CAUTION
THREE PER CENT ON SALES

Competent business experts lay
down the rule that a business may
we'll appropriate three per cent on its
gross sales for advertising. Many
tests of three per cent advertising
out lay have resulted in increasing
business SO 1-3 per cent.
To many people three per cent will
seem a small amount for a business
to spend to make itself known and to
communicate it's offerings to the pub
lie. Many concerns spend a good
deal more than that, and find it pays,
and that they could not exist with
out It.
Publicity is reconed as one of the
essential expenses of the up to date
business 1t no more expects to
avoid it than to avoid insurance on
it's stock or cost of clerk hire or rent.
You can't sell goods unless the peo-
pie know what you have to offer, and
three per cent seems a moderate tax
for getting that information to the
public.

CHRISTOPHER M

Grasshopper determination Formula
Recommended by the United
States Department of Agriculture
and N. d. Agricultural College
l. Thoroughly mix 100 pounds
of wheat bran and S pounds white
arsenic or Paris Green.
2. Dissolve 4 pounds of salt in Is
or Is gallons of water and add 2 gal
Ions of black strap molasses.
8. Grind one dozen large lemons
or two dozen small ones and add pulp
and juice to molasses and stir until
whole is a thin brownish syrup.
4. Mix the thin syrup into the
bran and stir until there are no
Jumps. Do not pour all syrup over
bran at one time. To do so may
wash part of the bran free from
arsenic.
5. This poisoned mash will kill
grasshoppers and should be broad
casted over the land in the early eve
ming. This amount of poisoned mash
should 10 to 20 acres.
G.. The most effective way Of u.s.
ing this poisoned mash is to allow it
to ferment in a barrel or tank and
covered with damp sacks. After
this has stood for two or three days
broadcast it crosswise with the wind.
CAUTION
: 1. This poisoned mash will kill
stock if fed to them but will not if
spread on the fields.
2. In mixing this poisoned mash
for grasshoppers follow the instruc-
lions explicitly. Failure in this will
result in failure of killing the grass
hoppers.
