Moscow Star Mirror:
Seven Foot Combine Cuts 900
Acres One Season. "

ACIeb Oue SSdSOu.
The record run for an Idaho
National, a seven-foot machine,
in one season was made this sea-
son by S. G. Herd at Brawley,
California. Now before you
skeptical fellows do any talking
kindly wager some of your coin
that this statement is not correct.
This last suggestion is made be-
cause there are those who will
jump at conclusions and declare
that such a record for a seven
foot machine is impossible. u.s..
Mr.. Herd first operated an Ida
no during the season of 1910, and
used this same machine again this
year. He is now convinced that
it is the greatest piece Of harvest
ing machinery in the world, say
ing to a Star-Mirror reporter Sat
urday: Ill
II have no doubt about this
machine. 1t is all that can be ex-
pected in harvester, and the
company can never supply the
demand from California. Not
only are these machines ideal for
for the Imperial valley, but they
are just what is needed in both
the Sacramento and the Salinas
valleys. In California you have
ideal conditions for these machin-
es, There are no, hills, and the
seasons are long and dry. We
have just such conditions as are
ideal for Idaho, and the farmers
are waking up to the fact. Since
I left home" went on Mr.. Herd,
the company here at Moscow
has received a letter from one of
the biggest California formers
asking about these harvesters.

es of others, and as soon as the
facts about the Idaho become

Moscow plant cannot supply my

Harvested Wheat Crop For
~ Dollar Per Acre.

~ Dollar Per Acre.
Clarence Godfrey of Pomeroy,
was in Moscow Saturday, where
he spent the day at the plant Of
the Idaho National Harvester.
Mr.. Godfrey had just finished
harvesting 270 acres of wheat
with. a seven-foot Idaho Nation
al machine, completing the work
in twenty-five days, and is one of
the most enthusiastic farmers re-
lative to the new invention who
has ever operated one of them.
Mr.. Godfrey said:
81 ran one of these Moscow
machines for 25 days, over
ground that was very billy in
places, and after giving it a
thorough trial, under all manner
of conditions am more than pleas
ed with it. | think il is without
AN equal as a harvesting machine,
for it certainly does the finest
work possible. 1t cracked no
grain, ran easily, and saved the
crop. We used eight horses, with
two men, averaging almost eleven
acres a day, and allowing dol
lar a head for our own horses
and wages for the men, it cost
us dollar an acre. But we get
the dollar. This money remains
in the pocket of the man who
produces the crop. The actual
cash outlay where farmer owns
the horses is very little compared
to all other methods, and it is
certain that these machines will
come into general use in the near
future.
Il am not a new man with har-
vesting machinery said Mr..
Godfrey. Il have operated big

I'd n work before seven in the

di'lon that is possible only with
an Idaho National. This will
probably explain why our daily
average was not larger. Had we
put in as long hours as other
kinds of machines operate the
average would have been a great
deal better. The point is that
with an Idaho, owing to it's econ
omy, it does not necessitate un-
reasonable hours and labor con
ditions.

CORN IMPRESSES.

One of the most noticeable things
about the people, who have visited
North Dakota for the first time this
year, is the expression of astonish-
ment at the large areas of corn. It
seems that an idea exists in the states
to the south that corn doesn't grow
in North Dakota. When. farmers
come from Indiana, Illinois and else
where and see the fine fields they fair
ly gasp with establishment. They see
field after field of corn that is as
good as is grown on their high-priced
land-and naturally their estimation
81 the possibilities of the state great
ly increases.
A point that is almost Invariably
raised by the farmers and live stock
men of the central west is regarding.
the amount of cattle feeding done in
North Dakota. They can't realize why
North Dakotans-with such unlimited
corn and forage-doesn't feed and fat
ten more cattle and hogs for the. east
ern market.

Dakota scheme of things that must be

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN?

1t is said that there are two men now
in North Dakota, who have been sent
here with considerable political back
ing, who are ostensibly here in the in
terest Of other lines Of work, but are
particularly active with regard to find
ing the sentiment of the people of the
state concerning the activities under
the Pure Food Law and Drug Law of
North Dakota.
Why are they so interested in food
matters in North Dakota unless back
OF them are inaGenees which are not
intended to work fet tbs bsss ebestests
Of the welfare OF the consuming public
of the state.
1t is said that a similar course has
been pursued in other sections Of the
country, where. the activities Of food
commissioner is not satisfactory to GER
tain interests, and an attempt has been
made in these states, it ia reported, to
establish political influence which
would enable them to curb the acttvi.
ties which might be obnoxious to them
or the interests involved. It Is well
to bear this matter il rnsha cad to
watch future developments.
Ever since the Denver meeting of
food commissioners, there has been an
unusual activity on the part Of GER
tain parties, official and non-oficial, in
various parts Of the country. and par
ticularly in those states whore the
more stringent food laws are to be
found. Is such an activity on the part
OF outside, influence necessary for the
welfare of the people of our state? If
SO, why do they not place sQuarely be-
fore the people the information which
they desire them to have? If they do
not believe in the Food Laws Of the
state, why mot come out and state
wherein they are defective and at fault
and let the people at large decide as to
whether we shall adopt their sugges-
ton or not Has benzoate of soda or

nection? Do the people want benzoate

KEEP ALWAYS BEFORE PUBLIC
Most Successful Merchants Arc Those
Who Advertise ContInualIy-spas-
,nodlc Publicity Poor Policy.
(By WIN. G. FREEMAN.)

(By WIN. G. FREEMAN0
Just about this time of year goodly
number of merchants decide that they
will save money until the middle of
September by not advertising.
Year after year, for nearly twenty
six years, one Of the hardest parts of
my work as an advertising man has
been to convince the merchant who
wants to stop advertising during the
summer months that he should never
stop advertising.
My average Of success for each year
has not been more than 40 per cent,
and that Is really failure-but the 40
per cent. of doubling merchants who
were persuad ed to have faith in the
value Of advertising in summer, fall,
winter and spring months have been
very successful, am glad to say.
A man came into my Office the 9TH
or day to talk with me about advertis-
ing furs during the summer months.
He wanted me to conduct a cam
pa1gn for him-said he was convinced
that 1t would pay-that he believed a
campaign advertising furs all the year
round would enable a retailer to sell
fur garments at an average lower
price, because he would do more bust
ness-that the retailer would not be
compelled to sell at az enormous profit
for short winter season, thereby min
fmising the number of people that buy
furs-that he believed a big fur bust
ness was possible If furs should be
sold at reasonable proflt-not at a
profit Of from $3.50 to $500 on each
garment that costs the retailer from
800 up.
What he wants to- do can be done
successfully, think.
No average retail business can af.
ford to ever be out of the newspapers,
Ia this busy world, We are so easily
forgotten. We must keep ourselves
before the public all Of the time. We
cannot afford to be overlooked. If we
90 not advertise all Of the time. We
surely will be overlooked.

Using during the summer months, and
