HOOVER, Township Treasurer, Unionville 29 Yonge St. NOTICE TO Markham Township Ratepayers. PAGE SIX mum What stores are busiest? Is it not those stores which give out most information about what they have to sell? The public is daily spending money â€" probably $2 a day for every man, woman and child in the trading area covered by the circulation of our newspaper â€"or, say, $2000 for every 1000 persons. So you can calculate for yourself â€" you, a retailer, what is spent daily in our own community for food and shelter and clothing, and clothing, and for all the other things. That dusty picture of an optimist and a pessimist â€" the optimist seeing the doughnut and the pessimist the hole â€"â€" is just a way of describ- ing most of us: same of us habitually look on the bright side of things; oth- ers of us on the dark side. Always there are those who have a melancholy pleasure in fault-finding. And sb there are always those who look upon advertising as an economic waste and a means by which the sale of inferior merchandise can be promoted. It is quite possible to discover wrong things about advertising -- just as it is possible to find wrong things about water and air, about books and speeches, about motor cars and aeroplanes, about schools and churches, about Canadians and Scotsmen, about knives and forks. In all ages and in all countries those giving out news and information have attracted to themselves attentive audiences}; and this is as true today as it was 1000, 2000, 3000 years ago. Advertising is news and information, and who shall say that it is! wrong to communicate news and information? It would be a pretty dull world, full of people, if there ceased to be a dissemination of news aind in- formation.

CAN IT BE DONE? â€" New Home Ready For This is another indication how the Agricultural Societies may hssume responsibility for agricultural welfare in their rewpeptive communities. At an Agricultural Society District Meeting in Paisley, November 8th, discussion revealed some Agricultural Societies we're not only recommend- ing that apple trees be planted, but were prepared to give advice on suit- able stocks and also arrange club orders from reliable Nurseries to take advantage of special rates. Replace Apple Trees Agricultural Societies in, Grey and Bruce are to be commended for giv- ing leadership in the very worthwhile project of replacing apple trees killed last Winter, states J. A. Carroll of the Ontario Department of Agriculture. Timothy Rust If the severity of rust attacks on timothy in the grass breeding nurs- ery. Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, is any indication of the amount of damage which may result from this disease throughout the country, then the efforts which are being made to develop rust resistant varieties of timothy should result in considerable benefit to this crop‘ More than half of the plants from commercial seed at the Central Farm have been practically destroyed: by rust during- the past two years and many others have been more or less injured. In marked contrast are the plants and strains selected for rust resistance. These show no rust, whatsoever, and in consequence they have made a strong vigorous growth. Omly rust resistant selections are be- ing- used as parent plants inbreeding new varieties of timothy. At the same time, an effort is being made to determine the losses due to rust on timothy as it is grown in farm practice. Reduction of oneâ€"half per cent. in ’nte'vest on loans made by the Ontafio Agricultural Board has been announcâ€" ed by Premier Hepburn. The interest in future Will be only four per cent. compared with the previous rate of four and a half. Manitoulin Island will contribute its share of turkeys again for the Christ- mas season.
