Advertising Proves Value to Farmer
Who Markets Crops Comparatively

That advertising pays in co-opera-
tive marketing of farm products is
shown by reports just compiled by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. which also testify to re-
markable increase in selling associa-
tions among the producers.
Take apples as an illustration.
Twenty-six farmers business organi-
cations handling boxed apples sold
more than 100000 boxes of apples of
the 1922 crop, valued at approximate
ly $8,000,000. Sixteen of the associa-
tions advertise their products the ad-
vertising assessments ranging from
one-half cent a box to 4 cents a box.
Some Of the larger appropriations
for advertising the 1923 crop are $685.
0e0. $4,000, $22,700 and $1,000. In
the last ten years more than s750.o00
has been spent to advertise one well
known brand Of apples alone.
Pooling seems to be another of the
secrets of success of the apple CO.
operatives, the department says. OF
the twenty-six organizations report
ing to the department, twenty-four
associations pool the returns for SIM
liar varieties and similar grades. The
pools are for periods ranging from
two months to year.
Dairy Products Paying.
With the United States producing
one-fourth of the milk supply of the
world. and consuming practically the
entire amount 1t is interesting to note
that the farmers are finding it more
and more profitable to engage in the
retail distribution of milk. Forty-one
farmer-owned associations are now
serving $4,000 customers with ap-
proximately 10000 gallons of milk a
day. Twenty-three of the organiza-
tions were formed since 1920. The
forty-one associations are located in
twenty-five states. There are also
six regional milk-marketing associa-
tfonS that operate over large areas
and perform all activities connected
with the marketing of milk, such as
collecting at country stations, oper-
atfng creameries, cheese factories.
condenseries or ice-cream plants. sup
plying milk dealers on a wholesale
basis, and operating retail distribut-
ing enterprises. There are also thirty
or more farmers associations primar-
lily engaged in collecting and distrib-
uting milk at Wholesale. in addition
to twenty or more price gaining
associations formed by milk produc-
ers for bargaining collectively with
dealers.

ASK BIG AIR FLEET
FOR PANAMA zone
ManeuVers Uncover Need Of.
\, Larger Protective Force

Washington, Aug. 31,--various
means of strengthening the defenses
OF the Panama Canal are suggested In
an official navy department critique,
prepared as a result of a study of last
springs maneuvers in Panama Bay.
The weaknesses of the present
canal fertilization, the memorandum
said, include the improper grouping of
defense artillery, the lack of suffi-
cient air force in the Canal Zone, and
the susceptibility of certain vital
parts of the waterway to air bombs.
1t is suggested also that the defending
fleet should be balanced by the addi-
ton of scout cruisers, and that study
should be made of the possibility of
obtaining by treaty the right to es-
tablish aircraft bases at certain un-
named points on foreign soil nearby.
In the spring maneuvers, the
'enemy' feet from across the Pacific
discarded any plan to attack the canal
directly, but succeeded in Selling a
base at Port Culebra, Costa Rca, from
which it was in a position to send out
an air feet against the little strip of
United States territory.
In drawing up their estimates"
says the critique, both commanders
considered the possibility of blocking
thecanal by an attack in force on the
Pacific side defenses and locks. Blue
tthe United States defense fleet COM
mander) rejected this idea as improb-
able on the part of Black (the enemy
fleet commander) because the heavy
Notifications would keep his ships at
bay and even should he reduce these |
which is unlikely he would still have,
in all probability mine field, a sub
marine entrance guard, and an air at
tack to overcome.
BLACK rejected this course because,
to destroy the closest locks by bonn
bardment, or by torpedoes, ships
would first have to destroy the enemy
sea forces, run the gauntlet of the
mines and submarines in Panama Bay
and even after this were done, shore
batteries would still keep our forces
at a range of $4,000 yards at which
distance destruction of the locks by
bombardment is hardly possible.
Both the Black and Blue Com
mandera estimated that the best
chance for Black to accomplish his
mission was to bomb the vital parts
by means of airplanes."
This situation, coupled with other
facts developed during the maneuvers,
led the naval experts to reach rather I
definite decisions as to the future
needs of national defense in that quar- /
ter, The official critique concludes as
follows: |
