(Continued from page 6)

Billy Martin's smash toward short was stopped by Pee Wee Reese who couldn't come up with the ball in time to make a play. It was the first hit off Erskine after four no-hit innings.

Little Phil Rizzuto slammed a hard grounder over second that Junior Gilliam deflected with a div- ing stop. The ball bounced to Reese who never had tinte to make a throw to first base.

With men on first and second and nobody out, manager Casey Stengei called on Raschi for a sacrifice bunt that moved up both men. '

Gil McDougald, liitless in i0 pre- vious trip s, drove a vicious grounder toward the diving Billy Cox who missed Rizzuto running to third, while Martin scored with the first run.

Raschi was as much to blame for the Dodgers tying run in the fifth as anybody in the park. With one out, Jackie Robinson hit a double off the right field screen. While pitching to Billy Cox, Raschi committed a bulk that advanced Robinson to third. Manager Chuck Dressen of the Dodgers then cross- ed up the Yanks by having Sox lay down a perfect squeeze bunt. Billy Martin handled the bull cleanly and threw to the plate, late to get Robinson. -

Robinson dropped to No. 7 spot in the batting order, put the Brooks out from 2-1 in the sixth with a sharp single to left. The hit fol- lowed a single by Duke Snider and alwalk to Hodges.

Yanks Tie It Up

Back came the Yanks in the eighth to tie it up again between strike-outs by Erskine.

After Collins swung wildly at a curve ball for his fourth strikeout, Hank Bauer singled to centre. For the second time in the game, Yogi Berra was hit by an, Erskine pitch.

The stands, with their Brooklyn series record crowd of 35,210. came alive as Mantle came up to the plate. But Mickey, the home run hero of Thursday's second straight Yankee victory, became Erskine's 12th strike-out victim. '

Gene Woodllng delivered s sharp single to centre that scored Bauer with the tying run and it was 2-2 going to the last of the eighth.

It was then that Csmpanella got revenge for the ball that Allie Rey- nolds threw, injuring his hand, in the opener.

Gil Hodges had bounced out be- foro the portly Campanells. hillsss in three previous trips and shut out in four attempts Thursday, came in bat.

R.aschi's first pitch found Cam-

-psnells in full swing and the ball

sailed high into the lower left field seats.

In the bedlam of the Dodger clubhouse, Erskine said he never knew he was going for a record.

"I didn't know how many strike- outs I had," he said. "I Just know we had our backs to the wall and I had to keep pumping 'em in."

As for, the Yanks Stengei bela- bored the obvious when he sold: "The pitcher stopped us more than anything."

Erskine was the hottest, pitcher on the Dodger staff. the only 20- gsme winner in the series on either side.

Reunion Confidence

The Brooklyn victory. back in their home lot, helped restore the Dodgers' sinking confidence. No 'club ever has come back to win a seven-game series after losing

The i”ways scored two runs in the first frame, three more in the sixth and closed it out with two more in the bottom of the eighth.

New Waterford picked up their two runs in the top of the ninth as they got to Jay for three base hits.

J. Tucker of the New Waterford team was the leading better as he went 3 for 5. G. Scatalone of New Waterford had 2 for 4. The extra base hits were picked up by Mac- Kinnon and MacLeod, both of M. C. A.

There were a great number of oustanding fielding plays pulled off! by both teams. D. Campbell who played third base for New Water- ford pulled ofl two spectacular plays, back to back, in the fifth inning robbing Henriessey and Mc- Kinnon of base hits.

Brian Lewis, the hard-hitting centre fielder saved the game for M. C. A. when in the top of the ninth with runners on second and third he pulled down a towering fly ball that was hit by L. Sonta- lone. It was one of the nicest cat- ches seen at Memorial Field for I. long while and he received a well- deserved hand from the large crowd.-

The second game in the best- of-three series will be played on Memorial Field Sunday at one o'- clock and the third if necessary to follow.

Former S'side Priesi Dies Al Guelph.

-The death occurred, on Friday in Guelph, Ont., of Rev. John Sul- livan. 3.7.. it son. of Mm. W.J. sul- livan, Summerside. He was in his 48th year.

Father Sullivan had been in ill health for the past four years, having been afflicted with asthma, but his death was entirely unex- pected. .

Father Sullivan attended school in Summerside and was graduated from St. Dunstan's University in 1926 with the degree of Bachelor of Arts, cum laude. That fall he entered the Jesuit Novitiate in Guelph, Ont., and following the long period of training necessary in that order was ordained priest in Montreal in I939. Following his ordination he spent a year in Regiopolis College and was then transferred to Spanish, 0nt., where he taught in a. boys' school until ill health forced his retirement about four years ago.

He is survived by the following sisters and brothers: Ada, Mrs. Henry Noonan, Surimerside; Eva, M H. J. Higgins, Connecticut; Gladys, Mrs. F. V. Haskill, New Jersey; William. New Jersey: En- och J. in Charlottetown; and Gor- don in Summerside. Mrs. Enoch Sullivan left" by plane yesterday for Guelph where the funeral will be held on Monday.

