The On- tario Growers' ll itekets Council 'is going to be hard pressed even as it is, to•list. and tabulate tilI the in- formation to enable then to put growers in touch with profitable markets. There is only one way in which they can do this and that through co-operation with growe and letting them know what eros they grow and in what quantities, The 'Growers' Market Council is constantly .getting enquiries from buyers who are anxious to get supplies and so far they have not been able to find enough supplies to fill the demand. Ontario Seal Cors, When asked for an (pinion ee- garding the Ontario seed corn •situ= ation, George R. Paterson, 'Ontario, Marketing Board, said: "There should be no doubt' in the minds of -dealers, or farmers; in regard to 'Ontario seed corn. The -truth of the matter.': is that Ontario has never produced a crop superior to that of 1931. Orn/ growers can supply seed corn- of suitable varieties, and of good qual- ity, for 1932 planting." lktwithstanding the • fact that there is a large supply of Ontario seed eoan• of: suitable varieties for theproduction of earn forhusking h szn g or silage, •or fodder, seed cont. of foreign origin and in large quanti- ties, s is 'beiar offered g for sale in n- O tario and the Eastern Provinces." "There is no reason,"- continued 11fr, Paterson, "why dealers •should hesitate in deciding what corn to sell, or farmers what corm to use, Growers can be assured of success If they use corn oa the highest quality and maximum yield's." "Dealers,". he concluded, "will be glad to supply their elastomers with Ontario seed corn."

Figures just made available by the Canadian National Railways show that over their lines alone no less than 2,000 car loads of this commo- dity move every year from the farms of south eastern Ontario and Prinee Edward Island to the cities of the United States, Refrigerator cars are used exclusively for the handimg of this traffic, and as each ear,.+holds approximately 30,000 pounds of tur- nips, the .total traffic handled by the Canadian National Paihvays Is a- bout 1,200,000 bushels, These turnips travel far afield, finding a market as far south as Florida and as far west as Texas. The Prince Edward Island turnips Elmira are sold almost exclusively in New Carlisle For the first month there 'wee a total enrolment at the overt 'courses of 189 boys and. 226 girls.

The popularity of the Cana, dian turnip in the United States is attributed to its tender quality, the result of the ideal climatic conditions under which it is grown in the 'Do- minion.

Bred personally if you Really wand a Small Business sag nothing about iit! Retailers who don't want a bigger business should say nothing about it, for, if they began talking about it in the form of advertisements, they would get new customers whorse requirements would just distribute them — would com- pel them to buy more, deliver more, work more. There's a story told abort: a retail- er who eertanly didn't want a big business. .He was playing checkers with a ciony in' seine place of hiding in the rear portion of his store. A customer entered. The crony said, "There's Mrs, Black." "Hush", said the retailer, "If we dun't make a noise, perhaps, she'll go away:" Some retailers can never hope to have a big business eve,/ if they wanted one -they lack the ability, the energy, the ambition, the under- standing needed to make a big business. They are content with a sma1I business, and would be really unhappy if their business was growing rapidly as a consequence of cireumstnaces out- side their control. They would feel like a man in a wagon whose horses were running away with it! . • Some retailers, 'however, have an urge to make their business larger. They dream of the - time when they will have one big store, or a flock of "eaain" stares. They want a mufti big- ger income than their present one. Perhaps they dream of a time when they won't have to work, The way to a bigger business is as plain as the nose on one's face; it is customer multiplica- tion. A retailer with an urge toward bigger things should give bis main thought and ef- fort to customer multiplica- tion. when they will have much leisure to be spent pitching horseshoes, or in bowling or in trav- ailing, or with hooks, or in a country hone. Customer attrction. can he accomplished var- iously, but there is one essential means -press advertising. Advertisments go where personal salesmen and even letters can't hope to go, and they have a profound influence on readers of them—they soften resistance, dissolve. apathy, create eonfidence and goodwill, and direct the Steps of buyers. And they are cheap! And •buyers -•not sellers --pay for them, and are glad to pay for them! Buyers always go, in largest numbers, and of their own free will, to those stores which spend a lot of money on advertis- ing! I l hesitate to contract for advei- s will -pay for ::gladly? Why should any ambitious retailer tising which his customer
