Advertising in Press.
To obtain satisfactory results from
advertising in a newspaper, the paper
selected must have a 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 he person adj
vertising. In some cities the Sunday
edition of a 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:
Fresh Eggs direct from farm. Send -
for three dozen delivered by parcel post

An Effective, Dignified Advertisement
on This Barn.

The farmer who possesses an auto
truck-and he is legion these days-is
overlooking a splendid advertising op-
p%ortunity If he does not have the name
of his farm and his special products
neatly lettered on the sides of his vehi-
Gle. Then every trip to town Is q re-
hinder to hundreds, perhaps thou
sands, that the owner is still on the
map. One dairy farmer who built up a
large retail trade in butter, eggs, cot
tage cheese, etc., in addition to a large
milk trade, not only carried on his
vehicles the name of his farm "a eu-
phonious Indian name once applied
to the region), but made all his trucks
and wagons even more distinctive by
painting them all the same color, a
dark yellow.

OF Great Value
Problem for Farmer Is to Know
What Kinds Are Best Suited
to His Needs.
Direct APPEAL TO BUYERS
Because of Tremendous Increase In
Automobile Travel Various Simple
Means Are Offered-Bulletin
Boards Are Useful.

prepared by the United States Depart
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 displly-type announcements
more or less extensively illustrated.
But for the farmer there are scores of
other ways he a 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
the United States department of agri-
culture are designed particularly for
the farmer who is in a position to
meet a staple demand for given grades
of goods. Eggs, butter, fruit, vegeta-
bles, dressed meat, dressed fowls, sau-
sage, are among the items the sale of
which can be promoted by consistent
advertising.
There are various comparatively SIM
pie means of direct appeal to buyers
which are particularly profitable be-
cause of the tremendous increase in
automobile travel. Today that farm is
remote, indeed, which is not passed by
town or city motorists many times a
week. A count or many a so-called
quiet country road will show that
| scores, often hundreds, of vehicles pass
daily. A large number of these carry
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 a place showing neglect.
Bulletin Boards Useful.
A well-deSigned bulletin board neal
the front gate is a big asset in attract
ing buyers. Just as big commercial
houses know that it pays to use skill
in preparing a display sad" so the
farmer in many a progressive com
munity has learned to take pains il
preparing his bulletin board. 1t ma!
be only a blackboard that is used, bu
it should be neat and its message
easily read. In addition to the nam
of the farm or the farm owner, ther'
should be stated in large type the kind
Of produce offered for sale. 1t is gen
orally advisable to add the prices also
On some farms supplementary boards
are placed q considerable distance OF
either side of the main bulletin, call
ing attention to the latter. A goOt
sample of the wording on these fol

But the bulletin board is not the only
effective standing advertisement for
the farmer. His place will be better
remembered by passing strangers if its
name appears in neat lettering above
or beside the entrance. The custom of
naming farms, popular in so many
parts of the country. has proved of
financial as well as sentimental value.

two or more colors in printing these
adds to the expense but often is justi-
fed by results. Others who do not
feel they can afford printed wrappers
may find it worth while to have neatly
printed business cards for insertion in
each package sent out. Another sim
pie means of advertising is printed
gummed labels for use on the outside
of packages sent by parcel post or eX-
press. A suggested wording is given
below.

E. Cramer the Evening Wisconsin. would have

fact that he was one of the earliest settlers in the
town of Packwaukee Marquette county, taking
up farm on Buffalo lake just ACROSS from the
village In grove of oak and hickory he built
what was for the period before 1860, an elaborate
farm residence in Colonial style. It contained
two fire-places which years after were objects of
curiosity to generation accustomed to getting
heat from stoves. For many years after his re-
moval to Portage and later to Milwaukee, the
KEENAN, farm and grove was and still is, one of
the beauty spots of that country and the veteran
editor who spent his. summer vacations within
half mile of the farm would have included it in
any life story of 7. L. Kennan, which just goes
to show that when it comes to treating Of histori

FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 1920

The acreage Of all crops in Wisconsin is given
at 227O OO0 an increase of 49, 900 acres over last
year which is remarkable considering the scarcity
of farm help. The potato acreage is three per
cent larger than in 1919. The increase instead OF
the expected reduction, is attributed to the deve-
opment of northern Wisconsin counties which
will from now on be more noticeable each year. In
this connection, we note that EdW. Nordman OF
the state marketing division states that bill will
be introduced in the next legislature to provide
for bringing some 10 900, 600 acres under settle
ment and cultivation by small farmers, now in
the hands of wealthy spectators and IN many IN
stances is held at prohibitive prices. This bill
will affect all of northern Wisconsin, including
Villas county, and in our opinion our candidates
for the assembly and senate should be men who
would make the issue of devising some, way of
faster development of these lands their chief aim
when they get to Madison. Candor compels us to
say that up to date none of them seem to be very
much interested in what means great deal to
the district at large
