Your roving reporter first heard about the nag from G. Prank Crois- sant, the Chicago real estater, who is supposed to have put most of the books at Hialeah with his larger-sized winnings. Achrding to Croissant, the horse was the property of the Chilean Gov- ernment and Perez, the jockey who had piloted the racer in every race up until he met defeat in the Murphy Handicap at Miami, had Chilean roy- sl blood in his veins. In addition, ac- cording to rumors Croissant had heard, every dime bet. on the horse was Chilean Government money.

Perez immediately ‘grabbed an interpreter and asked permission of the judges to thrash four jockeys who had been riding in the race one at a. time.

TllE SEED POTATO INDUSTRY Certified seed potatoes find a ready market outside Canada. A- bout one million bushels of this seed were purchased by United States po- tato growers in i927. Bermuda took more than 20,000 bushels the same year. Cuba is also a heavy purch- aser of Canadian certified potato seed. The Cuban government re- quires a special certificate which is issued by the potato inspection staff of the Division of Botany of the De- partment of Agriculture at Ottawa. The Dominion Botanist, Mr. _l-_i. '1‘. Gussow, in his report" for 1927 pub- lishcd by the Department of Agricul- ture at Ottawa, expresses the expec- tation. that Cuba will be in the mark et for increased quantities of certi- tified seed this spring. According to this report approximately £1,800.- 000 was received by the certified seed potato growers from the 1927 crop. This seed was ail exported under the official Extra No, i seed tug. In ld- dition more than two and e. half mil- lion bushels of certified seed were made available to the growers of the Dominion for the improvement of their table stock.

Colonel John Hammond, President of the ciub,' stated yesterday in reply to queries regarding thereported breaking up of the team which won the Stanley Cup last year and battled its way w the final against Boston this year. Ruscll Oatman and Gerald Car- son will be disposed of, the Colonel stated, while Harold “Yip" Foster. defence player of the Springfield In- dians in the Canadian-American League, will be added to the roster. Foster, who is a native or Toronto, and a former football star, was sign- ed up by Hammond two years ago, but was sent to Springfield for sen.- soning. An attempt was made to re- call him during the regular national hockey league season, but Hammond ‘ was out-voted by other league dir- actors. iiiiifiiN 0F *niiiiiik_iitisi' There are certain players of horse ‘ races both men and women, who al- ways seek the “dark horsefin each race to wager on, and who never play the favorite or public choice. The expression "dark horse" has been used frequently but few turfmen know the origin cf this term which has been used many times in politi- cal campaigns and stake events, Benjamin Disraeli, better known as the Earl of Beaconsfield of England, was among the firs‘. persons to use the expression "dark horse." He at- tended lite races and, in describing the fiijgiit which was captured by an outsider: ‘ “A dark horse which had never bran thought of, and vrilicli tile care- kss St. Jazitus had never even 0b- scwcd in the list, iusllcd past the grand stand in sweeping triumph." Since Disraeli: saw a heavily back- ed public choice go clown to defeat there have been many such lloises vxhich disappointed tiirfinen in Airi- erica. Because so many idlTlfii-CS fail to win Dcrbies and other important stakes. betlors usually pick o. dark horse to bent tho odds-on choice. With such important c-vcnis as the Louisiana Derby, Kentucky Derby. American Derby and the PLBflkilC-JE to be run this year, there no doubt will be a “dark horse" in czicli cf these flights. It is possible that the favorites may be victorious, but i; is not probable. POULTRY DEVELOPMENT IN MARITLVIE PRO VINCES Effective marketing has stimulated poultry development during the pnsl few years in the Maritime Provinces of Canada. Figures from the Canad- ian burcau of statistics show that there has been a gain of l6 percent ill the number of poultry kept in the Maritime Provinces since 1026, com- pared with a gain over all Canada oi 7 percent. The large proportion of eggs pro- duced for sale by the Maritime farm- ers is marketed through two co-op- erativc organizations, the Prince Ed- ivard Island Co-opcrntive Egg and Poultry Exchange, and the ltitirltinie (Io-operative Egg and Poultry Ex- change which operates in Nova Scoiia and New Brunswick. These associo- tions are served by local organiza- tions known as egg circlcs. There are 68 of these in Prince Edward ‘Island and 86 in the other two Maritime Provinces . The principle of market- ing is co-operative and payment is made on strictly graded basis, This has built .up a. reputation for the marketing organizations for product of e. high quality, bringing higher Drill”. all of which is reflected bacii to the producer and has encouraged and stimulated him in production.
