MINNESOTA PLAN
URGED FOR FARMERS
Success, Instead of Failure
For Those Adopting
This Idea

Urging that farmers in
others states study the re-
suits of the Minnesota plan
which raised farm income in
the four northwestern states
by seven hundred million
dollars in eight years, an
average of $1,679 per farm,
Publisher Fredrick E. Muir
ply of the Minneapolis Tri-
bune has launched a nation
wide educational campaign
from New York to interest
the business leaders of the
country in agriculture.
Two states, Georgia and
Maryland, have already an
nounced agricultural pro-
grams intended to apply the
lessons of the Minnesota
Plan in their states. News
papers in the western Caro-
linas and in Texas have de.
clared interest in campaigns
patterned after that of the
Minnesota Tribune to better
the basic conditions in their
districts.

Prices and Advertising

''Vast sums spent by large manufacturers
and merchants for advertising are respon-
sible for popular superstition to the effect
that advertised goods are higher in price
than they should be if they were not adver-
tised. The word superstition" is used ad-
visedly, because it has been demonstrated
many times that advertising lowers, instead
of raising, prices.
advertising campaigns are costly and
the consumer must pay for them, but they
are paid for by new business the advertising
attracts. There is nothing paradoxical in a
situation where manufacturer or merchant
adds an extensive advertising appropriation
to his budget and then turns around and
cuts prices.
"Million-dollar advertising programs
make it possible for the manufacturer to
lower his prices by so increasing his produc-
tion that he can effect real economies thru
mass production and can spread his profit
over great number of sales.
Advertising enlarges demand and there
by makes it possible for the retailer to buy
stocks in larger quantities at lower COSTS
Moreover, goods we'll advertised are more
than half sold before the customer enters
the store, which lowers sales resistance and
sales costs.
''The price tags on advertised commodi-
ties are, in themselves, proof that business
can save money, for its customers by spend

Unless the 29,OOO,OO0
Americans who live on our
farms prosper, the nation
cannot prosper" Mr.. Muir
ply declared.
What we have accom-
plished in ten years in the
northwest, Minnesota, the
Dakotas, and Montana,
can be approximated in
others regions, our particu-
lar cure, which was to get
away from wheat growing
and into dairying, livestock,
and general farming, may
not be the correct solution
in many other states.
But the giSt of the Mime
sofa Plan can be applied in
every state. We started in
1'21 bystudying the methods
used on the 200 most sue
cessful farms in each region.
Then we urged the spread
of those methods to the rest
of the farms.
Because the farmers
were unable to get funds,
we organized a ten million
dollar loan fund and the
government promised one
hundred million extra credit
from the War Finance Cor
poration if we needed it.
''In 1921 northwestern
banks were failing in waves.
The fund stopped the fail
ures. Then it financed in

Shades of The Great

In the national capital policemen were
stationed at speakeasies where strangers
were not admitted to picket the places in
order to put them out of business. 1t was
the custom of the policeman to take the
name of each person who entered.
Many great people were customers, a
mong them being George Washington, Her
bert Hoover Charles Curtis and Abraham
Lincoln.

venient for Hoover and Curtis, but j..

dividual farmers in the pur-
chase of cows, livestock,
sheep, and enabled them to
shift over from old style cash
crops to farming which paid
them income, every month
through the year.
1--WE loan the farmer
money with the livestock as
our sole security. Yet from
the livestock the farmer
earned the money to pay off
the loan. Fourteen thou
sand farmers have been
helped by loans already.
And when the country banks
saw the loans were safe,
they began making them,
and thousands of additional
farmers were helped over
the hump to business-like
farming.

ator of a 5000 acre dairy
farm in the Red River Val
ley, formerly devoted to
wheat, specializes in Hol-
stein-Fresian cows, and his
herds hold world records for
production.

the northwest" he contin-
ueS, "was to get the farmers
to raise their own food.
thousands of our wheat
farms were without cows,
pigs and chickens. And they
didn't even have a garden.
Yet the average grocery bill
was $500 a year. That's all
changed now.
''In eight years our four
states gained 288,000 cows.
The rest of the country put
together only gained 283,-
900 COWS. We've raised our
dairy income 55 per cent
since 1921 until it's a three
hundred million dollar in

sow-hen income boosted
farm profits II per cent
since 1921. an average gain
of ninety-five million dollars
a year. And in 1880, in
spite of low farm prices, our
farm income held "a per
cent above 1921.
To-day, in spite of grass
hoppers and drought in GER
tain areas the farm pros
perity of the northwest has
held the whole business tone
of northwest high. The fed
eral Reserve Bank survey of

months of 1881. shows the

It's important to remember
that richer suds mean quicker,

CITY TAKES CLOSE
 CAME BY 28 ID A
 SCORE FROM SCHOOL

In what was considered the most evenly matched, cleanest and interesting basketball game of the season, the clever City defeated the High school "Po- nies" Saturday evening, by the score of 28 to 24. The score real ly tells the tale, nip and tuck throughout every minute of play.
 At the half the score was 10 up.
 Referee Francis Groth, king pin of Alaskan referees, stated after the game that it was the incest played game he had hand led this season.
 "Iron-horse" Guy Manthey, who has been in slump all sea- son, snapped out of it bit and emerged high point man for the City dumping in five goals from the field. For the Ponies" Don Shellhorn took the lead with Il points, three converted fouls and four field shots.
 Elmer, the Wild man from Borneo," played the neatest game in his local career and contrib uted four fine field baskets. Paul, debonair, fleet-footed and elu- sive forward, tossed in two con- verts and two from the field. Eddie Manthey, rangy center, and Otto Sandbeck, the star guard whose favorite indoor pastime is busting up plays, each donated field goal to the cause.
 Sub makes good" would be fitting title for Lange, High school center, who has been playing like a veteran. Besides his heady floor work, he controbuted two field goals and a converted foul. Edwin Sanbeck, "the Flying Norseman," has improved 100 per cent this year in shooting, passing and floor work, put thru two neat field goals. Adolph 'Rog- CTS, "Stonewall Jackson" was a Gibralter of strength to his mates and, for good luck, put two field goals through the hoop. Hatten went in for a few minutes, dur ing the last half, for Rogers, with the latter. finishing in the line up.
