PREPARATION FOR BEET HARVEST SHOULD
Be MADE EARLY

1t is not too early to give some thought to the COM
ing beet harvest, which is now only a few weeks away.
In the first place, if you are not supplied with labor
for topping, be sure that yoru heldman has your require
ments at once, so that no opportunity for securing stats
factory labor may be overlooked.
some storms makes it necessary that labor houses be in
condition to make the labor comfortable. A number of
labor houses are in need of repairs. and this work should
be done promptly SO labor can be received at any time
of arrival.
If you are going to build a new beet rack, or if the
old one is in bad shape, take the first opportunity of get l,
ting this work out of the way. Perhaps your puller needs
new points, or other repairs; the wagons may need over
hauling; or the harness require mending so as to take
care OF the heavy loads OF beets. 1t is sure that the work
horses will need careful conditioning before going into
the heavy work OF harvest.
Give all these matters your attention ahead OF time
so that when the dumps open you are READY TO GO.
The beet crop is now making a splendid growth. Keep
the beets growing continuously by careful attention to ir-
rigation.

We want to SO on, not because of our

But because of the people who care.

More newspaper advertising by

strongly urged at the recent onv

He backed up hif plea with definite

at is my firm conviction that banks
can use newspaper Advertising with
great success" Mr.. Morehouse said.
Newspapers go into the honesty
their use as a medium the people OF a
whole community may be reached in
a single day. Because a bank cannot
directly trace a large volume OF new
business to newspaper advertising
does not prove that the medium is in
effective as a business-builder.
THE fact that there are certain
kinds OF newspaper advertising which
do not produce good results ought not
to brand the medium al Ineffective.

snumerate the various services which

Use headings which arouse interest at
