‘Lomond Territory
| Full of Wheat
Publicity is a necessity to the| With the rest rest of the oonntey |
development of any community
or enterprise. There are dif-
ferent methods of achieving
publicity which naturally in-
clude the spreading of news by
word of mouth, by letter or
circular and various other ways |
including bill boards, signs, etc.,
and the more modern radio
distribution.
None of these, however, have
been able to achieve such satis-
factory results as a newspaper.
It’s regularity of publication
permits every anticipated hap-
pening of general interest to be
announced a sufficient time be-
fore its occurrence to allow
everyone to participate in the
event, of whatever character it
may be, As a means of com-
munication between business
men and their customers it is
the only utility that has con-
sistently proven its value in
either rural or urban centres,
Other means of advertising are
valuable in their places, but no
means has been devised to re-
place the newspaper in distri-
buting news or business an-
nouncemeuts.
For a local paper to be a
success it must have not only
the support of business men but
of every possible adult resident
of the community. It is not
the publication of an advertise-
ment that counts, no matter
how attractive its contents, but
the extent of its distribution,
among possible customers. To
insure the advertisements re-
coive pruper avvention the medi-
um by which ther are carried
must be attractive enough with
news items to secure perusal of
the paper by everyone, partic-
ularly the heads of households.
Given these attributes the
newspaper will invariably prove
profitable to both public and
publisher.
While there must be enough
business support to make the
newspaper financially possible,
the co-operation of the com-
munity in making it generally
interesting by contributing to
its news columns whenever pos-
sible is just as essential if suc-
cess is to be achieved. The
operation of a local newspaper
has never resulted in the pub
lisher getting rich as a direct
result vf bis newspaper work,
in fact he is usually one of the
poorest paid individuals in the
community estimated upon the
basis of the actual work he per-
forms, and as arule he contri-
butes more to the advantage of
general interests than any
other business concern, In con-
sequence the suggestion of co-
operation upon the part of the
public can scarcely be taken as
a request for charitable sup-
port. There is not an outstand-
ing community in the country
that has not a local paper, and
the better the paper the better
the community.
Lomond has had some un-
satisfactory experiences with
newspapers which may make
things more or less difficult for
The Press. It is to be hoped,
however, that the difference
between a _ paper published
from an offica of several years
standing and close enough to
practically guarantee the pub-
lisher’s responsibility will not
be allowed to suffer from previ-
ous failures. This paper will
continue to ran until every dol-
lar paid to it is earned or the
unearned portion will be re-
funded, and the only consider-
ation that will make the latter
statement applicable will bea
lack of sufficient support to
continue it successfully,
If Lo-
Lomond is experiencing the ef-
fects of the grain
ec kens The Home elevator
has erected two annexes with a
| capacity of 50,000 bushels, while}
vid McLennan elevator has pro-
vided extra room for 25,000
bushels. Up to date 240,000
bushels of wheat have been
shipped, 250,000 are in store and
the amount in the hands of the
farmers is estimated at 750,000
bushels. When it is considered
this grain is practically all high |=
grade the splendid crop reaped
can be realized. The slow de-
liveries owing to lack of trans-
portation facilities has prevent
ed the full benefit of the Crop
being realized but confidence on
the part of the business men is
growing rapidly and there is no
doubt that improved business
conditions will result in rapid
growth in every direction in
the next twelve months.
Changes ii in System
Outlined to Teachers.
Hon. Perren Baker, Minister
of Education, delivered the fen- |
ture address at the Southern
Alberta Teachers’ Association
eonvention, which concluded at
Lethbridge, Friday afternoon.
Atter examining the weakness
of the present torm of ednea-
tional administration in the
Province, the speaker outlined
the scheme of reformewhich it
s hoped shortly to embody in a
hill toa ha
nineedA heli. the
Legislature. This will involve
a complete reorganization of
of the Province into 20 larger
units or divisions, each divided
into five wards. A superinten-
dent and two helping teachers
will be the organizing officials
in each division and the whole
scheme promises to lead a yreat
improvement in educational
connections. Dr, M. E. Lazer
ton of Alberta University also
addressed the convention, which
has been the largest on record,

