HOW TO ADVERTISE
EFFECTIVE METHODS THAT WILL
BRING RESULTS.
SHOULD TELL THE PRICES
Public-Why the MaiI-Order Man
Wins-Try the Plan.

If you, Mr.. Merchant. would compete
with the mail-order houses there are
three main essentials to SUCCESSIVE
goods-the prices-advertising.
The last of these is quite as essen
tial as either of the others.
In the great majority of cases the
local merchant has the goods, and he
makes the prices. but in very many
Eases he either fails to do the adver-
Using. or what he does do is not effec-
i've in the same way that the mail
Jrder mans advertising is effective.
The writing of effective advertising
Is not an art. 1t is not a business that
requires years of study to learn. A
few hours of study and comparison
will give you every essential detail
that you will need.
1t is comparatively safe to say that
IS per cent. of the advertising carried
by local merchants in the local papers
is worded in generalities only. Such
advertisements as the following are
found in every paper:

blight. two of them due to insects, one
TO fungus and the fire blight to bac-
terra.
As preventive treatment avoid
strong manure, using commercial fer
tilizers only, and those that are weak
in nitrogen. Cultivate very little and
none during the blooming season
After the orchard begins to bear, seed
grass best adapted to the locality. AS
the blight affects the young shoots
they should be trimmed back at some
distance below the point affected.
Pruning system has much to do in
controlling the blight. If the tree is
pruned in the common pyramid sys
attacks the top, the main stem has to
be cut back seriously and the shape of
the tree is spoiled. If, on the other
hand, the tree is pruned by the Waite
method, as shown at right of cut
there are several leaders and one or
more may be cut away without serious
injury to the top of the tree. DR.
Waite of Maryland has practiced this
method for several years, says Farm
and Home, and it is very important.
All trimmings. etc. must be burned
quickly, as the germs may spread
from these. The tools used in prun-
ing should be dipped in a five per
cent. solution of carbolic acid fire.
quently while being used. Spraying
the trees with paris green to kill
insects will help prevent the spread
of the germs.

HORTICULTURAL PARAGRAPHS.

By burning the garden and orchard
rubbish you destroy unseen, but nu-
merous insect enemies. For that rea-
son burning is better than hauling
to some out of the way corner.
A Marshall county Qowa truck
farmer last year had an income of
$4,000 from 10 acres cropped with
onions, cucumbers and cabbage. When
grown and sold, as they may be.
intelligently, these products pay.
Lettuce is another plant not easily
killed. Most growers have noticed
that the self-sown plants are much
earlier than those raised from spring
seeding. This fact hints very strong
ly of the advantage of late fall sow.
ing.
In the renovation of an old orchard
the methods to be employed will
depend upon the conditions that sur
round it. When the orchard is plant
ed on land that may be titled and
upon which spraying machinery may
be used, it will be of great value to
give 1t cultivation.

POOR PRUNING.
Many an Orchard Is Ruined by the
Way Work Is Done.

A few summers ago ! saw an orch
ard that had been pruned with an
ak the previous year. If anyone had
done as poor job trimming out my
grove of despised second-growth post
oaks, he would have had to quit as
soon as | found it out, says writer in
The Homestead.
An ak is a poor tool with which
to prune an orchard. know of no bet
ter tools than sharp saw and knife
with a keen edge, the one for the
large limbs, the other for small limbs
and water sprouts.
Besides the usual removal of cross
branches, those that are too low and
water sprouts, there is this spring in
many orchards the added work of TAX
ing of branches that We're broken by
the heavy crop of last year. Much
care should be used in taking these
off so as to leave a smooth surface
close to the trunk or large branch
where they are removed. A stub six
inches or foot long will never
amount to much, if anything, as a
bearer of fruit 1t only disiigures the
tree and induces disease and decay.

good way to have a smooth cut,
where a large branch has to be re-
moved, is to cut 1t off a foot or more
from where you wish, then cut off the
stub that is left. In this way you run
10 risk of having the branch tear the
bark down as it falls. 1t also enables
you to go closer to the tree or large
limb with your saw than you could
any other way
The wounds made in removing
branches an inch or more in diamete:
should be painted the day they are
made.
We paint smaller wounds as the
spring winds check the wound so
soon. and you never know the com
ing days weather. therefore, it is best
not to wait till tomorrow before
covering the wounds. White lead and
oil make the ideal paint for this pur-
pose. AS we have but few hundred
trees we buy the mixed paints that
come in half gallon cans. They are
ready to use as soon as stirred thor
oughly.
When burning the brush 1t must
be far enough from the trees to pre-
vent the heat from injuring them.
