PROMISE OF PROTECTION COMES TO THE
AMERICAN FARMER.

It is announced at the request of the food ad-
ministration the federal trade commission will
investigate the alleged dishonest methods of
food dealers who order perishables from dis
lance, and, IL the price goes down before the ar
rival of the goods, reject the goods as inferior in
quality, thus forcing the seller to take reduced
price or litigate. If there is any foundation for
the common reports among farmers, dishonest
practices of this kind have been going on for
the last quarter of century and perhaps longer
The direct result of such practices is to deprive
the producer Of his legitimate return for his
crops, thus discouraging production in the future
and limiting him in farm operations by denying
him capital with which TO finance his business
The back TO the farm" movement has had no
greater impediment than the general under
standing that in one way or another the farmer
is deprived Of the proper reward for his labors.
The federal trade commission has broad pow
ers. IL has plenty of money. Victor Murdoch,
who has been assigned to the investigation of
this particular evil declares that he will devote
his entire time to the job II necessary 'and put
some of these war leeches behind the bars" That
is the right kind of talk. II is pretty much the
same kind Of talk we have had from a multitude
of other boards and commissions that tell what
they are going to do, thereby getting many col
umns of publicity and an unearned reputation
for efficiency. Murdoch has expressly made this
job his own, acting for the whole commission"
Judging by the vigor of his language in announc-
ing his plans, one might reasonably conclude that
he is determined TO deliver the goods" or resign
his office. He occupied half page in the "Offi-
cial Bulletin" telling what he Is going to do TO the
dishonest privateers who rob the farmers. There
is no doubt whatever that the Bulletin will be
willing TO devote half page to the publication Of
the names of the men he convicts and the pen
alties imposed.
Meanwhile. the farmers Of the country will
wait mpatiently 10 see whether that list includes
the names of any Of the food buyers with whom
thoV
past. They will not be interested in excuses or
explanations-they will want fulfillment of the
promise TO put the dishonest profiteers behind
the bars.

Is QUICKER. SURER AND Is QUITE THE
LEAST EXPENDITURE.

News publicity Is not advertising. II cannot
produce the same effect. Put selling language
In the news columns and IL Is no longer news
and is no longer selling talk. News is not intend
co 10 sell-it describes vital event. current
or local happening. News Is ordinary CONVERSE
ton. Display advertising Is n brass band. Pub
lcity did not make national success Of the re-
cent Red Cross campaign. In progressive cities
private sources raised money for local news
paper observation-disclosures big space, big type,
big noise-put across big
In New York twenty-five thousand dollars
was spent in the newspapers for display adver-
Using, the money being obtained through private
sources. The result was that over a million dol
lars was raised that same week. There was no
anxiety or worry about IL after the newspaper
advertising campaign had been started-there
was merely confidence that the public would re-
spond 'nobly" The big wallop" lies in display
advertisements. They get TO" the crowd with
the least possible risk of being overlooked. The
power TO attract, the appeal and the clinchng
argument Is there in big type, and the rest Is
easy.
The Canadian government has done wonders
in promoting war campaigns with newspaper
advertising. Uncle Sam could try II with the as
surance Of being equally successful. The news
papers are patriotic and are ungrudgingly giving
away space for newspaper publicity" for every
cause helping TO win the war. But they know
and advertising men know--that display adver-
Using does the business quicker, surer and at
the least expenditure of energy and cost.

WHERE THE MIDDLEMAN GETS INTO THE
GAME WITH PROFIT.

From the farm TO the table" has two sides
An Idaho farmer relates that he tried the plan
and has abandoned il. He writes a letter 10 his
county paper that he had n hundred bushels OF
potatoes 10 sell and advertised in the city papers,
advising the customers there Of the fact and
quoting low price in order TO move" the po-
tatoes quickly.
He experienced much disappointment, how
ever Instead of selling the potatoes he received
a slew of inquiries wanting TO know what variety,
how large, whether he couldn't send peck by
parcel post as a sample or a bushel TO be paid
for If all right.
None of the inquirers knew anything at all
about the different varieties of potatoes. Also
that size had nothing 10 do with the flavor, and
that all reasonable sizes "eat" equally well. So
II would seem that the ultimate consumer is
sometimes rather unreasonable.
SIN talking with Others" said this farmer,
''who have tried 10 go directly to the consumer,
all seem 10 experience the same difficulty, and
as long as the consumers act this way they will
fail of their objective"
The horrid middleman, il would seem, exists
after all because the public needs his services.

Our basic industries are winning the war.
Flowing and mining are more important during
this great conflict than all other activities. OF
course, both industries are basic from primitive
times, but often have been more or less in the
background, Man began TO advance in living
conditions as agriculture developed, and what
he took from the caves-the first rudiments of
mining-aided him in tilling the soil. The more
ore he found under the ground the better the
weapons he was able 10 fashion, so that the ad-
vance of civilization can truthfuly be said TO
have been based on what man took from the soil
in agriculture and mining. All arts and sci
ences grew from these two branches.
