The findings in Cedar county are most valuable and reveal a whole tillage of ruins and from which many valuable relics and finds of the an ient races can be derived. Dr. Gil- nore was assisting the state workers n the uncovering of several mounds ind house sites in Cass county in he last several years and has been nvited to participate in the Cedar ounty explorations into the ancient rums. Dr. Gilmore reports that the find ngs at St. Helena have been very valuable as to the development close- y connected with the life of the an- ients that might have once inhablt- kl Nebraska. Many of the finds that have been evealed in Cass county have added nuch to the lore of ancient life in he great plains country of the west and from all of the various explor ations will be woven in the future a wonderful history of the early Ne- braskans and inhabitants of this art of the west.

PlukpjihivwiL mm Hybrid Cora Yields Best in the State Foundation . Seed Can Be Obtained from Experiment Stations Difference of 18 Per Cent Nebraska farmers are told in an announcement made from the Ne braska college of agriculture that hybrid corn has outyielded the best varieties of corn consistently in Ne braska in special tests during the past few years. It is not expected, however, that farmers will develop inbreds for the production of hybrid seed corn. Most of this will be done at experimental stations which will supply interest ed corn growers with foundation seed. This consists of two single crosses from which can be produced the hybrid seed. A number of farm ers thruout the state are following the latter practice this summer. As an average for five years dur ing which time nineteen different tests were conducted, the five best hybrids yielded on the average seventy-eight bushels per acre compared to sixty-six bushels for the five best varieties. This represented a differ- enc of 18 percent. Agronomists at the college of agri culture says that good hybrids, in addition to making a higher yield, also may be expected to have a more uniform height of ear, to produce fewer sucker and barren stalks and to lodge less than ordinary varieties. Corn grown from hybrid seed by ordinary field pollination should not be used for planting regardless of how fine it may look, the agron omists say. Its yielding abiuity will be greatly below that of the ordinary hybrid seed and probably even lower than the ordinary good variety. It is necessary, they say to produce the hybrid seed each year by controlled crossing or else 'u'se old seed. Bride Reveals Success-Secret to Her Friends "I'm going to give you a tip from experience," she explained, "and I hope it saves you the heart aches I've been thru. After .we were married for about a iriefntn, I "noticed that John's appetite was gone. He would pretend to eat, but I could see he wasn't hungry. Then, someone told me that he was eating down town before coming home. Naturally, I was heart broken-. I knew my cook ing wasn't so good, but thought it was simply lack of experience. "Fortunately, my neighbor came in while I was still crying, and I told her my difficulties. She immediately called her grocer to send me a sack cf VICTOR FLOUR. Then she put me to work making biscuits and angel food cake. I used my old rec ipes, but you should have seen the difference! When John came home, I could see he regretted that hasty sandwich down town. Now, his ap petite has miraculously recovered, and I'm taking no chances on his 'losing it again. I'm a convert to VICTOR FLOUR and haven't had one failure since using It." Victor Flour is manufactured by The Crete Mills, Crete. Nebraska, one of Nebraska's oldest and largest mill ing companies.
