THE INFLUENZA E R

Influenza is more or less prevalent
again. Chicago reported 5000 cases
a few days ago, and it is reported
in many other localities. While such
a terrible epidemic as that Of 1918
is hardly probable, yet it is a peril
with which no chances should be TAX
en-, and one that might have very
serious results before the winter is
over. Boards of health and the pub
lie must all work together to hold it
down.
People having this disease ought
to be qu%arantined. Its disastrous
spread in 191S was due to the fact
that persons with light cases mingled
freely with the public. If those who
cough and sneeze in public would
just take. the pains to cover their
mouths with a handkerchief, it would
help reduce the danger of this in
lection.
The United States was harder hit
by the 1918 epidemic than by the
war. If this country gets caught a.
gain with such a loss of life, it will
show both official incompetence and
popular folly. Drastic measures
may be necessary to check the fur.
Their spread of this peril, and the
people of Hope should be prepared
to cooperate fully.

HOW TO WRITE ADVERTISING

An advertisement is invariably
strengthened when it states some
reason appealing to people, comnun
sense, why the store claims that the
goods or the service it offers are SUI
perior. The merchant who is con
stantly hcanging his copy may not
be able think up some new argument
every few days. But when he talks
about his goods to a prospective GUS.
toner, he can find some good argu.
ment why the thing he offers is a
good purchase.
Good advertising after all is mere.
ly a reproduction IF good conyinc
ing talk. Many ad writer's think the,
have to cudgel their brains and con.
coct funny stuff and brilliant ideas
But nine times out of ten this smar,
ad writing is far fetched, and does
not convince.
Any man who can talk REASONABLE,
and pursuasively to a customer. car
write a good ad, if he will lust write
as he talks.

eventually comes to us all.

SEED BED FOR wheat
Loose on Top, but a Firmly Packed
Root Bed,

Wheat Is a shallow feeding plant
and therefore should have a firm
foundation. When wheat is to follow
corn or other cultivated crop, no plow-
ing is necessary, but the surface
should be made fine with a harrow.
The blowing ought to be done in the
fall for best results. If deep turned a
few days before seeding in the spring
time, no maximum yield is possible I'M
less some sort Of sub-packing imple-
ment can firm the root bed thoroughly.
Do you remember the circus ring in
the morning after the show, after the
horses have pounded it down and at
the same time scuffed it up on top?
That is the ideal condition for the
seed and root bed.
Deep blowing Is probably necessary
now and then owing to conditions, but
the root bed should not be disturbed
by the pillow or any other tool for
spring seeding.
The spring work should be nothing
more or less than pulverizing the top
layer about two or three inches deep
on corn land or land which is in prop
er condition.
If necessary to pillow in spring, q
heavy corrugated roller should be used.
The root bed must be packed hard
and firm. A hard under surface is i'm
perative whether obtained by machi-
merry or by nature.

HOME GROWN SEED

Repeated tests in the spring wheat
states prove beyond any question that
Marquis outyields any other spring
wheat and because of its excellent
milling qualities is gaining very rapid
~ in popularity.
Being a better wheat than the other
Flies, Bluestem and Velvet Chaff in
most localities, a concerted action
should be taken to establish Marquis
as the standard wheat.
Homegrown seed if Of a fair quail
ity, is better than that obtained from
a distance. although a good seed
brought from another locality is usual
~ better than poor seed grown at
home. Each farmer will do we'll to
keep his seed as pure as possible and
to select for seed a field which can be
kept free from weeds and other grain
mixtures. Every farmer ought to es-
tablish a seed plot on a different piece
Of ground each, year and keep enough
seed for at least two years. Often
times seed grown from. such a plot is
worth a lot of money.
If good seed is not available at home
or in the locality, ask your banker or
elevator what plans have been made
to bring seed into the county or write
to the state experiment station. If
you have any 1918 seed do not sell it
at the elevator but keep it for seed
and let your neighbors know that you
have some good seed. Don't sell any
wheat suitable for seed at the eleva-
tor for the market. Hold it for seed.
Somebody wants it. Seed is scarce
this year.
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1920-01-29
SEED VERY POOR

The indications are that seed wheat
has low terminating qualities this year
and it will take careful tanning and
selection to get the best Of it out for
seed. In all probability the 1919 crop
contains a sufficient amount Of good
wheat to sow the required acreage in
Minnesota, North and South Dakota,
but it will take very careful handling
to grade it, to treat it for smut and
to test it for termination.
Farmers are accustomed to taking
their wheat from their own bins, there.
fore the cost of seed wheat will be alp
proximately that of Marquis wheat or
possibly 10 to Is per cent above. Farm
ers will continue to grow wheat if they
can be reasonably sure of a fair
profit. The price is high and will
be high for the year. Every effort
should be made to SOW a normal acre
age Of spring wheat.

