A goodly number of members of filar with Harold Bell- Wright's stor-
ies may be interested to learn that
this is the section- he wrote about
in "The Winning of Barbara Worth"
He called it "The Hollow of God's
Hand."
1 mentioned that Gordon Walper
is in business as a farming contractor
Perhaps I had better explain that.
Here in the Imperial Valley, as it is
now called, there are a lot ofdates,
pecans, lemons, oranges, grapefruit
and tangerines grown but the prin-
cipal crops are alfalfa and vegetables
lettuce, carrots, melons, squash, to-
matoes, etc. The sowing, fertilizing
and ,harvesting of these crops on irri-
gated ]and requires a lot of expens-
ive machinery. It would not pay the
average grower to tie up. his money
in that way, so they hire these farm-
ing contractors to do these jobs.When
I came here Gordon was just starting
on a contract to harvest four hund-
red acres of lettuce for a man over
'near Phoenix..
•Lettuce is being harvested now.
There must be hundreds of big four
wheeled trailers coming into these
towns in the Valley loaded with let-
tuce every day. The carrot harvest is
just starting and there are some to-
matoes being shipped. Cantelopes are
being planted now.
El •Centro is a small city of about
ten thousand. To a northerner like
xnyselif it looks strange for all the
business places have their second
stories built out over the sidewalks
and supported by heavy concrete pil-
lars so that pedestrains can walk in
the shade.

Gordon Walper, who is in' business
here as a farming contractor, and 1
was lucky enough to obtain a very
good position. I ane travelling ror the
Dessert Seed Co. some of the busin-
ess men of Zurich play recognize the
name, for Desert was in business in.
Toronto for several years and has
been in Zurich several times. This
part of the country was originally all
desert and it is only when there is
irrigation that there are settlements.
I have a very large territory to•
look after which takes me three -hun-
dred miles from here, and have a lot
of driving to do.
I suppose no letter from California
in winter would be complete without
some mention of the weather. For
the last couple of days we have had
cool winds which brought the temp-
erature down to about 65 but except
for that we have had lovely weather.
• The other day I put the thermometer
out where the sun could shine right
on it and it went up to 102. It only
rains here about twice a year, so
there is lots of sunshine. On the last
day of 1945 I was out in the country
here and it was hard to realise that
The Hay Mutual Fire " Insurance
Company attended the annual meet-
ing on Monday afternoon in the Town
Hall, Zurich, a more complete ac-
count of the meeting will be given
at some future. date.

C.C.0, Robert Sprule of London was

A spell of real cold zero. weather
visited these parts over the week -end
all. day Sunday it was close to the
zero mark while at nights the' cold
increases. Some snow hass fallen
and snowplows were very busy in
keeping the roads open. On Satur-
day some roads were blocked for a
while, and few mail routes were serv-
ed. • There is an abundance of ice
on old Lake Huron, and in this wea-
ther the people living in the sunny
south have the bulge on us here in
the north, stoking our fires and try-
ing to keep from freezing.
SUBSIDIES TO END
Guelph—Prof. W. H. Sproule, of
the 0.A.CC, warned Ontario farmers
to give careful consideration to every
factor that. would lower the cost of
production in order to retain their
markets He suggested that subsidies
on dairy products would be discon-
tinued as soon as the production em-
ergency ends.

EVERY NATIONAL PRODUCT
HAS A LOCAL APPEAL
MAIN STREET IS NOT AN IMPERSONAL METRO-
POLITAN MARKET. IT IS A :MERKET WHERE CON-
TACTS ARE MORE FRIENDLY, SELLING MORE
PERSONAL AND GOODWILL MORE IMPORTANT.
THAT 1S WHY EVERY NATIONAL PRODUCT CAN
GAIN IN ACCEPTANCE AND SALES WHEN IT I5
LOCALIZED. AND THE WAY TO LOCALIZE IT IS
TO ADVERTISE IT IN THE LOCAL KEEKLY NEWS-
PAPER, OVER THE DEALER'S OWN NAME --WHERE
HIS CUSTOMERS CAN SEE IT—WHERE HIS STAN-
DING IN THE COMMUNITY SPONSORS ITS VALUE
AND EXCELLENCE—WHERE IT GAINS THE SALES
ADVANTAGE OF THE DEALER'S REPUTATION.
Weekly newsapaer advertising is concentrated
advertising. It is point of sale advertising. It is
merchandising on the spot. It is coverage of a
known and definite market. It helps the dealer
to move merchandise off his shelves quickly
and profitably. It gives him an interest in the
'merchandise advertised and an incentive to co-
operate with the manufacturer to their mutual
advantage.
