ADVERTISING SELLS CONIMOD.
tiles

Before Thanksgiving this year,
progressive food stores of the coun-
try carried ON an aggressive turkey
sales campaign. More turkeys were
sold than ever before, and at prices
that were attractive to consumer as
we'll as producers.
Sales methods varied somewhat in
different localities-but the partici-
pating stores seemed to appreciate
the value and necessity of newspaper
advertising. For example, here is
an excerpt from the report of one
large chain system: Newspaper ad-
vertising was carried in all the prin-
cipal metropolitan and rural news
papers in our territory Before
our Thanksgiving demands had been
filled there was decided scarcity OF
turkeys of the top grade in our
market"
Newspapers have been a potent
factor in other food sales campaigns
such as the recent beef and veal
drive.
1t is apparent that this is good busi-
ness all around-for the farmer, for
the merchant, for the newspaper and
for the consumer. In the past, some
retailers have attempted to eliminate
newspaper advertising-and they
have usually found that it was the
poorest kind of economy. "The
paper" it be daily or
week.-Mrs. a fixture of the American
home and finds an eager audience
Pay the farmer fair price, charge
the consumer a fair price, advertise
extensively-and consumption of
commodities scars.

GOOD ROADS AND GOOD
LIVING

A road can make or break
man. It wields a tremendous in
f1uence in his life. 1t carries him
forward, if it is a good road, to
success and the attainment of
happy and well-rounded life. It
and he drops far behind his neigh
bors in the pursuit of a better life;
it retards his ambitions and de-
creases his usefulness, it mires his
ability to earn and lowers his
standard of living A few months
ago in the postofice of a small
North Carolina town 1 ran across
two young men that had not seen
in a long time. I had met them
adm their farmer fathers eleven
years ago on a trip through the
state as highway engineer. Al
though these young men live only
a few miles apart, the farm on
which each was born and brought
up has its own secondary-road ac-
cess to the main highway that
leads to town and the world be-
yond. One of these secondary
roads is good road, properly con
structed and periodically maintain
ed. The other is a deplorable col
lection of ruts that would not justi-
fy the name of cowpath. The same
condition existed eleven years ago.
The two young men came into
the postoffice separately. AS |
talked to the first one, I learned
that he was a college graduate
with special training in journalism.
He told me Of plans to publish the
towns first weekly newspaper He
was eager, well-spoken and force
full. He is the son of the farmer

large number of these young men

ORTHOPEDIC CLINIC OPENED
Seaford Gets the First of Its Kind
Ever Held i'm State

An orthopedic clinic will be open
ed at Seaford, October 22nd, from
two to four in the afternoon, 1t
was announced by the State Board
of Health. after a conference with
DR.. Irvine M. Finn, of Wilmington,
their consultant orthopedist, who
will be in attendance. This will be
the first diagnostic clinic for indi-
gent crippled children conducted
under the auspices of the State
Board of Health. Local physicians
have been invited to attend. This
work has been slowly gaining mo-
mentum throughout the United
States, with the realization that
mmany crippling conditions of
early childhood may be easily al
Ieviated or cured by orthoped1c
surgeons, thereby preventing the
more serious consequences of later
life. Clinics are at present being
held in Lewes and Dover, on the
first and second Thursdays of each

CROP
REPORT MADE
U. S. Bureau of Economics
Tells of Delaware and
the U. S. A.
LARGER CORN CROP

An indicated Delaware corn crop
of 4,38O,OO bushels combined with
the October / farm carryover of old
corn of 24O,OOO bushels points to a
total prospective supply Of corn
about 6 percent larger than that Of
last year and is percent above the
5-yeear (1928-32) average, accord
ing to the October 1 crop survey
made by the Delaware Crop Re
porting Service. September wealth
er favored corn cutting and the
harvesting of soybean hay and
other fall crops but delayed wheat
seeding and checked the growth of
pastures. Farm labor supply on
October 1 was reported a. II per-
cent of normal, the demand at 81
percent.
The 1887 oats crop amounted to
10000 bushels as compared with
81 900 bushels a year ago. Octo-
Der l farm stocks of oats were es-
timated at $4,000 bushels. October
l stocks last year were $1,000
bushels. Farm stocks of wheat on
October 1 of $4,000 bushels COM
pare with $4,000 bushels last year
and the 5-year (1928-32l average
of $4,000 bushels. Buckwheat
production is expected to be slight
ly larger than a year ago.
Total tame hay production is es-
timated at $4,000 tons as compar-
ed with $4,000 tons last year and
the 5-year (1928-32) average of
81, 900 tons. Soybean and cowpea
hay yields were above average.
Ovtozer 1 pasture condition was re-
ported at 80 percent of normal.
Pastures are furnishing a large
amount of feed.
October 1 prospects indicated a
potato production of $4,000 BUSH
els. This is about 3 percent lower
than the September 1 estimate.
Yields of the late crop have been
disappointing. The sweetpotato
crop is estimated at 100000 BUSH
els as compared with 10000 bush
els produced in 1886 and the 5-year
(192S-32) average of 898,000 BUSH
els.
Apple prospects on October l in
dicated a production of 2,612,OOO
bushels. Last years crop amount
ed to 1,925,O0 bushels, the 5-year
1928-32) average to 1,421 900
bushels. While the present crop is
the largest on record the total pack
of the better grades is not expect
ed to be as large as the total pro-
duction indicates for the reason
that there are large amounts OF
scab. codling moth damage, and
under size fruit. The peach crop
was smaller than earlier expected.
Total production is now estimated
at $4,000 bushels as compared
with 100000 bushels last year and
the Swear (1928-32) average of
292, 900 bushels.
Crop prospects in the United
States improved about 2.7 percent
during September but, with the ex-
ception of cotton, most OF the
