920 OUT OF 1069 MOTORISTS CONVINCED THEMSELVES
THAT THE NEW BLUE SUNOCO IMPROVED THE
PERFORMANCE OF THEIR CARS!
These motorists were people like yourself, came from all walks of life, drove practically
all makes of cars. They tested New Blue Sunoco on the highways and byways, under
exactly the same conditions you will encounter—tested Blue Sunoco against the
gasolines they had been using, 30 of them, 13 of which were premium priced,
PROVING THAT BLUE SUNOCO IS A MOTOR FUEL OF SUCH AMAZING
SUPERIORITY THAT IT RANKS AS AN OUTSTANDING GASOLINE.
LABORATORY ANALYSIS PROVED THE GASOLINE THEY
TESTED WAS THE SAME AS THAT SOLD TODAY AT
ANY BLUE SUNOCO PUMP AND AT REGULAR GAS PRICE.
Test this New, Improved Blue Sunoco today in your own car. Do like these, motorists
did. Convince yourself that Blue Sunoco is today's outstanding motor fuel at any price!

Field Crop Report
Bruce County reports its wheat
sample generally poor to fair with an
occasional field yielding well with
good quality. In Dufferin the crop is
'badly affected with rust and .in Grey
a similar condition has made the yield
disappointing. Barley and oats pros-
pects in that district are exceptionally
good. Rust also did much .damage in
Wellington County, likewise in North
Sim'coe. Ste the latter county the crop
of oats promised to be the best in
'five years, but a general outbreak of
smut and army warn 'inroads have
reduced prospects to average. Wheat
is 'running up to 410 !bu's'hels per acre
in .Brant, depending in the winter'kill-
ing and rust. Haldimand also has a
wheat crop running 419 bushels to the
acre or :better. The market far new
grain in Lam'bton is very low, prices
quoted being: New wheat 614c; ha'rley
40c and oats 312c. :Field corn for sil-
age ,purposes is looking splendid in
Lincoln and has made tremendous
growth recently Sone :crops in Mid-
dlesex have been badly lodged by
storms, but early threshing returns of
wheat and barley indicate good yields.
