ESTIMATE VALUE OF MANURE
Where Fertilizer Is Not Used Lands
Become Worth Less Than I'm
proVements on Them.

1t has always been difficult to deter
mine just how much a load of barn.
yard manure is worth. In the eyes
of some farmers 1t has always been
invaluable. In the eyes of others 1t
has been valueless.
In a general way manure Is Just val
liable enough so that where 1t Is used
lands increase in value from both pro-
ductive and monetary standpoints,
while where It is not used, lands be-
come worth less than the cost of the
improvements on them. This is no
idle platitude. The history of all
countries proves its truth conclu-
sively.
The value of q load of manure is
dependent upon two factors; the price
of land and the price Of farm prod
ucts. Farm lands are increasing in
price by leaps and bounds; farm prod
ucts are continuing to soar skyward.
There was never a time when a load
of harnyard manure was such a val
liable treasure as it is now. 1t has
always been the dividing line between
profit and loss; today 1t is the divid-
ing line between prosperity and bank
ruptcy.

January is the month in which most
women consider their own and their
family's need in undergarments, and
this particular duty is not so simple
now as it used to be. Two months
earlier designers, manufacturers and
importers must assemble undertakings
for women who leave for the South
as soon as the holidays are over, and
this eXacting clientele sets the pace in
the development of new ideas-and
In extravaganza. This year, be it
known. all-white underwear appears
to be their choice, and it will therefore
play the leading role, as in times long
past, in the dainty drama Of under
muSlinS.
But all-white undertakings will not
hold the center of the stage all the
time. Negligees have grown more pic
turesque and colorful, more varied in
style than ever and the newest fad
calls for hose, slippers, cap and I'M
derwear to match them; the match
ing involves usually two colors, so
there is no monotony. A house party,
assembled for the morning coffee, is
quite likely to rival the evening party,
In gay and pretty dressing, and to
prove more interesting, since one can
venture a little way toward the BIZ

There are various comparatively SIM

cause of the tremendous increase in

town or city motorists many times a

scores, often hundreds, of vehicles pass

possible customers for farm products
The farmer interested in attracting
such trade should look well to the
appearance of his place. Perhaps old,
unsightly features of which he is not
conscious exist, but the passer-by is
keen TO discern these signs of farm
management and hesitates to purchase
at place showing neglect.
Bulletin Boards Useful.

the front gate is big asset in attract

are placed considerable distance on

The farmer who has a display at the
county fair can, unless regulations for
bid, use some form of display advertis-
ing in connection with his own exhibit,
thus attracting attention to his per-
sonal business in a dignified effective
manner.
Local, and in some cases metrOpOl-
itan, newspapers offer a direct medium
for publicity, particularly for a farmer

Advertising In Press.
To obtain satisfactory results from
advertising in newspaper, the paper
selected must have circulation among
persons to whom the advertisement
will appeal. Advertisements should be
short and should give a description of
the goods with the prices, and the
name and address of the person adj
vertising. In some cities the Sunday
edition of n newspaper gives better
results than the daily edition. The
person who advertises must offer a
product that is wanted by the persons
who read the paper at the time the
product is advertised, in the places
where the paper has a circulation. In
other words, he must know what to
advertise, when to advertise, and where
to advertise. The following are sug-
gested forms for parcel post classified
advertising:

ment of Agriculture)
Most certainly, advertising pays for
the farmer, as for the business man.
But the problem for the farmer is to
know the kinds suited to his particular
needS-the kinds that will bring him
money.
To many people advertising means
only large display-type announcements
more or less extensively illustrated.
But for the farmer there are scores of
other ways he can be advertising his
products every day, and in many cases,
at a cost small indeed compared with
the returns. The suggestions offered
herewith by marketing specialists of

culture are designed particularly for
