A few dad ago we saw a large pue oi nigniy seieciea seed corn, which the owner said would not test over 50 per cent.

They wore distant relatives of William Taylor, a pioneer resident of Oniadi precinct, now living in Canada. G. A. Taylor, a son, and S. D.

The serving .com mittee is Mrs. Chas, Blessing, Mrs. Elmer Blessing, Mrs. Fred Beermann and Mrs. Armbright. 2:30 is the hour. It is hoped that all mombers and their friends will be present. Come and enjoy yourself. We were pleased with tho largest Attendance at Sunday school and at church lost Sunday we have had for a long time. There were a good number of people whom we did not, see present, however. Would you' like to see Salem with' two hundred members, and having a large influence in this end of the county, engaged in a much larger work than it has ever done? Of course you would. It can bo made so, and we guarantee it. You will enjoy it more, many will come to tho church to see what is going on, and we will prosper. No, It is not our purpose to tell you here, but we wonder if you are interested. What is known as a "business firm" would be interested in a proposition of that sort. We wonder if the church is interested in its business. A firm would call a conference with the re sponsible head of the concern if ho made such a statement, and want to know what he had in mind. Wo wonder if tho church council will wont a special meeting to consider the matter and then a congregational meeting of some sort to lay tho mat ter before the people for their con sideration, and whether we want the abovoi enough to pay tho price. Wo cannot have it all for nothing, tho the money cost will bo small, indeed. The pastor cannot do it alone. Wo are enjoying tho preaching on several topics under the head of "What Salem Needs." The people seem to bo enjoying it, some say they do. Come and hear them, any way. Come to church. Corrosive Sublimate Controls Potato Diseases A circular issued by tho Nebraska College of Agriculture Extension Ser vice recommends that seed potatoes be treated as a crop insurance meas ure. By dipping tho seed in a solu tion of corrosive sublimate it is pos sible to prevent loss from common SCab! rhlnotnnln nf lilnplr Plirf ni" pin head scab; and black leg. Tho solution is mado by dissolving four ounces of corrosive 'sublimate In a few gallons of hot water and diluting to a total of thirty gallons. The length of time tho potatoes are loft in tho solution is given as follows: 1 hour the first time tho solution is used; iy4 hours the second time it is used; and Hi hours tho third time it is used. The solution should not bo used for dipping more than four Ibts of potatoes. The potatoes should be treated before sprouts appear, and before they are cut to plant. Dry them us Boon as treated. Corrosive sublimate Is an Internal poison and should be used carefully and kept away from, people. Treated seed will poison stock. Wooden, concrete or other non-metal containers must be used on account of tho corroding qualities of the poison.
