How Would 1t Work Here?

Laws which have been passed in a
number of States enable farm owners
to have their farm name copyrighted
by the payment OF dollar fee. Too
many go on the principle that it is
better not to name the farm until GER
tain improvements and clearing up
have been done. The writer holds it
a better plrn to put the name OF the
farm on neat signboard at the front
of the premises. Then if the condi
ton of the premises is not on pad
with the dignity of the name chosen
there is constant incentive to make
it so.

IRRIGATE TO INCREASE YIELD
Many Sections Where it Could be
Probably Used by Farmers.

In the eastern part of the great
plains, where the rainfall is not large,
but ordinarily sufficient to mature
crops, there are many localities where
irrigation could be practically used to
raise the yield of field crops or TO pro
mote the growth of trees, vegetables,
fruits and ornamental plants in n
chards and gardens and about the
homestead. As the farmers III this re
gion accumulate capital they will un-
doubtedly resort more and more to If
rigation as means Of increasing their
income, securing more of the comforts
OF life and making their home sur
roundings more attractive.
The same thing is true of tie Pacific
coast In the Willamette Valley IN
Oregon, for example, while the annual
rainfall is abundant, there is a long
dry period in the summer Many
crops which would grow best at this
season are generally hindered by
drought The agricultural experiment
station at Corvallis has been studying
this problem in cooperation with the
Department OF Agriculture and has al
ready demonstrated the usefulness of
irrigation for alfalfa. clover, potatoes,
and other crops. Business men IN
Portland, Oregon. nave become 50
we'll convinced that irrigation i'll west
ern Oregon is profitable. that they are
now developing a large irrigation pro
Ject near Salem. Vast areas i'll the
Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys
in Californit were for many years
farmed without irrigation. But after
long hesitation and much active oppo-
sition the great wheat farmers adopt ]
irrigation as profitable insurance
against drought and. once convinced
OF its benefit, spent millions of dollars
in developing and managing irrigation
systems.
Their experience will doubtless be
repeated in many regions in the Uni
ted States as increasing population
and more complete utilization OF our
agricultural lands raise the price If
land and extend the market for high
priced crops until the cost OF install
ing and running irrigation plants vii

yields per acre which irrigation is sure
To bring in response to considerable
present demand for information along
this line, and in preparation for the
great future of irrigation III the humid
region. the irrigation service OF the
office Of experiment stations Of the de
partment of agriculture is making a
broad study of the irrigation require
ments and possibilities of different re
gions and is seeking to discover the
most economical and effective meth
DDS for the utilization of available wa
Ter supplies for this purpose.
\ large share of the future agricul-
tural property of the United States
will depend on the reclamation and
thorough utilization of land through
drainage and irrigation. Development
in both these lines should go hand N

FUTURE OF IRRIGATION
Subject Not Given Attention 1t Real
ly Deserves.

In this age OF speculation the m1n
who attempt to launch out in several
directions is bound to fail sooner Of
later He who sets out to do one
thing, and does it WELL is the man who
succeeds. This is true not only in
business and professional work, but
on the farm as we'll. The successful
farmer is the one who devotes him
self to the particular line OF agricul-
ture for which he finds himself
adapted
There is one subject which has not
been divided as it should have bee1,
because OF the lack of attention which
ii has secured, and that is the subject
of irrigation. Degrees are still offered
in irrigation engineering, which in
cludes the entire subject of both the
dam and canal construction, technique
and the application of water to the
soil and the drainage of the water
from the soil.
In every case there is right and i
wrong way to irrigate, and right and
a wrong way to apply the water, and
to know which is the right requires
special study just the same as does
the knowledge of how to produce a
| ,200-pound beef from a grade Here
ford steer. In fact, the mastering of
the irrigation ART is a great deal more
difficult than most subjects, because
so little thought has been given to ir
rigation. and so little of real moment
has been written about it, However,
this may be, we need rot sit idly by
and make no move to work out better
methods OF handling our irrigation
water, just because there is no one 10
show us just what to do in every case.
That is all the greatest reason why We
should set 10 and attack the problem
Tor ourselves. The men who get
thorough knowledge of this question
today are going to be the teachers OF
tomorrow
lance irrigation plays in our agricul-
ture we have only 10 consider what
are farms are without it. The arid
farm is limited practically to the
growing OF wheat, while the same
farm by the aid OF irrigation has un
limited possibilities. An arid farmer
does exceptionally we'll il he clears ten
dollars per acre, while the irrigation
farmer with an ordinary crop OF oats
can clear sixty dollars an acre on the
same kind OF soil The increase. then,
OF 900 per cent, is due not to the farm
er nor to the soil. brit to the irrigation
water. thus making the water five
times as valuable as the soil. And
with the more intensive farming thus
made possible. the returns due to the
water sometimes reach fifty times the
returns from an equal area OF arid
land
If the water is so valuable why is ii
that so little attention is paid to rs
measurement and distribution? When
a piece of land changes hands, h"
buyer never thinks of accepting II
without first having it carefully sur
veyed and an abstract made OF it. yet
he is willing to accept the water Tor
that land just it comes. or just as
the water master. if there be one, secs
1T to give it to him Many times he
is not satisfied, and still he takes no
steps towards the correction of his
condition,

Good Advice Improved Upon.

