I spend the majority of my time
Htrying t0 manage a mercantile bustM
* . . but as I have a good partIner
that job ain't so hard. But
what 1 started out to tell about is
1 the freak schemes manufacturers
frequently resort to in an effort to
get belter distribution of their products.
The "free goods" deal is their main
' .. .as if there' ever was such
lathing as "something far nothing."
l hate these so-called "free deals"
I worse than old Satan hates piety.
Our firm never passes them on: we
I figure what the stuff costs and add
la little profit and sell it.
The country's soap makers are the
I worst of all at trying to fool the pubI
public with free goods. They simply
I can't sell you an article unless they
give you 2 just like it for nothing.
B That "is. they call it that. The only
I time anybody ever gave me anything
I absolutely gratis was when a girl
B gave me the measles and then she
swore I took cm.
I But to make a long story longer:
I a'few months ago a prominent soap
B concern (evidently) borrowed 3 or 4
crazy persons from an insane asylum
I and they formulated the following
I sales plan: They instructed the reI
tailors to sell 5-cent soap at 2 cakes
B for 5 cents. That Rooked easy....
I ..The merchants immednately beI
gan to offer soap at half price. They
I sent a man around to check up how
B much soap each merchant had when
he started. This man counted his
I soap and then gave him a due bill
I for 1 cake of soap for every 2 cakes
B he sold. A copy of this due bill was
sent to New York to be signed by
the janitor of the soap grease peddler,
B and validated by the president.
I ..After everybody in New Jersey
and Chicago had approved the said
I due bill, a -copy was sent back to the
I merchant. A few days later the
I merchant's jobber got a copy. He
I billed out a case (or more) of soap
to the merchant, deducted the cost
of the "free" soap, and charged him
the difference. It took 24 transaction
> to handle a single order. Nobody
knows anything about it, not
even the company that put it over.
We have several bales of papers in
our >dfiee about this free soap, but
they are only papers. We hope the
crazy folks will be sent for at once
and help us unravel the "sales" mystery.
It would take 10 columns to
exp a n its intricacies. So far, no
one has found out what these folks
were driving at. And they can't tell
u> hcmselves.

Tomatoes For Home
In Continuous Supply
Clemson College, April 30.?With u
little attention in the way of planning
for different plantings and with
reasonable care in the control of
pests, a continuous supply of tomatoes
can be hnd in most sections of the
state from the latter part of May
until frost, and even much later than
the frost killing date, says E. H,
Rawl, extension horticulturist.
To have continuous supply of this
fine vegetable for the home garden
three distinct settings of the plant
aro advised?or better still?four ,
plantings, The first planting should
be made in the various sections of
the state as soon as danger of frost
is past. The seed for the first planting
should be planted in hotbeds eight
to ten weeks before tijne for setting
in the garden. The second planting
should be made May 15 to June 1; the
third planting July 10 to July 25; and
the fourth planting the latter part
of August. The seed for the second,
third and fourth plantings should be
planted 5 or 6 weeks before the plants
are needed for the garden. If these
plants can be transplanted at least
once before the final setting, better
results will be obtained.
The ideal soil for the first planting
is sandy loam that is well drained
and that permits of early warming,
Mr. Kawl advises. For the later
plantings, a heavy soil .that will retain
mcgo moisture is better suited.
Fertile soil that will grow snap beans
and Irish potatoes is suitable. In
any case, deep and thorough preparation
and good drainage are essential,
with thorough and shallow cultivation
at all times.
AN ESKIMO HERO
Twelve Year Old Boy (lives Remarkable
Exhibition of Devotion
Ottawa, April 20.-j-A 12-year-old
Eskimo boy took a hitfh place today
in the long roster of heroes of the
far north.
Harnessed to a sled with two ailing
dogs, he Saved his sick mother's
life by pulling her over 160 miles of
ice and snow to safety at Wagner
Inlet post.
**The feat,, performed in the midst
of winter, the wildest time of the
year, is described by Constable J. W.
McCormack, of the Cherfield Inlet
post in the -annual report of the Royal
Canadian mounted police.
Eladenac, father of the unnamed
boy, died in 1930. His wife Kud1
luk stuck to her oath not to remarry,
and her son took up the task of hunting
food. But his luck was bad, meat
was scarce, and his mother became
seriously ill.
Then the dogs began to die of distemper,
until only two were left. So,
when he saw his mother was getting
no better he put her and his 3-yearold
brother on the sled and started
the terrible journey, from Igloo to
the post.
"For a kid of his age to be able
to find his way to the post through
a maze of mountains and lakes is a
great compliment to the young native's
ability as a traveler when it
comes to a hard pinch," said the constable's
report.
Kudluk got well, but she is still unmarried?
She bad rejoined her tribe
and accepted the only alternative, j
She has beeome the camp drudge.
TRADE ILL REMEDY
V
Is To Be Found in Advertising Persistently
Done.
Greater and better advertising was
advanced as a proof positive remedy
for the present business ills, by Gilbert
T. Hodges, president of the Advertising
Federation of America.!
speaking at the Poor Richard Club in
Philadelphia recently.
Iwr. Hodges ciieu instances where
during last year, many concerns by
consistent and intelligent advertising;
increased sales and profits, one of
these to the extent of a 50 per cent.
gain.
"The Federation has just comple-,
ted a study of actual business experiences
of the ups and downs of many
[important business concerns," said,
Mr. Hodges, "in order to bring facts
to the support of its theories. It hastudied
the happy experience of companies
that have maintained advertising
continuity, and it has pursued '
the unhappy experience of firms that
have abandoned continuity.
"Broadly speaking, the Federation
found that those concerns which had j
the vision to maintain advertising ,
continuity had added greatly to the
momentum of their business year after
year, and had constantly grown in
importance and earning power.
"It found, on the other hand, that
those firms which lacked this vision,
and which turned their backs on advertising
continuity bad lost more or
less rapidly all the prestige they had
once possessed."

