Weekly Crop Report
Harvesting of fall wheat through -
tut the province has 'been fairly
,••eneral during the past week and
bundant yields are reported from
most sections. Haying is fjniehed,
with the best crop in some years,
particularly of clever, reported from
many district§. Pasturee in many.
counties have been injured, by ex-
treme heat, while spring grains are
expected to be short in the straw.
Intermittent Tains have aided im-
mensely, however, in most parts oe
Ontario. The canning pea crop was,
reported light, espeeially in the
-Eastern Ontario tlistTiet.
Apples are expected to be a nnuch.
bigger yield than a year ago. Grow-
ers have bail cause to worry in the
matter of controlling scab as a pee
riod of sultry weather was very fav-
orable toward the development of
fungus. Heavy showers prevented
spraying: machines _ from operating
in many distriets just when they
should 'have been after the scab.
Considerable dirty emelt is therefore
probable Some districts are wor-
ried, too, because of lack of surplus
moisture and if a dry spell should
develepe, the fruit niay be on the.
small size.
Ontario's honey tree front, clovers
for 103t will be fusty up to the aver-
age. The general dry weather means
honey of extra quality because of
the steelier percentage of moisturr
in it. Swarming has been prevalent
in most parts of Ontario in the lest
three weeks and this is always a
sign of good honey flow.
An Enormohs Loss
A prominent authority has' esti-
mated that twenty-six million dol -
imp is the price paid by farmers and
poultry raisers for loss through
diseases in, poultry fifths in Canada
M the past year. Most of this loss is
caused by internal parasites and
much of this is preventable. A good
deal of it can 'be avoided by keeping
the -;young chicks away from- the
adult biros and 'on absolutely clean
soil.'
Purchase of Fertilizers
Fall wheat growers have Iearned
that fertilizers are 'valuable' in in-
creasing the yieldof this crop in the
way of producing better •growth'- in
the fall, followed by less winter kill-
ing and a quicker start in the spring,
Earlier maturity and improved qual-
ity of grain have resulted. Fertil-
izer requirements should be care-
fully estimated in advance and ord-
ers placed in plenty of 'time to per-
mit delivery prior to seeding dates.
Collective purchasing by farmers or
'groups of fariners will aid materially
in obtaining minimum prices. Carlot
orders can readily be arranged and
a 'substantial saving made. Growers
should arrange to pay cash. .Time
prices are always high and farriers
are well advised to save high rates
of interest wherever possible, Pur-
chasing economy without loss of ef-
ficiency should be the watchword. of
all crop growers and live stock pro-
ducers at all times.
Apple Market and Cold Storage
Apple growers of Ontario expect
to invade the British .market this
season on a record scale; with the
prospect of 800 earloads going to
the Old Country. The English apple
crop is light and the crop from Vir-
ginia, Ontario's chief competitor
will be below normal. Hon. Thomas
L. Kennedy is confident of the suc-
cess of Ontario growers in this re-
gard and pointsout that the apple
export trade here is becoming stand=
ardized. "We have worked out a
brand to be placed on every box of
apples handled by the Central Pack-
ers' Association, It is the 'Big Oh'
brand and every apple in a box bear-
ing. this brand is guaranteed to be
in perfect condition. Independent,
growers will not .be allowed to use
this brand, but as the majority of
growers are or will be members of
the association, it means that the
big majority going overseas will
bear this trademark."
The Minister further points bet
that the cold storage facilities which
the Government is assisting to pro-
vide for the proper storage of 'reit
will strengthen Ontario's hold or
overseas markets. Five new cold
storage plants are either under way.
or being planned. The addition to
the Norfolk plant will double its pre-
sent eapaeity and take care of the
expected crop of 100,000 barrels in
that district. Prince Edward grow-
ers, are erecting a new plant at Pic -
ton, where fruit will be graded, pre -
cooled and stored. A ' growers' or-
ganization has been formed and will
handle all sorts of supplies like fer-
tilizers, insecticides, barrels, as well
as taking full charge of the fruit
marketing end. The new plant at
Thornbury in the -Georgian Bay dis-
trict, to replace the ordinary stor
age destroyed by fire last winter, is
also under way. Plans are under
way for another plant at Trenton,

that" will -bear almost as prolifically,
Ire all 'the orchard has about 1,501'
trees. They were planted 24 years
ago in a gravel soil and have been
carefully husbanded, thoroughly
sprayed and cultivated. They include
light and dark Bigarreau cherries,
Windsor, Montgomery and Gover-
nor Weed. The orchard will this
Year yield between five and six
thousand baskets, which are mar-
keted in. Ontario and . Quebec cities,
Last year some of these fine cher-
ries brought as high as $1.75 a bas-
ket. s The trees are fairly groaning
under the exceptionally heavy yield,
and every twig has its clusters, in.
fact some of the trees give the inn -
pression of a solid mass of Cherries.
They are entirely free from blight
and pests, although the sultry wea-
ther of early July caused some dry
rot in the fruit.
The leLLInally farm has been in
the family foe one hundred Years.
It is one of the finest in the district,
comprising 225 acres devoted tc
small fruits, orchards and grains.
Over 00,000 boxes p1 strawberries

