BLAND, MD. 49,.
Many farmers who handle consid-
cradle quantities Of produce find 1t
profitable to use distinctive, printed
wrappers. Another simple means Of
advertising is neatly printed gummed
labels for use on the outside Of pack
ages sent by parcel post or express.
Advertisements in local or metropolis.
tan papers should be short and should
give description Of the goods with
the prices, and the name and address
Of the person advertising. In some
cities the Sunday edition gives better
results than the daily edition.
What Advertiser Should Know.
The person who advertises must OF.
fer 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 q circula-
ton. In other words, he must know
what to advertise, when to advertise,
and where to advertise. The follow
ing are suggested forms for parcel
post classified advertising:

Typical of the small number of farm
ers who have entered the field Of ma
tional advertising is one in a middle
western state, who has built up a coun.
try-wide trade in his special brand Of
homemade sausage by using the ad.

cleverly prepared pamphlets and the

prepared By the United States Depart

The owner Of a large farm in Penn
sylvania, on which one Of the flrst at
tempts at terracing in the North At
lantic states was undertaken last
spring, il enthusiastic about the benz,
efits Of this work. He has asked that
the drainage division Of the Bureau Of
Public Roads, which supervised the
project aid in extending the terracing
this fall.
This sort Of rural engineering is new
In the region, and the low ridges at
various levels on the sloping fields Of
this farm have occasioncd the liveli-
est interest In the whole district. Ter.
racing Of various types has been prac.
ticed In parts Of the South for num-
Der Of years. but In many sections Of
the North its great advantages are
little understood. Consequently, the
bureau IL particularly interested In
this demonstration Of the permanent
value Of terracing on this Pennsyl-
vania farm.
The Bureau Of Public Roads points
out that the washing away Of earth
by water costs the farmers Of the
United States approximately one mill
lion dollars every year. Soil losses
from this cause occur In every state
Of the union and In almost every coun-
ty Of every state. Terracing is the
most effective method Of prevention.
There are two types of terraces
the bench terrace and the ridge ter
race. A field Of bench terraces re.
sembles a series Of benches or flight
of steps. Ridge terraces, as the name
implies, are simply ridges Of earth
thrown up across the slopes or hill.
sides. Ridge terraces are divided into
two classes with respect to width and
base. narrow base and the broad base
A broad base is the more recent type
Of the two, and as yet has been used
in only a few localities. However.
1t Is rapidly coming into general use
and II taking the place Of the narrow
base because of its superiority for
most, If not all, conditions. This is
the type on the Pennsylvania farm
It's chief advantage lies in the fact
that It can be readily crossed by large
farm machinery. and therefore it does
not interfere with the usual farm OPP
erations. The broad embankment Of
earth gives the terrace strength to
Withstand the pressure Of water and
prevents breaks due to seepage.

farmers have found scores Of ways by
which they can attract buyers for their

herewith are designed particularly for

quantities to meet stable demand.
Butter. eggs, live and dressed poultry,

the commodities the sales of which can
be bettered by some form Of farm adj

There are many means Of direct APP

are possible customers for the farmer.

In course of the cleanup and paint
up movement, which produced good re-
suits in many towns and cities, repairs
OF: all sorts were brought about. The
householder. who looked over his prop
erty in the spring, with view of
merely removing rubbish from back

much to be done, and as a result of
recent experiences In war economies

One of the interesting features Of
the "pairt-up"~ activities has been un-
usual care in choosing colors. Since
the ending Of the war a wide scale Of
colors is again offered, and more atten-
ton than at any previous time has
been paid to general effect, according
to reports received BY the own-your-
own-home section, information and ed
ucation service, United States depart
lnent of labor. Roofs have been recog-
nized as important in the color
schemes, artistic results being OBJ
tanned by the :use>of paint In harmonic

AS matter of conseryationsin the
cleanup and paint-up campaigns the
repair of roofs has been studied and
various methods have been employed
to prevent the expense and labor of
replacing wooden shingles. Prepare.
tons Of asphalt are now commonly
employed, for they have the advan-
tage of recommending themselves to
fire insurance companies and they are
inexpensive; In several cities the :slo'
gan, "Save the old wooden shingles"
has been incorporated, with the regu'
lar paint-up and cleanup watchwords.

AUSTRIAN TREATY NOT
 READY BEFORE NEXT WEEK

Paris, Saturday, May l7.-fBy Incl A. P,)-The Austrian peace treaty, ac- rording to indications today, will not he ready for presentation before the later part of next week. It is under stood that the failure of Hungarian delegates to arrive and the uncertain ty regarding conditions there caused 8 considerable redraft of portions of the document concerning overlapping questions in the former dual monarchy.
 Meanwhile. the members of the Aus trian delegation at St. Gerban have as vet done little except to accustom themselves to the pleasures of that historical and beautiful place. They spend long hours in bed and seem to enjoy the abundant meals which are probably in sharp contrast to what they knew in Vienna. The members are rarely seen outside their villas and hotels and have not yet. according to all information, attempted any se- rious labors nor despatched one courier to Vienna.
 The only exception to this easy life has been furnished by the four food experts with the delegat ton who had another conference today with the in ter-allied representatives concerning methods and details of revictualling Vienna and what is left of Austria.
 The ceremony of exchanging creden- tials with the Austrian probably will occur Monday in the room where Louis KY was born.

DISAPPOINTMENT OF CHINESE
 OVER THE PEACE TERMS

Peking. Thursday, May 15.-(By The A. P)-The disappointment of the Chinese over the decision of the peace conference confirming Japan as the in- heritor of German rights in Shang- tung is deep and widespread. Many organizations throughout the country are urging the government by tele- graph not to sign the treaty, while others are cabling similar advice di- rect to the Chinese peace delegates.
 Government circles are discussing the question whether or not to sign the peace treaty. Moderate counsels advise signing with reservations, but it is probable that this attitude will be overcome by the appreciation of the difficulties of China's position if she remains outside the league of nations.
 Chinese friendship for America and the allies is suffering a severe strain. Students trained in America are fall ing into disrepute as the result of the failure of the United States. Great Britain and France to support China's claim. Some Chinese point out that China entered the war at the invita- tion of the United, States.
