What to Look For 
in a Press 
In selecting a hay press, you 
look for great strength, capacity, 
and convenience and economy of 
operation. All of these qualities 
are embodied in the John Deere- 
Dain Junior Motor Press. It will 
do rapid, thorough work with the 
smallest possible crew and stand 
up under severe strains. 
John Deere-Dain 
Junior Motor Press 
is of the correct size for baling di¬ 
rect from the windrow. It makes 
14- x 18-inch bales and is capable 
of baling 1 to 2 tons per hour. 
The press can be driven by portable en¬ 
gine or light tractor, or engine can be 
mounted on press. Eccentric gears give 
self-feed arm and plunger a powerful work- 
i ng stroke and quick return, resulting in in¬ 
creased power when needed, and more time 
to fill the hopper for the next stroke. The 
hopper has sloping sides, making it easy to 
feed. Distinctive tucker makes well-formed 
bales. Sold by John Deere dealers. Free 
booklets describe the John Deere-Dain 
Junior Motor Press and the larger 16-X18- 
and 18- x 22-inch presses.

Health Notes 
Hay Fever and Its Treatment 
I am troubled with hay fever ; it comes 
in spells every so often. I usually get 
it in the morning; it lasts for an hour 
and a half, sometims longer, before it 
disappears. Once in a while I get it in 
the daytime, but not very often, and it 
bothers me badly. Is there any cure for 
it? If there is not. can it be checked for 
some time? E. E. 
Virginia. 
You are very fortunate if your attacks 
of hay fever last but an hour or two; 
usually they last from the beginning of 
one's own hay fever season to its end. 
One pleasant peculiarity possessed by 
hay fever is that it is not at all depend¬ 
ent upon hay for its existence; it begins 
its annual recurrence long before haying 
is even thought of, and extends its reach 
to the first killing frosts of Fall, when 
the cattle in the barn are beginning their 
inroads upon the full mows. Hay fever 
is not always hay fever, by any means ; 
it is sometimes maple tree fever, willow 
fever, American Beauty rose fever, and 
still more often goldenrod and ragweed 
fever; that is to say, the pollens that 
poison people subject to these various af¬ 
fections may be borne by plants that 
blossom from early Spring to late Fall. 
The first step toward a cure is to find 
your own pollen, or pollens, for some 
people have several quite capable of mak¬ 
ing life miserable for a season. If one 
knows the plants that are anathema ro 
him, he may be able to avoid them dur¬ 
ing their pollen-bearing period. Much 
depends upon how widely distributed in 
his own locality these plants may he. A 
great deal toward eradication of the 
disease has been accomplished in certain 
localities by cutting the weeds, chiefly 
ragweed, before they have had opportun¬ 
ity to reach maturity. 
Some noses, too, can be cured of their 
inability to repel noxious pollens by re¬ 
moving any abnormal conditions that 
may exist in them. This is the work of 
the* physician and surgeon, but it is 
limited in its applicability to hay fever 
sufferers. Hay fever susceptibility is not 
usually acquired after middle life, but 
the writer never met up with it personally 
until after he had passed 50. Then, sev¬ 
eral annually recurring attacks of hay 
fever symptoms during the time that the 
railroad right-of-way in the rear of his 
premises vas covered by blossoming rag¬ 
weed, bored it in upon his conscious¬ 
ness that he too had joined the great 
army of Fall sneezers. The flora of this 
right-of-way consists chiefly of ragweed, 
and it lies to the windward, so that the 
prevailing westerly winds may carry rag¬ 
weed pollen in real, if unseen, clouds 
over his home. As with other diseases, 
an overwhelming dose of poison may 
break down the natural defenses that are 
able to protect against lighter attacks 
from the enemy. 
Xo cure for hay fever, during the at¬ 
tack, has been found, though there are 
several lemedies that will alleviate the 
distressing symptoms for a time. Per¬ 
haps as effective one as any is a weak 
solution of adrenalin chloride, to be used 
only under the direction of a physician. 
This gives prompt relief, but is apt to he 
followed by even a lessened resistance 
and, so, is of but limited value. A so¬ 
lution of boric acid, 15 grains to the 
ounce of soft water, is very soothing to 
the inflamed eyes and can be safely 
used without limit. 
A very modern and scientific remedy 
is found in vaccination with the active 
principle of the pollens that cause the 
suffering; a real case of using the hair 
of the dog to cure its bite. By tests 
made upon the skin, the physician is able 
to learn what particular pollen or pol¬ 
lens are poisonous to the individual un¬ 
der examination. Then, beginning sev¬ 
eral months before the expected annual 
recurrence of the attack, the patient is 
vaccinated with a preparation of the 
guilty pollen, this being given repeatedly 
in stronger and stronger doses. The idea 
is that the patient will become immun¬ 
ized against the offending pollen by the 
time that it appears in the atmosphere. 
It works—sometimes, but it cannot he 
called an infallible remedy as yet. 
There are localities where a sufferer 
from hay fever is free from the disease, 
these places, of course, being those that 
happen to be free from the pollen bearing 
plants that cause his trouble. The Adi- 
rondacks in New York State, the White 
Mountains and the ocean have long been 
favorite resorts for well-to-do hay fever 
sufferers. Those of us who have the hay 
fever without the well-to-doness and have 
to stay at home and attend to our work 
will have to try the vaccination treat¬ 
ment. get along -with the old and tried 
relief measures, or tough it oat as best 
we can. It is well worth while, though, 
to try to find out just what plants are 
responsible for your trouble, by noting 
those that are distributing their pollen 
at the time your attack occurs, and then 
to see if you cannot either avoid or de¬ 
stroy them. M. b. D.

Ship now —and insure 
against a car shortage 
I DLE freight cars in the spring are no guarantee against a 
car shortage at crop moving time. But the use of avail¬ 
able equipment now to make shipments in anticipation of 
fall and winter needs will insure against the costly delays 
that are the inevitable result of the periodical harvest time 
traffic congestion. 
The railroads were never better equipped. They have made 
heavy outlays for new cars, engines and facilities. Operating 
morale is at a high level. Performance records reflect high 
credit on men and managements. 
But railroad men are not supermen—and there is a limit to 
the amount of traffic that can be promptly handled in yards 
and terminals. Car shortages are the result of the slow 
movement of cars rather than the lack of cars. 
Shippers who take advantage of the present ease of trans¬ 
portation to move fuel, raw materials and finished products 
that will be needed later in the year will not only protect 
themselves against business losses due to traffic congestion, 
but will help to insure the prompt movement of the crops 
to market.
