Juniors trounced Elmira 8-4 Saturday night at Port Perry, in the second game of the All-Ontario Jr. "D" finals, before the largest crowd of the season. Brooklinites dominated the play throughout the game as they out- skated their western rivals and were very sharp around the visitor's net. Gibson, starry centre of the first line scored the hat trick for the locals while Doug Vipond was always a stumbling block on the defence. M, Jones fired one from the blue line 'at 5:33 to open the scoring for Brooklin and Pascoe added another at 11.21 when he combined with Tran and Warriner, Carnegie gave the locals a three-goal-lead at 18:37 with assists to Gibson-and Cdrnish, Brooklinites caught fire at the open- ing of the middlle session blazing in three goals in three minutes.

Dolson, B.S.A,, M.A, representative of the C.LL. laboratory at Chatham, tothe Port Perry Junior Farmers. Mr. Dolson explained that soil con- tains or needs twelve plant nutrients. These nutrients are divided into three classes according to importance, name- ly primary, secondary & minor, Under primary we have nitrogen, phosphorus and potash. When we buy commer- .- cial fertilizer.we are buying the prim- ary nutrients, Calcium, magnesium and 'sulphur are secondary, and iron, boron, copper, mangenese, zinc and molyledenum are minor. The soil in Ontario counties such as Huron, Norfolk and Kent contains a fairly abundant supply of organic matter; however, Ontario and Huron are very low in phosphorus and On- tario is low in potash. In Ontario, even virgin soil is low in phosphorus. Most farmers know that fertilizer is profitable, however, according to Mr. Dolson it is very profitable if used in- telligently. Just as there are three rs to be remembered by the pupil in school, there 'are three p's to be re- membered by the farmer on the farm, namely pounds, p oportion and place- ment. That is the 3pil should receive the correct number of\1bs per acre ac- very farmer who uses fertilizer should have his soil tested in every field and every different part of the field if the soil differs such as sandy and gravel areas or heavy clay or light loam if he is to follow the above three p's of guidance. Usually the best time to test soil is in the fall because soil weaknesses are .most apparent then, however, there are other appropriate times such as testing before seeding down orebefore planting high cash crops. The soil to be tested must be in_a tillable condi- tion, ing a soil sample from a field. F take from the plow level for ordipfry crops such as wheat and oats;-and for a sub-soil test, 10" to a 12' depth for orchard, alfalfa. and sweet clover. Here are a few pointers i id irgf, Take from as many areas as pos- ~ sible, atleast one from every acre--be gure to sample high and low areas and Be sure to mixe the samples thoroughly before placing in the special box which can be procured from your C.IL. agent, Mr. Fair operated the slide projector for Mr. Dolson who showed us colored pictures of crops such as'corn, grain, potatoes and pasture. The contrast between fertilized and unfertilized crops was quite apparent. The band seeding method of grass " planting with fertilizer constitutes a saving because less seed is required to procure.a good stand of elgumes and grasses, If "your corn leaves turn yellow too soon, there probably is a shortage of nitrogen in the soil, It was through the efforts of Mr. Bill Pollard, local C.I.L. agent, Mr, Dolson eame and spoke to us on soil testing, funeral service at the McDermott- Pannabaker Chapel was held on Fyi- .o| When just a little girl Mrs. Kerr's Obituary -riel and grandsons Bill and Ted Lamb. was the trigger-man for a pair and Cornish sank a single. Dunch broke the ice for Elmira at 8.27 on a solo effort with Cornish replying for Brooklin at 13:20 with the help of Grandy and Gibson. Bs The visitors took advantage of pen- alties to Jones and Vipond and rapped in three goals in the third period, Hen- rich notching a pair and Wilkins one. Gibson completed his hat trick per- formance at 10:10 on a pass from Car- negie and for the balance of the period the locals maintained a strong defence to protect their four goal lead.
