THE GREEN BUG.
A New Pest That Farmers Have to
Contend With.

Prof. j. G.. Moore, of the Univer-
Tsity of Wisconsin, states that the
farmers of this state need not fear
the ravages of the green bug in the
wheat fields but had better prepare
for rust which is showing itself to
the detr1ment of many crops. In
this territory, however, Prof.
Moore's statement is apparently not
borne out as reports from the farm
ing territory south and east have it
that the much feared green pest has
arrived and is causing great damage
to the growing crops. The bug is
being combated in other counties
where some fields are said to he
damaged nearly fifty per cent. Pre-
tentative measures against the pest
have been unavailable so far and a
clean sweep of practically the coun-
try has been made.
Grant and the neighboring coun-
ties ordinarily are free from pests
which work harm and losses to the
farmers but 1902 may see reversal
of this fact and if the condition in
other localities is to become general
in this district the much feared
shortage of crops may result from
causes other than the late season.
Farmers declare that growing &C.
reals and vegetables are doing well
and their conditions are given as be-
ing up to the average, all Of which
would point to successful harvest
with only the green bug or rust as
detriment. Another two weeks
will reveal whether or not the posi-
ton of Prof. Moore on the green bug
question is to be borne out and the
agriculturalists spared the necessity
of worrying over shortage.

Advertising Brings Fortune.

Ex.Gov. W. L. Douglas of Massa-
chusetts, one of the most extensive
shoe manufacturers in the world
and whose name is familiar the
country over, has made fortune
OPT of advertising. In expressing
himself regarding his methods of
advertising Mr.. Douglas said
81 am not a believer in spasmodic
advertisement. My principle is:
Keep pounding away at the reader
all the time. Formerly it used to
be custom to advertise shoes at
only certain seasons of the year. I
never adhered to that idea. / ad-
vertise-and 1 keep on advertising.
when a season is dull ] increase
my advertisements. That may
seem odd. Many don't do it, But
/ do.
That is one of the secrets, / think,
Of success. Instead of hanging back,
waiting for a slack season to pass, l
believe in advertising all the more.
This past spring, for example, was
backward and cold. 1t was bad for
trade. l did extra advertising.
Another advertising theory of
mine is that good 'ad' should be
changed very seldom. OF course,
in the case of dry goods stores or
other places where special sales are
held and new attractions offered
from time to time it is necessary to
change the form and inducements
of an advertisement. But where a
man deals in a single staple article
/ think he should write one strong
convincing advertisement and let
that stand for a long time. LET
him make sure first that it is the
strongest, best-worded advertise
ment he can concoct. Then let it
stand.