speaker was Mrs, J, Gardiner, Kirk -
ton, who so vividly pictured to us
the conditions in home, community
and nation, brought about by the
use of alcoholic drinks.
The following resoltations were
brought in' by the resolution com-
mittee and adopted by the conven-
tion.
1. We believe in total abstinence
from the use of alcoholic liquors as
a beverage. We urge upon every
union systematic iinstruetic4t in the
effects of alcohol and other habit-
forming drugs, that being forewarn-
ed of the danger in the use of alea-
hoI es a beverage, the people may
willingly accept total abstinence as
their• rule of life.
2, We record OUT gratification
that public opinion throughout the
world is rising in favor of peace;
that reason, not force, arbitration
not battles, a world court, not war
are being promoted as a means of
settling disputes between nations
We are convinced that the future of
peace and co-operation between na-
tions largely depends on the result
of tine First World Disarmament
Conference' to be held in London in
February 1932 and on the measure
of its success in securing agreement
as to the reduction of armaments.
3. We are opposed to any method
of dealing with the liquor traffic
which puts the government in tb,
business of selling alcoholic liquor.
We are opposed to any system that
issues permits for the sale of lipuor
for 'beverage purposes, W'e favor
prohibition of the manufacture, sale
transportation, importation and ex
portation of alcoholic liqur as a
beverage.
4. We express our appreciation of
the action of the Canadian Govern-
ment in refusing to grant clearance
papers to vessels bound for the Unit-
ed States carrying liquor, and appeal
to every other country to take a like
stand.
5. Recognizing the evils of the
use of opium, hez'oin and other ha-
bit -forming drugs; we urge educa-
tion in the dangers of self-presci'ip-
tion; we urge physicians to exercise
caution in their medical practice, tr
limit prescriptions to cases of ne-
cessity,
8. Resolved that the thanks of
this Convention be conveyed to the

The News-Rekord
Help You
We are interested in making your ,advertising a paying in-
vestment. We have probably discussed with you occasionally the
method by which a merchant may arrive at the necessary amount
to appropriate for advertising. As properly apportioning is one of
the basic essentials of profitable advertising, we pass on to you this
report from the Bun;eau of Business Research; which we trust you
will peruse at your convenience:
The foremost authorities on retail store advertising maintain
that from 2 to 3 per emit, of the gross sales should be invested in
advertising during the year. Aceording to statistics prepared by
the Bureau of Business Research the following percentages of
gross sales are usual and correct for the advertising expenditures
for tho various types of retail stores:
Departmental stores, 1.9 to 3.1 per cent; grocery stones, 0,4 per
cent; haberdashery, 3 3 per cent; women's wear shops, 3.1. per cent;
furniture: 0,3 per cent; general merchandise, 1.5 per cent; drug
stores, 0.8 per cent; cleaning and dyeing, 3.3 per cent; electrical
shops, 2,1 per, cent; hardware, 0.9 per cent; jewelry, 3.1 per cent;
restaurants, 3,1 per eerie; millinery, 2.2 per ceht; music stores, 3,3
percent; shoe stores, 2,9 per cent.
The population in every community changes at a rate far more
rapid than most people realize, In some eases it is 25 per cent, in
three years. For that reason, 11 for uo other, continuous adver-
tising and presentation of a firm's name and business are as vital
as window displays and stock upkeep. Every customer won, added
to the customers already patronizing a business, fills the place of
another customer who is moving away or is otherwise lost to the
business,.
The retailer who adopts an advertising -budget plan and con-
sistently follows- it has a definite and tangible proposition. Yon
never hear it charged that some of the biggest stores and businesses
price their •goods higher just because of their advertising. Motor
makers spend many millions in advertising to make it possible to
make more cars and sell them cheaper. Ilowever, the budget will
permit of fluctuation and may be changed frons month to month,
depending on weather and other conditions, but over the course of
the year it may be followed as a cenreet and safe guide.
It is unfair to advertising to expect ie to do all the winning and
keeping of trade, The most that advertising can do is to get cus-
tomers into the store, From that point it is up to the management
,and sales force to make it profitable. A good stack, wen selected
and displayed, with clerks well informed' on the goods and values
offered—these, together with seniles and assuranees of honest sat-
isfaction, must accompany advertising to make it pay. Advertising
is worse than wasted which brings.eusteneees into a place to be neg-
lected, The clerk who shows no interest in the lady wishing to buy
a meet -ft -priced hat or coat may be offending the very customer
.who next year will be in a position to"spend five times the amount
for that purpose.
People who pay for newspapers to read are not doing so to help
anybody but. themselves. They enjoy the newspaper as a hinny
and community necessity, and whatever is presented in the 'news-
paper interestingly and attractively, is as sure to have their atten-
tion as a nice window display . is to have •their admiration, The
,newspaper is the window display carried right into the homes of
the people—hundreds of times multiplied in its effectiveness, ac-
cessible to all, 'and comfortably viewed with interest --to convince
