Five dollars spent on the campaign
and five hundred dollars profits was
the result of inserting the above ad.
vertisement in the local papers. Peo-
pie came from distances twenty miles
around and bought more than five
hundred bushels of plums with no Ia
Dor or expense to the producer in
marketing them, no dividing proceeds
with middlemen, and no waste OF
fruit on the ground for want of a
buyer. On the other hand, the sur
rounding consumers, not only those
who bought, but everyone who read
the five papers in which the ad was
inserted. were advised that the own
er was a fruit producer, and a path
was blazed to the OrchardHome
Fruit farm for buyers of future crops.
In each of the five papers the location
of the farm was described differently,
with the idea of making it easier to
find by people living in the vicinity of
the town where the advertisement
appeared.
But this is not the only time To-
cal advertising has paid Mr.. Pyle.
Other ads have done equally well on

Agents Duties.

The county agent or agriculturist
does his work by field demonstrations
on farms, helps in conducting short
courses, holds meetings, writes time
ly articles for the county publica-
lions, distributes circulars and bull
letins and gets in touch with the spe-
cialists of the state experiment sta
tion, college Of agriculture and the
United States department of agricul-
ture whenever the services of such
men are necessary. 1t is often found
that good farmers have overcome
problems which are causing others
much trouble. 1t is the business of
the county agriculturist to know
who these good farmers are and use
their farms as field demonstrations
to the farmers of the community,
thereby suggesting improved meth
DDS. The county agent is a sort of
travelling information bureau. In
his travels from one end of the
ty to the other he is continually in
touch with the farming operations in
the county and Is in position to pick
up a great number of good ideas
which may be of help to others in
similar situations in other sections of
the county Some farmers may have
a surplus of some seed crop, or may
want to buy or sell a cow. horse or
farm implement and in his travels
from section to section the county
agent may be able to put buyer and
seller in touch, incidentally helping
both ways.
The county agent is in an excellent
position to assist in the distribution
of seed stock, pure-bred breeding
stock, of poison in rabbit or squirrel
killing campaigns, and in numerous
other ways to promote the best in
terests of agriculture in the county.

peaches and apples. The kind Of an
ad and results vary with seasons and
road conditions. Sometimes he ap-
peals to the people to come to the
farm for the fruit, at others he ad-
vises them to order from the dealers.
For instance, at the tail end of the
berry season, when picking is thin,
he advertises for people to come and
pick the berries at a low price. If
the crop is heavy and work rushing
customers can be readily induced to
come to the farm for fruit, as they
did in the case of the 1915 plum har-
vest. Thru the use Of local papers
and a trademark, Frank Pyle's APP
pie Juice has not only gained com
munity but state and national repu-
%tation, until the orders are annually
exceeding the ability to fill them. In
Mr.. Pyle's opinion a home market
may be cultivated for any product Of
the farm, and the local paper is one
of the best instruments in forming it.
But fruit Is not the only product
which is sold in this way, o is Mr..
Pyle the only successful farmer who
uses advertising as a means of mar
keting his products. Mrs. Charles Sa-
Vile Of Worth county, Missouri, also
believes it pays to advertise and the
following ad' in her county paper is
the basis of her belief:

STATE FARM MARKETS BULLETIN
Conservation Of Fruits and Vegetables
by Evaporation,
Boise Idaho. May 20. 1917

Boise, Idaho, May 20, 1917.
1t should be borne in mind that all
that Is said in this article relative to
the conserving Of vegetables applies
to fruits, but In inverse ratio in both
food and market values.
That which is commercially known
as "~Julienne" soup stock is composed
of several vegetables and practically
all came from Germany. When Eu-
rope burst into a flame Of war the
supply was cut off, and not until
then vas the great need for this COM
modify realized. This stock contains
carrots, potatoes, celery, cabbage, on
ions and turnips.
This is n of the staples that our
government Is calling for, but peas,
string beans, cauliflower, sweet corn,
spinach, are all of as much import
ance, all are easily grown and all of
these a be evaporated at a small
cost. Some idea of the quantity need
ed can be formed from the following
table of some of the vegetables and
fruits showing s%hrinkage:
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1917-06-04
Reduction by Evaporation.

1t will be noted that the average
is five tons raw product to one ton
e%vaporated, and this gives one some
idea of the amount required to meet
part of the demand.
Prices paid to growers for vege-
tables range from IS to SIS per ton
delivered, and the produce does not
need to be of a grade equal to that
required when shipped fresh or sold
to the consumer.
1t is authoritatively stated that the
soil of Idaho will produce an average
of ten tons of carrots and twelve tons
Of beets to the acre; the usual price
paid for these commodities is Sc per
ton, which gives the grower from $50
to $72 per acre These can be grown
anywhere, and when raised between
the rows in orchards they add to the
soil value and add to income in a
way that must not be overlooked. Ev-
cry grower can figure for himself ex-
actly what he a raise, and as the
two vegetables mentioned are quoted
at an average price, he can compute
just what he can gain by having an
evaporation in his vicinity, from a fl
nancial as we'll as a patriotic view
point.
These products have an immense
advantage over fresh or canned
goods, as five tons On the average is

would not have much of a market in

1t has we'll been stated that wa
riety is the spice of life' and it puts
life into advertising. No matter how
well chosen and arranged your first
ad might have been, continued use
will detract from its effectiveness.
Seeing the anne announcement re-
peated week after week, readers soon
lose interest and fail to read the mer-
its of your wares. A few old stand
bys eve fail to lose their charm and
occasionally IN ad can reappear with
its former effectiveness but as a gen.
eral rule frequent changing to suit
the conditions will mean increased in
quiries for your products. Many ear
nest advertisers have received an ar
dent response at the first appearance
of their ad but have later wondered
why there was such a slump in the
sales while it was still running. A
change in the copy will solve that
difficulty and bring back a rush of
business equal in volume to the first

to carry on this agricultural work
for Bingham county and is now at
work. He is occupying himself in
getting acquainted with the farmers
and the various farming industries
of the county and assisting in the
membership campaign of the coun-
ty farm bureau. The membership
closes June %. The ex-
ecutive committee has set the mark
of membership for this first cam
paign at 900. Three hundred and
twenty-five of these have already
been obtained. Every farmer of the
county should get in touch with the

n~on-partisan, non-sectarian, non-se-
cret organization representing the
whole farming population, men and
women alike. 1t is not a dream but
a necessity in meeting the demands of
effective county agricultural agent
work. The only financial obligation
assumed in becoming a member of

Don't Use Dyes - Sunshine and

Chemical experts perfected Q-Ban
Hair Color Restorer after many years
of study. This preparation works in
harmony with Nature in a wonderful
way. All you need do is wet your hair
with Q-Ban-which is not.,a dye-and
then expose it to the good, pure, free
air and sunshine. Repeat This daily
for little time and your hair will re-
turn evenly and gradually to its origl-
nal, uniform shade. 1t will be glossy,
lustrous. soft, abundant and beautiful. .
Remember, Q-Ban does not pretend
to work instant miracles. Such claims
belong to dyes. But it is certain, safe
and sane. e-Ban is not patent medi-
cine.
The secret of Q-Ban's matchless re-
suits rests in process of oxidation,
from the oxygen in the air, which is
