We are all like Mark 'Twain when he said--""Give me the luxuries, and let who will have the necessities." Cake is better than bread. The radio supercedes the piano. Travel has taken 'the place of economy. We wish ourselves some place, and our magic carpet (the auto) takes us swiftly to our destination. Our restlessness and our widened vision take us to places we never dreamed of visiting. ~. Business enterprise takes note of these facts, and gathers from the tourists what they are so willing to spend if they can 'only be sure of cheerful, pleasing service. | Think of the wealth that will pour into the city of Toronto as that quarter of a million Shriners invade that city and spend "with a lavish hand. Read these two quotations from men who are authorities on this phase of modern life, and then think what Port Perry, with all its natural advantages, can do to secure a share of the great tourist business, which totalled $208,744,000 last year. Mr. Dunning said: Various estimates are made as to the money spent by tourists in Canada. Some esti- mates that it was in excess of $300,000,000 last year. The exact amount does not concern us at the moment, the more important phase being the continuing growth of this form of trade, and its development to a higher stand- ard. We magnificent national parks and excellent trans- portation facilities. No country in the world has better. hotel service than Canada, and each year substantial ad- ditions are made. Attention has been directed recently to + sales opportunity represented by this tourist traffic. s there any reason why trade in quality goods should not be 'increased? Many commodities can be purchased in Canada more cheaply than in the countries from which the tourists come. The provincial and the municipal authorities, the transportation companies and the ko- minion Government may co-operate and bring tourists to the doors of 'Canadian shops; after that success depends upon the initiative or the retailer and the maker of the goods offered for sale. With this seasonal influx of, 18,000,000 visitors, it should be our aim to develop an extensive market, and thus enlarge the benefits of the tourist trade." Mr. C. E. Neill, Vice-President of the Royal Bank, who gave considerable attention to the advantages of tourist business in his address to the shareholders last January, said: » "In order to create a genéral interest in buying in Canada, there should be articles in many lines of merch- andise that could be bought at as low a price in Canada as in any other country. When visitors return to the United States and show their friends the bargains which they have purchased in Canada, they will help us to create the tradition that such purchasing is an essential part of a trip to Canada. The opportunity to buy in Can- ada will become an additional inducement which will serve to attract an increasing number of visitors. "There is a strong sentiment in Canada in favour of the promotion of Empire trade, where such trade does not hamper the normal expansion of Canadian industry. The tourist trade of Canada might well afford an outlet for a large volume of British goods of kinds not now produced within the Dominion. The British manufacturer and ex- porter has failed to realize that the Canadian market is a medium for reaching the attention of 15,000,000 Ameri- can purchasers as well as that of 10,000,000 Canadians. The present advantageus preferential tariff on rish linens for instance, permits them to be used as a display item which should attract this type of attention. The use of items of British origin as leaders should constitute a means for increasing the sale of allied Canadian pro- ducts." « Council and associations may do many things to beautify the town, and provide public conveniences for tourists; but the home- like welcome @iccorded to tourists by the citizens will do more than all else to draw tourist trade. Tourists will not come if home accommodation is scarce. In Montreal hundreds of fine old houses on Sherbrooke Street and elsewhere are given up to the tourists. Niagara is almost entirely given up to this business. who can do so are paid more than the dollars received for board and lodging. These men and women who are out to see the world can help us see it, too; and our vision is widened. It is no longer a virtue to merely stay at home and save money. The new virtue is to invent new ways of serving the public and earning money by such service. : » Every Port Perry home that is open to tourists; every store that studies their needs and supplies them; every guide that is courteous and reliable; every boat owner who supplies the tourist with what he needs--these are the people who will draw tourists to Port, Perry; and these are the people who will reap financial benefit. ; : O00 Mrs. D. W. Luke Mrs. D. W. Luke, who died April 9th, 1930, was born in Mariposa in 1858, being the third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Butt. She lived at present from Lindsay, Oakwood, To- ronto, Sunderland, Brooklin, Colum- bus, Port Perry, and other places. Pallbearers were sir nephews--Gren McKinnon, Belleville, Ralph Butt and Frank Luke, Oshawa, Edgar Butt, Seagrave; Arthur Gordon, Saintfield, 1t is an honorable business to entertain strangers, and those taking an active part in the, work of the Ladies' Aid; and in the Women's Misionary Society. Her life was such that when the great change came, she was prepared for the larger life of immortality. ! How to Produce '500 Bushels of Potatoes' per Acre | The Boys' Potato Club work and the "300" Bushel Club, inauguarated by | the local branch of the Ontario De-' partment of Agriculture make an article published recently in the Ames- ican Potato Journal ang written by Mr. E. L. Nixon, one of theforemost authorities on potatoes in the U. S,, of particular interest to the growers in this district. Of the 14 men who entered the "300" Bushel Club last year, Agri- cultural Representative W. M. Cros- kery informs us that only two 'pro- duced upwards of "300" bushels ey acre, Mr. Nixon in his article mentions four fundamental principles in profit- able potato production. : 1. The first is good seed. The best Certified Seed is none too good. 2. The second is foliage protection --spraying. There are three factors involved in profitable potato spraying. (a) Time of applying (frequently enough to keep the new growth cov- ered and to protect against heat and insects in dry seasons and blight in wet seasons.) (b) Manner of applying (high pres- sure, over 300 lbs, proper nozzle ad- justment. = One must know what ia aimed at.) (c) Material to apply (the best and the cheapest is home made bordeau mixture.) . 3. The third principle is humus. Herein is something basic for soil fertility. Lots of humus in the soil conserves moisture, in dry years and distributes moisture in wet years. It makes heavy soil a potato soil. The best humus supply comes from leg- umes because they grow more of it. Alfalfa, Sweet Clover, and Soybeans are at the top of the list. 4. The fourth principle is a proper potato mentality--vision--the oppos- ite of tradition--science, the opposite of ignorance and superstition--ability to pick out the essential from the non- essential, the impgrtant from the un- important. It constitutes intelligent farming. Pennsylvannia's 400 Bushel Potato Club was formulated on these prin- ciples. That it has been successful is evidenced by the fact that 868 have made the Club and another 800 have come within 50 bushels or less of making it, with 36 over 600 bushels per acre and 141 over 500 (the high man producing 696 bushels on a meas- ured unirrigated acre.) Some are interested in averages: Our 500 Bushel growers Planted 9.2 inches in the row by 20.4 inches between the rows They plowed down legumes None used corn stubble. 80 per cent. used manure, 10 loads per acre. 20 per cent. used Soybeans. 100 pe rcent used the weeder an average of 5.8 times and cul- tivated three times. 100 per cent. sprayed an average of 13.7 times at an average pres- sure of 367 lbs. All used commercial fertilizer averaging 900 Ibs. per acre. Average analysis 4-11-6. SCUGOG Next Sunday services at the regular hours.
