THE THREE FACTORS
OF BUSINESS

IF. however. you will talk with
any bank man, thoroly informed in
economies. he viii tell you that the
goal cannot be reached except with
the help Of the advertising men OF
the country and the transportation
systems.
The three greatest factors ef.
fecting business are money rates,
advertising rates, and trans.
portation rates. Given control Of
these three factors one can 70 a
long way In eliminating the hills
and valleys of business.
The federal reserve board is doing
as well as II can with only one OF
these tools, but at present II is like
carpenter with only hammer and
without saw or chisel. The inter.
state commerce. commission, which
controls the rates of transportation
have the saw. but the advertising
men have the chisel. Some day your
Associated Advertising Clubs OF the
World will take up the question of
using advertising rates as tool in
connection with the steadying of
business conditions.
ADVERTISING NEEDED
AS STABILIZER
when business Is recklessly ex.
nanding. advertising rates should be
materially increased; so that when
business is depressed advertising
rates may be correspondingly re.
duced. One of the best barometers
OF business Is the size OF our daily
papers. l do not want to reduce the
size OF our papers over a period OF
years. Rather, | want TO see them
continue to increase In size. /. how.
ever, do object to n big paper one
ycar and small paper the next year
Business conditions viii become
steady and gradually increase only
when the amount OF advertising be-
comes steady and gradually increases
Violent fluctuations in advertising
are not merely the result OF fluctua.
ton in business; but are largely the
cause.
"a concern stops advertising
because its business has fallen
off, but the fact of its stopping
advertising makes business still
worse than il otherwise would be.
ITO speak statistically, advertising
begins to fall off because business
begins to decline, but business de.
clines TO the depth much worse than
II otherwise would because advertis.
ing is decreased, The changing OF
advertising rates and railroad rates
in accordance with the Babsonchnrt
would not only greatly benefit bust.
ness as n whole, but would benefit

sell and those who have trnnsnorta.

BANKS HELP TO
STABILIZE BUSINESS

During tho past 100 years banking
has gone thru various stages, and
the present generation has been en-.
gagged in constructive banking. The
country iH now learning that the
banker has a great opportunity in
steadylng business conditions, there.
BY eliminating reckless booms and
preventing needless panics.
1T has been learned that by In.
crcasing the bank rate. during
periods OF overexpansion. n panic
can be prevented Then by lowering
the rate during periods OF depression.
prosperity can be brought back. 1t
has been learned that the bank rate
bears the same relation to business
that the governor bears TO an engine
Hence, the banks have been recently
united in the federal reserve system
which can. control the discount rate
with the sole object of eliminating
reckless booms and preventing need.

is largely sand, redtop, red fescue, and.
If obtalnable, creeping bent or Rhode
Island bent should be used in equal
parts by weight. For Kentucky blue
grass the soil needs to be alkaline.
This can be assured by applying lime
or unleached wood ashes at the rate
of one to three tons per acre. If there
Is half a stand of grass one would use
seed at the rate of 80 pounds per acre
or one pound for every 1000 square
feet of surface. With less grass, one
would use more seed.
1t is well to seed in March and the
last of August or first Of September.
To stimulate as vigorous growth of
Grass as possible liberal application
of either ground bone or one of the
prepared stock yard manures, like pre-
pared sheep manure or prepared COW
manure, should be broadcast on the
surface. From one to one and one-half
tons of bone per acre is required, and
of the prepared manures an even
larger quantity. After the grass has
well started, nitrate of soda could be
used to advantage at the rate of 80
pounds per acre. This could be re-
peated month later, although as
rule 1t is not advisable to use this
material after the beginning of Sep
tember. 1t should be applied when the
ground is wet either from rain or from
watering.
Bone or stock yard manure should be
applied late each fall and nitrate Of
soda could be used as n stlmulant from
June to September at intervals of
month. Reseeding is desirable each
March and August until really good
lawn is secured, when the August seed
ing may be omitted.
Clipping the lawn should begin as
soon as the lawn mower will cut the
tops when set high. 1t should be re-
peated at intervals of five days or a
week. The clippings should be per-
mitted to remain about the roots of
the grass.
Watering should not be oftener than
once In five days but should wet the
soil to depth of four inches when
applied. Usually watering Is too light
and 100 frequent
