European -Food Situation.
The winter grain crops of Europe,
with the exception of Germany and
the Netherlands, ere repotted; to have
made favorable progress during the
month of March. In Germany the
groinnd was expesed to late frost with
injury to wheat and rye. It is also
reported that a great shortage of farm
help may follow the keen demand for
factory ,hands in that country. This
may reduce the sugar beet acreage
and lessen the, ability of Germany to
re-enter the sugar export trade on a
broad scale this year. The Italian
Itheat harvest can be no more than a
:rah- crop, while Rournania's acreage
ie raueli below that of last year.
Protecting Leather Coo.
It is important to keep leather from
mildewing. The mold will not do
serious damage, however, unless it re-
mains too long. The simplest plan
to -follow is to store he leather in a
'well -ventilated, dry, well -lighted
plaee, preferably one with an ex-
posure to sunlight. Mold makes little
growth where there is plenty of sun-
shine.
Where mildew has developed on
of all sorts on corn 01 14.9 bushels.
On wheat the average increase over
no fertilizer was 11.3 bushels. On
oats it was 11.3 bushels, arid on clover
and timothy 1,764 lbs. On these tests'
fertilizers were applied in the usual
farm way in addition to the rotation
of crops. -
At Indiana Station, where fertilize(/'
was applied in 1920 to corn, an -in-
crease of 42 bushels per acre was ob-
tained, while on wheat under similar
conditions the increase was 12.9
bushels per acre.
Actual, farmers' exPeriences have
paralleled and in many cases exceeded
the results obtained at Experiment
Stations. ;
In 1920 Stanley Merrill of Lambeth,
Ont., applied high grade fertilizers on
a one-fifth acre block of potatoes, ob-
taining as follows:
No fertilizer ....... .... 137.5 bus.
500 lbs. per acre ... . . 187.5 bus.
750 lbs. per acre 216.6 bus.
1,000 lbsper acre , S00.0 bus. Cr°P Farms Acres Income
•
More bushels and tons of produce
in 1922 spell more dollars/return. This
fact is beyond question. During a
period of low prices tie farmer who
gets the biggest yield per rre makes
the ano.st total dollars and- in the end
has the greatestnet return. -A very
striking illustration is provideby the
University of Ohio in discussing -the
relationsof crop yield to farm returns,
in a pamphlet published in 1929. It
reads as. follows:
It Pays to Grow Large Crops.
The following 'table is based 'upon
figures secured from 80 farms in
Washington toNviiship, Montgoin,ery

vided into two groups, those farms
having yields above the average going

Why We Miss Uncle John,
When Uncle- John Newing moved
out of our 'neighborhood egerylsady
was sorry. He was a handy rnan to
have around. He Could solice a hay
rope, or inend anything made of wooel
or iron, or build a fence out of almost
nothing. The neighbors always knew
-where to go when they' needed a ,jab of
this kind done.
But the thing folks missed, when
'the old man went away,, was not so
much his skill in fixing things tip, as
it was his right royal wayof respond-
.
ing to the calls which came. No mat-
ter how buiy he was about hie owp
affairs, he rieyer failed to dreptwhat
he was doing and go over to see what
was wrong at the neighbor's. In. short,
we missed ,Unele John's good ;heart
and thoughtfulness for others.
And do yeti think anythingsabetter
e
can be said of a rnait than that when
he is gone there, is a big 'hole in the
life of the aleighborhood? , •
It ;is great to grow the finest crops
of anybody in ten counties; there is
something' werth while in 'being right-
ly called the thriftiest farmer in the
neighborhood; but the world can get
along with a few bushels less of po-
tatoes, if it has the good heart left.
Some folks move away and nobody
.eares, much, just because these folks
'never did anything to chow theyNad
a heart in them. They could mend
ropes and fix fences .and all that, hut

A ,Worth -while Life.
A reimth ago the writer "attended
the funeral of his best friend, a farm-
er boy who grew up with him in the
same comniunity andwith whom he
had been closely asseerated a-llthis life.
As ea boy he was industrious and
thrifty and eorded the money neces-
sary -for a start in farming. He mar-
ried a fitting 'helpmeet and settled
down to the business �f his life; first -
on a rented farm, later on a farm of
his own, where his industry and thrift
ancr good management contributed to
the earning -of a competence, in addi-
tion to bringing up a fine family of
three children. But the choicest; among
his achievementi Was the place he won
in the community in which he lived,
a_place Whieh was attested by the
host of friends and acquaintances who
attended his 'funeral when he was
stricken down in the prime Of ;his
manhood, a.*' the trikaites they one
and all paid him.
He' lived a worth -while life. His
greatest success was his wholesome
influence on the' community in which
he lived. Ills life was worthy of
emulation by all of us. It measured
up to the cyitical standard by 'which
all of us must one day be judged.
There is no greater revia,rd to a tvell-
spent-life than to have all those with
whom we come in contact speak well

• I have been having the long and
short worm in my fleck of chickens,
but seem to have it cured, but the -
treatment is expensive. I wondered
if you cauli adiviseasornething to give
that would be a preventative. Is there
-
anything I could give yetang chicks to-,
prevent the same trouble? -Mrs.

Worms can be removed from poul-
try by using tobacco_ stems at the
rate of a pound -of finely ground stems
to each 100 hens. Steep the stems for
couple of hours after just covering
them with water. Add the mixture to
about four quarts of mash. Keep the
birds hungry during the ay and give
the dose of tobacco mash about three -
o'clock in the 'afternoon, Two houis
later give about a pound af epsoin
salts dissolved in water and mixed
with mash. Soon the -birds will goto
roost and many of the worms viktbe
expelled on the droppin,gboards 1.(/ 'ere.
they can be destroyed rather thar911G,

Worms can largely be prevented by

A SEVERE COLD
THE LIKE SHE

, Our advice to you is, never 'neglect
trliat at first appears to be but a slight
cold.
You think you are strong enough to
shake it off, but colds are not s9 easily
fought off in this northern climate, and
if they are not attended to at once they
may, sooner or later, develop into some
more serious lung trouble. -
Mrs, Rchvard Kincade, '66 Bryden $te,
St. John, N.B., ' writes:: --"I wish to ex-
press my hearty thanks to your valuable
remedy, Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, •
and what good it did me. ,
Last fall I coatraCted a serious cold,
the like I never had. Mi head antlinos-
trils were so clogged tip 1 cotfkl no
vent, and could scarcely get my ldhath.
I tried remedy after remedy until at
last I thought I would try "Dr, Wood's."
After the first„,close I felt relief, ancl b3r
the time the bottle was finished I was
bett,cr. I wish to extend my thaikS to
your valuable remedy. After this r
will always keep a bottle in the house."
