Learn n advance your prospective buy- er's needs.' 2. Don't imitate the personality of a great salesman. You' may learn from some of his techni- ques, but you must adapt sales- manship devices to your sown personality. 3. Create a positive, favorable response. Your prospect is more apt to say "yes," if you radiate cheerfulness, courtesy, confi- dence. 4. Don't "just drop by" when you intend making a sale, or you'll be considered a bore, Have a clear sales objective in mind, and arrange an appointment with your prospective buyer. 5. Be a good listener, rather than a high -pressure talker. Sometimes, by first listening, to your prospect talk about some extraneous subject - his hob- bies, his golf score - you can put him into a receptive mood to accept discussion of your pro- duct. 6. Be punctual in your ap- pointments, and present a neat, healthy appearance. In Death of a Salesman, Willy Lowman pre- sented a truism when he talked of riding to success "with a smile on my lips and a shine on my shoes." -- 7. Don't have a single "can- ned" sales apprpach. Be flex- ible, in case your prospect re- jects your first presentation. A good salesman always has more than one arrow to' his bow. 8. Find out who makes the real buying decision. In every organization, there are dozens of people who can say "no." Only one man can either say "no" Or "yes"; see him. 9. Learn how to express your- self naturally in speaking and writing. Perhaps evening cours- es can help you. 10'. Gauge that point when yaw prospect is ready to sign. A good salesman knows when his talk -has "closed" the deal, then has the sense to keep quiet. - From LIBERTY GREEN - THUMB Gordon Smith soft ESSON Barclay Warren, 184„, 8.1).

Depart- ment of Agriculture, Brandon, with the use of six or seven males with 100 Barred Ply- mouth Rock hens, Results with the lighter breeds have shown that highly fertile eggs can be produced using five males per 100 hens. * Hatchability influences hatch- ing egg prices and hence is of great importance to the pro- ducer. The production of quality hatching eggs involves every condition for the efficient pro- duction of market eggs plus several additional factors, These include: the provision of an adequate number 'of males to ensure fertility, the selection and care of hatching eggs and the provision of a good breeder ration. * Certain physical characteris- tics of eggs are related to hatch- ability. For best results, eggs should weigh at least 24 ounces per dozen. Eggs which are extremely large or poorly shaped should be discarded as well as those with pronounced ridges or signs of shell weak- ness.- The frequent gathering of 6gq, As essential to prevent them frombecoming overheat- ed; chilled or soiled. They may be kept in ordinary egg cases which are turned from one side JO another daily, and stored in ' a cool, well ventilated room where the temperature is be- tween 40 and 60 degrees F. Frequent egg shipments void the rapid loss in hatchability which results when eggs are stored for a period exceeding sevn days.. * * A good laying ration is not necessarily a good 'breeder ra- tion. Breeder rations supply higher levels of certain nu- trients, such as riboflavin, manganese and Vitamin. B12 which are required to develOp and hatch the chick.

Each year loose smut Causes Substantial losses to the farm- ers of Canada and each year the grower is confronted with the problem of controlling the disease. Several simple methods of control are now available and any farmer can readily treat a few bushels Of seed each year which will provide him with a supply of smut-free seed to meet his main require- ments the following spring. • • 4. Larce scale hot - water ma- chines adapted for custom treat-• ing have been established in a few districts but the great majority , of farmers must de- pend upon their own resources to treat their barley. • • * One proVen method is to cov- er several bushels of. seed-in a barrel or tank with water and leave standing for 64 hours in a room that is constantly heat- ed day and night to a tempera- ture between 72 and 77 degrees F. The excess water is then drained away and the seed spread out to dry. The drying must be done rapidly to prevent sprouting. Fermentation occurs during treatment and this is accompanied by a foul odor. * According to Dr. L, E. Tyner loose smut was effectively con- trolled by a new method tried out at the Edmonton Labora- tory in 1955. The method will be tested further but in the meantime interested growers may wish,,to try it 6n their own farms. The seed is soaked for three to six hours in water, drained and sealed in milk cans or in large airtight pliofilm bags tightly tied after filling. The container is left for 48 hours in a room heated day and night to a temperature of 72 to 77 de- grees P. The seed treated' in' this manner dries more readily than in the long soak method and no objectionable odors are produced. 41 * 'Sekreral.;million pounds 'of 2;4-D :will be used in Canada this year to reduce the damage due to weeds in grain fields.