Farming Hints For
Attention In May
Clomaon College, May* 2.?Remind-1
era of essential May activities for
field, orchard and garden are given
below by K. W. Hamilton, extension
agronomist; K. H, Kawl, extension
horticulturist; J. T. MeAlister, exten-1
sion agricultural engineer; and Alfred
Lutken, extension entomologist-pathologist.
' J
Agronomy.?Soybean and cowpea
seed are cheap. Plant a large acreage
for feed and soil improvement.
Better increase the corn acreage to I
sure to have plenty of feed. I
Side-dressing corn and cotton with
nitrogen gives good returns on fertilizer
money. Early sweetened poison
on cotton will kill the early weevils
and let the early squares develop. I
Horticulture. ? Sow cabbage and
collnrd about May 15 for August
transplanting. Sow tomatoes for 1
July transplanting. Mulch tomatoes
heavily with straw or leaves to hold
moisture and prolong fruiting. l>o
not cultivate beans while the foliage
is wet. Apply nitrate of soda to
garden crops if not growing well. Do
not cut young asparagus too closely,
fertilize and manure the bed after
eutting season. 1
Agricultural Engineering.?Sharpen
harrow disks for cutting in cover
crops. Use weeder, spike-tooth harhow,
or rotary hoe to break crusts
formed over young seedlings. Equip
the two-horse cultivator with disk
hitlers or small sweeps for early cultivations.
Keep working parts of
machines greased or oiled as this is
cheaper than repairs. Order repairs
and recondition all machinery for the
grain harvest. Recondition poultrylaying
houses. Provide screens for
dwellings, milk houses, etc.
Insects and Diseases.?'Spray fruit
trees for curculio, codling moth and
diseases. Spray pecans with Bordeaux
to control scab. Band apple
trees for codling moth by May 15.
Control melon anthracnose with 4-4-50
Bordeaux-lead arsenate spray. To
avoid serious budworm injury plant
I corn in lower South Carolina about
May 5; middle South Carolina May
10;* upper South Carolina May 20.
Control Irish potato and tomato diseases
and insects with Bordeaux-lead
arsenate spray.
Dairying.?Plan for two tons of
soybean or peavine hay for each
mature cow and one ton for eac
yearling. If. a silo is planned for
this fall, have ample corn or cane to
fill Plant enough extra corn to supply
eight bushels of corn-and-cob
meal per cow this winter. Sow onehalf
acre of Sudan grass, or Teosinti
or Pearl Millet for soiling purposes
in July and August. Do not graze
permanent pastures too closely. Clean
out the barns and premises to save
manure and destroy breeding places
for flies.
Animal Husbandry.?Place weaning
pigs on succulent forage, and give
them all they will eat of a well-balanced
concentrate. See that young
pigs are not on territory infested
with internal parasites. Observe the
pigs for lice and if infested grease
them with motor oil. Feed 30 days
and market sows which have not
raised good litters. Feed the lambs
in a creep with a palatable wellbalanced
concentrate. Use oats as a
; concentrate for horses and mules
starting suddenly to the spring wor
Observe beef cows with young calves
closely and see if the udders need
milking. If sheep arc infested with
stomach worms give them treatment.
Poultry.?Clean and disincect the
brooder houses each week. Cull all
weak, slow growing pullets and sell
as broilers. Cull the non-laying hens
and sell. Do not keep boarding hens.
Remove males from laying flock when
incubation season is over. Produce
infertile eggs. Provide shade for
growing chicks.

Weevils pn't ruin
An early crop
IT is not surprising that we have one of the
heaviest of all weevil infestations this year.
A remarkably mild winter, a late, damp spring*
the possibility of a wet summer?this combination
of conditions is ideal for the weevil.
What he does to the crop however, depends
pretty much on what he finds when he begins to
get around in large numbers. If.he finds squares,
it will be just too bad. But if he finds the crop
already set, he'll have plenty to worry about.
The job is to get your crop set just as early
as you can. And there is nothing like a Chilean
Nitrate side-dressing to do it. Immediate availability,
quick action, lasting vigor and vitality?
these are reasons why Chilean Nitrate is so
valuable, so effective for side-dressing cotton.
Put down ICO pounds per acre (200 pounds
would be better) right after chopping. That
ought to pull you through this year. But be sure
you get Chilean Nitrate. See your dealer now.
