Her mother has nearly lost her mind grieving over the daugh ter. and the house has been vacated by the family on account of the moth er’s health. I _ SEED CORN GOOD. Most of the seed corn grown in Ne braska in 1916 will probably grow well, agronomy specialists at the Uni versity of Nebraska say. However, some samples have been tested that gave a low per cent germination. Where corn is still In the ear, farm | ers will probably not have difficulty in picking out satisfactory seed. When purchasing seed corn, one should re quire a germination test. Use of varieties that are well adapt ed to the locality is recommended. All experimental evidence as well as the experience of farmers indicate that there is ■ some risk in bringing seed corn from long distances, as such corn often yields less than corn which has been grown in the locality for some time. For that reason it is ad visable to obtain locally grown seed. SAVE $1.50. Make your Healing Remedy at home.