FUNERAL OF JOHN BARLEYCORN

One of the most interesting meet

alive of the death-and exit forever,
from the United States-of old John
B%arleycorn. The Memorial servic-
es,' contrary to the usual custom,
was not a sad occasion, neither was
there any sorrowing; but joy, glad
ness, and even hilarity seemed pres

much sorrow, anxiety and hard work
for many of the "mourners' present,
and it was soul-refreshing for the
band Of temperance workers to see
their lifelong foe silent in death
never to be resurrected.
In the absence of the President,
Mrs. Cole, Mrs. Shippy presided, and
conducted the devotional exercises.
Mrs. Kate NJ. Curry gave an inter-
esting talk along the lines of Tenn
perance Progress. Rev. G. E. Mar

dered AN instrumental humber on the
piano in her usual skillfull and ar
tistic manner. Miss Blackwell gave
two vocal numbers in her charming
style. Mrs. Shippy gave a talk on
"Our Plans for the Future" setting
forth the need of greater effort, if
possible, for work against the use of
tobacco and the evil cigarette habit,
Americanization, health, social NOR
ality, scientific temperance instruc-
ton in schools, civics and citizenship.
She stated briefly the plan of work
laid down by the State w. C. 4. u.

Mr. Shippy gave a splendid and
most interesting talk to the H. S.
body this week. He emphasized the
need of trying each day to do things
a bit better than before, and the con-
slant need of p%oliteness and eve
ence to age and authority. His adj

WHO GETS THE DIFFERENCE?

Many are noting thSt
while hogs are selling for muchslei
at wholesae, yet the consumer is gess
ting little benefit. The farmer gen
five cents a pound more for his hotA
than he did five years ago. But tta
consumer pays 20 cents more ftS
pork. Who is getting it, ask milf, "
of people.
1t is easy to enumerate a Number
of people who are getting it. 4
l.. The provision man pays more
for his labor, and all his expenses,
and he charges it to the consumer.
2. Railroad freight rates had to
go up to pay for increased cost of la
Dor and materials These are charged
to the consumer.
8. The provision nan has to pay
income taxes These in a great many
cases are added to the cost of doing
business.
4. 1t costs more to repiar and
build business structures, so rents go
up. The consumer pays again.
And so one could go on through
various items. In some places the
retail provision men may be doing
better than formerly. But they show
no sign of wealth. Probably they are
not as we'll off as a whole, cost of
their personal living considered, as
they were in 1914. There are no
doubt many individual cases of prof.
iteering, which public sentiment ands
the fair price committee should cor
rect.
How can the people beat this stu
alton?
Well, as far as the retail trade
goes, there is a gain when an enter
prising merchant reaches out for a
bigger business by advertising. He.
can do business at less expense per
article when he gets a larger volume
of trade.
One reason why meats are not dis
tributed as economically as other ar
ticles, is that as a whole grocery and
provision stores have not been as
good advertisers as some other lines.

SEED WHEAT

Select seed with dark finty kernels
free from yellowberry. Marquis is the
favored wheat because it contains
plenty Of gluten Of the best quality
for bread-making. It natures from
five to ten days earlier than other
wheats, avoiding danger from hot
winds and drought. Being earlier it is
not so liable to rust. It does not shell
out and waste so badly as Bluestem,
Fife and Velvet Chaff during harvest
even when overripe. The straw is
shorter and sitter and therefore suf-
fers less from lodging.
It you buy seed be sure that the
variety is as pure as possible, because
one variety Is always better than q
mixture.

SPRING FLOWING

(. Spring blowing may be slightly shall
lower than fall blowing and should be
worked down Immediately. The sur
race mulch should not be too fine and
powdery In districts where blowing is
common. If too fine the rain mat
puddle 1t and not penetrate so readily.
An excellent seed bed can be made in
the spring on fall blowing or on spring
disking followed Immediately with
