Casey, professor of rural journalism in the University of Missouri. Mr. Casey emphasized the point that the country weeklies now have “a combined circulation of 15,000,000 cop ies weekly, read by 75,000,000 read ers.' “The weekly will survive as it has developed,” he asserted, “that is, through service—service to the. com munity. “In the aggregate the country week ly in America is issued in 12,000 edi tions, 52 times a year; published in 12,000 separate newspaper offices in 8,000 different towns and villages, which offices occupy a combined floor space far in excess of that afforded by the great Woolworth building of modern type of country weekly has prosperity spelled on every page in every issue. “The one unpardonable thing about the country weekly,” said Professor Casey, “is for it to neglect its editori al column to develop its news and ad vertising columns. Many weeklies ig nore the editorial privileges or fill in with some canned stuff from the city syndicate house when there are so many local problems crying for the editor's attention. These things, too, have the right to expect editorial treatment in a small community. “Without its weekly newspaper, the typical American community would be like a school without a teacher, or a church without a pastor,” he conclud ed. “In the aggregate, the country New Yoric city and the great Wrigley weekly determines the outconie of building of Chicago, “The country weeklies with their 75,000,000 readers, constitute in the aggregate, and individually, the best advertising medium of products, sat isfying sing medhin , or protnisii man want that this advertising age has developed.” It was Professor Casey's belief that “w.e will always have the country weekly with us in some form, even though all of our population should move to the city. Those community weeklies, collectively and individually, will always assert a tremendous in fluence for better men and women. As contrasted with the primitive type more elections, exerts a greater influ ence for constructive community pro gress, is read longer by more mem bers of the f^pnily, and constitutes, with its circulation of 15,000,000, a ing to satisfy, a hu- -better advertising medium than any other group of newspapers or periodi cal publications. In addition to which it is the most specialized of publica tions and at the same time the most universal in appeal. When properly conducted, it cultivates so intensively its home news field that city dailies, farm journals and general magazines circulating in the same territory be come -only secondary influences at best.” CABBAGE PLANTS—Home grown, open exposure, Charleston Wake field variety.

' *; Senate leaden expect the house to accept the amendment which would < ► appropriate $1,200,000 for beginning j * } work on the three scout cruisen this year and the prevailing opinion at 1 the capitol is that Mr. Coolidge will i sign the naval bill with thisi provision : in it. Even if the amended bill becomes a law it would not necessarily follow that work would be started on the ad ditional craft this year as under the amendment the president could direct ithe navy department to withhold the letting of bids. The chief executive has taken the position that the construction of the \ cruisers at this time is not essential ( < and that it would be the better policy < to defer the letting of contracts pend- j ing the outcome of the efforts now be ing made at Geneva to bring about another disarmament conference. Both sides of the controversy over the cruisers had their say in the sen- < ► ate last week and the vote on the amendment came today without fur- ther debate after Senator Curtis, the - < \ majority leader, who stood with the president, had announced he was rea dy for the test of strength. The cruiser amendment whicih the house rejected several weeks ago on a roll call vote, after having adopted it by a teller count, was sponsired by Representative Tilson, the Republican leader, who declared he 'did not con sider it contrary to the president’s! views. It would have apropriated less ! than half a million dollars to be used! for drawing plans and making other preliminary arrangements for the con struction of the cruisers. « You, too, want f fcpL® h®st! ft Wom^n of keen buying judgment have learned never to sacrifice quality to a lower price.

Stroup Every crop you harvest leaves your land poorer—unless you enrich the soil with a good fertilizer 4, AA QUALITY’’ Fertilizers do more than carry the burden of feeding the current crop. They build up your land gen erally and enrich the soil for succeeding seasons. They build up run-down fields and make them profitable. They give you heavy yields of better quality products. That’s because “AA Qual ity” Fertilizers are made right. Their formulas are the re sult of years of scien tific research. They supply crops with just the right plant food elements, in proper proportions and such perfect con dition that they are available to each plant during every stage of its growth. They bring crops to an earlier—and more profitable —maturity. The materials in “AA Qual ity” Fertilizers are most care fully prepared, mixed, curedand remilled. That’s why they al ways work uniformly in drill or planter. They are made by the largest fertilizer manufac turing company in the world! And backed by a first, a second and a third genera- tion of consistent, en thusiastic users! . . . whose farms have been enriched, whose yields have been in creased, whose profits have mounted into big money.
