Salesmanship.
My parents, I recall, took me when
about five years of age to the phren-
ologist to have my head red, or rather
read. It was already the former, any-
way.
I recollect their astonishment at
one most emphatic statement of the
bump expert.
"This child," he declared, vigorous-
ly,, "is exceedingly weak in sales re-
ar sistance."
The full significance of this remark
did not dawn on me at the time, al-
though I well remember shouting :
"Boiloney!" at him. But that might
have been because I was hungry at
the moment, a not uncommon psy-
chological condition in children of
tender age.
My parents, however, were evident-
ly strongly impressed with the strange
importance of this verdict, for they
lost no time in apprenticing me to
the writing trade as soon as I was old
enough. Doubtless they were of the
opinion that no agent would try to
sell anything to an author and expect
to get real money for it, because it
can't be done.
This should have served as adequate
protection for me, but unfortunately
Uncle Jim passed out and left me his
fortune. Immnediately I was beset with
canvassers, who seemed to have a
strain of English setter in thein, so
accurately did their noses point them
to their trey.
As long as the money lasted I
bought everything that they had to
sell. Now the house is completely
filled with most excellent goods of the
manufacturer's latest and most ex-
pensive design.
Take the living -roam, for example.
In it are two pianos, (a grand and an
upright), five radios, seventeen chairs,
six bookcases, (all filled with com-
plete works of standard authors), a
walnut gate-leg table, a carved Indian
table, a lacquered Chinese table, (cop-
ies of) pictures by Turner, Rubens,
Bruce, Bairnefather and Michael
galo, Turkish rugs by Jones and Jones
and many ornaments end objects of
art tea numerous to mention.
Of course these things make the
room just a little crowded. For in-
•
"� V'ih
stance, on the grand piano stands one
of the radios and on that is a com-
plete set of the work •of Bacon (bound
in pig skin), and these are crowned
by a magnificent clock in a glass case,
guaranteed to go 365 days without
winding. And 366 in Leap Year.
Now, I didn't know what to do with
all this stuff until I happened to buy
a book on salesmanship, just after the
chandelier fell on me and rather alter-
ed the bumps on my cranium. Since
then f have thoroughly mastered the
principles of modern scientific sell-
ing, such as the courtesy opening. the
canvass proper, the pre -demonstra-
tion sales arguments, the effort to
throw convincing expression into the
features, the frank and friendly hyp-
notic gaze into the eye of the custom-
er (both eyes, if possible), the educat-
+ing of the corners of the mouth up in-
stead of down, the sending out of the
will -to -purchase thought -waves where-
by to completely surround the pros-
pective buyer with magnetism, dogged
persistence, personal force and lastly,
oxygen (if there is any room left for
same).
As I ' said, I have mastered these
scientific principles. And what am I
going to do? I am going to go out
and unload all my stuff by these high-
pressure methods, and get Uncle Jim's
fortune back again.

CANADA'S OLDEST
EDITOR
A newspaper editor since before the
Canadian provinces joined in confed-
eration, John •Redpath Dougall, editor
of the Montreal Witness, celebrated
his 90th birthday on Monday, August
17th, among friends at his summer
home, Metis Beach.
Mr. Dougall became 'associated
with his father in The Witness in
1860, and for sixty-one years has edit-
ed the paper. He is the oldest liv-
ing graduate ' of McGill University.
The veteran editor enjoys excellent
health, reads continuously without
the aid of
eye
glasses
Y and enjoys a
still keen mind. His chief exercise
is felling trees on his estate at Metis.
Mr. Dougall has never drawn a cent
of dividend on his million dollar in-
vestment in The Witness publications,
and permits himself no salary for his
work.

WEEDS I N TOWNSHIP
OF TUCKERSMITH
To the Editor of The Huron Exposi-
to: The season of 1981 has so far
beenvery favorable to the growth of
all noxious weeds, but with the co-
operation of the people of the Town-
ship of Tuckersmith, we have received
very favorable reports from the Dis-
trict Weed Inspector of Western On-
tario. In a recent 'visit to this town-
ship, Mr. Smith urged the necessity
of cutting weeds in fence corners and
all waste places.
