THE EFFICIENCY
 OF ADVERTISING.

Advertising also works for effici- cncy because it draws in tra'r from tho surrounding country and near by towns, thus enabling the business of a place to be conducted on a bigger scale. A advertising towns Eots very little outlying country business. People prefer to go a greater distance to places that show more enterprise.
 When new business is drawn in from tho surrounding country, and the trade volume is thereby increased, tho stores cun buy in bigger lots at lower prices. The expense charge for each article sold is reduced.
 Thus advertising tends to create a community of active, enterprising wide awake stores, that do business enough and turn their capital fast enough SO that their service is per- formed on an economical basis.
 This point of view is sustained by the fact that in any bright and go- ahead town. there is always a large group of merchants who are liberal advertisers and who get the best trade of the community and near by country.

HALF 0f MARION
COUNTY LANDIN
IN CULTIVATION

When the 1919 legislature passed a
law requiring county assessors to secure
statistics as to the acreage planted In
grains, fruit and berries, it afforded
means whereby each county as well as
the state would know its standing in
agricultural and horticultural products.
This law was formulated and offered
to the legislature by the Marion county
delegation. Knowing that California
was sending Oregon 3 finest products
under" Del Monte''and other labels, and
with no statistics to show eastern buy
ers that Oregon was really great fruit
raisin state, it was decided at state
meeting Of horticulturalists about one
year ago to favor the passage Of a law
by which county assessors should COM
pile exact statistics and that the fig
ures from each county should be filed
with the office Of. the. tax commission
In Marion county the total acreage in
farms as assessed by Ben West, cou-
ty, assessor, totaled 324,505. Of this
acreage, there was in all kinds of grains,
fruits, berries and vegetables 1SS,S50
acres, showing that more than half Of
tho farm land assessed in the county
was under cultivation this spring.
Marion county isl strongly an oats
producing county, as the total acreage
as shown bv Mr.. West IS official report
is 64,413. Wheat ranks second in acre
age with 35,255 planted in winter wheat
and 12,435 in spring wheat, total Of
1890.
Next in Importance to oats and wheat
is the hay crop which totals 25, ,598 acres
with an. extra 1902 acres in wild or
marsh hay.
About one year ago Robert c. Paulus,
manager Of the Salem Fruit Union, estl-
mated the prune acreage in this valley
ut something over 1000 acres. Statistics
rs gathered by the assessor of the coun-
tyand now a part of the official coun-
ty records show that In Marion county
alone, there is 661l acres in bearing
prunes and 1895 acres no-bearing. Not
withstanding the fact that prune trees
for planting are selling all the way from
so to rs cents each, it is understood a
large acreage will be planted this com
ing winter and spring.
The following is a copy Of the sum
mary Of acreages in Marion county as
compiled by the county assessor:

flee supplies have been received and he
IS already organizing his forces for emu
merating the population of all that pars