In the summer of 1947 the putck asked him to resume work in Their forestry service; so he flew back to lava ,with one dominant purpose in his mind; to find Sari or learn what had befallen her in the repub- lican revolution which had swept the country, the fighting between Dutch and Indonesians which was still going on, All the way froth. Bandung his jeep had to' cope with mined roads and blown-up "bridges. This hitherto presperous coun- try seemed dead. Villages were burned down, devastated; rice, fields overgrown with weeds. The republican army had adop- ted scorched earth tactics and driven the people away. Enemy skirmishers sniped at the ,col- umn from hilltops and had .to „la", driven nut by the Dutch mili- tary escort. One bullet just missed 'Lundqvist. When he arrived at last at the village where he had lived among Sundanese peasants for, three years, there, was a deathly silence everywhere. The doors stood open, the huts empty, Then a voice hailed him from a bamboo thicket; Oessin, a na- tive he knew well, came run- ining to him, and grasped MS hand with joy. "Oessin!" Lundqvist cried. "So you're still. alive! Where's your wife, Anna? Where's Sari? • . . "Sari's alive," Oessin replied. "She's in klittle,hut over there. Over the brook.'t "Why wasn't Nakrek burnt?" Lundqyist 'asked. "They hadn't 'time," Oessin explained. • "They. took fright when they heard the shots yes- terday evening. They ran away. . . ;But almost everyone's gone from the village, except Sari." Outside the hut a woman sat cleaning rice. "Is Sari here?" Lundqvist asked. The next mo- ment Sari was standing in the doorway, speechless. "I knew yOu would come some day," she exclaimed happily when she could find words. "A fortune- teller in Garut said' he saw that you would come . . . they• took our house and plundered it. Ev- ' erything is destroyed there." He took 4pr, back. to' a hotel in Bandung, where she told him of her terrible ordeal. Four days after he had been evacuated, she said, a party of police came to kill him, Their job was to kill all whites. and all who had sided with them: • .Four stood with their. pistols pressed 'against her while othera pillaged the house. They threat- ened .to Shoot her if she did not tea .Where- he was, but she re- fused: EventuallY they went off, leaving two guards to kill him when he' returned. Later, mere police arrived and took Sari for questioning, with: other Sundanese' women - whO" had lived with Dutchmen. Some women had had their hair shaved off for protesting their love; others had been treated so badly that they had 'gone mad. The police chief told them they must now become loyal Indone- sians, never think of, Dutchmen, and marry Indonesians if any would take pity en them. The wife of a Dutchman who said she could never forget her house and husband was seized by the hair, flung to the ground, and shot. Sari then decided to save her life by agreeing, and was re- turned to Nagrek. But more police came 'to rob and pillage and. Sari's house became a police station; she went to live in vil- lages up in the mountains, and only came back when she heard shots and an old woman said her husband had returned. Lundqvist describes other strange and dramatic happen- ings in "In Eastern Forests." On a lonely road his jeep was stop- ped by a stark naked woman who said that three robbers had intercepted her on her way to the near-by village froin a tea plantation and taken her Clothes, "I had a quarrel with my husband," she explained. "He's bad, so I left him. This is the punishment, I understand. But I'll never go back to him. If you can lend me a sack or some- thing to cover myself with, I'll go on to the village clown there." LunciqVist's Work took him also among the cannibal tribes!, of New'Guinea, who at once .became friendly' when they saw Sari in' the. party, The book abounds ifi strange stories of little-known people and has geed photographs, , iRkPLICIT A Mari endeavouring to teach bis dog how tb Speak, held a Cookie *Vol, the dog's head say, ing "SPeak dog; speak, speak 'deg, 'speak.".

