They arrived at St. Petersburg October 26. During their trip to the sunny south they passed through snow storms so it appears that we were not the only locality that had bad weather in Oc­ tober. Mr. Gowans states in a letter that after leaving Wingham the wea­ ther seemed to get colder each day until they passed the Cumberland mountains of Tennessee. It began to snow when they were crossing Ken­ tucky and continued for hours and it was necessary to get out and wipe the windshield off several times. It also snowed in Tennessee. When they arrived at St. Petersburg, how­ ever, the weather was bright and sun­ ny. Already 5,000 have registered at the Chamber of Commerce, St. Pet- I ersburg, which is 1,000 more than at this time last year. Mr- and Mrs. Gowans are living at 604 7th Street North, St. - Petersburg, the same place as former winters. / ' ...............—‘— An intimation to slow-paying cus­ tomers given by a country shopkeep­ er: "All persons indebted to our shop are requested to call and settle.

Of the total exports of turnips in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1937, amounting to 2,623,787 bushels, 2,- 612,010 bushels went to the States. In the fiscal year March 31, 1936, the exports U.S. were 2,375,906 bushels. negligible quantities of turnips are supplied to the United States by oth­ er countries so that the U.S, market may be regarded as a dependable one for the Canadian exportable surplus depending upon production and busi­ ness conditions in general.
