Investing in Advertising
that Pays

Then our dealer work is judged in our
Bulk Window. Car cards are compared in
our duplicate street car; packages and
labels are placed on our store display
shelves to secure the best effects. Close
contact is maintained with the Executives
throughout.
Perhaps this is one reason why our asso-
citation with our clients is longer than usual.
The average life of our accounts is seven
years and six months :. and this average
is getting longer each year.
The average life of accounts with agen-
cies in general is eleven months.
In 1919, our business increased $50 per
cent; and 96 per cent. of the entire volume
of business we placed was from advertisers
who had been with us for longer than one
year and in some instances, for twenty-five
years.
These advertisers, who were responsible
for the bulk of our increase, have been
through the test period with U.s. They
know us and our work.

BEST CROPS ARE SECURED
FROM FALL FLOWING

Every farmer whose wheat yield
was reduced by rust this year will APP
preciate the value of fall blowing if
for no other reason that getting the
wheat crop in early and escaping the
hot weather and rust which usually
comes about the time wheat is begin
ming to mature.
Most every farmer in Ward county
will tell his neighbor this fall when he
threshes that if he had gotten GER
tain piece of wheat in a week earlier
it would have been almost matured be-
fore the rust and hot weather reduced
the yield materially.
Why not accept this as a lesson
teaching the gospel of early fall plow-
ing? This spring was late and every
body rushed to get the crop sown in
season. The farmers who had some
fall blowing done were able to get
some early wheat in that is showing a
good yield. The late sown wheat was
rusted and affected by the hot weather
and drouth which came late in the
growing season.
Andrew Bass, Chief Agronomist of
Minnesota, writes as follows in regard
to fall blowing: 1T is matter of
common observation that the best
crops are nearly always secured on the
early fall plowed land. Just why the
early blowing gives the best crops is
not always easy to explain. One cause
undoubtedly is that the fall plowed
land lies open and porous, ready to re-
ceive the fall rain and absorbs a larger
amount of moisture than unplowed
land. They early blowing also gives
time for the land to settle again before
spring and allows it to become COM
pact enough to re-establish good cap
Hilary action, thus getting moisture to
the plants when moisture is needed.
Moisture control is an important fac
tor in plant growth. Another factor
that is influential in crop growth is
the decay of vegetable matter in the
soil. When straw, stubble, manure or
weeds are plowed under early in the
fall, they become moistened through
falling rains while the weather is still
hot enough to start decay, they be-
come partly decayed in the fall and
are in position to quickly decay the
spring following. This results in max
ing available large amount of plant
food and crops growing on such soil
do better than those plowed so late
that decomposition comes on after the
growing season.
"The decay of vegetable matter in
the soil, the storage Of falling rain
and the conservation Of soil moisture
are all very important factors in max
ing the next years crop. All of these
are more favorably provided through
early fall blowing than through late
blowing. Insect pests are also held
in check by fall blowing.
Coupled with the soil advantages of
early blowing il the saving of time in
spring in getting the crop in the
ground. Early seeding often gives as
surance Of good crop.

durum or hard spring wheat, the rust
in the Kubanka is negligible while
other fields of wheat are damaged
