Marsh Measuring I
1 4-H Club Corn Yield
Kermit Harrell Makes
# 72.4 Bushels on Acre
Os Land
Robert Marsh, assistant county
agent, last week started measuring
corn yields on 4-H Club projects, as
the result of which it was found that
Kermit Harrell, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Percy Harrell of Tyner, produced 72.4
'bushels of corn on his acre of ground.
The young man planted Funk’s G-714
rand both he and his father are well
pleased with the yield. He was able
to get only 300 pounds of nitrate of
soda for top dressing his corn, and
it is thought he would have gotten at
least 85 bushels and possibly 90 had
he been able to get sufficient nitrate
of soda at the right time.
The boy’s father was not very en
thusiastic about hybrid corn' before
this year and says he will plant a
great deal more next year than he did
ythis year.

Don’t Neglect Them I
Nature deigned the kidneys to do a
marvelous job. Their task is to keep the
flowing blood stream free of an excess of
toxic impurities. The act of living—lift
itself —is constantly producing waste
matter the kidneys must remove from
the blood if good heath is to endure.
When the kidneys fail to function as
Nature intended, there is retention of
waste that may cause body-wide dis
tress. One may suffer nagging backache,
persistent headache, attacks of dizziness,
getting up nights, swelling, puffiness
under the eyes—Jeel tired, nervous, all
worn out.
Frequent, scanty 01 burning passages
•re sometimes further evidence of kid
ney or bladder disturbance.
The recognized and proper treatment
is a diuretic medicine to help the kidneys
get rid of excess poisonous body waste.
Use Doan's Pills. They have had more
than forty years of public approval. Are
endorsed the country over. Insist on
Doan’s. Sold at all drug stores.

ager for North Carolina, stated the
fuel oil situation is “tight, but if
I everything goes all right, we can
squeak through.” He said that his
company was .making an all out ef
' fort, including doing many uneconom
ical things to attain a balance be
tween supply and the demands of
customers.
“This situation,” he stated, “is not
brought about by a shortage of pe
troleum in the ground, but is brought
about by shortages of transportation,
producing and refining facilities that
could hot be built during the war.”
He added that the unusual post war
demands could not be foreseen.
His letter went on to say that the
industry in general is building addi
tional facilities but this will take
some time before relief will be in
sight.
• He offered these suggestions for
the heating oil season: “Fill your
tanks now, economize in securing
greater efficiency from your burners
in every possible way, save heat,
thereby stretching the amount of fuel
oil available.”
Advertising is being .used to stress
the importance of economy and con
taining information on how to get
more heat and save oil.
