" GENERAL PLANING MILL WORK, THE FAMOUS OREGON SILO ETC. , , YOURS FOR SERVICE Alco Wood Products Co. Albany, Oregon Oregon Agricultural College, Cor vallis "Farmers should use more printer's ink. Those who have used it, both in advertising in their home paper, and in letterheads, envelopes' posters and catalogs find that it increases their business and offers a convenient way of marketing their produce at home." This is the decision of the depart ment of industrial journalism at Ore gon Agricultural college, which de sires to obtain samples of successful advertisements and printed matter used by Oregon farmers. The depart ment asks all rural newspapers to submit samples of other printing for farmers as well as advertisements, j The material will be used to build up . an exniDii at me conege xo stimulate , the use of printer's ink by Oregon farmers, and to assist farmers who ask the college for suggestions and advice on advertising and printing. ' That the business farmer is begin I ning to realize that he must use the , columns of his local paper to adver j tise his produce is indicated in a con test for rural newspapers of Oregon which was conducted at the recent convention of the press association at Corvallis. In the papers which carried the largest amount of rural news service the farmers were users of advertising ppace. Not only did many editors cooperate in the matter of free publicity to the farmers, but actually gave preference to stories of unusual happenings in the rural com munities. Names for farms are becoming as popular as the use of advertising and printed matter, it is shown. The grower of produce is taking a tip from national advertisers and giving his products a mark of identification, which results v in increased business and stimulates a local market, as well as serves as a trademark.
