SCHOOLS ASKED
TO HELP BOOS!
CORN
In order that the coming Mar-
ion-roiK county corn snow may
r.ceire attention . through " the
ohools, . Paul Carpenter,: . Polk
county agent, who la assisting In
putting on the display, has written
a letter to school teachers.
The letter in part Is as follows
".'The object of this event is to
promote the growth of better corn
In the two counties and to in
crease the acreage. One of the
outstanding needs of our soil is the
production of more crops that
must be cultivated during - the
summer season. Corn fills this
need, making profitable returns in
addition.
"Will you be so kind as to call
the attention of the older pupils in
the school patrons to this display.
A very attractive offering is made
far a community display and it Is
probable that your people will be
interested in competing.
"Your cooperation in putting
forward this show will not only be
met by the appreciation of the
committee In charge, but you will
be rendering a real service to your
district."
In giving a few pointers in the
selection of corn for display, ir
Carpenter offers the following
suggestions: ' v
Corn must be ripe to be a suc
cessful crop. .The ear takes on its
growth during the last few days
of the growing season. Willam
ette valley corn should be hard
by September 15.
The shape of an ear of corn
should be like a pltchford handle.
A to size, It is not always the
largest ear that is bent. Ears of
about eight to ten ounces are what
we should aim for.
The cob should be small every
time. The profitable corn Is from
ears that have small cobs and
deep kernals.
Rows should be straight, as tnat
means more grain to the ear.
There should be no open channels
between rows.
' As to kernels, the deeper the bet
ter, and straight on the sides.
With Dent varieties, there should
be a well defined dent in ever"
kernel.
The butt and tip should be fill
ed, with tip rounded and covered
with kernels. Grain should be
crowded right to the shank of the
butt.
The color should be uniform
Color is a good indication of the
purity of the variety.
The Marion-Polk county corn
show will be held In the , Salem
chamber of commerce rooms three
days, beginning Decemu. 4
Cash prizes amounting to $150
will be awarded.

Tanlac made me feel like a

ready to tell everybody about It,"
declared C. I.. Braim, 2901 Grace
St., Spokane, Wash., well known
member of the police force.
"Stomach trouble caused me no
end of suffering for five years
and I fell oft from a hundred and
eighty to a hundred and fifty
six. I had appetite enough, but
what I ate did me no good. Gas
would form on my stomach ,and a
cold sweat would come on me. I
would get dizzy and my heart
would flutter so I thought I had
heart trouble. I lost all my
strength and had to give up my
work as a machinist and black
smith and find a lighter job.
"But three bottles of Tanlac
set me on the right road and ' I
soon got back in fine shape. My
weight went up again, my stom
ach came back, and now I always
feel fine and ready for work.
Tanlac certainly pulled me out of
a bad hole, and I am thankful."

JOHAS TURKEYS
If
MAY BE CHEAPER
WEDNESDAY, DEcWp . y
Dealers in produce are of the
opinion that the Christmas turkey
will not cost quite so much as the
one bought for the Thanksgiving
celebration.
This is due to the fact that the
great markets of Portland ana oan
Francisco carried a heavy over
load of turkeys which will be held
in cold storage tor the holiday
markets.
Dealers in Salem say that local
ly, , the market was. fairly well
sold, but that market conditions
here are controlled entirely by
the Portland market.
Hence the feeling that the tur
key market is in for a decline.
