Series With

Daks In 21-3 Victory

-The Trans-Canada Movers surg- ed back into contention with a bang at Queen Elizabeth Park last evening. defeating the Air- forue Driks 21-3 and evening up their best-of-five final series for the Island championship at one game apiece.

Marie Peters was never better on the mound. giving up only six hits. striking out six, and walking only one. Judy Preboy, her mound opponent, was touched for seven- teen hits as the red-clad Movers went on a shillelagh spree. Preboy whirled three and gave up six free tickets to first base.

The Movers were much steadier afield. committing only four errors, too in the first and two in the last inning, while the Disks were doing numerous crash-landings for A total of fourteen misoues.

Myra Murphy hit 3 for 4, Wan- da Chappell J for 5, and Terry Cahill 3 for 0. Marie Peters had two rate bingles in five attempts, and Joyce Enman. two in six. The four other Transcan batters each cracked out singletons. Martha schwsmlsr led her team with the willow, getting 3 blngles in 4 trips Sadie Welble, Terry Mayer and Peggy Rogers had one each. Wan-

hlt a double, the only two extra- base blows of the contest.

Teedie Cahill's lunging catch oi Bunny Wiseman's line drive to third in the fourth inning, and her bare-handed grab of Marg Hun- ter's foul fly Just outside the Mov- ers' dugout in the sixth frame were the two most spectacular plays of the game. Marie Peters, besides pitching well, was very cool and steady defensively, getting two put- outs and four assists without a mistake. Bunny Wiseman of the Daks also starred in the field,sooop- lng up 3 hot grounders at first base and smothering a. tricky fly back oi her base later in the game. Myra Murphy made a fine running catch to end the game.

Wanda ”Twinkletaoes" Chappell stole home in the first inning while the Dsk short stop stood trans- fixed with the bail glued to her throwing hand.

presentations.

He expressed the hope that the government can recall and re- tain some of the smaller things that have been lost in the field of agriculture. and that the peo- ple of that district will carry on the thoughts that were in the minds of those who founded the exhibition 50 years ago.

Mr. John F. Arsenault. vice pre- sident of the exhibition gave a brief history of the organization which he had helped to found. He said that he and Mr. Fred Richard are the only two of the original founders who are still living. and he introduced Mr. Richard to the audience.

Recalling that the first exhibi- tion had only a few hogs, calves. poultry, and handicraft exhibits for total prize money of only 319 he said that the exhibition has expanded to one in which some l.l00 exhibits are judged for prize money amounting to over

000

Hon. Walter E. Darby. Attor- ney General, expressed pleasure at being present for the com- memoratlon of the organization's 50th anniversary. He recalled past exhibitions he had attended at Abram'a Village, and the progress made by the organization during recent years.

Mr. A. H. Hubley. president of the P. E. I. Dalrymen's Associa- tion. and director of the Dairy Farmers of Canada commended the farmers for their interest in the dairy industry which he said provides more than 2.250.000 Can- adians with all or part of their livelihood. It provides greater stability to agriculture than any other type of farm enterprise, and agriculture, despite industrial expansion, is still the foundation of Canada's economy, and contri- butes more than S'I50,000.000 an- nually to the national commerce.

Mr. Roland MacDonald, presi- dent of the P. E. I. Federation of Agriculture, spoke on the impor- tancc of the iarmers' role in pro- viding the food which every per- son regardless of all other con-

Annual Illustration field days sponsored by the Dominion De- partment of Agriculture in co- operation with the Science Ser- vice and Provincial Department of Agriculture were concluded with very successful meetings at the Monticello and Rose Valley Illustration Stations.

A total of B95 farmers attended Illustration Stations during the year and displayed a keen in- tereat in the experimental work active at stations in Prince Ed-

ward Island and the Magdalen Islands. Pasture production at all sta-

tion fsrms has been maintained at a high level during the year. Light applications of barnyard manure once every three years supplemented with a complete fertilizer has increased produc- tion of pasture herbage from 7.20 tons of green matter to 20.00 tons per acre at the Rose Valley station.

"At the Monticello station, yields have more than doubled on the untreated areas, following fertilizing practices and careful management." states W. N. Black, agronamist in charge of Illus- tration stations. "Good manage- ment includes not only the appli- cation of fertilizer ingredients but also comparatively close graz- ing or periodical mowing to pre- vent grasses from shooting into head and to control the spread of noxious weeds." he said. DISCUSSES BEAUTIFICATION

Mr. R. Snazelle, superintendent. Cotton Memorial Forest Nursery, Southport, has completed is series of seven addresses when he dis- cussed rural beautlflcatlon at the illustration station field day at Rose xvalley. A tour was made of the splendid home flower gar- den at Rose Valley, and Mr. Snazelle discussed in some detail the growing of flowers and shrubs.

"Evergreens," said Mr. Snazelle. "require a certain amount of moisture all the day around and therefore should not be planted near a heated house as If is pos- sible that the roots will not ob- tain sufficient moisture during the winter months," Mr. Snazelle indicated that bulbs imported from Holland were widely dis- tributed and becoming Very DOD- ular with gardeners throughout the Province. "Special care," he said. "should be given roses such as hllling in the fall and pruning In the spring, where the variety demanded."

Speaking of weed killers In flower gardens, Mr. Snazelie felt that a more preferable method of ridding the garden of trouble- some weeds. was to pull them out and destroy them completely.

GENERAL PICTURE

The Superintendent. Experiment- al Station at. Charlottetown, Mr. R. C. Parent, in his talk reviewed briefly the general picture of agri- culture from the world's standpoint stating that the population of the

live.

He described the benefits that farmers have derived and enjoy- ed as a result of the work of the Farmers Federation, and be ap- pealed to the men to support this organization, and urged the women to take an active role in the Women's Institutes.

Other interesting speakers were Hon. C. C. Baker, Minister of Agriculture; Edmund Arsensult, and W. G. Reid.

At the beginning of the meet- ing the speakers and guests were welcomed to the exhibition's 50th anniversary, by the parish priest. Rev. J. N. Polrier.-S.

world is increasing at the nu of about 30,000,000 per year and. oi the same time, land is being taken up quite rapidly in the ViclnlLy of cities for building purposes and for the construction of industrial pllnt-S of various kinds. In addition to this. in various parts of the world. much land is being depleted in fertility by soil erosion. Again. the propor- tion of producers of farm crops to consumers is lessening.

All of this adds up to the fact that fewer farmers must. in the future, produce more. The speaker pointed out that this could be ac- complished and cited examples of increased production in Great Brit- ain. "In Prince Edward Island, we could, if we were pressed, increase our production very considerably. This could be brought about by in- creased mechsnizatlon. more care- ful attention to soil fertility and more care in the selection of var- ieties and in the control of insects and diseases."

The speaker pointed out that soil and climatic conditions make ll possible to grow a great variety of crops of high quality and tha:. compared with many other places where farming is carried on. Prince Edward Island has many advant- ages.

The need for young farmers to avail themselves of every ponible means of keeping abreast with new avail themselves of every pos- sible means of keeping abreast with new developments in agri-

culture was strongly stressed. Farmers must accept as part of their responsibility the es-

tablishment of their sons on farms and must give them an opportunity to have some equity in the home farm at an early age so that when a young man becomes old enough to start farming on his own he will already have some equipment and livestock to start with.
