trench ng on the legitimate business O
journalism to give q free advertisement
to the fertilizer manufacturers and helE
them draw off the currency of our far
mers. The State Department of Agri
culture prints 5000 or 5000 copies O
its monthly Bulletin (Which being print
ed by the State Printer comes out oftht
public taxes, If we mistake not) which
furnishes free advertisement to each
one Of the fertilizer manufacturers,
giving his full name, address,, brand,
etc; and if to this widely-scattered free
advertisement in the Bulletin, be added
a free publication of it in every one OF
the 100 weekly papers in North Caro-
lima, why should the manufacturer pay
a penny for advertising? Five years
ago. when the Agricultural Department,
started, our State papers were filled
with Fertilizer Advertisements. and
many a paper depended On the spring
Advertising to carry it through the dull
sun mer months. But since this free
system started, it is a rare thing to see
a fertilizer advertisement except where
the local agents are smart enough to
advertise on their own account