When you do circular advertis. ing" says the Mail Order Journal, be particular about it. Do it as neatly and artistically as if you were high grade milliner advertising a spring opening. Mail such matter in a closed envelope of good quality with two. cent stamp attached"
 That is good advice, but the Phil. adelphia Record improves upon it. "When you are about to do circular advertising" says the Record, first count up the cost of the envelopes Of good quality and the tWo-cent stamps and the paper and the printing and the addressing, and then get adver- Using rates from the best daily news. paper in the territory you wish to cover.
 Compare the number of people your circulars would reach (remem- bering that most of them would be unread) with the number the news paper advertisement would reach Compare the relative influence ot the circular and the home newspa, per. When you have done these things you will save your two-cent stamps and let the newspapers pay for the transmission of your meg sages."

DOESN'T HOLD GOOD TODAY
Barnum Idea That People Delight in Being Humbugaed ReIegated to
 Scrap Pile.

But few years ago the popular idea of advertising was a method for catching the public. In these days the average advertiser regarded the buyers as so many suckers; the business of advertising didn't take honesty and integrity into account The old idea, to which a few still cling, was summed up by Barnum, who said "the people like to be hum- bugged" Those who still advertise with the idea that the people delight in being humbugged have confused notoriety and advertising, and they have put a low estimate on the intel ligence of the people.
 The idea that the people delight in being humbugged, the idea that ad- yertisng consists in catching the peo- pie and the idea that successful business can be established on false pretense, have been relegated to the scrap pile along with lot of other old-fogy ideas which were designed to confuse the people while their pockets were being searched, says the Lafayette Qnd) Journal.
 Modern advertising has been placed on a business basis-on an honest basis-on a scientific basis. Certain elements of value enter into it's mak- ing and the advertiser who has stud jed the subject knows that advertise ing Is not a matter of chance. II six inch advertisement costs cer- tain amount that cost must be backed by certain amount of circulation, proved and sworn to, and the adver- tiser knows that the circulation is of value to him. Scientific adver Using is the only way, because it gives to the advertiser exact knoWl- edge as to what he is buying. A successful merchant believes that he should be equally honest in deal ing with the public. The publisher who builds right should apply the honesty test to his advertising space, just as the lne.ss4...4t who has grown away from tie idea of humbugging the people, demands honesty in his advertising expressions.
 Advertising space is a business commodity, the va'ne of which is de- termined as definitely as any com modity that enters into the mer- chants business. Rules: governing the value of advertising space, are so well defined that there Is no reason for mistaking its worth and no occasion for. expecting it to be. dis counted.. ' - ifi ! For many years advertising space was misunderstood, misrepresented and greatly abused. But demands of the business world have made it the most exact commodity of the mar ket. The scientific basis on which it has been placed is a part of the modern advertising plan, business plan that contemplates honest deal ing. The merchant who puts honesty into his advertisements is endorsed by the newspaper or publication that applies the same principle to it's ad- vertising rates, and the newspaper or
 publication that recognizes the square deal and sells it's space on the basis
 of worth should be endorsed by the
 merchant who is doing business on
 that basis.

An Advertisement and An Editorial.

An Advertisement and An Editorial.
 in the current issue of Judicious Advertising is an advertisement which says:
 You can talk to all classes, all the people, all the time, only by using street car advertising"
 And on another page is an editorial which says:
 The most interesting thing to an advertiser is to know who reads the publication-who will see the message he prepares with such care. Are the subscribers and readers persons who will not only be interested in the message, but will be able and willing to buy what he offers for sale? Be- cause unless this be the case it is fooHshness for an advertiser: to- spend tine and money in sowing seed on unfertile ground
 The editorial is right. The advsr- fiser does not want to talk to "all' classes. He wants to talk to tho buy Ing classes; that's what he pays fog,

NEAR TRAGEDY
At THE LIBERTY

For just a moment last night it APP
peared as though grim tragedy was
to stalk behind the scenes of the Lib
erty theater and claim one of the
Juvenile Bostonians for his victim.
During the wait between the acts the
girls were fooling about in the usual
way when one of the suggested play
ing cowboys.
Alice Kelley was chosen as the
victim" put on a box and rope
hanging from up above placed round
her neck. The usual mimic stunts
we're gone through and the victim, -
whose hands were luckily not bound
to her sides in the conventional NOV
ing picture manner, played up to her
part.
Suddenly the box on which she was
standing slipped from under her feet
and she was left dangling in midatr
with the rope stretched taut. A
scream went mp from the girls end a
rush was Immediately made to rescue
the unfortunate child.
Luckily there had been no slack On
the rope and the jerk had not been
too sudden or there would have been
a tragedy. AS it was the rope left
big red mark round Miss Kellyrs
neck and for some time afterward
she was shaking like a leaf Mrs.