“Canadian Agriculture For High

subject, The authors are a number of

cockerels that had developed sexual-
ly very early. These cockerels almost
invariably finish up as “ponies.” In
other words, although they look
large early in the season, they be-
come set in their growth, and do not
make birds of normal size at
maturity. Cockerels of that kind
should not be retained as breeders,
as their offepring will have a
tendency to mature in the same
manner, They will lay early, before
they reach proper body growth, and
consequently lay small eggs through-
out life.
To summarize, the breeding male
should be the son of a high laying,
large egg hen. He should be well
grown, of good size for his breed,
and above all should be vigorous.
While vigor may be denoted in every
part of the bird, in the broad back-
deep body, the well set legs and
general action, and in the nervous
force, the paramount requirement in
an egg breeding male, is indicated
by the bright, prominent, piercing
eye set in a clean cut face,
This is the kind of male that will
give results.

To Stimulate Advertising
“An idea which may stimulate an

tates a bulletin issued by the Pen-
wylvania Publishers’ Association.

vealed to three different advertisers

A fur dealer advertised every Thurs-

Alberta Trade With United
States Increased
Trade with the United States for
the Province of Alberta during th«
quarter-year ending September 30
1928, reached $1,800,790, an increax
of $110,290 over the corresponding
Period of 1927, according to the
quarterly report of U. 8S. Consul S. C.
Reat of Calgary. The total declared
exports from the Calgary district for
this period in 1927 were valued at
$496,745 and in the same months oi
1928 goods to the declared value o!
$645,674 were exported. The principa
increase was in the exports of cattle.
During July, August and September.
1927, 3,480 head of cattle valued at
$166,993 reached the American mar-
kets while in the corresponding
months of 1928 a total of 5,579 heac
of cattle valued at $312,416: were ex-
ported.
The chief exports from the Calgary
consular district were: cattle, num-
ber 5,579, value $312,416; fodders and
feeds, 3,875 tons, value $116,481; woo!

a depth of 670 feet and the drill
which has now reached the

mine the probable extent of
these valuable salt deposits.

SELECTING THE BREEDING
MALE
about |
It may seem a little early in the
season to talk of selecting next
spring’s breeders, but this is of such
importance that it must be borne in
mind early in the season, if best
reults are to be secured.
Early in the growing season the
poultryman should have marked
“for the block” all those chickens
that had shown the character for
slow feathering or any constitutional
feathering or any constitational
weakness, There will thus be re-
served for breeders, only cockerels
from high laying dams that have
laid large eggs.
This latter is of great importance
as there is unquestionably a tendency
to diminution in the size of the egg,.
where selection has been followed
for high production, without due
care to also select for size of eggs..
During the latter part of the sum-
mer and early fall it will have been:
noticed that there were some
Alberta Wheat Yield Average
Reduced
On the basis of returns received by
the Department of Agriculture from
threshers in all sections of the prov-
ince, it is estimated that the Alberta
wheat crop for 1928 will average ap-
proximately twenty bushels per acre.
Although this figure is some seven
bushels lower than the phenomenal
returns in 1927, it is over two bushels
above the ten year average for the
wheat yield for the province, Further
threshers’ returns and reports of grain
inspections indicate that the damage
to the ¢rop as‘a result of the frost
is more serious than was anticipated
when earlier estimates were made.

Sales of gasoline in Alberta for the
first ten months of 1928 have exceeded
by some 6,000,000 gallons the sales in
any previous year, according to figures
issued by the Department of the Pro-
vincial Secretary, This increased con-
sumption is attributed to the ever-
growing use of tractors, grain trucks
and combined harvesters in the pro-

Crops in the irrigation section have
been very good during the season,
states Mr. Pike, but suffered, as in
other parts of the province, from the
effects of hail and frost and the prob-
able result will be that more attention
will be paid to mixed farming.
Telephone Business Expands
Continued expansion of its service
throughout the province during the
month of October is reported by the
Department of Telephones. An_ in-
crease of 425 stations in operation is
shown for the month, bringing the
total increase for the first ten months
of 1928 up to 2,700. In the
River and Grande Praivie districts
new offices have been opened at Mc-
Lennan, Nampa, Wanham and Prest-
ville and a new long distance line con-
nects Grand Prairie and Wembley.
It is expected that an exchange will
be opened shortly at Fairview and
that existing equipment will be moved
to new townsites at Hythe, Beaver-
lodge and Bluesky.
