Farm Names.

The custom Of giving names to
farms and country places is growing
in this country and it is very good
thing that it is The country is new
yet and there is still a good deal Of
shifting about Of population and the
fact that it isn't often that a son, to
say nothing Of a grandson, is living
on the place where his grandfather
lived, is probably the reason that
until lately so few farms were
given names.
And the habit of naming the
farm is very likely to have certain
effect on the population. Giving the
farm name gives it more Of an
individuality and constitutes a tie
between the place and its owner.
One hesitates a little longer to sell
and to leave "Oakedene Park" or
Maple Vale" than he does to sell or
leave just "the farm" So too,
children are at least little bit
more attached to the farm home
which has a name than to the one
which hasn't.
There is an advertising value in a
name also. Products from a given
farm attract more attention and
that attention is more favorable if
they bear pretty name. 1t gives
to the products a certain identity
and is a guarantee of their origin.
The buyer may not know anything
about the farm in question personal
ly or directly, but if the butter or
eggs he buys and finds desirable
bear the name of "Cloverdale," or
some other such suggestive name he
can conjure up for himself a picture
of the farm from which they came
which adds to his enjoyment of
them.
And, as the country grows older
and generation succeeds generation,
as tradition develops and history is
made, there is a great deal of
convenience in having established
farm names. 1t will be much more
interesting some hundreds of years
hence to recite stories of the things
which happened some centuries be-
fore if they can be definitely told of
a place which has borne the same
name down through the years rather
than uncertainty attached to one
which has never had more dis
tinguishing name than "So-and-So's

Dumping and Merchandising.

Aaron Sapiro, the noted Cal
ifornia expert of farm marketing
made an address recently as report
ed in the st. Paul Farmer, which
should stir up every farmer of Wis
consin to see how the marketing
methods in his locality can be i'm
proved.
Mr.. Sapiro brought out the idea
that while farming is an individual
and independent process, each man
working on his own acres, yet when
it comes to marketing, it becomes a
group problem. The individual
farmer can't usually do it success
fully because he does not know the
vast country wide and world wide
conditions that affect the process.
Individual selling of crops means
as a rule that they will be dumped
on the market when the prices are
lowest. Farmers hear that prices
at harvest time are low, and they
start in to get their crop on the
market at the earliest possible
moment. That produces a vast over
supply for the time being, and the
market is broken to a point where
the farmer can not get what it cost
him to produce the stuff.
The business men in other lines do
not do that way. When a merchant
gets his fall and winter stock in, he
does not try to sell it in a few
weeks. If he did he would have to
sell at big sacrifice, the way the
farmers have had to. Instead he
makes plans to work it off gradually
as the public demands it. In that
way he is able to sell at a profit and
stay in business.
The farmers must market in that
gradual way in order to attain the
success that men get in other lines
of business. That means that in
the majority of cases they should get
together and prepare to handle their
united crops with regard to the
needs of the market. By such
united effort they can find out
whore the crop viii sell the best and
when it will sell best, and they can
send it where it is needed. and thus
make the least sacrifice in order to
dispose of it.
