One hears great deal about the

preston being created that Presi-

Regina, Sask., Can, July 1882
Dear Friend Charles:
I have been up to Keller and
it is the worst place I have
seen. The people have all
gone away and left the land.
Mr.. Metherell has lost his farm.
He had paid $4,000 on the
place. He lost everything he
had. Tom Marshall lost his
300 acre farm on which he had
paid $4,000. He went farther
up north and took up a home
stead. George Forbs had two
sections of land clear. He has
gone away to the Hudson Bay
country, and is a tramp with
out even 10 cent in his pocket.
Half of the people have left
their farms and gone away.
can get any farm here by
paying the back taxes. There
are IA houses in Keller and all
are empty. The crop prospects
are terrible.
Sincerely,
Jack,
Mr.. Marshall doesn't feel so bat
about conditions in the Sank Cen
the community. He is curious
Gus, however, and wonders If tn
conditions in Canada can be lai,
at the door of President Hoover.

WRIGLEY'S sALESMANSHIP

The late William Wrigley was a
great believer in advertising, as well
he might have been for through ad-
vertising he built in a few years Il
great fortune through the sale of an
unnecessary article. lie gave
the philosophy of his craftsmanship
a few years ago in these words:
Tell 'em quick and tell 'em
often. You must have a good
product in the first place. and
something that people want, for
it's easier to row downstream
than up. Explain to folks plain
ly and sincerely what you have
to sell, do it in as few words as
possible, and keep everlastingly
coming at them.
advertising is pretty much
like running a furnace. You've
got to keep on shOveling coal.
Once you stop stOking, the fire
goes out It's strange that some
peoples imagination can't com
pass this fact"

vesting the crop early and placing
the sweets in storage before Octo-

Field observations and demOnstra-
tiOns which have been carried on
during the past five years have prov
en- the practical value of these ten
practices in the growing of better
sweet potatoes in this State. and
these suggestions have been sent to
all the growers with the hope that
out of these recommendation the
farmers may obtain some infOrma-
ton that will be of help to them in
the raising of Il crop of sweets this
coming year.
In addition to the practices of dis
injecting the seed stock and the use
of clean soil in the seed bed. the
other phase of this disease control
program consists of instantaneously
dipping the roots of sweet potato
plants in disinfectant solutions just
previous to setting in the field. This
project was conducted in the south
ern part of Kent county last year by
the county agent in cooperation with
DR.. J. F. Adams, plant pathOlOgist of
the University of Delaware and the

planned to carry on this work again

used by DR.. Koch.
"The object of this campaign,
continued DR.. Gehrmann, lis TO com
bine the interest and health re-
sources of all Delaware to strike at
the root of this preyentable disease.
We know that every case of tubercu-
losis comes from another. We know
how to stop its spread by breaking
the contact between the sick and
the we'll. We only need to apply
that knowledge in order to make
enormous inrOads on disease which
still kills more people between IL

with the active cooperation of
physicians, our health departments,

our Society in Delaware is under

measures one can adopt in avoiding
tuberculosis and a number OF other