Mrs. John H. Wells and Mrs. Art- hur Wright; Alb rton, were joint hostesses Thurs y afternoon at the home of the former when they entertained at a delightful lea. Among the guests were Mrs Stirling Green of Vancouver. aunt of Mrs. Wright, and Mrs. Wallace. also of Vancouver, sisterlin-law of Mrs. Wells.

Catches of smelt: are reported as being very good at the end of the second day's fishing at Albert- ton South. About twenty boats set out gill nets in Cascumpec Bay and in the vicinity of the harbour on the evening prior to October first when the season opened with the top boat bringing in about three hundred pounds of smelts per dory. There are usually two dorics operating from each fishing boat. Yesterday's catch was down slight- ly owing to a high wind. Buyers are paying twelve cents per pound at the wharf with part of the

will likely continue for some time.

In the case of potatoes, the Mar- keting Board is not in operation at the present time, although the mechanics of its organization and operation are there, and can be ap- plied almost immediately.

The farmers said they used to have great fluctuations in potato

Mr. William Calms

prices before organization of the board, but the board was able to alleviate this situation. During the war its functions were taken over by the Ministry of Food and that situaton still exists.

One thing that support price does, he said, was guarantee suf- ficient supplies. A couple of years ago, he pointed out, there was no support price on potatoes. The acre- age went down and at the same time, by a stroke of nature. the yield per acre went clown, and re- sulted in the highest price paid for potatoes in 25 years. That, he said, cost the consumers and tax payers more money in one year than it would cost them for 25 years of price support.

Questioned about the effect on production, if prices were adopted in Canada, Mr.

possible

effect on support prices in Eng- land led him to believe that when support prices were general in agriculture there was no fear of an abnormally high surplus ro- ductlon. He pointed out that t cre was only so much land under cul- tivation, and that there was a lirrft to what that land could pro- duce. , Yield In Shropshire

In Shropshire he visited a farm- er who had a crop of potatoes that he expected would yield an aver- age of 17 1-2 tons (long tons) per acre.

Mr. Cairns said this was four tons per acre more than had been produced on the farm at his home in Freetown last year despite an all time high production of -150 bushels per acre.

He said this particular English farmer never at any time sprayed his potatoes for blight. He relied on getting them in early, and in getting them sprouted before he planted them, so as to get the plant developing early. He keeps

the potatoes in a glass house to

get them. sprouting early, and planted the whole tuber. It ap- peared, he said, that Scotland is more suitable to the growing of virus free seed. so that ordinarily, English farmers use Scottish seed. Another difference in the potato farming is that English farmers ordinarily plant their rows 27 or 28 inches apart. They cultivate their potatoes more than P.E.I. farmers do, it appeared. and it is quite common for them to grow 13 to 14 tons to thd acre.

At the present time they are working towards having 100 per cent disease free potatoes. In some parts of England they dig early potatoes in June, but the main crop is not dug until October. i, With their mild climate the bulk: of the potato crop and other root; crops are stored in "clumps" the potatoes are simply dumped in a pile on a. level piece of ground at the end or corner of a field. They are covered with straw and a little bit of earth to cover the straw.

Marketing organization

To a large extent, he said, the National Farmers Union through the marketing organizations and the Ministry of Food, pretty well decide what the price of farm pro- ducts will be. The National Farm- ers Union of England is the coun- terpart of the Canadian Federa- tion of Agriculture, and in luost areas they have about 100 per cent of the farmers in the organization.

iy does a good jet of looking after the farmers interests.

Mr. Cairns in expressing support of the idea of price sup- port or minimum prices, thought this might best be done by the farmers themselves, through their own marketing organization.

The Milk Marketing Board con- trols all the milk produced in Eng- land. They have producer-com lumer representation on the board. About 90 per cent of the milk pro- duces is used for fluid consumption. The Mill Marketing Board has been in operation for about 30 years, and after it was formed a year or two. some people tried VU wreck it. There were people who wouldn't co-operate. and there were in-

flucntal people who persuaded them to have a vote on it. among the about

producers. The result was

African elephants are seldom seen in zoos. because they are harder to handle than the Indian elephant.

support Cairns said his observation of the

lilsi

85 per cent in favor of the mar- keting board. Since then, no said. no one has seriously questioned the desirability of. this board..

Mr. Cairns thought the system of milk coolers used in England was perhaps more efficient and s lot less costly than the system used here. Cold water is pumped through a. radiator affair over which the milk flows and is cooled. He thought the cquipment would not cost a quarter as much as the types used in Prince Edward '1- land. It is a radiator-like affair through which cold water flows on the inside while the milk is cooled by flowing freely down the out- side.

A lot of cattle are milked in milking pens in loaflng barns where cattle are driven up on a ramp for milking by machine. The milk is piped in stainless steel pipes direct from the cow to a tank or can. and is cooled in the process of being piped.

