Mr. Oyler is one of the growing number of growers everywhere who believes in the use of honey- bees. He ;, he would not be without them as an aid to "na- tural" pollination. Alert to improvements in grow- ing he was one of the first in Can- ada to purchase a mechanical picker, a Western. His experience, so far, however, has not been satisfactory with this method on the often times rather rough bogs of Nova Scotia.

His plant is on a spur of the Dominican Atlantic Railroad, which runs from Halifax to Yarmouth. Now, the really main business of Mr. Oyler is processing fruit, including cranberries (blueberries in tins for pies) o--'es and pickle^' although he still buys and sells in quantity for the fresh market.

"I can sell more than my men can," he says as a simple statement of fact and in meeting him there is no doubt that sales- manship is strong within him.

His kets are now mostly in the Mari- times and in Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba provinces. Donald, son of Mr. Oyl
