Watch Your Corn.

II. f. Hillenmeyer, in a card to
the public, calls attention to the
fact that owing to conditions last
year the corn was imperfectly ma
tured and therefore will be this
spring especially unreliable for
seed. He therefore urges all
farmers to test their seed corn,
suggesting the following method:
Let the planter take twenty ears
at random and from the middle of
each take five grains. Then let
him cover a plate or pan with
moist flannel, cotton batting or
sawdust and spred nicely the 100
grains covering with flannel kept
wet, and anywhere that a day
temperature of 80 degrees can be
maintained. The night tempera
ture may be lower. They must be
kept moist but not wet. In a
week he will know the growing
percentage to a nicely, and ex-
actly what to expect"

vertising systems of today are the
offspring or crude unlettered
methods of centuries ago, when
the herald with his trumpet and
the town crier with his bell we're
the principal advertising mediums
in use.
Many theories have been adj
vanced as to what has caused the
tremendous growth of advertising,
especially in recent years. 1t is
asserted by some that advertising
has merely been carried forward
as an accessory to modern pro-
gress in all lines of trade and in
dustry. Such a claim cannot be
substantiated by facts. for the
reason that year in and year out,
for the last half century, the
proportionate expenditures of
money for advertising. purposes
have exceeded by far that of any
other branch of business develop
ment.
1t is the contention of others
that. modern invention, improved
facilities of transportion. the tele-
graph and the telephone have
helped to raise advertising to its
present Importance in the business
world. True, everything that has
benefited modern civilization has
been of equal benefit to advertis-
ing, but underlying all natural and
subsidiary encouragement that adj
vertising has received, ard is re-
Giving, has been the public conf
dence in its economic value.
While there still remains mis-
guided few who insist that adver-
Using is all lung power;;" with
no sound basis or economic foun-
dalton, the public at large, the
buyer and the consumer of every
thing, from daily necessities to the
most costly luxuries, turn to mod
ern advertising for their many and
varied needs.
Advertising is not the result of
progress. 1t has made progress.
Advertising is not the result of
modern invention, because it has
been the channel through which
all improvement, betterment and
achievement have been fostered and
popularized. 1t occupies today
position equal in importance to
that of any factor in modern civil
ization, and comprehensive
knowledge of its use and abuse is
as necessary as is the rudimentary
education required by the com
nunity.
So great is it's scope and so
numerous are its demands and
benefits that it would be impossi
ole, except through careful, con-
,cientious and systematic study, TO-
'olve the many and perplexine
problems in the buying, selling
md distribution of advertising.
No phase of modern business re-
luires so keen and individual an
analysis as does the subject of ad
Vertising. In nearly every other
inc of business a mistake can be
ectified before there is total loss.
An advertising loss is a dead loss
1t must be charged up to expert
ence.
