The opportunities of the conning year, from 0 farmer's point of view api)ear to be many. Owing to the war there will be a shortage of crops in l:ll101>e, and therefore an cxtra demand for all. kinds 'of faun pro- ducts in Canada, This will afford an' opportunity- for the farmer who •manages his farm in a business like way to reap a rich harvest. Every farmer wino is farming for profits, should be a reader of the Weekly Sun, the Farmer's Business paper. There is no other farm paper in On- tario that supplies the farmer with the same reliable • information as the Sun does, By perusing the Sun, you will gain a knowledge of the mar- kets, which will enable you to sell your products to rate best advantage. The subscription price will onljr be a fraction of the additional profits you will make by reading the Sun, When renewing your subscription for your local paper, you will make no mis- take if you subscribe for the Sun, the Parmelee Business Paper.
