SEE FARM RELIEF IN
BUTTER ADVERTISING

Dairy specialists of the agricultur-
al extension division of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota see possibility of
relieving the depression in butter
prices by concerted advertising
say that the low prices are due to
throughout the country, plan sug-
gested by The Morris Tribune. They
production than to under-con-
sumption, and that if consumption
could be stimulated by advertising
the demand would catch up with sup
ply and butter production would
again be put on a paying basis.
The Morris Tribune's contention is
that the per capita consumption of
butter has been increasing for sever
al years and that with the present
low prices there is "a golden opport-
unity for extension of the market"
The thing to do, says the Tribune, is
for publishers of newspapers to make
a concerted drive to advertise butter,
getting merchants to include butter
in their advertisements, giving prices.
This method has built up the demand
for so-called butter substitutes, and
it would do the same for butter with
the advantageous prices now ruling.
Extension specialist point out that
an effective campaign of the sort
would give effective farm relief,
would sell butter for the merchant,
and, in addition, would create good
will among the farmers for the mer-
chants. Besides, it would benefit the
consumer who through desire for
economy and ignorance of present
butter prices is resorting to butter
substitutes.
