county demonstration agent Gar
penter was this morning busy sending
out to the farmers of Forest county
copies of circular No. 447 issued by the
Bureau of Plant Industry of the United
States, addressed to agents and DEM
onstrators in the boil weevil territory"
The body of the circular is as fol-
lows:
"The comparatively mild winter has
been favorable to the overwintering
of the boil weevil, so it behoyes all
farmers to take every precaution to be
prepared to offset the rayages Of this
pest, The necessary steps for ilssalksiisg
successful cotton crop under weevil
conditions arc:
~. Clear UP and burn all rubbish on
ditch banks, hedge-rows and other
places about the field.
2. The field selected for cultivation
in cotton should be we'll drained
8. Prepare a good seed bed before
planting.
4. Secure seed of an early maturing
variety and of high vitality.
5. Delay planting until all danger
of frost is past and the soil is warm
enough to produce rapid termination
and growth Extra early or extra late
planting is not recommended.
6. On most soils the judicious use
of commercial fertilizers will be found
profitable and will hasten the maturity
of the crop. r.
Z. The use of the section harrow
before planting and after planting, and
again as soon as the plants are up to
stand, is advised.
8. Practice intensive and shallow
cultivation of the crop. 1t is better to
continue cultivation until the cotton
begins to open.

METHODS OF ADvER-
TISING GOODS IN CHINA

The following views are submitted
upon the methods Of American manu-
facturers and exporters of advertising
in China. The statements are based
on the writer's actual experience:
The most effective way to sell goods
in China. is to send direct solicitors,
which the Japanese the British and
the Germans are already doing with
effective results. This statement has
often been made by consuls in various
parts Of the world. 1t is especially ap-
plieahle to China. The Chinese are ac-
customed TO bargaining and it is con
trary to all their experience to do
business otherwise than face to face
with seller or purchaser. If the cost
Of sending travellers to the far east IS
too great, money should not be wasted
in sending th.ther costly advertising
matter printed in English.
If advertising be attempted for
China it should be done in the Chinese
language. The British adopted this
method and publish in London and dis
tribute from Shanghai the Chinese
Trade Register The publication is
filed with advertisements of import
ant British exports, among which are
a few American firms. A man of my
acquaintance, whose former connec-
tion with a consulate in China gave
him ample opportunity to know the
ineffective methods of advertising
adopted by American exporters to
China, has returned to the United
States to inaugurate a similar publiea
ton He has arranged to print his
publication in Chinese at San Fran
cisco and distribute it through an
agency at Shanghai to 10000 or 10000
leading merchants and importers
throughout China. Before any large
results can be obtained the Chinese
will need to be gradually educated to
the point of attaching full Importance
to advertising matter of any kind

IDEAL CLIMATE FOR
N.E.A. CONVENTION
Especial to the Silver state.) J


SALT LAKE CITY, May 17.-Heat
need hold no terrors for delegates and
visitors to the National Education as
sociation convention to be held in this
city July 5 to IL. Sweltering humidi-
ty is never known. Geographical situ-
alton of the city gives Salt Lake all
the midsummer advantages of mour.
tains and seashore. At the city's back
door are canyons and peaks of the
Wasatch range, at its front door the
Great Salt Sea-one of the wonders of
the world.
Elaborate arrangements have been
made by the local COMMITTEES and citi-
zens generally for entertainment of
\. f. A. visitors. The state Of Utah
has appropriated $1,000 and funds
have been secured from other sources
to augment the entertainment fund.
There will be sight-seeing trips to all
the points of interest in the citv. to
Saltair beach, for invigorating bathing
IN a highly seasoned lake where even
those who cannot swim can float; to
Bingham, the greatest copper mining
camp in the land, and other interest
my pidces.
Besides natural and other outdoor
attractions, of the convention city.
there are many things of interest to
the visitor. There is the famous pipe
organ in the Tabernacle, where the
general sessions of the convention viii
be held. The tones of this instrument
are remarkably beautiful and will lie
heard daily during the sessions Ter.
thousand persons can be comfortably
seated in the Tabernacle and every
word uttered on the rostrum can be
heard distinctly in any part Of the
great building. Thus none of the
points to be brought out by the not
ables who address the convention II
be lost in the telling.
Agreements have been made with
the local N. f. A. committee by man
ayers of all the hotels in the city not
to increase rates during the conven.
tion.
