Half a Century Ago
Haifa Century Ago, every community could
be supplied to some extent with locally dressed
meat, drawing on live stock raised nearby.
Now two-thirds of the consuming centers,
with millions of people, are one to two thousand
miles away from the principal live-stock produc
ing sections, which are sparsely settled.
The American meat packing industry of
today is the development of the best way to
perform a national service.
The function of providing meat had to de
velop accordingly. Those men who first grasp
ed the elements of the changing problem created
the best facilities to meet it large packing
plants and branch houses at strategic points,
refrigerating equipment (including cars), car
routes, trained organization, profitable outlets
for former waste which became the nat
ural, inevitable channels for the vast flow of
meat across the country.
If there were a better way to perform this
necessary service, American ingenuity and
enterprise would have discovered it, and others
would now be using it.
During 1918, Swift & Company has earned
a profit on meats (and meat by-products) of less
than 232 cents per dollar of sales too small a
profit to have any appreciable effect on prices.

Teach the Child to Save.
The American pnrcnt has an oppor
tunity today of planting the seed of
success In every American child
through tile Thrift Slump movement.
The government allows each little
saver Interest on his Investment Just
the same as big Investors on their Lib
erty bonds or oTTTer large Investments.
I'arents should allow tho child the
pleasure, as well as the educational
value, of getting this Interest nnd tab
ulating It for himself, Instead of doing
it for him. This will be not only a Joy
to the child ns a result of his savings,
hut of great educational benefit ns a
foundation for future (success.
Get New Kidneys!
The kidneys are the most overworked
organs of the human body, and when they
fail in their work of tflteiiiiK out and
throwing oft' the poiuons developed in the
system, things begin to happen.
One of the first warnings is pain or stiff
ness in the lower part of the back; highly
colored urine; loss of appetite; indiges
tion; irritation, or even stone in the blad
der. These symptoms indicate a conditton
that may lead to that dreaded and fatal
malady, Uright's disease, for which there
is said to be no cure.
Do not delay a minute. At the first in
dication of trouble in the kidney, liver,
bladder or urinary organs start taking
Gold Medal Haarlem Oil Capsules, and
save yourself before it is too late. Instant
treatment is necessary in kidney and blad
der troubles. A delay is often fata).
You can almost certainly find immediate
relief in (Jold Medal Haarlem Oil Capsules.
For more than 200 years this famous prep
aration has been an unfailing remedy for
all kidney, bladder and urinary troubles.
It is the pure, original Haarlem Oil your
great-grandmother used. About two cap
sules each day will keep you toned up and

if it docs not give you almost immediate
relief, your money will be refunded. Ue

HALT SPREAD OF
EELWQRM INJURY
Farmers Urged to Maintain
Careful Watch for Galls and
Stamp Out Disease.
SALT-WATER METHOD URGED
Precautionary Measures Should Bo
Practiced to Thwart Disease
Most Damage Has Been Dono
in State of Virginia.
(Prepared by tho United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
To prevent the spread of n serious
wheat disease that recently lias dono
much damage In certain parts of tho
United Stutes, especially Virginia, tho
United States department of agricul
ture advises farmers In Virginia, West
Virginia, Maryland nnd California to
maintain n careful watch for celworm
galls in their grain and to ninko all
possible efforts to stamp out tho dis
ease. Tho disease mny bo recognized in
tho threshed grain by tho presence of
hard, dark-colored galls nhout one
half tho slzo of n wheat kernel. These
galls contain the very small celworius.
It Is best to get seed from unlnfested
fields. Where this cannot bo done, n
snlt-wnter method Is recommended for
removing tho celworm galls from tho
sound grain to bo sown.
Tho celworm has dono tho most dam
age In Virginia, causing as much ns a
40 per cent loss in some fields this
year. It occurs in minor degreo In
West Virginia, Mnryland and Cali
fornia, these being the only states
where its positive appearance is
known, but It is feared that tho trou
ble occurs In other states aud possibly
may bnve been overlooked or mistaken
for bunt, cocklo seed or bin-burnt
wheat.
Samples of wheat or grain thought
to be affected with this disease should
bo sent for positive identification to
tho state agricultural experiment sta
tion or to the office of cereal investiga
tions, United Stntcs department of ag
riculture, Washington, D. C.
The disease Is not native to the Unit
ed States and it can bo controlled by
careful precautious.
How to Clean Diseased Seed.
If disease-free seed cannot be on
tallied, the "salt-brlno" method Is
recommended for separating the In
fected kernels, or galls, from the good
wheat kernels. A 20 per cent salt so
lutlon should be mado by dissolving -10
pounds of common salt In 25 gallons
of water. The diseased seed slunild
be poured slowly Into this solution,
which meanwhile Is stirred vigorously,
Tho sound wheat kernels will sink,
while tho galls, light kernels, and trash
will float. The galls and other float

