EXPERT DENIES GLASSES \UE SIGN OF WEAK EVES DENVER (DP) Spectacles don’t mean that a person has weak eyes any more than shoes signify foot trouble, according to Dr. A. M. Skefii :gton of St. Louis of the foundation for research in optometry. “Glasses are not a sign of defective vision necessarily,” Dr. Sk*ffington said. “There is nothing fundamentally wrong with our eyes. Glasses merely are an aid to adapation of our eyes to the artificial demands of near vision.” “Just because I wear shoes is no sign that my feet are diseased or weakened.” he added. “1 wear shoes because I know my feet need protection. The same is true of glasses. “Put our generation where they can use their eyes only for distances and they can throw away all their

glasses.”

The cleanest seed can bo obtained Horn dealers who handle seed that, has been carefully cleaned by modern machinery. The product is naturally superior to home cleaned seed because expensive machinery and considerable thought ami experience insure a better job than can possibly be done at home. In many cases it will pay the average farmer who raises clover, alfalfa or grass seed to sell his product to be recleanerl ami purchase commercially cleaned seed from a reliable denier even though such seed may cost twice as much per bushel as the cost of producing his own. There is another reason for purchasing seed from a seedsman as he is required by law to tag all seed with an official Indiana seed tag which gives valuable information regarding the quality of the seed. It is unwise to sow seed of unknown purity and weed seed content. If home grown seed is to be used, it should be carefully recleaned. The home fanning mill will remove consklerable waste material, ft should be kept in mind, however, that special equipment is necessary to remove such seeds as dock, red sorrel, buckhorn. and dodder from clover seeds. Several seed companies maintain a seed cleaning service. Why not take the seed to a comm' rcial seedsman and have the weed seeds removed ?
