Advertising Dairy
Products
It is interesting to report that the
dairy interests of six states contribut
ed about $285,000 for a campaign to
promote the sale of dairy products.
Early next fall, the American Dairy
Association announces, anew pro
motion will begin, during which some
thing like $-100,000 will be spent to
make American citizens conscious of
dairy products.
This is an interesting illustration
of the use of advertising to widen
the market for farm products. In the
long run, the campaign is certain to
prove beneficial to the dairy industry
and, we might add, to the people
who will be persuaded to buy more
dairy products.
Mr. D. S. Estel, Secretary of the
American Dairy Association, points
out that several states have a tax
on dairy products for the purpose of
providing an advertising fund. The
first promotion campaign was backed
by the dairy interests of lowa, Min
nesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota,
Washington and Montana. It is ex
pected that those of Illinois, Kansas,
Michigan and South Dakota will join
in the effort to increase the market
for dairy products.
It seems to us that the dairy in
dustry has pointed a way to the pro
ducers of other farm products. Just
as the growers of citrus fruits, nuts
and raisins in California have profit
ed greatly by the intelligent use of
advertising, it is possible for other
groups of farmers, if they can organ
ize their efforts,to capitalize upon the
power of advertising to persuade the
consumers to buy.
Only A Matter Of Time
Grand Admiral Erich Rader has
laid Germany’s “sea cards on the
table,” declaring that American con
voys for England will be met by the
guns of the German navy if necessary
Germany, he says, will hold the use
of such convoys to be an act of war.
Moreover, no one can expect a Ger
man commander to stand by idly
when his position is reported to the
enemy by an American warship. The
German commander, in such cases,
faces an actual warlike act, is justifi
ed in demanding cessation of the hos
tile act and is justified in enforcing
it with arms.
The President of the United States
has insisted that the United States
will see that necessary supplies are
delivered to the British.
It is perfectly obvious that, unless
one side or the other is bluffing, it
is just a matter of time before hos
tilities begin.

POULTRY IN GEORGIA
Although not generally recognized
as a major poultry-producing state,
Georgia ranks third in the South
Atlantic group in the annual gross
value of poultry and eggs produced,
says Arthur Gannon, Extension poul
tryman. Poultry enterprises on Geor
gia farms might be divided roughly
into four types: 1. commercial flocks,
2. farm' flocks, 3. home flocks, and
4. broiler enterprises.
Training For Defense
By Rufus T. Strohm
Dean, International
Correspondence School'•
TOO much emphasis cannot be
placed on the marshaling of our
man-power, our machines, and our
natural resources in the stupendous
..I .program of all
out prepared
ness. Schools
('t Y> and c ° llc ses, too,
k-' have a heavy re
'] sponsibility in
S* j this program.
Jd If we are ef
fectively to pro
£*— "I vide for the com-
Rufus T. Strohrn mon defense of
democracy and
freedom in today’s world, every in
dividual and institution in our na
tion must perform a proper part.
Both educators and students must
do their work with the same speed
and efficiency that is demanded of
soldiers and workmen.
Defense training is a widely dis
cussed matter. The experts are pool
ing their opinions and every source
of suppiy is being exploited to aid
the speed-up in training. It is gen
erally agreed by these same experts
that the rate of employment in de
fense industries would be faster if
it Vere not for a shortage of super
visory personnel—managers and
foremen.
In the rush to train workers for
special jobs, so that they may do
certain jobs with their hands, we
should not lose sight of the fact
that America’s ultimate success de
pends largely upon moral and spir
itual preparedness. Perhaps we
should encourage this spiritual
state by warning young men to give
some thought to the longer view—
that of preparing for a permanent
career.
Educators have a job to do in
keeping students interested in the
future as well as the present. The
task of the moment is pressing, but
it is not everything. Democracy is
founded on more than jobs. It is a
state of mind, properly nourished
and properly balanced.

HOW TO BE YOUR
OWN DECORATOR

Director, Good Housekeeping Studio
Color Schemes for Kitchen and Pantry
I ’ *
March as a month is rather a delusion and a snare to a lot of ur, isn’t
! it? Just as we think spring is about to arrive, and want to begin spring
j painting, it turns cold suddenly and we have the snow storm of the
- year. But every month has a specialty and you’ll find
1 | 11 your favorite newspaper full of news about house
i wares, china, and glass sales, so it’s wise to go over
I ujkfl your kitchen and pantry equipment, and turn your
| mtmJA, mind to making these two rooms attractive as well
X|g as efficient. For color schemes are just as important
Jgi here as anywhere else in the house, and there are
I pHHgte.JjjflH so many ways to follow a color theme. f 1 *
iW| For instance, in either or both rooms, begin with
your linoleum floor. If you need anew one lot it be
I the base of your color scheme. If the one you have
is a block pattern, as so many are, with blue, red,
1 and yellow in it, you have a choice of white, pale blue,
HELEN KOUES or straw color for your walls. Your equipment is
I Director Of probably white, so you can choose dark blue linoleum
Go studio with chromium edge for table and sink tops and red
' for your accent color. This red can be used for the
I inside of your cupboards, for canisters, for curtains, for the handles of
knives and forks, cutlery, etc. Other basic color schemes are: block pat-
I terned linoleum in ivory, green, yellow and beige; waits, pale yellow;
• woodwork, deep
’ r—- "g-T ~ 1 yellow; counter
tops, green; cur

I of beige; walls,
’ (j and woodwork,
w : beige ; cove,
,7 - countertop and
v f | ceiling, blue;
s- with fruit design
you’re
j [frighten your kitchen with color buying curtains,
'* remember that
you can buy, by the yard, the same kind of rubberized fabric that is
used for shower curtains. It withstands kitcheq wear and is easily wiped
oif. These curtains you could make. Hem top and bottom and sew small
; brass rings an inch apart at the top and hang on a brass rod. Close them
at night as you would overdraperies. Or you can buy or make the cottage
sets of thin cotton materials in a checked or figured material combined
with a solid color. These are called “double Dutch” in upholstery terms,
and may have the top open with the bottom closed, as shown in the illus
tration. They add a lot to the homey feeling of the kitchen.
e And what does all this decoration cost? Not very much. Our costs
’oday are in the actual equipment of range, refrigerator, and sink, and
even these come in units which are especially priced this month. In a
small kitchen, 9 ft. by 15 ft., for instance, the painting (which you could
do yourself) would cost around sl2 to sls. The linoleum, and it pays to
buy good grade and have it properly laid by being cemented to the floor
over felt, is on the high side, from about $22.50 to $37.50. In anew house,
the linoleum is probably laid as it is considered a flooring. Curtains might
vary from one dollar to two a pair. While canisters come at about $1.50
the set and up. So, depending on who' ; i need, a remodeled color scheme
for the kitchen of linoleum, fresh i ■ i ■ curtains, and canisters would be
about $37 to $57; without linoleum 11.50 to $19.50. <
