must all
realize that the real reason why this
friendship has endured is because the
product on which it was founded has so
splendidly stood the rigid test of time.
There are thousands of Southern grand-
pas who point with pride to the fact
that for four generations they have
been using nothing but "that good old
Pine Tar Soap." One reason for this
is the known fact that Genuine Pine
Tar has properties that are soothing
and healing to the skin. It's great
for grease; fine for shampoo; grubs
any dirt quickly and lathers freely
in hard water; good for the skin, and
is also mildly deodorant. Most all
Grocers and other dealers, too, sell
this soap in two sizes, medium and
large, at popular prices.—Adv.

Seed corn for 1928 planting offers
an Interesting contrast to that for
last year, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. From the
standpoint of maturing corn, the sum-
mer of 1024 was one of the poorest in
many years. As a consequence there
was every indication that there would,
not be enough seed corn to go around
In the spring of J085. An uctlve cam-
paign by the agricultural experiment
station and the federal Department
of Agriculture, aided by realization of
the very evident danger, resulted In
more seed corn being field selected
and dried than ever before. Finally,
unusually favorable weather during
September and October permitted
much corn to dry In the field without
being damaged for seed purposes.
Therefore an abundance of good seed
corn was available for planting in
1925.
Seed Corn Situation.
In contrast, the summer of 1925 was
nnusuaily favorable far the rapid de-
velopment of corn. The crop went
Into September in excellent condition
and the prospects for seed corn were
the best. Field selection of seed corn
was put of? In many cases because of
these facts and early freezes occurred
before many farmers had selected
their seed. These conditions have con-
tributed to a prospective seed corn
situation next spring which, while
not serious, may be unfavorable.
In Iowa, for example, the tempera-
ture during tiie last week in October
was low, zero weather occurring over
more than half of the state. Corn con-
taining more than 20 per cent of mois-
ture Is ruined for seed purposes when
subjected to such temperatures. Con-
ditions similar to those In Iowa oc-
curred over much of the corn belt.
Farmers who did not have their
seed corn out of the field before the
first freeze should test it for germi-
nation as soon as'possible. Directions
for conducting such tests may be had
from their state agricultural experi-
ment station or the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. A prelimi-
nary test of two kernels from each of
1(H) ears of the kind to be planted will
show whether the seed can be used
or whether other arrangements must
be made.
have g >od drainage, for vegetables
cannot thrive lu water-logged soli." If
the I und is low and marshy, he ad-
vises gardening on raised bgds.
Texture of the soli Is also very im-
portant, Moore believes. He defines
the Ideal garden soil texture as "fine
and loose," and to attain these quali-
ties In soils of the lumpy, heavy type,
he recommends adding organic mate-
rial. or lime, and In some cases, apply-
ing sand or using coal ashes* wher*
the soil is extremely heavy.
Make Plans for Gardens
Before Planting Time
"Plan the farm garden before plant-
ing," advises .1. (J. Moore, of the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin horticulture de-
partment.
"Just as the carpenter cannot build
a satisfactory house without a plan
prepared In advance, so should u far-
mer not attempt to plant the garden
bed before planning for it," declares
this authority. "That the garden is to
be small Is not a good excuse for neg-
lecting to make a plan. It being all the
more Important to secure maximum
returns in such cases. Therefore,"
Moore points out. "the wise gardener
will plan his garden on paper well in
advance of planting time."
According to Moore, the plan should
show the location of each row, and
the crop to he planted—the distance
of each row from one end of the
garden—ami Hip sequence for the dif-
ferent plantings, when more than one
planting Is to he made.
"The soil is a prime factor In a suc-
cessful garden." lie says. "One of the
first essentials Is that the garden plot
Carefully Select Eggs
for Hatching Purposes
"Don't blame all poor hatches on
the Incubator," says the poultry de-
partment of the New Jersey agricul-
tural experiment station. Over 75
per cent of poor hatching Is due to
the egg and the hen thnt laid the
egg. Some hens will continually lay
eggs that will not hatch, while others
will continually lay eggs nearly all
of which will hatch strong healthy
chicks.
The elimination from the breeding
pen of hens whose eggs will not
hatch, although fertile, will help
greatly to Increase the percentage of
hatch. of all eggs set.
Trap-nesting and pedigree hatching
are the only sure ways of getting rid
of poor hens, but these methods can-
not always be used on the farm. By
watching carefully at hatching time
the shape and size of individual eggs,
and also the texture of the shell,
some of these troubles may be
avoided In future hatches.
Abnormally large or small eggs,
mis-shaped eggs, or eggs with thin
shells or shells of poor texture will
not hatch well, and therefore should
not be set. It Is also unwise to set
tinted eggs, or eggs that weigh less
than lit wo ounces, not because they
will not hatch, hut In order to avoid
breeding these characteristics Into the
flock.
Seed Grain Planted in
1926 Needs Treatment
Every farmer should treat his seed
grain In ISfcIO in order to prevent
smut, says Dr. K. C. Stukman, a plant
disease authority of the University of
Minnesota. Besides smut in oats, of
which there is always a great deal,
Doctor Stakman finds there was an un-
usually large amount of stinking smut
of wheat In 1925. In one country ele-
vator 75 per cent of the wheat which
was brought in was badly smutted.
Methods of treating seed wheat dif-
fer from those of treating oats and
barley. Folder No. 13, eutltled "Treat-
ments for Seed Grain," explains the
use of copper carbonate dtist and

Simple Account Book
The simpler the farm account book,
the better. A simple, two-column day
book or Journal can be purchased In
j almost any town and is entirely satis-
factory for the keeping of farm ac-
counts. The purpose of fnrm accounts
j Is to give Information concerning the
farm business. Accounts are of most
I value when they are thoroughly un-
derstood. Complicated systems of
bookkeeping too frequently are not un-
derstood and consequently are of little
value.
TURN CORN INTO DAIRY FEEDS
TO BOOST PRICES, IS URGED
Farmers who are worrying nhout
the surplus of corn rnd the relatively
low price of their product Just now
can secure as much as $1.25 a bushel
by turning this corn Into dairy feeds
and market the dairy products.
"By marketing their surplus corn In
the form of dairy products," says
M. D. Munn, president of the National
Dairy council, who has been confer-
ring with leaders In the dairy Indus-
try and hnnkers on the question, "this
corn will return the farmer about
$1.25 a bushel based on the average
price of dairy products In 1925. By
so doing we will not upset the balance
of grain produced by having corn con-
sumed In the form of corn meal mush,
bread or muffins In place of a bushel
of wheat. At best we can only eat a
given amount of bread and cereals,
und un Increased consumption of one
form of bread necessarily decreases

the consumption of another." While
corn meal mush and milk Is always
very palatable and healthful and
should be freely eaten, It does not con-
stitute an effective way of consuming
the surplus corn.
"If lie public Is renlly willing and
anxious to help In relieving the farmer
of this corn surplus burden," says Mr.
Munn, "he can best assist by increas-
ing the consumption of milk, butter,
Ice cream and cheese and at the same
time he more healthful and efficient.

Is a by-product from tbe manufacture
of starch and sugar from corn. There-
fore the consuming public can further
assist by using more corn sugar and
less Imported cane sugar."

Lace Workers Protest
Lace workers of Nottingham are
loud In their denunciation of modern
styles and appeal for a return to the
fashions of the Victorian era. They
don't mind the scanty skirts of the
women of 1925, but they feel ag-
grieved at- the scantiness of the lin-
gerie that goes with them. But In
spite of all they say, they follow fash-
Ion's dictates.
