Some Interesting
Figures Showing

Figures showing the profit in the
feeding of fall pigs TOR pork produc-

periments conducted by r. c. Ashby

Eleven pigs, farrowed early in DC.

From the time of weaving until they
were sold the pigs had free access
to self feeders, receiving therefron
corn, shorts, oil meal, and tankage.
These feeds were kept separate and
each pig made it's own selection. No
milk was fed. The test closed May
20, after AS days, the weight of the
group having increased from 4lo
pounds to 2243.3 pounds. The hogs
were sold after the close of the test
for $685. per hundred.
In the course of the test the eleven
pigs ate 6613 pounds of shelled corn,

of Oil meals, and sos pounds OF tank.

meal at s36 and tankage at $50 per

was 1927 40, leaving a balance OF

the price paid for the corn by the
hogs.

japanese Seek
Land In. Panama
Concession Is Said to Have Been OBJ.
tanned At Atlantic End Of
the Canal

Washington, Aug. 2l-lnvestigation
OF reports from Panama that $4,000
acre land concession at the Atlantic
end of the canal has been secured by
a Spaniard named Fernandez, presum'
ably for Japanese interests, was or
dered today by Secretary Lansing.
Rumors of a sililar nature have been
common since the canal was well un'
der way, but It was not till several
months ago that they reached a well
defined outline. At that time 1t was
commonly believed in diplomatic cir
cles that private japanese shipping in
torests were seeking land through
Spanish Intermediates to establish a
base for storing coal at lower rates
| than could be had from the American
government monopoly base. So far as
is known nothing definite came OF
that plan.
The present reports are that Fer
nanzez, Havana agent for Japanese III
terests, secured 10000 acre land
concession through the activity of Ra
mon valdes, whose recent election &c
the presidency of Panama may posi-
bly, be disputed by the United States
because of alleged frauds and coer
cion.
Admiral Concas of the Spanish ma
Wy, selected by the Panama govern
ments as umpire to settle the dispute
with the, United States over the pur
chase price Of canal property, Is al
legged to have given valuable inform
alton about the canal itself.

THE DEAD TOWN.

Did you ever 90 into q town and, AZ
you stepped from the train, have it
strike you suddenly that the town was
dead? Have you ever had town de-
scribed to you as dead" twon? Have
you ever stopped to analyze just what is
meant by these words dead town." In
the last analysis they mean just one
tbing-and that is that the merchants
Of the town don't advertise. A dead
.:.wr has certain positive aspects of de-
mig, which are as bald as q piece Of
crepe hanging ont he door of a private
house The stores seem to be merely ex-
listing. Their shelves are covered with
apparently unstable goods. The store
keepers seem to be vying w;th each
other to see which will win the first
Prize as the twon crouch. If you talked
with them they knocked the town, they
knocked business, they knocked the mail
order house. They were continually
complaining that other people did bust
ness and made money but that they
didn't seem to be able to sell anything
They guessed it was the town Yes,
that was 1.-THE town. If you asked
that merchant if he advertised, he would
have looked at you with nmazement
What was the use of advertising when
business was so bad? People who had
money to spend, he would tell you, were
sending it to the mail order houses. No,
he would say he didn't ADVERTISE. He
wouldn't throw good money. after bad
On the other hand, go into e live town
and what will you see? The mer-
chants have attractive displays in their
stores. The daily or weekly newspapers
are filled with big announcements of
special sales or low priced goods. They
are not afraid of the mail order houses
because they have the same means to
reach the people-advertising chat
makes the mail order house great. The
merchants have their local association
for mutual help, and behind the associa-
ton the local newspaper is pushing,
pushing, pushing. Everybody is work
ing and everybody is happy and boost
ing. If you want a live town get behind
the newspaper and the newspaper will do
the rest. Forget the timeworn arguments
that the paper is a dead one. The
paper is alive enough if the people are
alive. The surest test of q live town
is a live newspaper, and a newspaper
can't be alive unless the town boosters
do their share.

Modern Farmer Should Use Publicity,

A campaign to induce Kansas farmers
to give their farms names is being con-
dacted by Fl. w. Davis, assistant pro-
lessor of English at the Kansas State
Agricultural college. Professor Davis
points out that a farm name has an
economic value and that the modern
farmer is q business man and should
name his place of business just as gro
GERS, druggists and other business men
do.
! 'In choosing name for the farm, give
it an appropriate one,' he says. Don't
call an SO-acre farm a ranch, or chicken
farm some name that would imply that
dairy farm say SO; if it ID poultry
farm, say so; or if your speciality is
bees say so, for this is an effective
means of publicity

the location of the farm, he points out,
such as an especially beautiful rock
formation, creek running by the farm
