A LITTLE LESSON IN SELLING
The Difference Between Stopping and
startIng-AvoIdlng the Mega.
tive Forces.

The other day I was talking with a
sales manager about a line Of business
which he should have-his stuff would
do the concern better service than any
other-but somehow he could not get
next" to the right person.
AS l happened to know something
about this concern, I asked him whom
ne had seen.
"Why, Mr.. W.. of COURSE"
Are you sure he is the right man?'
l asked, and his reply was, HE is the
man who keeps me from getting the
business, any way" And l said to
him:
Mr.. W. is like the brakes on an
engine. They will stop the machine,
but they will not move the load a sin.

Some concerns think 1t wise to sur
round themselves with their negative
forces-sort of projections against the
possibilities Of advancement.
las a matter Of fact, I know that
Mr.. W could not give you that bust.
ness In a thousand years, but he can
keep you out of 1t until you find a way
to get around him.

go right straight to Mr.. c. with It

ADVERTISING BY THE BANKER
Local Newspapers Should Be Used
First, Says Magazine Expert
In Address.

when the Banker Advertises" was
the subject of an address delivered be-
fore the Bankers Ad association of
Pittsburg, Pa, by Charles E. Jones of
the Cosmopolitan Magazine. Mr..
Jones said in part:
:" believe that the greatest in,
crease in advertising In newspapers
and magazines in the United States in
the next five years will be made by
institutions Of a financial nature. Just
as automobile dealers suddenly ava
kened to the value of established pub
locations, SO financial men are even
now beginning to understand what
may be done in a dignihed way.
II have often been asked to advise
financial men how to advertise, and I
give you now my main ideas for what
they may be worth. The banker goes
to his trade paper for his publicity, he
goes to the magazines for prestige,
and he goes to the newspaper for
money. No banker should attempt to
advertise outside of his own city until
he Is conducting an intelligent and
forceful campaign in the newspapers
of his own town. Then, when he has
laid a solid foundation, he can bring
to his bank by means Of national ad-
,ertising a prestige which is of meal
.:ulable value"

Biq Cherry Orchard,

One of the largest cherry orchards
in the country comprises 81 acres of
land, located near Wichita, Kan. The
orchard contains $500 trees, only a
small proportion of which has come
into bearing. The owner, C. H. Dough
erty, writes: Cherry trees are easily
cared for in this climate and do not
become damaged by early or late
frosts as most fruit trees. In two
years after planting a cherry tree will
yield fruit in large quantities, where
a year tree, if planted, takes three to
five years before a profitable crop is
secured. Apple trees require at least
five years before coming to bearing
age in this climate. There is a great.
err demand for cherries than any other
fruit in proportion to the supply"

in water in order to kill bacteria or

in the box about three inches deep and

A piece Of good muslin upon which
two inch squares have been drawn
with an indelible pencil and numbered
to correspond with the sections and
individual ears to be tested, is pulled
tightly over the sawdust and tackled
securely to the sides of the box. The
kernels of corn taken from ear No. 1

gives better yields than the two
rowed varieties. Manchuria Is the
best strain Of six-rowed barley for
North Dakota. Two-rowed varieties
are usually weak strawed, lodge bad
ly and give low yields. If allowed to
become a little over-ripe the headl,
break off and are lost. White HUI
less and beardless barley Is grown in
the dry parts of the country as a hay
crop, and 1t is a very satisfactory one.
When these varieties are grown for
hay they should be allowed to form
the heads and the grains partly filled
before cutting. When cut shortly
after the kernels begin to form the
straw will be of value for feed and
the grain will largely take the place
Of a grain ration.
Barley makes a good crop in a ro-
tation when handled as previously in
Dictated to keep the weeds In check
and put the soil in good condition;
otherwise 1t has no greater value
than any other grain crop, except that
the land may be plowed earlier in the
fall. 1t makes the best nurse crop
with which to seed grasses and
legumes. When used for this purpose
it should be seeded at the rate of one
to one and a half bushels per acre.
The culture for barley is practically
the same as that for wheat and oats
when grown in an ordinary rotation.
Land intended for barley should not
be MANFRED too heavily as 1t causes
the straw to grow rank and lodge.
The SHUTS are the principal diseases
Of barley and may be prevented by
treating with a mixture Of one pound
of commercial formalin to forty gal
Ions OF water. Rust very seldom dam
ages the barley crop to any extent.
The growth OF barley Is rapidly ex.
tending in North Dakota at the pres
ent time, and this increase in acreage
is due to the fact that some change
must be made In the farming and this
Is considered the most simple. How
ever, barley will become a permanent
crop and will be much more widely
cultivated in the future than 1t is at
the present time. The change thus
far made is but temporary and must
be made more extreme before a per-
manent system of agriculture Is Sc
cured. Grasses and legumes and cul.
tivated crops must be introduced be-
fore a satisfactory rotation Is secured.

COMMON SQUARE BOX TESTER

(By R. A. MOORE.)

Many devices have been recommend
ed for the testing of seed corn, nearly
all of which have more or less merit.
However, after using many different
kinds of testers, we find that the com
mon square box tester, shown in the
figure below, is the best.

chap that kept Venezuela and the
world in ferment for two Or three
years. is in Portugal planning a new
revolution through which to recap

ammunition at Tenerife, awaiting the
first opportunity to return to Vens-

is getting ready for her centennial
celebration. which will begin on July

America will send representatives.
