A WORD TO THE STOREKEEPER

What kind of advertising are the manufacturers whose goods you handle doing for you?
 Are they advertising merely to create a DESIRE for their products?
 Or are they really trying to create a DEMAND?
 General publicity may create desire for an article, but the only kind of advertising that benefits the retailer is the kind that creates demand - the kind that brings customers direct to the store.
 The one effective way of link ing the retail store with nationally distributed merchan- disc is 10 use daily newspaper space.
 You, MT. Retailer. understand the value Of newspaper adver- Using.
 Next time you talk with a manufac cturer who wants to help you sell his goods through advertising tell him what you know about the efficiency of THE BULLETIN and other good newspapers.

has acquired a hunderd acres or more
OH Core sound between the towns of

interested have recently investigated
the possibilities for fig growing in this
section, and all were impressed and
expressed surprise that there had been
nc effort made in this line.
Fig trees thrive easily along the
North Carolina coast, and in some
places in the vicinity of Hatteras large
numbers of them are now producing
annually, although there has been
nothing done toward the marketing of
the fruit. 1t is said that if the indus

The Best Way to Cook Sweet Corn,

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside a contributor to the Garden
and Orchard department shows how
a family having a garden can arrange
to have sweet corn throughout a long
season, by making different paintings,
ranging from early to late. When it
comes to cooking corn, he gives the
following advice:
For cooking we have a way of our
own. We took a piece of galvanized
.,hail-screen (chose h~ail-screen because
it is stouter and sitter than the COM
nom, shaped it to fit in u wash
boiler and fastened blocks of wood I'M
der it to hold it about three inches
above the bottom of the boiler. Put
ting this in for a false bottom to hold
the ears of corn out of the water, we
fill in above the screen with we'll
cleaned and silked ears. We put on
a tight lid and let it boil. This cook
ing leaves, the OH a more natural
color than boiling, and is not so bad
about cooking the taste out if over
cooked"

SUCCESSFUL CREAMERY.
cooperative Effort Of Farmers Near
Hickory Doing Well and q CeIebra-
ton Is Held.

1ANAOe .
Some months ago an effort was
made to establish a cooperative
creamery in Monroe. but failed for
lack OF interest by enough farmers.
On Saturday the cooperative cream
ely company of Hickory held a cele-
bration at which a thousand people
were present. A press dispatch says
that the occasion was an unusual one.
The company has just moved into
its new brick building on one of the
principal streets of the city. Hereto
fore it has rented a small place In
one of the suburbs. The new blu Id
ing is thoroughly equipped with all
the modern machinery and conven-
fences suitable for the carrying on of
AN u~p-to-date creamery. The machin-
+ is driven by electricity and con-
n%ections are made w tn the city
line for all waste material. 1t has a
capacity of 5000 lbs. a day. At pres
entent the company is turning out
1 1000 lbs daily, and has a membership
among the farmers of the county of
217, having grown to this number In
three years from the original share
holders of only SO.
The day began by taking the peo-
pie through the plant and showing the
process which the cream undergoes
when it m in from the country
until it comes out a finished product
and ready for shipment. After every
one had been through the plant, the
crowd assembled at the park near the
railway station to hear the speaking
which begun at II o'clock.
Mr.. j. A. Conover, who has charge
of the dairy and farm department of
the Naval Academy at Annapolis, and
who was for some time in charge OF
the field work of the State Agricul-
tGral Department, was the principal
speaker of the morning. Mr.. ConoVer
is the man who really first started
the idea of a cooperative creamy in
Hickory. While in the State service
several years ago, he went among the
and interested them in better cattle
raising out of which has grown the
best creaery of the South.
He gave some very interesting sta
tistics concerning the amount of soil
fertility taken my many of the farm
products. For rs bushels of corn, 81
worth of soil fertility was removed;
80 bushels of oats removed $3.50 OF
soil fertility; and % bushels Of wheat
took 50. He gave these figures to
show the need of the use of fertilizer,
and went a step further to show that
ddiryng was one of the best paying
OF all occupations by giving out the
statement that it required 20 cents
worth of soil fertility to produce one
of butter.-MOnroe Journal.