As the wild carrot is spreading very
rapidly in Western Ontario, everyone
is urged to keep it from going to seed.
The presence of this weed in the clover
seed fields will seriously reduce the
grade of the clover seed if the wild
carrot is allowed to mature its seed
with the clover seed.
After harvest cultivation is urgent
and much to be recommended owing
to the early harvest and moist condi-
tion of the soil.
The crops of buckwheat and Hun-
garian grass shows the value of a
cleaning crop instead of oats. There
never was so many summer fellows
and sensibly so, as this year.
The road authorities, who have
charge of cutting all weeds on the
roads will be tirged to do this com-
pletely and for which) the Ontario
Government pays 40 per 'cent. of the
cost if passed after inspection by the
Municipal Weed Inspector of each
township.
'Mr. Smith was with me to inspect
the roads of the. Township of Tucker -
smith on Saturday last, and hopes his
final inspection will show a good clean
up of fence corners, waste lands, and
roads. Mr. Smith hoped to have more
time during his next visit to meet
More farmers to discuss with them
measures of improved weed control,
especially the perennial Sow thistle.
I would also draw the attention of
the public to the fact that there is a
township by-law prohibiting the dump-
ing of refuse on any street or road,

News and Information For
the Busy Farmer
Live Stock Figures.
According to authoritative figures.
there are about 180,000 farms in On-
tario maintaining live stock, with cap-
ital invested in this stock of approxi-
mately $240,000,000. This estimate is
roughly apportioned as follows: Hors-
es,' $82,000,000; cattle, 5120,000,000 ;
sheep, $7,000,000; swine, $14,000,000;
poultry, $18,000,000.
Dairy cattle are said to return to
Ontario annually approximately one
hundred million dollars from the but-
ter, cheese, milk, powder and whole
milk.
Making Poultry Pay.
One of the mast interesting fea-
tures of the Poultry Week .Confer-
ences at O.A.C. was the facts of
poultry flock revenue as presented
by Dr. Marcellus in connection with
the O.B.S. work in Ontario. One
flock of 225 hens produced revenue
totalling $2,393.50, and the cost of
feed totalled $933.96, a profit aver
cost of feed for the year of $1,459.
Here is where the revenue came
from: Market eggs, $850.68; hatch-
ing eggs, $199.70; market poultry,
$747.97; and sale of chicks and
breeding stock, $59:5.15, In connec-
tion with feed, this operator bought
feed to the extent of $366.09 and
fed feed produced on his own farm
to a value of $567.87.
A number of) oubbreakls, of (sod
webworm have occurred in the
western part of the province. The
method of control proving most sat-
isfactory is spraying with 4 pounds
of arsenate of lead to 40 gallons of
water. This, of course, can only be
used where no stock are present.
Tour Tobacco Area.
The inspection tour of the Stand-
ing Committee on Tobacco Investi-
gations took place early in August.
The party (included Dr. rHlarcoulrt,t
Messrs. N. J. Thomas and J. E.
Hargrave, of the Department of
Chemistry, 0. A. E., Dr. Nelson,
and other federal tobaidco special-
ists, as well as other directly in-
terested in the tobacco crop. The
tour was started at the Harrow Ex-
perimental Station and tobacco
fields were visited in Kent, Esse s,
Elgin and Norfolk. At the tobacco
test, plots near Delhi a special
study was made of the effect of
fertilizers of varying combinations
on the tobaceoeplants.
Following official tests, the 0. A.
C. herd of cattle! numbering 181
head, was pronounced absolutely
free from tuberculosis.
Live stock shipments from Canada
to Great Britain continue to increase,
a recent report showing that approxi-
mately 10,000 head of cattle have
been marketed in the United King-
dom so far this season.
The harvest of tomatoes and corn
for canning purposes is. in full swing
and most districts report the prospect
of very good crops. Several counties
declare the corn crop the best in years.
