WILL TEACH HOW 10
WRITE ADS FOR FARMS

A class in farm advertising has
been contemplated for some time at
the Kansas agricultural college and
now the faculty has decided to offer
that class next term. 1t is to be
taught by H. w. Davis, an instruc-
tor in English, who has had much
practical experience in writing
farm ads.
The new parcel post delivery has
enabled the farmer to market his
goods in the city. But there is a SER
ious drawback to this. The farmer
Is not known by the town popula-
tion, which prefers to purchase its
groceries and produce from the city
grocers, whom 1t knows and can
get back" at in case he receives ur-
satisfactory goods. The city peo-
pie don't know the farmer and SO
are afraid to purchase from him "at
long range"
This course is intended to teach
the farmer how to advertise and
build up a name for honesty and
good quality and make him easily
able to compete with the city gro
Ger along certain lines, by means Of
the parcel post. Some ingenuity has
already shown in course in farm
and home English in which the
students, were asked to write ads. Il
Is thought that this is a forward
step in the education Of the farmer
and that great benefit will secure
for the coming generation in mar
keting by parcel post. a.

WHY cow TESTING
ASSOCIATION IS GOOD
George Lenhert, Dickinson County
Before State Dairy Association

The cow testing association gives
us an opportunity to give the grade
COW a rating. You all no doubt have
learned that the good COW or the
poor COZ 81 like the letter x" in
q sa-an unknown quantity. !
have had men tell me that they had
q good COW to sell, and she gave five
gallons Of milk per day. / would ask
them how they knew and they told
me that she gave 2h gallon pail
full twice day. Now in the first
place q IN gallon pail, SO called
does not hold az gallons. In the
next place it is considered full when
1t is two inches from the top. And
lastly, 1t probably has an inch OF
foam on it which usually does not
test very high in fat. But when you
have your cows tested by a disin-
terested person you can put your
finger on those figures and say she
gave so many pounds of milk in
December and so many pounds OF
fat, and 1t tested SO much per cent
fat. Now this is something that we
who have few cows to sell. or who
would like to buy few, appreciate
very much.
Then again the testing association
not only tests out the cows, but 1t
also tests out the brains Of the
owners and feeders. That is the
reason that some of them want to
drop out or do not join in-they
dread the light.
Still another benefit of the asso-
citation is to have the advice of the
tester in the handling and feeding
of cows. This is no small item. ]
know that although our tester at
times probably felt that his advice
was not esteemed, we received much
benefit from 1t. And to his credit
be It said that II one telling was
not enough he would tell us twice.
Another benefit to be derived
from keeping records is to learn the
result Of feeding different feeds. For
instance: Always before this the
cows were favored by having some
corn in their feed. This year they
have to be satisfied with Ko-Pres-
Ko cake and you can readily see If
they are doing as well on the cake
alone as If they got some corn in
their feed.
Then again the members Of an
association derive much benefit
from an exchange Of ideas. At one
Of our meetings 1t was suggested by
some one to have an experience
meeting. and it is surprising what an
antidote that is for EGO" And I
presume that even If you have new
or met that gentleman" you ha7e
all heard about him and know that
he is an arch enemy to all progress.
