But mod- ci rn farmers have found scores of mays by which they can attract buy- F rs for their products. The sugges- o ions offered herewith are designed ti articlarly for the farmer who is in q position to supply a given grade of oods in sufficient quantities to meet I stable demand. Butter, eggs, live nd dressed poultry, dressed meat, come-rendered lard, sausage, fruit nd vegetables are amon' the com- v nodities the sale: of whoh can be lettered by some form of farm ad rertising. There are many means of direct ippeal to buyers which are made par icularly profitable by .he tremendous ncrease in au",) travel. To'lay that arn is remot- indeeri which is not assed many timcs a week by town )r city motorists, the majority of ,vho mare nossibhe customers for the armer. Consequently he must look vell to the apnearance of his place. Perhaps unsightly fenatures of which )e is not consciois exist, but th pas ;er-by, keen to discern these signs of axness, hesitates to purchase at such i farm. Uses for Bulletin Boards. A bulletin board near the front gate is a big asset, if carefully pre pared. In addition to the name of the farm or the farm owner, it should state in simple, large type thykinds of produce for- sale and the prices. Some farmers have found supplemen Lary notices, placed at a proper dis Lance on either side of the main bul letin board, very valuable in calling attention to the latter. Suggested wording of these follows: Fair Valley Farm Read Marketing Bulletin Ahead There are various ways in which the farm name can be displayed to the owner's financial advantage. Any farm will be better remembered by pass ing strangers if its name appears in neat lettering over or beside the main entrance or across the face of barn. The farmer who possesses an auto truck-and he is legion these dlays--is overlooking a splendid adver tising opportunity if he does not have the name of his farm and his special liroducts neatly lettered on the side I of his vehicle. Then every trip to j town is a reminder to hund rels, per haps thousands, of people that the I owner is still "on the map." One j dairy farmer who built up a large retail trade not $nly carried on his I vehicles the name of his farm, but made all his trucks and wagons even more distinctive by painting them a dark yellow. Letterheads a Help. Printed letterheads are a real asset for the farmer who is seling to either | wholesale or retail trade.

Many a farmer v uld well afford to make sufficient in- i: stment to provide attractive living 1; arters for a married helper and his y mliy. Such a hand, once secured and ( mfortably settled, will be apt to stay t ith his employer for a period of i 3ars. The hiring of single men,. as t common in many parts of the coun 'y, while involving little or no out- a .y compared with that involved in ac- t >mmodating a married helper and b is family, may prove to be less pro- t table in the long run.
