Northern Minnesota will doubtless agk the legislature to resubmit amendment number three, which barely missed adoption last Novem- ber. This measure would have per- mitted the establishment of a re- volving fund to pay for roads, dit- ches and fire-breaks in and around state lands. It is a good and neces- sary amendment, as everyone admits, but failed of passage for lack of a thorough campaign, such as carried amendment number nine through. The Northern Minnesota Develop- ment association, in asking for the resubmission of the amendment, sug- gests that provision be added for clearing state lands, as well as for draining, protection and making them accessible. Indeed, the asso- clation goes farther and recommends provision for clearing private as well as state lands. It seems to be generally agreed, however—if one may judge from the comments of the press—that amendment should not be loaded down with provisions for clearing privately owned lands. This problem of how to get the cutover lands cleared of stumps'is a very live and important one in the northern region. A strong argument may be made for helping the hard pressed settler to clear a part of his land of stumps, and a system of rural credits whereby this could be done is no doubt practicable. .But any system of rural eredits should be state-wide and not confined merely to those farmers who need stumps pulled, urgent though their need may be. The question of how to get suth land cleared, in fact, is or ought to be quite distinct from that of making the state’s vacant lands attractive to new settlers. It 18 to this latter question that amend- ““ment number three, when resubmit- ted, should be addressed. It is more business prudemce for the state to drain its vacant lands,; protect them by fire-breaks, build roads into them, and clear enough of euch prospective farm to make it a practical proposition for the pur- chaser to get a living on it from the ““start. The expense of doing ‘these things directly enhances the value of ¥ thé lands, and will come bacK to the state in the higher prices obtained for them. But clearing of privately owned lends is another matter entirely, and should not be permitted to complicate and very possibly defeat, the much desired amendment, which will mean more rapid settlement of vacant Iands and greatly increase the popu- lation, crop production and wealth of the state, says the Minneapolis Jour- nal.

Farmers are warned against the nse of table potatoes for planting purposes. as these, even though they do not show the disease, may have been exposed to powdery scab. Table potatoes are usu- ally shipped from Maide in bulk, and the car carries a blue certification tag. while seed potatoes are in sacks or oth- er containers of a capacity not to ex ceed 180 pounds, and each container Iz separately certified. - Some dealers have been buying table stock and selling it for seed. These men are not violating amy law, but they are exposing their customers to the risk of the introduction of a dan- gerous disease and a quarantine should the powdery scab be introduced. ‘The white seed certificaterelates only to freedom from powdery scab, but po- tatoes so certified are likely to be.of better quality and less mixed than ta ble stock potatoes. The supply of cer tified seed potatoes in Maine is ample. and the price this year is low, so that there is no excuse for planting table stock potatoes. rigid inspection and other precantions thrown around certified sced stock from quarantined districts make such stock as safe as potatoes from non infected areas nnd often better se lected.

Just a few applications will prove a revelation if your hair is fading, gray or dry, serag- gly and thin. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur - recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way-is to get the ready-to-use tonic, costing about 50 cents a large bottle at drug stores, known es “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem- edy,” thus avoiding a lot of muss. While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youth- ful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it does it 8o naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have ‘disappeared, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.
