4 WIDE-AWAK.> tanner Of Nankin,

A WIDE-AWAX.> farmer of Nankin,
IL Ohio, is ]. NJ. rlake, who believes
in adyertisiat I'm products. In a
paper read recently lefore the Polk
Farmers Institute, Mr. Fluke contends
that what, farmers call over-production IS
under-consumption ana poor distribution,
and that rene Iy for these conditions,
caused partly by lax Of information OF
what the farmer has to sell, and how 1t
may be obtained lies in the proper use OF
printers ink.
Now in what way can that vile CON-
pound, which Mark Twain said was
made from lampblack and molasses, be
made to assist us in disposing of our
surplus products in a profitable way? asks
Mr.. Fluke. The answer is, in its judici-
GUS use in advertising. Now l know that
most of the people here today are
mentally holding up t.eir hands III r. ~
horror at the mere mention OF a farmer
advertising his wares in any way, e%'ej
with his mouth. 1t has puzzled us ne
quently to know why farmer should
have such a mortal fear of newspaper adj
vertising. When he wishes to dispose Of
some of his surplus stock of machinery
he goes to the nearest printer and gets {
few bills printed. He thus fulltlls thu
law of tradition and custom, and it neve
occurs to him that there might be bet
ter or more profitable way. Why is
that the handspring and impetus OF al
other forms of business should not b
useful to us as well?
There are at least two parties to ever
transaction where property change
ownership, seller and buyer. Now
is in the interest of the seller to get
many buyers interested at one time a
possible. The most practical way is tn
way we want. Let us compare two way
and see which is the best.

Now the next important question IS
the medium. This must be determined
by the person interested, and only
general directions will apply. You
know the class of people who ought to
buy what you have. Place your adj
vertisement in the paper that reaches the
largest number of that class. But above
all, don't forget your local papers. You
could not advertise anything amiss in
them. They are read by all trades anc
professions, and those who do not reac
them wouldn't buy gold dollars for 5,
cents. Use your county papers wher
you have sale Not two or three line
that you can't find yourself without you
spectacles, but good, big chunk out of
corner Of page where everybody can Sc
it. Don't sponge your advertising. Tha
disgusts the newspaper man and make
