Watch for These Signs in Waterloo: Free Gift Coupoosâ€"â€"Get Them Here Such has not been the case, and local merchants feel that they can now settle back once more and wait for another Christmas season, possibly this time with the same optimism as have the general public. The average worker is probably making a larger wage than ever | before. The office workers‘ salaries are up a small amount. But j actually none of the wages warrant a spending splurge. [ Reports from local merchants would tend to indicate however, that the public this year are more Christmas conscious than ever. Particularly is this true of those buying luxury lines such as jewelâ€" lery and other none necessities. A great many of the merchants are expressing amazement that buying could be so good. More than a few of them felt that last year‘s buying would be the peak, and that purchasing by the general public would be sharply curtailed this Christmas. Statistics show that money is by no means as plentiful for the ordirary man as it was after the last war. The servicemen have spent their money on homes or cars or the plain necessities of life. Their buying power now is governed by the jobs they hold and their current wages. "Thus", said the bank summary, "the aggregate quantity of goods, both produced within the country and purchased elsewhere, that has become available to Canadians this year for use at home or for export, would appear to be larger by possibly 2 percent than a year ago. Merchants who have been worrying ever since last Christmas regarding the amount of business they might expect this year; are beginning to relax and enjoy the buying splurge the public are inâ€" dulging in. The Review also notes that "remarkable stability", of Canadian prices during the period presents a "notable contrast" to the heavy rise in prices in Canada and the U.S. during the preceding two years and to the downward trend of the United States prices which started in September, 1948. . According to the Bank of Montreal‘s Monthly Business Review, there is no serious unemployment in Canada. This, despite the fact that this country has had higher imports and lower exports during the past year. The physical volume of total Canadian imports is between 5 and 10 percent above one year ago.

Although most fields of corn in this area have averaged from5 to 10 acres, individual growers have had as high as 80 to 90 acres. Sometimes the question is asked, "How about the protein content of the grain produced by these hybrids?"

Do you often daydream when you ought to be working? If so, your job may not be stimulating or challenging enough. Do you sometimes think the boss picks on you? Usually when an employee thinks his employer or fellow workers don‘t appreciâ€" ate him, his own attitude needs looking into.

In another year, 33 hyâ€" brids varied from 10.1 per cent protein for the lowest, to 12.5 per cent protein for the highest. The figures given are all on the basis of dry matter. As far as the proâ€" tein content of hybrids grown at Ottawa is concerned it is considerâ€" ed to be quiite satisfactory and has compared favorably with that produced by comparable®openâ€" pollinated varieties grown under the same condition.

Some are high and some are low. Both seaâ€" sonal and soil conditions have a profound effect upon the composiâ€" tion of the grain, irrespective of whether the crol? grown is a hyâ€" brid or openâ€"pollinated variety. Many experimental tests show that the grain from some hybrids have averaged higher in per cent It seems to be fairly generally agreed that the protein content of grain produced by hybrids tends to be slightly lower than that proâ€" duced by the open pollinated vaâ€" rieties. It is also generally acceptâ€" ed that because of much higher yields obtained from hybrids, the total protein per acre is considerâ€" ably greater than that produced by the openâ€"pollinated varieties. tion has been asked by corn growâ€" ers in areas of Canada and the United States where corn is comâ€" monly grown, and where hybrid corn has replaced, to a large exâ€" tent, the old openâ€"pollinated vaâ€" rieties.
