The last week's heavy roads have
made the membership campaign for
the Pure-Bred Heifer Club very -slow.
However, a fair number of applica

close the canvas early in the week.
Any boy or girl from 13 to 18 years

their seed corn is of low germination.'
Some men have alreadv becun the
ear-to-ear test. 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. To
look at this lot of seed, it was hard
to realize that it could do anytning
but cood. Have you made a- test of
your seed?
At tho Covington Precinct organi
zation meeting, several linos of work
were outlined to be carried out dur
ing the year. Mr, Georgo Hirsch
back will conduct a demonstration to
determine the difference in yield
when corn is cultivated two, three
and four times. He will also test
the difference in yield of potatoes
grown from northern and homo grown
seed. An orchard pruning demon
stration was planned for the Guy
Manning farm, north of tho Island
school house, for ' 2 p. m., Monday,
March 29. At this meeting, the sub
ject of orchard spraying wllL also bo
discussed. 'While at the meeting,
several persons asked for gopher poi
son. This will be for salo at the or
chard demonstration. Mr. Ira Wad
dell reported that 675 pounds of lead
arsenate had been signed for. Inas
much as the canvas was not complete,
it was considered best to not close
the ordors until March 27. The
following persons agreed to keep ac
counts on tho costs of production of
growing crops this year: Glen Dc,
Forest, John Bobler and T. J. Rounds,
on corn; and Georgo Hirschback, H.

The following obituary appeared in
the Sioux City Journal Tuesday of
lost week, and as the family" first
came to Homer in 1869, stopping for
a 'while with relatives in that local
ity, they may be rememberod by some
of tho earlier settlers. 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. FHppin, a son-in-law.
worked on the Henry Ream farm a
couplo of years after the family hod

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.
