Why advertise? 'I hat seems lo la
the vital qinvitiun confronting the
merchants of th» small towns, who
have the idea that their people will go
to the larger towns for their merchan
dise rather than trade at home. And
sure enough they will If they are told
to. Hume one goes into a store and
asks for a certain article; the merchant
will answer. "No we don't keep that
here. You w ill have to get it in ■ —..
or
W,. can't atfuid to carry
such a line of goods. No one will buy
them here." Why can't they afford to
carry the bigger and better things?
Just because they don't advert!»« ns
they should. They are putting forth no
effort to keep their local trade. Possib
ly it la too much work to please the
people.
How do they know what vou
have to sell if you don't tel) them?
The publisher in your town is always
readv to do his bent for you. He wants
to keep trade at home. Why not try
some g'ssl live advertising, quoting
prices, and putting on some sales like
the larger towns? 1’ut tour merchan
dise before the people. Make them
that you intend to give them the best
at th« prices they can get the same in
th« bigger places. Too many small
town merchants ait back, fold their
arms and travel "the road of least re
sistance."
11 you want business you
must go after it, not only with cards
and business announcements, but with
real advertising that will catch the eye
of your people.
One »mall town merchant was heard
to »av the other day, "Oh. 1 would bale
to see the newspaper go. A town is
nothing without a newspaper, in fact
it is the newspaper that puts life into
the town.
But 1 can’t afford to adver

and everyone sees it." Indeed! Did
you never realize that their is some
thing in the symmetry of an ad that
draws the attention of every newspaper
reader?
Everyone reads a newspaper
advertisement. There is beauty and
art in them
Of course, your town
will die without a newspaper; so will
it dio with a newspaper that the busi
ness men will not support. Do you
want to deliberately dig the grave, then
kill the town and bury it? 11 you are
interested in your business you are
interested in the advertisments you
place before vour people. Stop adver
tising and the spider webs and cob webs

Cultivation of grapes should liegin
early in Oregon in the spring and con
tinue at frequent intervals throughout
the season until late summer. Csuallv
it is advisable to plow early in the
spring so as to warm up the soil for
earlv activity o( the plants, says the
experiment atatHn.
Many growers
find it of advantage to plow toward the
vines in the fall and away from the
vines in the spring. If such practice is
followed, it is easy to clean out the
weed growth bv the use of the grape
hoe.
After plowing in the spring,
disking is usually advisable, followed by
some form of harrow to form a dust
mulch. The barrow should l>e used
often enough to prevent the formation
of a crust atid to develop a dust mulch
that will slop the evaporilion of ths
soil.

VIGOR OF PARENT STOCK
FACTOR OF HATCHING EGGS
Care of selecting eggs for hatching is
necessary to increase the production of
stock, according to A. G. Lunn, profess
or of poultry husbandry of Oregon Ag
riculture college.
"The first and molt im;x>rtant consid
eration in the choice of eggs is the
health and vigor of the parent stock,"
says Mr. Lunn, "This is where the
trapnester has the advantage fur he can
tell which hens are good layers and
whether or pot tbeir eggs are desirable
for hatching.'
Eggs that are normal in vise, color
and shape are preferable. Tbs shells
should be free from blemishes of auv
kind w itb no ridges or weak spot*.
The weight cf the egg should never be
less than two ounces'
"The successful farmer or poultry
man who is nut trapnesting uses eggs
only from tested hens'" savs Professor
Lunn. It is not good pratice to batch
from pullets eggs principally because
the pullets are untried as producers and
through some weakness may fall down
duri.ig the year. If the pullets have
been marked during the pullet year and
culled in the fall, it is safe to suppose
that those remaining have met the test
of high production.
Eggs from free-range breeding stock
are moie desirable for hatching, as
breeding poultry that have been kept
in confinement will often »bow a lack
of vigor aud vitality oy poor fertility
and batchability of tbe eggs.
Spring "is sure come", the printsbop
windows got their annual bath and a
clean towel was hung up Monday. Tbe
latter is changed at least even 6 months
even the they aien’t dirty, and then Lo,
and Behold! tbe postmaster got busy
and bathed the P. O. windows.
Sympathy is all right in its
place, but there are times when a
kick would be far more effective.

The crop of Grimm alfalfa seed
was considerably larger in 1924
than heretofore, and the seed will
probably be somewhat cheaper.
There will doubtless tie a larger
planting of that very important
variety in western Oregon this
year, says the experiment station.
It is important to get this planted
on soils that are mellow, well
drained and sweet, and can be
made reasonably free from weeds.
A saving in labor and overhead
in milk production from larger
herds iu Oregon has been quoted
in a report cost of milk production
made by the dairy department at
O. A C. This saving was largely
offset by the lower production per
cow
The smallest herds averaged
289 pounds of fat per cow and tbe
larger herds 224 pounds.
Sweet clover until late years has
been considered a noxious weed
but the experiment station has
since shown that it mav have a
place in southern Oregon in past
ures and ranges particulary where
the soil is dry and not sour. After
it is once started properly it keeps
itself reseeded.
