Seed and Food Costs.

One reason why food production Is
unsatisfactory, and food costs the con-
sumer high. is that so much OF the
seed planted by the farmer is poor.
The Iowa Experiment Station in one
year has examined $500 samples Of
seed corn for farmers. 1t found 10 per
cent of these seeds dead. and 21 per
cent was too weak to be of any value.
1t would seem as II every farmer
would want to have his seed tested
before going to the expense OF plant
ing it. Probably the experiment sta
tions OF the country would not have
facilities so that all the farmers could
do 1t. II so, It would abundantly pay
to have sufficient facilities added 10
that adequate tests could be made OF
pll seed supplies.
A great deal Of poor seed Ia worked
off. The farmer gets higher prices
when as . consequence food produc-
tion falls off. 80 that the mass Of the
people are the worst sufferers.

THE SERVICE OF PUBLICITY
ADVERTISING YOUR TOWN

When one of the merchants of Delta
puts an advertisement in the Inde-
pendent, he accomplishes two results.
First, he interests the home public
in his business. They form the i'm
preston that he is a hustler. They
want to see what he has to say about
his goods, and subsequently to visit
his store.
But secondly, he interests the wider
public outside his town. II you look
over the newspapers from some dis
tant city. and find that the merchants
'are not advertising in those journals,
you form the impression that it is a
dead town. 1t would never occur to
you to go there to trade.
A paper like the Independent circu-
lates through wide extent of terri
tory outside it's home town. Many of
the subscribers to it. also take and
read papers from other cities. They
compare the business news in those
papers. II the Independent has bet
ter run OF advertising than those from
such places as Montrose or Grand
Junction. they will come to Delta to
trade. II the papers in those other
towns show a better line OF advertis-
ing they will go to these other places.
Also such a paper as the Independ-
ent is compared quite carefully with
the sheets in big centers like Denver.
Our stores do not pretend to rival
the metropolitan store in floor space.
But they do business for q great deal
less money. and by use Of publicity.
