Merchants long ago learned th
wisdom of inviting the buying publi
into their store-:. From the met

communities have learned the va'u
of inviting strangers to visit them
Through advertising the merchan
and communities have succeeded ii
attracting buyers and visitors.
To succeed in business one mus
have more than just something t
sell. He must let the buying publii
know what he has for sale. Hen
again the community has learnet
something from the merchant wh<
invites new citizens by apprising
them of what he has to offer them.
But from the community the mer
chant has learned one of the secret:
of advertising. The city or towr
seeking to expand its business an<
increase its population does not con
fine itself to praising one of it?
many civic achievements or institu
tions. It advertises them all. Sc
the business man knows that. whil<

"No matter where we started or j

r. Association declared, "we always
| that however effi.:ent"eTectfica; gener- |
ation ar.d distribution might be. the
_ small annual consumption of electric- I
r ity on the farm, outside of Irrigated
regions, was the primary obstacle.
This is ag agricultural problem and
, must be solved by men who are fais
miliar with agricultural practices and
i- J tendencies.**
0' Out of this conviction. Dr. White
explains, came the present Committee
on the Relation of Electricity to Agriculture.
the make-up of which Includes
representatives of agriculture,
i of the electrical industry and of Federal
government departments.
Broad and deep is the purpose of
the committee, yet simple to state.
" It is divided into two heads: First,
" how service can be supplied to the
y farmer and what Is involved In Its
establishment, and. second, how servIce
can be utilized by the farmer so
that it will be profitable to him.
Fourteen states are Investigating'
" the broad question, under the leader- I
- ship of the national committee, of
- which Dr. White is the director. The j
experiments are in various stages of i
e development in these different states, j
* Minnesota and Alabama still lead
c as the states where the greatest prog- \
' reas has been made. Michigan and j
?. New York are the most recent states .
