When you have written an advertisement reao IL
over again, and then ask YOURSELF
Is it true?
Does it ring with sincerity?
Does it knock" even slur?
Has it much novelty?
Is the language too fowery?
S it grammatical?
Is the wording as and simple as it should De!
Does each word best express the meaning you want
to convey?
Can any part of your text be misunderstood!
Are the punctuation and spelling correct?
Is their too much copy for the space?
will YOUR text of twenty-five words fewer make
the reader think of a hundred?
Does the illustration link with the text?
Does it tell a story?
Does your lad" a whole have the atmosphere ol
the goods advertised?
Will it get your message across?
Will the type set-up and the general layout permit
the text be read easily?
Will the lad" appeal directly to the audience you
want to reach?
In gauging the sales value of your text, have you
put yourself in the readers place?
Will it sell the goods?-Publicity.

striped gopher" so called. These
animals are not true gophers but be-
long to a family of ground squirrels
known as spermophilids. The only
true gopher in Minnesota is the pock-
ct gopher. The spermaphilids work
almost exclusively on standing grain,
breaking down and destroying more
than they really eat.
When wheat is in shock, or stacks
in the field, field mice are extremely
harmful and in places their great
numbers mean a serious financial loss
The writer has seen the striped
ground squirrel catching grasshop-
pers of which it seems very fond and
it is also known to eat cutworms, but
it is doubtful if the good that it does
in consuming these pests balances it's
habits of eating wheat and other
grain. This sphermophilid has also

WHEAT LOSSES BY
RODENTS 6 MILLION

Rodents levy an annual tax of
more than $12,OOO,OOO upon agricul-
tural products in the United States.
That of this sum the wheat crop suf-
fers to the extent of $6,00O,OO0 is a
conservative statement. Minnesota's
share of this may be 100000.
This estimate of state loss must be
regarded as only approximately cor
rect since conditions vary in different
parts of the state and in different
years, and it is impossible to obtain
exactly correct data on this point.
Reports to this Office from various
county agents give from 5000 to
$4,000 and $4,000 as the annual
county loss on grain caused by gray
gophers," as they are commonly

For thinking Purposes.

There are few things that might be said right
who being urged to devote their
entrust their ambitious enterprises. The
first thing that every man should his head for
thinking 1t is much easier to follow the crowd
that any proposition enterprise is all right
somebody it is, than to think clear through
other of the proposition and determine wheh
is sound unsound. We do not want to caution
anybody against joining any proper enter
prise for the promotion of his business interests the
welfare of agriculture whole. All such things
sound and of good repute should have
support. But we do want to say that not all things
which appear good business act
ually be and should submit them to the
test of and experiment before supporting them
There few tests by which enterprise may be
judged if not finally One of these tests is wheh
the proposed scheme is economical otherwise. If
it effects substantial economics if it advantages
than COSTS will usually succeed if properly
managed If not it is foredoomed to failure Another
test lies in the schemes harmony with that Oldest human
institution, human nature If it contempates things
which contrary to human it cannot succeed
Plans involving much free SERVICE continued sacrifice of
time and money the part of many persons
ued inconvenience the part of many, will always fail
1t may be that the object plan is worthy that
such sacrifices it demands should made yet the fact
is that comparatively few will make these sacrifices
the enterprise will fail if it's depends on such
things Another test is whether the money to be put
into enterprise be got again either in service
or in other things equivalent No plan should
be able to command capital which does offer
able safety for that capital In the past two three
years we have men, both in city country

of brooder chicks. Pocket gophers
while not such grain eaters as sper-
mophilids do consume some wheat
and do much damage by making
mounds in grain fields which inter-
fere with the knives of the mower be-
sides covering and breaking down
much grain.
These pests of wheat, except the
pocket gopher, are easily controlled
by using poisoned grain which may
be bought already prepared or may
be made by the farmer himself. Pois-
oned grain is most effective when
used in many of our far western
states.-when green food is not
available. Minnesota has never suffer-
ed and probably never will suffer
from rodents in it's wheat fields to
the extent observed in many of our
far western states.-F. L. Washburn,