lng material may be skimmed off, after
which tho salt solution, which mny be
used repeatedly, should bo drained
away und the grnlu rinsed in water lm
mediately. After the grain is dried by
spreading it on n floor or canvas and
stirring occasionally it is ready for
planting.
Tho diseased galls should never be
thrown on the ground or otherwise dls
posed of until they havo been plunged
for n fuw minutes Into boiling wnter
to kill tho eclworms. After being given
this boiling process they may be fed
to chickens.
Signs of Infection.
Tho dlseuso is usually Indicated by
Us effect on wheat heads In tho fields,
although it may occur to somo extent
on all parts of tho plant above tho
ground. Diseased heads ordinarily
stay green longer thnt Is, ripen later
and nro commonly smaller than
those not affected, whllo tho chaff or
glumes may bo spread open a little by
tho black celworm balls. Thesu galls
come In the wheat bends in place of
good kernels. They aro dark and
linrd, nnd somewhat shorter and thick
er than wheat grains. Often these can
ho seen plainly In tho affected heads
between the spreading glumes.
Eelworm'e Life Cycle.
Within tho wheat galls aro thou
sands of very small living but motion
less "baby numulodes," called larvao
These, when pluccd In water, can bo
barely seen as short, threadlike libers,
which soon begin active movement,
In tho spring the young eolwonns cs
capo Into tho soil from galls which
have fallen to the ground or which
were sown with tho wheut seed. With
an eel-llku movement they reach the
young seedlings, Ilnally becomo located
between the lenf sheaths nenr the
buds, and as tho plant grows are grad
tially carried up to tho heads. There
they enter tho young llowers nnd pro
duce the galls, where they grow ' to
maturity and lay eggs which develop
Into larvae. Thus the life cyclo Is com
pleted. At maturity of the plant the
lnrvno in the galls become dried and
motionless, and can remain n thnf
condition alive for many years.
BORER IS ENEMY OF
FUTURE CORN CROPS
Growers Urged to Watch for De
structive Insect.
If Pest Shoutd Escapo to Corn Belt It
Undoubtedly Will Become Most
Destructive Enemy Insect
Found In Stalk.
(Prepared by tho United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Futuro com crops of thoUnltcd
States will bo exposed to tho European
com borer, the most destructive enemy
of uinlzo which has over Invaded this
country, unless growers co-opcrnto ac
tively with federal and stnte authori
ties in stamping out tho pest. The In
itial outbreak of the borer was discov
ered In Massachusetts, near Boston,
and nt present tho territory In which It
appears is confined to enstcrn Massa
chusetts. If this pest should escapo to
tho com belt, It undoubtedly will be
come tho most destructive enemy of
com which has ever occurred in tho
Work of European Corn Borer.
United States, becauso Its capabilities
of Indicting injury to tho crop nro al
most limitless. State and federal au
thorities aro striving to destroy tho In
sect, and to control and conllno it with
in tho present Infested area.
Com growers nnd other Interested
persons nro requested to co-operate
with these authorities by carefully ex
amining cornfields, stalks of corn, nnd
dried vegetation In such fields, to de
termine whether tho Insect Is present.
Stalks and stems should bo split open
from end to end nnd If a slender, dirty
whito or pinkish, naked caterpillar Is
discovered therein, the exnmlncr should
communicate with tho Stato Entomolo
gist, State Experiment Station, Stale
Board of Agriculture, or tho Bureau of
Entomology, United Stntes Department
of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.
Tho parent of tho European corn
borer Is n yellowish moth measuring
about one Inch ncross tho expanded
wings. It lays Its eggs upon the c6rn
leaves or leaves of grasses or weeds
in or nenr .the cornfields. Thcso eggs
soon hatch and young caterpillars ap
pear and begin feeding on near-by
leaves. Later they crawl to tho un
folding heads of tho corn and begin
their work of destruction. They fre
quently bore into the tassel stem, de
vouring its internal portions to such
nn extent thnt the tassel will fall off.
This phase of Injury is readily seen
and Is usually tho first Indication of
the prcseiice of this borer. When the
caterpillars become larger they attack
the main stalks at the baso of tho
leaves and It Is not unusunl to find
moro tlmnJ25 Insects attacklnga single
stalk of com. After the cars havo
formed they nro promptly attacked and
very seriously Injured.
The caterpillar is almost naked, slcn
der, pinkish or dirty whlto In color, and
about three-fourths of nn Inch In length
Almost Invariably It Is to bo found
within the stalk or other portions of
tho plant, ns Its Instinct cnuscs tho
caterpillar to hide away within tho
plant upon which It may bo feeding,
When tho caterpillars mature they pu
pato within tho stalks, and nboutt Au
gust 1, in tho neighborhood of Boston,
n new brood of moths emerges to lay
their eggs upon the corn, nnd thus con
tinuo tho work of destruction. Tho
caterpillars resulting from this sum
mer brood of moths live throughout
tho winter, hidden within tho dcud nnd
dried stalks of com, stems of grass,
weeds and green garden vegetables,
where even tho coldest weather does
not injure theuv In tho least. How
ever, at this time, they may easily be
destroyed by burning such vegetation
whllo It is dry and in good condition
to Ignito readily. It Is moro impor
tant thnt all grasses and largo weeds
which havo grown In and near corn
fields bo burned, because these may
harbor thousands of caterpillars. Dc
structlon of tho insects by burning, as
described above, Is tho only satisfac
tory means of destroying tho pest
which has yet been discovered. All ef
forts to poison the Insects have prov
en both expensive nnd unavailing.
Raise Good Chickens.
Even (hough you rnlso but n fow
chickens every year, they should bu

cannot alTord to givo your time nnd

Problem of Feeding.
Tho problem of feeding tho world Is
not one for the world to solve, but for
Individual communities. Each com
