it pleases in the way of advertising
rates. Every reader of the News has
cash value to Lawson.
l should say that each reader of
the News is worth two or three times
in real money what one reader is
worth to the American. The News
habit is of longer standing than the
American habit. The News was built
up slowly and solidly. The American
had mushroom growth, and has
failed to hold the good will of many
readers who had formed the habit.
For the same reason, a Tribune
reader is more valuable than an Elk
aminer reader. The Tribune is older,
the growth slower and solder.
1 should say that each reader of
the News is easily worth $25, and
probably more, to the owner of the
News. At $25 each the readers would
make the News worth nearly $10,-
100000. But it is said to earn around
100000 year. tfs
This may make it clear why news
paper publishers are willing to spend
thousands of dollars in coupon-elip-
ping contests and premiums. And
the more people they can get to
soliciting coupons, the softer it is for
the paper.

that are never read, then that news
paper is dishonest l imagine. some
newspapers have done that very
thing with their contests.
However, that is matter between
the publisher and his advertisers.
Newspaper reading is habit. Each
publisher tries to get as many peo-
pie as possible to form the habit of
reading his paper. He knows that
once the habit is formed, it is not
easily broken. s.,
1t is this habit that makes news
paper properties valuable. Each
reader who has formed the habit is
worth so much money to the pub
Usher. That is why publisher is
willing to pay money, by way of pre-
miums, to new subscribers to take
4 the paper for long period. He
wants to hold them long enough for
them to form the habit.
He can then sell his subscribers
to his advertisers. He can say: |
Here, Mr.. Merchant, so many peo-
pie read my paper every day. My
paper goes into so many homes. l
can carry your advertising announce
ments into so many homes and to SO |
many readers.
PUT your advertisement in my
paper and the people will read it.
Then they will come to your store
with their money and buy your
goods"
> Canvassers are paid to go from
house to house, soliciting new sub
scribers. All sorts of inducements
are offered to get new subscribers to
take the paper for a given period.
The more subscribers publisher can
buy with premiums the more possible
purchasers he has to sell to the adj
vertiser, and the higher he can make
his advertising rates. 1t is mere
matter Of business buying some
thing and selling it at a profit.

Wheat Crop Has a Rival.

The latest report of Secretary Wilson,
head of the Department of Agriculture,
covers a period of sixteen years and
shows a marvellous growth of the coun-
try.
The hon is one of the chief producers
of the county, it being estimated that
in the year 1912 she laid 100, ooo, 900
dozen eggs, and if an egg is worth only
l 3-4 cents, it gives a value of S357,00O,-
600, and if this is added to the value of
the fowls raised, the products of the
poultry industry on farms amount 10
about $500, 900 900, This nearly equals
the value of the wheat crop. The prof

before becoming available, and where

before becoming available, and where
moisture, heat and air are not present
fermentation will not go on, neither will
bacteria life, upon which so much de-
ponds, be active and develop. A plant
grows and produces its fruit by the abil-
fly of it's roots to spread through the
soil and gather food. In 4 hard, com
pact, shallow soil, lacking in moisture
and vegetable matter, the roots cannot
spread rapidly, consequently the paint IS
stunted from the want of food.
The application of yard manure, even
in small quantities, gives surprising re-
suits. Where soy beans, cow peas, or
other leguminous crops are plowed under
the response in yield is remarkable. This
is all the evidence necessary to convince
one that the soil needs vegetable to de-
velop active bacteria and aid in the
Transformation of plant food that may
not be in ar available form. Further, it
creates al ideal condition for the use of
commercial fertilizers and as this is the
principal defect in our soils, every effort
should be made to supply it.
The farmer who bears the foregoing In
mind; selects his seed with care, diver
SITES and cultivates his crops properly,
may use from 500 to 1000 pounds OF
commercial fertilizer per acre and secure
with little difficulty remarkable yields
under the most adverse Gil circumstances.
In former years the application of 200
pounds of commercial fertilizer per acre
was considered a heavy application, but
today successful farmers use from 600
to 1000 pounds per acre and regard it a
modest application. In fact, truckers
who once doubted the wisdom of using
200 pounds, now use from 1000 to 1000
pounds and find it highly profitable. 1t
is a mistake to use large applications of
commercial plant food, unless the condi-
tions of the soil are improved; however,
under proper conditions, heavy applica-
tions are recommended. Mississippi soils
offer wonderful opportunities, and if the
farmer is to take advantage of and en-
joy natures offer, a different system of
preparation and cultivation must be in
augurated and when this is done, the
tiller of the soil will have attained his
highest efficiency and become prosperous