In all his travels he never ob- served a rrailk cooler like those in use here-over there the milk is all cooled before it goes into the can.

Artificial Insemination

Mr. Cairns said that artificial insemination is a big thing in Eng- land. He believed that over ll. mil- jlion cows would be bred by this imethod this year. He said an ex- periment is being conducted at the present time in the freezing of serum used in artifical insemina- tion. They hope to be able to freeze this serum and keep it for several years. If it proves success- ful there seems to be no reason why any farmer thousands of miles away could not obtain serum from the best bull in the world even if the bull from which the serum came no longer existed.

He said this experiment is being tried in a limited way and on an experimental basis.

Mr. Cairns told of visiting the farm of Maitiand MacKle who made a lecture tour of United States and Canada a. few years ago. Mr. Cairns had attended one of his lectures in Prince of Wales College auditorium in Charlottetown, at that time.

This Scottish farmer has 140 cows milking, and they get no hay at all, but instead are fed ensilage.

He visited another big farm whepe they have 600 beef cattle, and they harvest no crop except ensilage on this farm.

Almost all of silage was kept: in pit silos. This farm had a machine operated by one man that could load go wagon in 3 1-2 minutes. Some farms even bail silage and lmalntain that this is the proper way to handle it. some use a perservative with silage, but many do not.

He said the secret in making good silage was in how much it is ti-amped and when it is trumped. Most do not tramp it at all until it starts to heat up a little.

Method Of Feeding

In many barns the arrangement was such that the cattle did not have to be fed by hand. Water bowls were conveniently located, and feed was on the opposite side of a. gate affair and as cattle pull- ed out the hay the gate was moved lback so that the cattle literally 'aie their way through the barn.

None of the pen barns were cleaned out oftcner than twice s year-then they were ordinarily cleaned out by tractors and the manure was hauled directly to the field, spread, and ploughed down within two or three days.

In England he never saw anyone spread manure on top of the ground and leave it there. They don't spread it until immediately before they plow the field. They plow down a lot more green crops than we do here-anything from turnips to cultivated mustard. They raise beans and peas for their cows instead of buying ollcake and fish meal for proteins.

one man seemed to have sn- rlched his farm and made it just like a garden by growing turnips and plowing them down.

12 inches. and they also use a sub- soller, an attachment on the plow that digs two or three inches deep- er, breaking up the hard pan and permitting the plant roots to get through to new materals below.

Grain Harvesting

Referring to the harvesting of grain, he was surprised that ne never saw a binder with a carrier attached. The sheaves are strewn all over the field and the men have to chase around and gather them up. He said they were not as short of farm labor as we are here

Plowing is often done to depth of '

-The official changeover at RCAF Station. Summerslde will take place on Monday, October 26th. and the event will probably be observed with an official cere- mony. The station. on that day. will be transferred from Train- ing Command with headquarters at Trenton, Ontario, to Maritime Command with headquarters at Halifax.

Some of the aircraft-Exedltors -have already left for Winnipeg, and the last of the trainees in the Air Navigation School are in the final phase of their training.

By October 26th all the trainees in the Air Navigation School will have left, and the aircraft belong- ing to the Air Navigation School will have been transferred to Winnipeg.

The Central Navigation School

tion Oct. 26

(C.N.S.) will romnin at summer side at least until spring. C.N.:'. teaching advanced nav'igstion,wil' retain the 4-engine Lancaster: and a few of the Dakota aircraft and will be making the usual trips to the United States, United Kingdom, and the Arctic, in the Lancaster: as part of their navi- gation training.

Two naval squadrons, Nos. 870 and 880, using Son Fury and Avenger aircraft, arrived at Sum- merslde a week ago, and will be bssed here.

After October the Maritime operational training unit from Greenwood, N.S., will move to Summerslde.

The Central Navigation School. the navy, and the operational training unit, will then all be using the Summerslde base.-S.

England they grow as many as 4 or 5 crops of grass in the one field in one year.

In Wales he was shown the ef-

fect of limestone that had been put on the hills there some 15 years ago and was still showing

exceptional results in the produci- ion of grass for the grazing of sheep.

They often fertilize their gross fields several times a year. and use great amounts of limestone which is subsidized by the Government. They apply limestone to grassland as high as 10 tons to the acre in certain instances.

The average yield of wheat. he said. might be nearly twice that of Canada, but the quality was not as good as the Canadian grown pro- duct.

He met one farmer who told him that moisture could be held in sandy soil by the application of a half-ton of salt per acre.

Diesel Trend

All roads in England seemed to be paved, and even some of the farms he visited had roads paved

to their back fields. The farmers get electricity at a very low rate. with the bulk of their power supply being approximately a cent a kilowatt.

In England, the Government has given the farmer every financial encouragement to increase the agricultural productiont In land clearance, for example, the Gov- ernment pays 50 per cent" of the cost of clearing, while the balance of the cost is considered an ex- pense deductible for income tax
