When it I fades, turns gray and looks streaked, 11just a few applications of Sage Tea |i' and Sulphur enhances its appearance I,a hundred fold. I Don't stay gray! Ixiok young! I i Either prepare the recipe at home or II get from any drug store a bottle of | "Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur ComI pound,” which is merely the old-time I recipe improved by the addition of ||other ingredients. Thousands of folks I i recommend this ready-to-use preparalltion. because it darkens the hair bea>iI tifully, besides no one can ’possibly I tell, as it darkens so naturally and II evenly. You moisten a sponge or soft 11 brush with it. drawing this through lithe hair, taking one small strand at Ila time.

CORN CONTEST j WINNERS RANKED Twenty Adams County Farmers Will Receive Medals for High Yields. By L. M. Busche, County Agent. According to a list of the yields of 5-acre corn contest plots recorded last week when Peter Lux. of Shelbyville, Judged the contest in the county, twenty local farmers will receive medals this year from the- Indiana Corn Growers' Association which is promoting the organization throughout Indiana. Gold medals will be awarded two for yields of more than 100 bushels per acre, silver m< dais to thirteen for yields of more tlian 85 bushel sper acre and bronze m< dais to five for yields of more than 75 bushel per acre and bronze medals who won medals, with their town.-hips and yields, are given below; C. W. It. Schwartz, Monroe, 107.2; Clyde Harden, Union, 102.0; Oscar Ewell. Preble, 98.1; Henry Coyne. Washing ton, 96.0; Fred Busche. Washington 91.5; Paul Coyne, Washington. 93.7; | Carl Amstutz. Jefferson. 92.7; Grover j Sells, Washington, 91.9; Jacob C. ; Mazelin, Monroe, 91.3; R. M. Gilbert , Monroe. 90.9: Cecil Bess, Washing I ton, 89. J; J. F. Rupert, Monroe, 88.3; 'E. W. Busche, Washington, :-8.0; ; Rufus Huser, Wabash, 56.8; W. T. Rupert, Washington. 86.0; Fred Blum. I Monroe 83.4; W. W. Hawkins. Wash ington. 82.4; Ben Haines, Monroe, 77.8; C. J. Jones, Blue Creek, 77.5; ' The above* figures were obtained byusing the weights of corn found in the average samples obtained last week It is likely the records from Pu -due will compare fairly closely with the above. Data Concerning Planting Methods. A summary of the information ob tained during the- checking-up showe that 30 per cent of the 23 coiltest ante

checked the corn 3'6”xß’6”, the same percentage checking 3'6"x3'L" Closer checking than 3’6"x3’4 ' was used by ;21 per cent. The two farmers who won gold medals drilled their torn although that is of no special significance. A comparison shows, how ever that during the three years the I contest has been conducted, there has been a marked tendency for contestI ants to check closer. Contestants have stated greater yields have been obtained on rich- ground by checking closer than 3'G"x3'6". the distance for- ! nierly so ropular. Good Seed Used. The average yield of the 23 plots | was 87.6 bushels. Seven of the plots I averaging 95 bushels, were planted with seed from the same source'. Three ' ■ of the plots, averaging, 89.1 bush -,ls. ' ■ were planted with seed from another ' source, while two of the plots, averaging 91.8 bushels per acre, were 1 I planted with seed fyotn a third source, i This shows that half of the contest- ' I tints, with yields much over the a . r ' ! age, must have used seed of he ter j breeding that the others, siiu < it 1 ' came from only three sources. Itelat- 1 ing to- good "stands," the three high- ' est yields showed average counts 1 ..e eno .. . . . . C

of 868 stalks in the three shocks i weikhed while the three lowest yields showed average counts of 716 stalks in the three shocks weighed. I). IL S.
