ADVERTISING AIDS FARMER IN
INCREASING CONSUMPTION
Sherman lTeX.) Democrat

From time to time we are occupied with
speculation as to what aid may be given the So
luton of farm problems by chemurgy, new
uses and new products. But in the cheese in
dustry we have an example OF an immense de-
velopment benefiting a wide area, and all of
this without damage to the original producing
areas. The one thing that made it all possible
was Advertising, creating the increased con-
sumption that made the expansion possible.
Twenty years ago Wisconsin practically had
la monopoly on the output Of cheese in this
country, making about rs per cent Of all our
domestic cheese. In 1888, Wisconsin produced
less than AZ per cent Of the total. But Wiscon-
sin is making more pounds of cheese than ever
before.
Well known is the Wisconsin fight to protect
her dairy industry, striking particularly at the
South in a prohibitive tax or tariff on marga-
rine. Just now wisconsin is complaining of the
federal farm program that is encouraging the
South to extend it's dairy farming operations.
But the milk and cheese industry had started
it's spread to other sections than Wisconsin,, in.
Guiding the South, long before the crop control
was thought of.
But what has happened in the past two dec.
AIDES, under the impetus Of advertising? Per
capita consumption of cheese in the United
States climbed from 35 pounds in 1920 to 5.58
pounds in 1888 and an estimated six pounds is
set for this year. This jump, aided by an in
crease in population, has developed a cheese
industry that is nationwide.
The cheese roducing states, in order of i'm,
p%ortance, are now Wisconsin, New York, Hi.
nois, Indiana, Oregon, Texas, Ohio, California,
Michigan, Minnesota, Idaho and Missouri.
Now the irate Wisconsin citizen can only
blar.e a large share of the development on the
promotion, by advertising, of cheese from a
minor food to a major food. And the same
thing has happened to the promotion of canned
milk, the plants now scattered over the coun-
try after the fashion Of the cheese plants, and
the end of both developments is not in sight.
Mass distribution, made possible by advertis-
ing, probably can help in other divisions Of
agriculture, with advantages for both the con.
sumner, the manufacturer and the farmer, and
for all sections Of the country.

WHY THEY JAYWALK

4 canvass Of the man in the street reveals
"a general approval of the police campaign
against jaywalking and signal-crashing. There
is wide appreciation of the effort the police
are making to improve a bad situation, and
all agree-that is, all questioned-that both
these violations Of the city's ordinance create
hazards that ought not to exist.
But the concensus is that as long as the
right turn on the red light remains as a
menace to the security Of all persons afoot
at intersections, pedestrians will continue to
cross streets on the wrong light as a means
of safety. They claim there is less danger in
moving on the wrong signal. with traffic COM
ing at them at right angles, than in going
forward on the green light only to have motor
cars swinging at them on the flank with no
means of knowing it except by looking over
the shoulder.
The point is we'll made. It states the case
against the right turn on the wrong light
plainly, and explains in large measure the
popular Indifference to rules governing down.
town pedestrians. Probably it accounts for
the start of rebellion against and disobedience
of pedestrian rules.
These same people, who have frankly admit
ted that they want to stop jaywalking and
signalcrashing but are afraid to do so, won
der why the city permits right turns on red
lights when it is so obviously a hazard of
accident, especially as the police are making
a conscientious effort to do away with haz-
ards. If the safety campaign is to be truly
effective, they say, and say truly, the red
light turn must be eliminated.
The city will never have a better oppor-
tunity to repeal this pernicious ordinance than
now.
