Hsrs 10 Case illustrating hew Some
Merchants Overlook chanes
to DO More 5usinsss.

"A merchant in small town who
saw a farmer receive goods at d rail-
road station from a mail order house
told him he could have sold the same
goods for less money and saved the
freight besides. The farmer asked
him why he didn't let people know
Though he had taken the home paper
regularly for years, he never saw n
line In It that such goods were to be
had. The mail order house came after
the trade and got 1t.
Merchants and manufacturers who
fail to advertise what they have
should not expect to compete with
those who do. The very best articles
at the lowest prices will be passed by
when people are unaware of their ex-
istence. Probably IL the merchant had
advertised and the farmer had bought
from him he wouldn't have known
that his advertisement had brought
the business anyway, and SO wouldn't
have given 1t credit. Publicity often
reaches much farther than is out

Farm Advice and Suggestion

Followed Use Of Harrow on Part OF
Field and Gave Hint to Farmer.
1t Is a well known fact that ground
which is kept loose on top will evap-
crate much less water than soil
which is packed on top. The mois-
ture which escapes into the air is
absolutely lost, SO far MS the plants
growing in that particular field are
concerned. and II anything can be done
to hold this moisture in the ground SO
that 1T may reach the roots Of the
growing crop 1t is, of course, the thing
to strive for and Will prove a benefit
to the plant growing In tho field.
Some years ago one Of the repre-
sentatives from the Colorado Agricul-
tural college was visiting an up to date
farmer in the country, and the farmer
showed him a field of wheat which Ill
lustrated this narrowing in a remarlsa-
bic manner, says the Farm Progress.
A storm had passed over that section
Of the country, and about one and one
half inches of rain had fallen 1t had
been dashing shower and had pack
ed the surface Of the ground consid-
erably. The grain was from four to
six inches high, and the farmer had
been advised to harrow the field to pre-
vent evaporation. he sent his hired
man to do the work, who hitched on
to the harrow and dragged 1t diagonal
~ across the field Of wheat and then
around the outside of the field some
five or six times. He then became dis
gusted with the work because 1t APP
peared that he was dragging out so
much grain and reported the fact to
the farmer, who ordered the work dis
continued.
BY tho time the grain had headed the
marks Of the harrowed sections could
be plainly seen. The place where it
had been dragged diagonally across the
field produced grain at least eight or ten
inches higher than that on either side
which had not been narrowed, and
along the edges of the field the grain
was In like condition The grain on
that portion of the field that had not
been touched by the harrow was not
to be compared with the narrowed
grain either in appearance. size Of
plants or heads Of grain.

The process Of writing consists Of
