I Mr. MdMahon told the conference I that daily newspaper reading is an ! outstanding habit of the American public. > "A financial advertiser has assur| a nee that today he can reach the, lit? I irate population of any or all comI munities by advertising in the newsI pa.jK'rs, he said. "You may not have received any advertising by mail, but most of you will read the newspapers. Thus newspaper advertising duplicates the influence of all other advertising and touches in addition fields that are exclusively its own." Despite occasional statements that newspaper space is too costly to be efficient in the educational job of the trust company, Mr. 'MlcMahdn said that as a matter of fact newspaper advertising enjoys the advantage of costing less than any other form of advertising. Population, wealth and buying power are concentrated about the points where daily newspapers are published, he said, and newspaper advertising 'opens the door' for our representatives and slaves their time once they are face to face with their prospects. An even 100 persons were drowned in this state in 1930.

The twelve dealer*, two each Croni Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi will /be selected in a contest based on the efforts of the dealers to promote the use and sale of the Chilean product. * Last summer to mark the 100th anniversary of the first importation of Chilean uitrate to the United States 11 party of fifteen agronomists and agricultural experts were taken to South America to inspect the nitrate mines and plants and to visit the principal cities of Chile. The success of this trip toward explaining the value of proper fertilization influenced the educational Bureau to offer the same opportunity to dealers. The winners in each state, according to the announcement will be selected by an impartial committee of three judges selected from each state. The winners will be judged by reports which they will submit not later than July 1st, describing efforts to promote the sale of Chilean nitrate of personal contacts, speeches, demonstrations, newspaper advertising and the like, The dealers iwill sail from New York and will visit the Panama Canal enroute to Chile. They will visit Santiago, the Capital of Chile and other cities in that country and will spend a number of days in the nitrate fields to get first !ha/nd information on production met/hods. It is believed that this is the first time that opportunity for such a trip has been offered to fertilizer dealers in the South.

Lake Murray' with its 62,000 water-cove rod acres: Can be the center of an enormous natural paradise for fishermen if the South Carolina legislature wi\l pass an act setting a catch limit on gam? fish and licensing anglers. Lewis Rad'cliffe, Deputy United States Commissioner of Fisheries, and G, C. Leach, chief of the fish hatcheries | divisiop, said while visiting Columbia. Protection of b)ac<k bass by limitation of this catch to 12 or 15 fish over ten inches long is especially necessary if the igame fish is to thrive in Lake Murray and generally over South Carolina, the federal authorities maintained.

"Bass can be as big an advertise- t<. ment?) and drawing card for South Carolina as iodine," Mr. Kadcliffp said. "l^tke Murray is a natural homo for black bass, which are hdtionally sought by anglers," he added. "'South Carolina waiters are well-suited for bass and win m-water fish, as they have here plenty of food, water and n long warm season."
