other grade than what is represented.
Business men do not buy a pig in a

is ordered, not what the grower or
shipper thinks is better.
Marketing Potatoes
AS Rusk county is a shipper of po-
tatOes, but not of fruit, Mr.. Bassett,
devoted some time to the methods of
marketing this product. Since Wis
consin has had the potato grading
law, Wisconsin potatoes have stood
about two per cent higher than those
of other states. People are learning,
he said, that Wisconsin potatoes are
better, owing to the compulsory grad
ing law. But Michigan potatoes out
sell ours because of better selling or
CARNATIONS.
The farmers of North Dakota are
going to he cleft in the lurch" this
year because they have no selling or
ganization and no warehouses to store
their crops and with five times as
many potatoes this year than they
grew. last year. Other states have al
so increased their yields. Michigan
potatoes last year sold for Sc. cents
per hundred weight higher than the
general average of the country, accord
ing to government figures. The speak
er said he thought that the bulk of the
potato crop Of the country will be sold
through organized selling agencies
within two years. A Michigan wool
pool failed, he said, because it lacked
a selling machine.
In the matter of organized effort in
the selling end of the perishable prod
ucts business, Mr. Bassett cited the
California Fruit Growers Association
as the most marked example of organ
lied selling. When there is no ap-
parent market for some of their fruits
they create one by creating a demand.
The California farmers are making
business of farming-not just farm
ing. They paid $1,000 for just one
advertisement in the Ladies' Home
Journal, advertising Sunmaid raisins
not just raisins, but "Sunmaid' raj
sins. They have a brand for every
thing they sell and that helps sell it.
Wonderful Advertising
They made up a budget of $4,000
for advertising their different products
in one issue of the Curtis publications
These ads were in colors and were
wonderful examples of artistic design
ing and printing. They sold the farm
ers' fruits at good profit. They ap-
propriated $28,500 just to advertise
small oranges for which there was no
market The advertising created the
market
The Farm Bureau thinks it is nee
essary to do something along the line
of marketing perishable products and
committee of II was appointed by
President Howard to consider the mat
ter and to outline a mode of procedure.
The committee is composed of prac
teal men, Mr.. Bassett said, and in
cludes three experienced California
men. 1t is expected that $4,000 car
loads of products will be handled this
year. High-class men are needed to
do this work.
Speaking of marketing potatoes I'M
der the old sysetm, the speaker men,
toned an incident in his own expert
ence. He shipped car of potatoes
and watched the process of their
transportation and distribution. He
said they went through nine hands be-
fore they reached the consumer. Four
of the middlemen lost money on the
shipment, but the consumers paid five

DISCUSS METHODS
OF MARKETING
Selling Crop More Than Half
of Job of Successful Farm
ing" Declares Speaker

Under the auspices Of the County
Farm Bureau Federation, Charles B.
Bassett director of field organization
of the North American Fruit Exchange,
has been addressing groups of farm
ers and business men in RuSk county
during the past few days.
Mr.. Bassett's mission is to explain
to the farmers methods of marketing
their perishable crops, such as pota-
toes and fruits, so that they may OBJ
tain the largest net return for their
produce, and to effect a sales contract
with local organizations for selling
the same. In addition to the sales
service, the exchange furnishes mar
ket information, advance loans to ship
pers in reasonable proportion of the
market value of the crops, and an in
surance contract.
The North American Fruit Ex-
change is a nationwide, non-Specula-
tive organization engaged in the dis
tribution and sale of fruits and vege-
tables in carload shipments. Its head
offices are in New York and it main
tains 1874 sales offices in the United
States, securing for growers confirmed
f. 0. B. orders for carlot shipments.
With such an organization to sell
through, Mr.. Bassett claimed, the
shipper does not have to consign his
crops or take what is offered by linn
tied cash demand. His market is
found for him and market gluts are
avoided" giving growers a more even
price.
Authority On Subject
At a meeting of farmers and bus
mess men at the Chamber OF Com
merse rooms Monday night, Mr. Bas-
sett explained the methods Of his or
ganization and what has been accom-
plished by it and by other sales or
CARNATIONS, such as the California
fruit growers maintain. Mr.. Bassett,
who is a Michigan farmer and fruit
grower, is one of the men who organ
lied the bureau of markets for the
United States department of agricul-
ture, and it is said that he is author
ity on organized marketing.
He was introduced by John A.
Schmidt, who, with III. W. Turner, adj
vertised and conducted the meeting.
Both are officers of the Farm Bureau,
and Mr.. Turner, is manager of the
Rusk County Cooperative Shipping
Association.
Marketing the crop is more than
half the job of successful farming the
speaker said, and farmers have not
practiced the best business methods in
this part of their business. He thinks
that farmers should sell their potatoes
like wholesale grocers sell their stocks
get orders before shipping. Good
marketing is sending product where
it. is wanted when it is wanted. Don't
depend upon word of mouth in bus
mess. Have orders in triplicate, and
confirmed Keep a complete record.
Business is built up on a square-deal
policy. The thing that builds up a
business. is repeat orders, and in or
der to get repeat orders, an article

While John Underhill, young farmer,
was at the Monroe fair with his two
little boys, the house on his farm
burned to the ground. L. Goodman,
passing the place, discovered the fire,
forced his way in and aroused Mrs.
M. Liebers, housekeeper, and Mr.. I'm

and told that his house had burned,
he rushed for his automobile, and dis

The Facisti, he said, are the products
of Italy's disappointments with the
peace settlements of the war. They
include some of the men who went
with D'Annunzio to Fiume, and large
numbers of them are of the middle
classes, who are weary of the obstruc-

The latest contribution of the

which has generally been avoided by
the best dressed men as being too
informal FOR formal occasions and too
