Like many deer hunters these days, Jack Nolan of
Houston is getting ready for the season which opens
Nov. 9. Nolan, who hunts on the Jack Ulbrich
ranch 10 miles from Hondo on the Tarpley road,
has been busy weekends building a stand (r) tower-
ing 24 feet into the air. And just to make sure
deer will be in the vicinity, Nolan (I) "salts" his
...then scatter corn
"claim" each weekend with corn. The Houston
resident, along with his wife who also shares his
hunting days, visits Hondoevery weekend for sev-
eral weeks before the season starts. Then he
schedules his vacation to run into deer season so
he'll have plenty of time to hunt.

Ads need hometown newspaper
Several million subscribers
to the venerable Saturday Eve-
ning Post have been informed
that the magazine no longer
wants their business. The new
publisher of the publication
feels that it is economically
sound to reduce circulation a-
bout 50 per cent.
The action of the Post tells
much about the economics of
publishing and advertising. It
recognizes that quality and
concentration of circulation is
of more importance to adver-
tisers than quantity and
spread.
In its drastic cutback, th e
Post is attempting to gain
some of the advantage which
is automatically delivered to
advertisers by the community
newspapers. By concentrating
around selected urban centers,
the magazine hopes to attain a
more sharply defined reader-
ship.
Many great national maga-
zines and regional newspapers
have been in financial trouble
in recent years from too
much circulation. The paradox
is due to the fact that the A-
merican reader is accustomed
to paying only a fraction of
the cost of his newspapers and
magazines. When advertisers
are not willing to pay for in-
creased circulation, a publica-
tion loses money and loses it
fast.
Ironically, while national
publications are facing a cri-
sis, an increasing number of
hometown newspapers are
flourishing as n e v er before.
The difference is related to
the concentration of circula-
tion and the appeal and im-
pact of local retail advertising.
Though our neighbor's keyhole

BROWNSVILLE
The National Cotton Council
Board of Directors at a regu-
lar meeting in Brownsville u-
nanimously adopted the posi-
tion that no less than 14 mil-
lion bales are needed from the
1969 crop. In order to achieve
such a substantial increase in
production, the Council urges
that no payments for diversion
of any kind be included in the
1969 cotton program.
