ADVERTISING REDUCES
50 EXPENSE

Liberal use of advertising has con-
trituted to make low rates possible
and has shortened by one-half the
time necessary to attain the present
stage of electrical development in the
United States" says w. H. Hodge,
Manager Of Advertising Department
of the Byilesby Engineering and
Management Corporation Of Chicago.
Collectively the third largest in
dustry in the country, the utilities
should be large advertisers. It is esti-
mated that they are spending today
an amount equal to about one-half
of per cent of their gross revenue
In this way. From IS to rs per cent
of their total advertising expenditures
are IN the newspapers.
about one-third of the utility's
advertising dollar is spent for selling
appliances and is charged to sale price
Of merchandise. One-tfird goes for
sale of securities on customer-owner-
ship plan and is an investment ex~
pcnse. One-third is used to build up
service output and explain the bust
ness and its affairs and is chargeable
to operating expenses. This last
third is equivalent to about 4 mills on
average monthly bill for electric SER
vice and is SO small it cannot posi-
bly, add to rates.
Advertising keeps down and re-
duces rates by creating market value
which in turn permits the economies
Of mass production and lower d;stribu-
ton expense"

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.

Blood pressure is an index not a
disease. Everyone has blood pres
sure just as every one has a pulse. To
keep it normal is largely within ones
control, says DR.. A. E. STUNT, state
director of health.
The only person who can interpret
your blood pressure intelligently is the
physician who has knowledge Of many
things about your body and your
health. The physician who is most
likely to have this knowledge is the
one who has been your physician for
some time. Low blood pressure, usu-
ally indicates lack Of general tone.
High blood pressure, on the other
hand, directs attention to certain dis
eases, the changes due to advancing
years and especially in women to dis
turbance of middle age. These con-
ditions, like all others are most effec-
lively and often successfully treated
only when discovered early. A blood
pressure test therefore should be a
part of every good examination.
Visible throbbing arteries do not
mean high blood pressure. Nor does
loss of blood necessarily lower it.
High blood pressure does not signify
too much blood or any change at all
in the blood itself but means that the
blood is attempting to circulate under
abnormal resistance.
That one is as old as his arteries
is popular saying. High blood pres
sure too often shows that the patient
while perhaps knowing the old saying,
has not realized what he could do to
insTu nee the matter. BY overeating
and drinking, chronic constipation, re-
pcated unnecessary colds and their in
fections he has carried a load for
years under which he has finally
bf:xen down.
High blood pressure may indicate
tissue changes in the kidneys or nsart.
Low blood pressure may be early
symptoms Of cancer, tuberculosis, or
other wasting di-~ases. Resolve. you
who are of middle age. to have a
complete physical examination yearly.

SUGAR FROM CORN

A new market for 100,000,0Q0 bu-
shells of corn annually will be created
through the use of corn sugar, ac-
cording to George Kuhns, President
of the Bankers Life Insurance Com
pany.
"A fine quality of granulated sugar
suitable for all purposes is now being
manufactured from corn" he says.
Manufacture of corn sugar on a
large scale and the cultivation of the
taste of the American public for corn
sugar offers solution of the acute
maikcting problem now confronting
farmers of the corn belt.
Creation of this new market for
one hundred million bushels OF corn
annually will solve our corn surplus
problem and benefit every business
interest of every corn growing state
in the Union.
"The present pure food law was
enacted before the process for thu
manufacture of corn sugar was dis
covered. For that reason, corn sugar
is not designated as pure sugar ane
under the old law a Gamer cannot
use corn sugar unless he labels his
product adulterated. This kills the
sale of corn sugar in that importan,
market. Amendment of the law tc
cure this discrimination will at once
open a wide market for corn suga,
and give an immediate outlet for the
surplus of the present record crop o.
corn.
"There is no waste in the process
of corn sugar manufacture. A bushe
of corn can be converted into 2.
pounds of corn sugar; one and one
half pounds of corn oil; Is pounds o
molasses and IA IL pounds of CLUTTER
stock food and oil meal. The by-pro
ducts find a ready market.
Corn sugar has all the excellen
qualities of cane sugar except it will
not make jelly and it is not quite a
sweet as cane sugar. This, however
is matter of taste and of educating
the taste. AS compared to cane su
gar, it is much more easily digestet
and has equal purity. 1t is equal i,
food value and has superior canning
and preserving values"

CONTROLLING THE BUFFALO
TREE HOPPER

A study Of the injury by the Buff
falo tree hopper to apple trees planted
in alfalfa, clover, peas, and in clean
cultivated ground at the Irrigation
Branch Experiment Station at Pros
ser has been completed.
The Buffalo tree hopper is a small,
triangular shaped, green insect about
three-eighth of an inch long. 1t has
curious hump giving it fancied re-
semblence to male buffalo. The
injury is all done by the females in
laying eggs on the smaller branches
of trees. These eggs are deposited in
small Sits made by the female in the
tender bark. Hundreds of incisions
are often made in square inch, re-
tarding the growth of the twigs. This
in turn checks the growth of the en-
tire tree. The insects feed on near
by vegetation. Clean cultivation has
given the best means of control.
Apple trees wers' planted on six
acres at TIE Station in 1922 and the
area divided into four plots. Plot No.
/ was in three-year- alfalfa, Pho,
No. was seeded to red clover, Plot
No. 3 to peas, and Plot No. 4 was
clean cultivated. The peas were re.
seeded each year.
At the end of two years the tree
hoppers had made extensive scarifi-
cations on all the trees. The limbs OF
the trees in the alfalfa plot were ex-
ceptionally bad. In the red clover the
damage was not so severe; in the peas
it was mild; and very few scars were
found on the. trees in the clean cult
waited plot.
The entire orchard tract was plowed
in the summer Of 1924 and has been
clean cultivated The tree hoppers
have practically been starved out and
the new twigs are smooth and nor
NAL
Even with the added value of in
corporated cover crops the injured
trees have not fully attained the size
and vigor of the trees in the clean
cultivated plot. An average of trunk
circumference from. each plot indicate
the extent of the injury caused and
are approximately proportinate to the
infestation. Trees in the clean cu,.i.
waited plot average 1922 centimeters
in circumference, and: the plot in peas
2l:s7, in red clover 20.74, while in the
alfalfa plot the average is only 1900
centimeters.
Some degree of control may be &C.
complished during the pruning season
w removing the twigs infected with
eggs and burning them. The most eff
teective and practical method is to
starve the insects out by clean cult
vat.on. In: establishing young or
chards cultivated crops are often
grown between the trees. Such crops
are not good feeding grounds for the
hoppers and ifffestations are mild,
The slight injury resulting is probably
more than offset by the cash value OF
the intercrop. 80
