Hnvo you heard of any big store In tho city that has stopped advertising becauso It Is so well known? Keeping uvorlastlngly at It brings success. Somo of you dcalors wasto so much monoy In dlsdlrcctcd adver tising. You pay spaco on n hotol room placard that Is read by a lot of traveling men who do not trado with you. You allow somo advertising fakir to hornswogglo you Into buying spaco In a pro gram, book or directory that Is not worth ono-tonth tho prlco you pay for it.

(25,00010 FOR PRODUCERS OF TRE LEADING OREGON CROPS Although Oregon hns a big crop this year and all the grain crops aro larger than last year, tho value of five of tho leading crops Is not as great as In 1914 at, tho panto time of tho year, on account of some of tho prices being lower this year tha,u last year. Thoso conclusions aro based on tho figures given out by tho llureau of Crop Estimates of tho Department of Agricultttro for this Btato. Tho pric es for thlH year aro those of Oct.l and tho amounts of tho crop arc tho estimated of tho bureau on Oct. 1 as compared to tho final estimates. Tho flvo crops taken aro wheat, oats, barley, potatoes and apples. Tho threo grain crops aro heavier this year than last but on account of the difference In prlco tho wheat crop of tho state In 1911 was greater In val uo at this time of year than tho pres ent crop. Comparison Shown The following figures show tho es timated valuo of each of tho flvo crops on Oct. 1 and tho vnluc after tho final estlmato last year, Indlcat Ingithat tho valuo of tho flvo crops this year Is over $2,000.n00 less In tho stnto than last yearr Tho fig ures based on tho estimates follow: This Year LaBt Year Wheat ... $13,124,000 SK.,1 11,720 Oats .... 15,4215,000 r.,3!50,SOO Hurley ... 2,39ri,000 2,080,200 1'otatoos ... 2.80C.000 3,041,920 Apples .... 2,703,000 2,730,000 4G cents compared to G4 cents last year. Apple Crop Tho estlmato of tho Oregon applo crop this year Is 1,000.000 barrels I compared to a final estlmato last year of 1,134,000 barrels. Tno price of tho producer now Is $2.55 per barrel compared to $2.28 n year ago. AVIiout In lT. S. Tho present estimate of tho wheat crop this year is ono billion bushels and the prlco 90.9 por bushel. Last year the final estlmato was S91.000, 000 bushels and tho prlco 93. fie. Al though tho prlco Is smaller tho crop will bring tho producers of tho Unit ed states moro monoy this year than last year at tho present price.
