DOES ADVERTISING PAY?
Advertising has made the Victrola dog famous.
It has made the cash register a big brother to re¬
tailers all over ihe world.
It is displacing the truck horse with 40 horse trucks.
It has helped you to an appreciation of Stetson
hats, W alk-Over, Douglas and Endicott-Johnson shoes.
It has made the hand-written letter an oddity in
business.
It has put hair oil on heads where no hair oil
would do any good, and on heads where no oil was
needed.
It put Castoria and Tanlac down your throat,
left bristles in your gums, and then came along with
a Rubber set and took them out.
It has put Sozodont, Pebeco and Pepsodent on
your teeth.
It has put a Gillette against your whiskers, Murine
in your eye, sold you Cutieura for pimples, Pears for
the bath and Ivory and Octagon for the tub.
It has put Arrows around your neck and Ingersols
in your pochet.
Go anywhere you want to, do anything you wish,
and advertising has had a hand in it - ab-so-lute-lv.
And then some peeple ask, “Does Advertising Pay?”

Contrary to the general belief that
boll weevils must be eradicated or
reduced in numbers by expensive
poisoning in order to produce a cot
ton, crop, it has been proved by sue
in spite of the weevil
and without the use of poisons where
the infestation is not too heavy. Most
of the steps required are included in
As what they may have be called to do “better mainly farming.’’ with the j |
growth and culture of the plant, they !
are generally known as “cultural
methods of boll weevil control.”
However, the foreging statement
should not be understood to mean that
poison Is not required to produce a
maximum yield and profit. Cultural j
methods should go hand in hand with
the use of poison and by the use of
both in the proper way a profitable
crop Is assured. Use of cultural
methods alone is practicable only j
when conditions are such that poison
can not be used and when the infesta - 1
tion is slight.

especially important to use for r cotton ,
only the most fertile, well-drained !
B °F 8 where the yielding ability is
good and, If possible, located away
from woods which might shelter wee- j
vils in the winter. To reduce the
weevil attack cotton should not follow
cotton. A change of crops reduces
i DBec t attack and increases yields.
Beating the boll weevil depends
no ^ on an extra early date of plant¬
ing but on the crop making a very
rapid growth after It Is planted.
Early preparation of the ground, so
there will be a firm, smooth and well
settled seed bed at planting time,
is very important. ' Planting should
be delayed until all danger from frosts
and cold is past and the soil is warm
to Insure quick sprouting,
rapid growth and a good stand.
Shallow cultivation should be giv j
,en every week or ten days, and con¬
tinued as late as necessary to keep
the crop free from weeds and grass.
Cultivation promotes the growth and
(fruiting of the plant but does not
kill boll weevils directly. It is a
.known and proven fact that with
heavy or light infestation of the
weevils, with the application or with'
out the application of poison, better
farming pays under any and all con¬
ditions.
