WOULD NAME EACH FARM
lege Says Farmers Should Ad-
Vertise More.

That it is just as necessary for the
farmer to advertise what he raises
and has to sell as it is for the mer-
chant to buy printers ink and space
in the newspapers, is the opinion of
H. w. Davis, who teaches farm ad-
vertising at the Kansas State Agricul-
tural College Mr.. Davis urges every
farmer to name his farm, buy letter
heads, label the cream cans and the
egg cases and to use the circular let
ter frequently.
Most farmers have not vet learned
the value of advertising their farm
or their farm products. Mr.. Davis be-
1ieves.
Farmers who produce stock on
farm scale have realized what adver-
Using will do for them, but most Of
the small farmers seem content to
wonder why they do not find a better
sale for their products" Mr.. Davis
said recently.
Have name for your FARM" says
Mr.. Davis. Put either your name or
the name of your farm, or both, on
your products. See that it is stenciIed
on your cream cans and your egg
cases. The manufacturer of your yVag-
ON placed his name on it, now why
don't you have your name on it? It is
a good ieda to adopt a seal, using the
name of your farm with it.
