should it gain a foothold in the com belt as it has in limited areas in New York and other eastern states, the corn yields will doubtless be reduced to a point where this great industry will no longer be profitable- Like many other imported pests, the Insect has no natural enemies in this country and its eradication is very difficult if not impossible. Farmers are asked to send specimens of any auspicious insect, very securely wrapped, to the Purdue experiment station for examination Corn and Soy Bean Combination Gives Good Results. Practically every farmer in the county who used the combination of corn and soy beans as a field crop in this county is completely satisfied with the results, according to information received by the county crops committee last week. The soy bean is a dnouth resistant plant and in a great many instances where the combination is being hogged down or put into the silo this fall the soys have given about as much feed as the corn. ''Results have been so gratifying that the committee expects to make a campaign for a greater acreage of the comiibnation next spring anld has recommended it without qualifications to the men who hog oft corn or place the mixture in silos.

SIOO Reward, SIOO The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly influenced by constitutional conditions requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Medicine is taken internally and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces of the System thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in the curative powers of Hall’s Catarrh Medicine that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address F.
