MISS JAMES REELECTED

Madison-The Wisconsin Women's
Progressive association ended its
three-day convention here Thursday
night with the election of officers.
Miss Ada James, Richland Center,
was reelected president; Mrs. Gran
Vile Trace, Milwaukee, vice-presi-
dent, and Mrs. Harold Proctor, Viro-
qua, cretary-treasuler. The session
Thursday night developed into fac
tional fight between those desiring
change in the organization to pro-
vide for a controlling executive COM
mittee and those wanting the officers
TO be in charge of the association.
Charge was made by Mrs. Trace that
the wet interests among the women
were trying to gain control through
provision for the executive committee,
and the plan was defeated.

P. o. DEPARTMENT RESTRICTS
USE OF WINDOW ENVELOPES

Increasing demand for the use OF
window envelopes, which effect eco
Monies to mailers, has resulted in the
appearance of styles that cause ex-
penditure of unnecessary time and
labor on the part of postal employees,
and the post Office department has
prescribed conditions governing ac-
ceptance Of such letters, according &c
notice which has been sent out to
Postmasters.
These regulations provide that the
window must be parallel with the
long sides of the envelope, properly
located, transparent and free from
glaze. No printing is permitted
about the windows. The envelope
must be made of white OF very lightly
tinted paper. Enclosures must be
folded so nothing but the name and
address are exposed, and so they will
not shift in the envelope.

(From Milwaukee JournaD
persons left farms in the United
States fol the cities last year as COM
pared to the normal hegira of $50, 0G0,
according to c. w. Pugsley, assistant
secretary of agriculture, who spoke
Thursday night before nearly 1000
Wisconsin farmers assembled in a
merchandise conference here.
The Washington official made the
announcement on the basis of sur
vey recently completed, in connection
with his plea to the leaders of agri-
culture in this state to do something
to interest the rising generation in
staying on the farms.
Il am not one who keeps everybody
who is on the farm from going to the
city," Mr.. Pugsley said. "The cities
Awould be in bad way if people from
the farms ceased going to the city.
The farms furnish the red blood which
keeps the cities going"
Farm Like Tripod
Mr. Pugsley drew for his hearers a
word picture of farm conditions in
any community. Each farm is sup
ported as on tripod, the three legs
of which are economic production, OF
better farming, economic distribution
or better business, ard economic
homes, or better living. If either of
the legs of the tripod is impaired
the entire farm shows the defect, he
said.
Too much attention cannot be paid
to economic production, in fact more

ENFORCING SPUD LAWS

Actions were commenced by the

ing and labelling requirements at
state shipping points.
Present regulations of the market
ing department require labelling OF
cars or tagging of sacks of potatoes
to show the grade of the product OF
the fact that it is ungraded. These
regulations, the department contends
were not carried out by some ship
pers.

pertinent, is prosecuting the actions.

THE PRESS AND THE FARM

MadisOn-Chief among the factors
depended upon for the success of the
great merchandising plan for Wiscon-
sin farm products, particularly those
of the dairy farm, is the press OF the
state, Andrew W. Hopkins, of the col
lege of agriculture, told the farmers
conference here Thursday.
Mr.. Hopkins said: 'The entrance of
advertising into the farm field is
easily one of the great factors in the
field of agriculture in this decade.
Supported by other merchandise steps
judicious advertising will bring re-
suits"

Urges Trade Name

Establish a trade name backed up
by standard and advertise it," he
urged. "The trade mark of partic-
ular brand of soap is worth $4,000, 600.
1t is listed at that on the company's
inventory. A baking powder trade
mark is valued at 100000. What
do you suppose the value of the trade
mark of the Pacific coast raisins IS
worth
"a few years ago these raisin
growers had 5000 tons of raisins on
their hands and there was no market
for them. They were about to dump
them into the bay when merchandise
ing man was called in. He told them
to put them up in 5 cent bags. The
public was told it needed more iron
in its system. What happened?
Those raisin growers are selling to
iobbers now under contracts which
enable the growers to fix the price
on the day of delivery. Their adver-
Using bill now runs to about $1,000
coo a year. But that is small item
to the returns they get. They cant
keep up with the demand now, Instead
of considering dumping their crops
into the bay"
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1923-02-08

production should be striven for, he
said, but the farmer must not lose
sight of the other two legs of the
tripod.
Under the head of economic dis
tiibuticl, Nh. Pugsley urged Wiscon-
sin farmers to establish standards
and see that these standards are res
pected in the central markets. Or
anges, raisins and apples were mere
~ fruit as such until the growers of
the Pacific coast established stand
ards, trade names and advertised,
with guarantee behind the advertis-
ing of standard, which gives the
consuming public confidence that
when it buys an orange of a particu-
lar brand or raisins of certain trade
name, or apples with slogan, it is
buying first class products.
Poor Methods Failure Cause
The majority of farmers have not
understood, he said, the principles UNI
derlying cooperation. A recent sur
vey by the department of agriculture
shows that 80 per cent of the failures
of CO. operative societies were because
of poor business methods. Contact
with the membership of the eo-opera-
tive society must be maintained by
the leaders, who must also look sharp
ly to the matter of bookkeeping, adj
vertising, packing and STANDARDIZED
ton, if cooperative societies are to be
success.
The plea to interest the people who
are on the farms, particularly the
boys and girls, to assure future
generation of agriculturists, was CIV
en- during the discussion of better liv-
ing.
Frank w. Lovejoy, formerly of The
Agriculturist, Racine, now an adver-
Using expert of New York, discussed
the proposition of expanding the mar
ket for farm products through adver-
Using at the Thursday afternoon ses-
sion.