In a few districts tomatoes have been
severely injured by the tomato worm.
Latest returns from beekeepers in
various parts of Ontario indicate that
the honey crop generally will .be light-
er than anticipated three weeks ago.
Unsettled weather came' ata time
when the Honey flow was in full swing
and materially' lessened the crop.
A Pasture Experiment.
A very interesting pasture dem-
onstration has been carried out dur-
ing the past two seasons on the flarm
of Howard Fraleigh, M.L.A., at For-
est. Mr. Fraleigh. who is prominent
in Ontario agriculture not only for
his outstanding success with fibre
crops, but as a breeder of Angus, is
keenly interested in the problem of
pasture maintenance.
with the co-operation of ' the
chemistry department of the 0. A.
0., a series of plots was laid out
in 1989 along the hightiny* running
beside Mr. Fraleig'h's fain. In ad ,
ditioti to the fertilizer applied iii
1980•; the pasture Was harrowed
over and re -seeded with a grass
and clover mixture. The result of
this reconditioning was very plain-
ly apparent at a field meeting held
on the plots this summer.
Part of the plots were grazed but
a section of each was fenced off
so that the actual growth of grass
could be seen and checked.
Rural Hydro Expands.
Returns compiled by the Hydro -
Electric Power Commission f or
Ontario of rural service to the end
of May last show that 50,064 rural
customers were connected with the
various systems. From November
1st last to the end„ of May 3,340 new
services were installed and 511 for
May alone.
In the same period 438 miles of
rural transmission lines were con-
structed, besides 606 for the seven
months' period ending May 31. The
total amount invested in rural sys-
tems is 515,630,226, of which 7,-,
743,758 was a bonus by the prov-
ince.
Markets Council Active.
Charles W. Bauer] newly appoint-
ed' seetetary of the Ontario Fruit
and • Vegetable Growers' Markets
Council, has had ten years' experi-
ence with the Vineland Growers' As-
sociation, which he managed very ef-
ficiently. He has now opened an of-
fice in the Bruce Building, Hamilton,
and will give his whole attention to
the growers' marketing problems.
In a recent statement the presi-
dent, H. L. Craise, said: "We are
going to list all the commercial
growers of fruit and vegetables
and obtain particulars regarding
the crops in which they are most
interested. We expect to bring about
a more satisfactory relationship be-
tween growers and canners, and 4n
every export market we expect. to
maintain commercial representatives
wha will promote the sale of Ontario
produce and put buyers in touch with
growers and' shipping organizations
who are in a position to pack in'car-
load quantities to supply these out-
side markets."
H. E. Thorns has already been
established in Winnipeg to represent
Ontario growers in that market. and
the president of the council has in-
timated that markets in Quebec and
the Maritime Province will likewise
be explored.
New Market For Lambs.
One of the most interesting de-
velopments or trends of the present
time is the extent to which tour-
ist traffic is providing new outlets
for farm products. The visitor evi-
dently prefers the best in quality
and insists on • having it supplied
'fresh. This demand is making it-
self felt in connection with almost
all farm products, but this year it
is particularly noticeable in con-
nection with the heavy demand for
fresh lamb and mutton. Despite the
fact that there has been a fairly heavy
marketing of lambs, and that these
have had to compete with consider-
able quantities of imported frozen
lamb, the tourist demand has taken
care of practically all the fresh pro-
duct as fast as it has come on to the
market.
Fly Spray Valuable.
The importance of fly spray for
cattle is definitely shown in the
following statement by a well-
known Oxford dairyman:
"Our herd had not been sprayed
for two or three days and the milk
flow had been materially affected.
The first day after spraying there
was 22 pounds more milk and the
second day the herd was up 42
pounds. This rate was maintained
for about a week. While other fac-
tors may have been partly respon-
sible, I believe the increase was
largely due to the fly spray. This
increase was not( much on twenty
cows, but it more than paid for
our investment in fly spray at 90
cents per gallon."