Keep Planting For a „great many of the vege- ,tables one can and should con- Iinue planting at two week in- tervals right up to the first or second week in July. Beans, corn, carrots, beets, lettuce and. other quick growing or matur- ing vegetables are in this class. By spreading out planting, we spread out and increase the har- vest and keep top quality com- ing along. With this late plant- ing, it is advisable to speed growth with cultivation, fertili- zer, and if necessary, watering in warm weather. At the fall end of the season, we can. pro- tect from the first frosts with some light cover of newspapers, old bags, or straw. When Weather is Hot When the real warm weather starts one should make a few changes, In the flower and vege- table garden, a light cultivation once every ten days or so will not only keep clown weeds but it will conserve moisture and • tend to keep plants growing and healthy even in really, hot weather. Watering will probably be necessary in some parts of Can- ada 'now. Hero a lot of mistakes are made by those unfamiliar with the likes and dislikes of plants. One thorough Soaking of lawn, flower or vegetable Ord , en, one that will take the moi- sture down a couple of inches, is worth a dozen sprinklings and it will last for seine lime. Sprinkling never gets the attire dawn more than a frac- tion - of an inch and the roots Must some up to the, surface to get it, thus exposing them- selves more and more to drying and killing by heat and sutis .Heavy soaking, however, does not Mean turning the nozzles ori full blest. The nearer we get to a fine Mist the better. Paths • Paths Connecting upper and' lower or gardens with lower levels; May need . Seine Steps. These can be Made in various ways; building stones, bricks, concrete• blocks or cedar poles staked down with soil or gravel pressed in behind. For a better appearance one should not have more than three or four steps together, except, of course, where the slope is quite exten- sive, and two or 'three of such series can be linked with a lit- tle bit of level path. Also to add to appearances and interest, we can have the connecting path run at right angles to the steps. Garden paths may be made of many different materials; flag stones,• either natural or cast, concrete, bricks, cinders, gravel, or if traffic is light, a good piece of tough sod. Power Saves Labour Where the lot is fairly large, a garden tractor and a power lawn mower will save time and hard work. These machines are not expensive and, given mini- mum care, they will last for many years. They will do the work at least five times faster than by hand. It is a mistake to purchase too large equipment, especially in tractors. The smal- ler types are much more easily handled and with attachments will do almost every chore, ex- cept heavy plowing. COULDN'T LOSE When a cattpany's ace sales- man was transferred from New York to Chicago, his boss sent along a letter explaining that while he was the company's best salesman, he had one serious vice - gambling, When he arrived, his new boss said, "Young man, Trti sorry to hear that you like to gamble.. What do yeti bet on?" "Anything," answered t h salesman. "For' instance, I'll bet you $25 that you have a mole on yOur right shoulder," "I'll take that bet" said the sales manager, and peeled di his coat and shirt, The salesman Paid off, and his new Was wrote New 'York about the incident, boasting that he had already taught the young Man leSSon. a few days lie redelVed this reply: He wits again.

One of man's greatest needs is the consciousness of Divine guidance. The Psalmist wrote; "The steps of a good man are Ordered by the LORD; and lie delighteth In, his way," 37:23. But how can we know what steps we should take? There is often a period of indecision and• wonderment. Abraham's servant wondered when he saw Rebe- kah if she were to be the one to become the wife of. Isaac. Genesis 24:21. He said, "I being in the way, the LORD led me," As we take one step in the wilt of God our next step will be- come clearer, Paul, accompanied by Silas and Timothy of Lystra, was on his second missionary. journey. They had visited the churches established on the first mission- ary journey. As they moved west they were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to go into Asia, the area to the south of which Eplieslis was the main city. _ They thought to go north to, 4:Bithynia: but the Spirit stiffer-. led -them not. So they ,wene straight ahead to. Troas. There; ,in a vision Paul •received a call. to Macedonia. The party was now joined by the beloved phy sician, Luke, who later wrote the Gospel record and the book of Acts. Paul •struck for the big pities, Philippi; Thessalonice, Birea, Athens and Corinth. He pioneered the work in each place and one or more of his companions tarried to see the work established. After a year and a half in Corinth: he set out for •Jerusalem.* He ' stopped at Ephesus and the people desired him to stay longer but God's time for his three year pastor- ate there had not yet come. He went up and saluted the church at Jerusalem and then returned to Antioch from whence he had started. Men with a Divine call are needed in the growing suburbs of our big cities today. There are many obstacles but message Of the crucified Christ is the need everywhere. YOU GOTTA' HAVE • GALL' - A physician diagnosed a man's ailment as nerves, and prescrib- ed accordingly.
