ABOUT. ADVERTISING
Newspaper as a Salesman

The majority, Of retail store
customers, before. starting out on
shopping forays, study the news
paper advertisements. This habit
IS a great time saver.
The shopper escapes futile Wis
its to many stores, and needless
bOthering of clerks. by learning
in ,advanve where she is likely
to find what she wants. She
gives very little attention to the
places that fail to inform her as
TO their offerings. Many women
too, having become personally ac-
quainted with the store people
dislike to enter their places of
business unless they feel fairly
sure of buying. They avoid this
embarrassment by learning in
advance through the newspaper
where they can probably supply
their needs.
Thus it is that many sales are
practically made before the buy
er leaves her home. 1t has been
proved over and over again, that
the trade will pass sores with
a main street location that fail
to advertise, to hunt up poorly
located shops on back streest
that are well advertised. A mer-
chant might as well close his
shutters in business hours as to
fail to meet his competitors in the
field where they are doing the

! thing and more than that it is not
right. 1t is my wish to set before our
readers the actual condition of the
apple crop so far as | can learn it
from our exchanges. Any one who is
engaged in trying to solve such a
problem will be forced to the con
clusion that there is a class of men
who persistently misrepresent the
condition of the apple crop so as
force the price of apples down as low
as possible and then after the apples
have passed from the hands of the
growers a very different soug is sung.
The man who does not know this does
not know very much about such mat
ters. What | have learned about
such matters in former years makes
me suspicious about some of the
things hear about this years crop.
An apple dealer whom l met few
days ago told me that he had just
had talk with leading apple dealer
of the Atlantic Coast and that this
eastern man had assured him that
the apple crop this year would be
twice as large as that of last year.
This is the biggest estimate l have
yet seen or heard of. Now let me
give some other facts about the apple
crop. The Fruit Trade Journal of
New York, of September End, pub
fishes a statement on page of that
issue which is as follows: Jefferson
City, Mo-, August 28.-The Missouri
apple crop is about thirty per cent of
a normal yield, according to Col.
Richad Dalton, Chairman of the State
Board of horticulture. The yield, he
says, will put Missouri into the front
rank of the apple producing states.
Let the reader ponder on these two
statements that Missouri has 30 per
cent of a normal crop and is in the
front rank of the apple producing
states. Now try to harmonic such
statements with the one that this
years crop is twice as large as last
years. Iowa is referred to by some
as having a very large crop and that
the growers there are selling their
apples very low. Along with that
statement l wish to place statement
given to me few days ago from a
very intelligent and reliable lady
whom l have known for many years.
She had just returned from lengthy
visit in southwestern Iowa which is
the largest apple producing section
in that state. She says that the
drought has been so severe that the
apples in that part OF the state are
but little bigger than hulled walnuts
and were selling at $1.OO per barrel !
No wonder that such apples sell at
very low prices. We can not sell
such apples at all. [ still insist upon
it that our high grade extra fancy
apples will bring a good price this
fall. or at least ought to.

eggs can be found on the young apple
twigs during the winter and early
spring. They are Matched out by the
warmth of the sun. All those appear
ing in the spring and during the
summer are wingless females. They
do not lay any eggs at this stage till
the males appear in the fall. Then
how can they multiply so rapidly?
Here comes in one of the wonders of
nature. These wingless females are
what naturalists call parthogenetic,
which means virgin bearing. Without
coupling with the males, these
females can produce their young and
produce them alive, hence are called
viviparous. They can not travel
much at this stage for they are wing
less, but in the fall the winged ones
appear and can fly from tree to tree.
At the same time the winged males
appear and then the females cease to
be viviparous and instead of produc-
ing their young alive as in the sum-
mer, they produce eggs. On account
of the insects being winged at this
stage, they fly to the young apple
twigs and lay their eggs which do
not hatch out till the next spring.
These wingless females can be kill
ed by spraying with any sticky sub
stance like kerosene emulsion,
80 ~, Of hoIa oil
any other sticky substance that will
close up their breathing pores, pro-
vided you can reach them. There's
the trouble. The infected leaves
curl up and thus protect the insects.
The best time to counterfeit their
development is in the egg stage, in
the winter or early spring. Spray
ing at that time with a strong solu-
ton of kerosene or with the lime
sulphur wash renders the eggs non
fertile. A person can destroy the
eggs in the winter or early spring
with gIoved hand, in this way crush
ing them. This can be done only
on small trees and on small scale.
Where the sunni er sun gets very
hot, so that temperature of 90 to
100 or more in the shade is reached,
all kinds Of aphides are killed by the
heat. have spoken of this in former
issues of this paper and need not re-
peat it here. am surprised to learn
that the hot sun in the Tieton district
dip not kill the green aphis on the
young apple trees. 1t etfectually
killed them with us. Ants do not
kill the aphies as many people sup
pose but rather protect them for the
"honey dew" that exudes from them.