4 Neglected Vegetable.

According to the current issue of
Farm and Fireside the American house
wife should learn much economy in
the use of fruits and vegetables from
her European sisters. For example,
the ripe cucumber which We ordinarily
throw away is in Denmark a much
desired delicacy, not only as boiled or
baked like squash, but also as made
into a sort of sweet pickle. Prepared
for the table after the manner of sum-
mer squash the r'pe cucumber is a de-
licious substitute for it, and is even
preferred by some people because of
it's more delicate fiber and flavor.
Anyone who has tried it will sympa-
thize with a Danish cook, who, return
ing from a country trolley ride, said:
at cut me to the heart to see Sc many
ripe cucumbers wasted in the fields"

DOWn on the Farm

While 1t is somewhat difficult to get
a stand of turn ps in September, ow-
ing to q dry weather which usually
prevails at this time, whenever we
can catch a good season during the
month, the turnips will really be of
better quality than those planted IL
august and VII keep better late into
the winter without becoming pithy.
For this reason, we always try to
PANT a nice patch of turnips between
the LIST and 18th of the month.
While the Purple Top White Globe.
seems to be the most popular variety
for general planting, it is a good idea
20 plant some of the Yellow Globe or
Yellow Aberdeen. The latter, espec-
ally, is excellent for winter, as it is
very firm and will stand more cold
than others. We have seen them
stand in a field nearly all winter, even
in the locality of Atlanta, where the
winters are often quite cold, and be
NJ, for use in February and March.
At this time there is usually a scarcity
nj turn1ps on the market, and they
VII sell readily at good prices.
Now is the time to SOW the salad
tCrnips, such as Seven Top and South
ern Prize. These may be sown broad.
cas- right through the late bean patch,
at the last blowing, and if you find
later that they are not growing off to
suit you, you can top dress them with
cotton seed meal. One is more de-
pendent upon salad turnips for greens
III the spring than any other variety.
as they grow deep in the ground and
make small roots, and it is very sell
dom they are killed by cold. The
larger truck farmers around. Atlanta
plant acres and acres for turnip salad
and every farmer should have a nice
patch in his garden, as very often they
supply the only available vegetable in
the early spring.
While We SOW these turnips as a
catch crop between late beans AMI
other vegetables, it is a good idea tt
plow and prepare a piece of land for
them and it very heavily.
We often mix the Seven Top turnip
seed and the Purple Top Globe one
half on such specially prepared land.
We can pull out the turnips and sell
them, punched, in the late fall and
early winter, and the salad turnips
will come IN and take the land in the
early spring, so that it e us =
double crop. We know of nothing
that will pay much better, as there is
practically no work attached to it, eX-
cept the planting and the gathering.

"a Little Farm Well Titled is the
Secret.

In the current issue OF Farm and
Preside, the national farm paper pub
llshed at Springfield, Ohio, w. F. Will
COX writes an article entitled, IAN
Acres Possibilities" Mr.. Wilcox is a
former New York newspaper man who
vent to Colorado for his health. He
is now a successful farmer. The fol
lowing is an extract from his article ::
ga little farm we'll TILED; aye,
that's the secret. We must wake up
OF the European farmers. Is it any
wonder that the best farms in every
locality of our country are coming
into the ownership of the foreign
born?
Arriving from a country where
land is prohibitive in price, with their
strong bodies, frugal habits and intel
ligence for intensive farming, they are
rapidly assuming control of American
soil where our native sons failed to
make good, either through Incidence,
ignorance or desire to live in the city.
There is the solution to the whole
problem of low crop averages as main
tanned by the native-born American
farmer, in the arrival of the foreign
er. Look about you wherever you
live, and you will find farms in the
possession of Russians, Germans,
Swedes, Japs, Poles and every other
race under the sun. Bringing knowl-
edge from those countr' es where land
is made to produce its highest boun-
ty, they are making good here and
bringing to shame the work, or is it,
rather, Incidence, of the native-born?
Perhaps, if enough of them get scat
tered around among the natives, we
shall he able to learn from them to do
a k::Me better, which, with the boun-
t fu1 harvests secured by them, will
cause our average yields and average
farm value of crops per acre to take
q decided step forward within the near
future"
