THE I. A. A. RECORD 



July, 19)1 



Tells 4-H Girls Health 



, Necessary to Success 



On Advertising 



A WOMAN has to be healthy to- 

 day to be a success in any job, 

 declared Dr. Caroline B. Hedger of the 

 Elizabeth McCormick Memorial Fund 

 before the recent 4-H club girls' con- 

 ference at Cornell University. 



"The three kinds of jobs — earning a 

 living, making a home and learning how 

 to use leisure time — all need a healthy 

 girl or woman to make a success of 

 them," she said. 



According to Dr. Hedger health in- 

 cludes looking well and feeling well. 

 A girl cannot do much about the nose 

 nature has given her, she says, but she 

 can work for a nice brown sun-marked 

 complexion; she can keep her body 

 clean; she can have a correct posture 

 and she can be the right weight for 

 her height. 



"Of course you must feel well to 

 hold your job," Dr. Hedger continued. 

 "How you feel makes a big difference 

 in how well you get along with people, 

 how interesting your work is to you 

 and how much of your best you put 

 into it. That means getting enough 

 sleep— most women need at least nine 

 hours every night — and enough play 

 that is re-creation, not wreck-creation." 



Advertising agents agree that adver-~ 

 tising should not only reach out to new 

 customers and prospects, but should 

 work back through the advertiser's own 

 organization. Effective publicity 

 prompts every employe to throw out 

 his chest and feel that he is working 

 for an enterprising company. The ne- 

 cessity of keeping one's own workmen 

 "sold" on the merits and worthiness of 

 a company and its product is one of the 

 real problems of management. 



Blames TariflF for Part 



— -- — Of Farmers' Troubles 



Corporation Farming 



Not So Good Here 



One hundred and sixty-nine schools, 

 represented by 1,605 boys, participated 

 in the Illinois Judging Contest for Stu- 

 dents of Vocational Agriculture held at 

 the University of Illinois, June 19 

 and 20. 



Teams winning first place were: fat 

 stock, DeKalb; dairy. Ridge Farm; poul- 

 try, Armstrong; grain, Olney; corn, 

 Chenoa; all divisions, Olney. 



Individuals placing first in the con- 

 tests were: fat stock, R. Warfield, Gib- 

 son City; dairy, L. Methany, Ridge 

 Farm; poultry, P. Meyers, Oakland; 

 small grain, R. Stephens, Hutsonville; 

 corn, E. Quick, Atwood. 



The Wheat Farming Company of 

 Hays, Kansas, an organization which 

 operated 72,000 acres, has asked the 

 court for a receiver. This project has 

 been held up as a model of large scale 

 farming. It operated on the principles 

 of big business employing all known 

 efficiency methods, yet dividends failed 

 to materialize. 



An editorial in Farm and Ranch for 

 June 20 says: "We have heard of other 

 big farming ventures that are drifting 

 close to the rocks of bankruptcy, which 

 seems to be evidence of the truth of 

 that old fogy theory that farms are a 

 place for building homes, for producing 

 a living and raising good American citi- 

 zens." 



Roger Babson, noted economist who 

 has been investigating corporation and 

 chain farming reports as follows: "We 

 have been unable to find any industrial- 

 ized farm which can be called profit- 

 able, though we have examined the 

 affairs of many. The only one we found 

 that seemed to be profitable turned out, 

 upon examination, to have an oil well 

 upon it." 



The annual Saline County 4-H Club 

 picnic was held July 4 at Feme Clyffe, 

 one-half mile southwest of Goreville. 

 This is one of the scenic spots of south- 

 ern Illinois. The 4-H picnic was held 

 at the same place in 1930. 



Consolidation of townships, small villages, 

 and even counties as now proposed in some 

 states, will be helpful in reducing farm taxes 

 and providing farmers with modern hospitals, 

 schools, and other local institutions, according 

 to Dr. C. J. Galpin of the U. S. Department 

 of Agriculture. 



A young man addressed a letter to another 

 young man pointing out that he understood 

 the second fellow had been taking his engaged 

 girl out. He requested that the offender call 

 at his office and talk the matter over. Two 

 days later he received this reply: "Received 

 your circular letter. Will be at the meeting." 



Brigham-Townsend Act 

 Helps Butter Consumption 



Regarding the success of the Brigham- 

 Townsend Act, the new oleomargarine 

 law, which was vigorously supported by 

 the Illinois Agricultural Association, the 

 National Dairy Union says: The new 

 oleomargarine law — the Brigham-Town- 

 send Act — has had greater and more 

 beneficial results to the dairy industry, 

 measured by what has happened in the 

 first two months since its enactment, 

 than had been expected by its most en- 

 thusiastic supporters. 



In the two months which can now 

 be surveyed — March and April — the 

 oleomargarine industry has reduced pro- 

 duction about 31 per cent to get ready 

 for the act which took effect June 3. 

 May figures will probably show even 

 greater curtailment. 



Farmer Can Help Himself by Grow- 

 ing His Own Food, Banker 



Traylor Says ; 



The farmer can help himself by pro- 

 ducing as much of his food as possible 

 on his own farm, Melvin Traylor, presi- 

 dent of the First National Bank, Chi- 

 cago, declared in an address delivered 

 recently before the International Cham- 

 ber of Commerce at Washington. 



"When we find that on approximate- 

 ly 20 per cent of the farms in the 

 United States there is not a milch cow 

 nor a chicken," he said, "and that on 

 more than 30 per cent there is not a 

 hog, and on approximately 90 per cent 

 not a sheep; when we know, further, 

 that on many farms in our large agri- 

 cultural states, no gardens are kept and 

 almost every article of food is purchased 

 at the store, we are forced to the con- 

 clusion that the farmer, by and large, 

 is not farming as he should." 



Mr. Traylor told of the enormous in- 

 crease in taxes and the cost of govern- 

 ment. He scored the financial leader- 

 ship of the country, blamed selfishness 

 and greed for part of our present eco- 

 nomic troubles, criticised the abuses of 

 speculation on the stock market, and 

 urged that margin trading in amounts 

 under $10,000 of stock be abolished. 



Mr. Traylor, who is a Democrat, took 

 a rap at our high tariff policy when he 

 said: "It sounded well, when industry 

 was prosperous, to tell the farmer that 

 his best market was the American mar- 

 ket, well protected by mounting tariff 

 walls. But when he sees behind such 

 protection five or six million of his 

 fellow citizens unemployed and the ob- 

 jects of charity; when he sees frontiers 

 closed and barriers raised to his prod- 

 ucts in other countries, then, I believe, 

 he has a just right to complain. No 

 one, not even the farmer himself, would 

 advocate the abolition of reasonable 

 protection for industry or American so- 

 ciety. But a virtue ceases to be a virtue 

 when its operations destroy economic 

 opportunity and social equality." 



While this decrease in oleomargarine 

 production was- taking place, butter 

 consumption increased. The increase for 

 this period in 1931 is about 16,000,000 

 pounds above the 1930 consumption. 



At the average wholesale price of 25 

 cents a pound, this brought four mil- 

 lion additional dollars into the pockets 

 of butterfat producers.
