ee THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1931 PAGE NINE POTATO-CLUB TO AGAIN OPERATE INTHIS COUNTRY Young Men ° will Have Op- portunity of Growing Cer- tified Seed Word will shorlty be going out to teen age boys throughout the potato district around Uxbridge, Goodwood, Zephyr, Sandford and Udora inviting them to take part in potato club work again, The plan carried out by the Depart- ment of Agriculture since potato improvement work was started three years ago will be about the same this year. The boys in the junior ¢lub will carry on a 1-10 acre project with 1 bag of certi- fied Dooley seed. They will also have a fertilizer test and will keep poudugetion cost records as in other years. The production cost reports from the 73 boys who took part last year are quite in line with costs of other years and also with cost records as turned in by the boys in the senior or 3% acre club and also with the records of the "300" bushel club members. They plainly indicate that 300 bushel yields are produced at one-half or less the cost per bushel that aver- age or 126 bushel yields are pro- ducted at. 2p boys produced an average of 312 bushels at a cost of .27c per bus. : 16 Dboys produced an average of 215 bushels at a cost of .34c per bus. 8 boys produced an average of 125 bushels at a cost of .60¢c pei" bus, The high yield in the junior club last year was 420 bushels per acre and wag produced by Geo. Moore, Uxbridge, R.R. No. 1. The fertilizer used by the jun- for boys last year was 4-8-10 and was applied at 500 lbs. per acre. The average increase in yield from its use was 38 bushels per acre, not quite so marked an' increase as in the previous two years. In the senior club in which 19 boys were enrolled the high yield was 3256 bushels which was pro- duced by Irwin Kennedy, Uxbridge, R.R. No. 2. The fertilizer tests as carrieu out. by this group showed: Average increase in yield, 2-12- 6 at 750 lbs. per acre, 33.11 bus, Average increase in yield, 4-8- 10 at 750 1bs, per acre, 49.34 bus. Average increase in yield, 10- 20-15 at 500 lbs. per acre, 30.84 bus, The cost records were much the same as for the juniors. In the "300" bushel club in which 19 were enrolled and from whom 14 reports were received, 4-8-10 applied at 750 lbs. per acre gave .the best and most econ- omical results, namely 65.7 bush- els per acre increase in yletd. 4- 8-10 at 1000 lbs. per acre giving 66.4 bushels per acre increase, not enough to justify the heavier application. The same fertilizer applied at 1500 did not give suf- ficient high increase in yleld to justify any higher rate of applica- tion than 750 lbs. In figuring the resultant profit from the 750 1b. application 65.7 bus. increase in yield at 60c a bushel 2-3 cost-of 750 lbs. 8-10 at $48.00 a ton creases 32.87 of 4- «eo 12,00 Profit per acre The bulk of last year's crop was probably marketed at 75c a bag and 2-3 of the cost of the fer- tilizer charged to the potatoe crop is probably a fair charge as the following crop would benefit from the fertilizer application some- what. In using the cost record figures appearing efkewhere in thig ar ticle an interesting compatison can be figured out. 1 acre ylelded .312 .bus. which if sold at $1.00 a bag brought ......... 234.00 1 acte ylelding 312 bus. cost 27¢ a bus. to pro- duce cesevevianies 84.24 ¥.

Andrew Brown selected this brown-eyed, brown-skinned Eski- mo girl from an entry of two dozen in the, first beauty contest ever held inside the Arctic circle. From Baker Lake, little trading post on Chesterfield Inlet, just a thousand miles north of Winnipeg, came word of Enoosiak's triumph. "Shining Star," her name means, and proudly, for the first time in her life, she can survey her prize- winning features, A mirror was her reward, the first she has ever owned, Brown, who organized the con- test, declares Enoosiak the most beautiful Eskimo lady he has ever geen, She lives not far from Baker Cake. Profit eivevevensonaee $384.48 The point is quite obvious, the grower whose yields are around 126 bushels per acre can't make any real profit at much less than $1.00 per bag, In fact the 300 bushel man actually shows a greater profit oft 1 acre than the 125 bushel man shows off ten acres. If one acre of good potato soll well handled and with the use of certified seed, proper fertiliza- tion and good spraying can be made to 'show as great a profit as 10 or 12 acres, the remaining 9 or 10 acres might better be used for pasture or other érops. FORMER WHITBY WOMAN MEETS A TRAGIC DEATH Allegedly Slain by Husband, Who Is Held on Murder i. "Charge. Toronto, March 12.--On his re- turn home from work last even- ing and finding his wite, Frances, aged 42 years, lying in a drunken stupor on the floor of the dining- room in their rooming house at 66 Ann street, Willlam Milne, aged 42 years, a civic employee, is alleged to have kicked her three times as she lay on the floor, killing her. Milne has been arrested on & charge of murder, Mrs. Milne was Frances Breen, daughter of the late Andrew Breen of Whitby, who died last Christe mas. Her first hushand, Herovert Hooley, died seven years ago, and five years ago she was married to William Milne. Among her near-relatives are Mrs. H. G. Greene of 241 Wortley street, London, Ont.; Mrs. Marg- aret Carleton, Buffalo, N.Y.; and Mrs, Mona Smith of Apple street, Whitby, who are sisters and Mrs. H.

(Continued from page 1) lieved satisfactory for coking pur- poses, on account of its excessive moisture, . The U.P. and L. had coal mines in Illinois, so here was a prob- lem to be solved in the research 'a- boratories of the coporation, Solved it was, and at this plant at Granite Citv Illinois coal is being transform- ed into coke. The use of higher tem- peratures in the under-firing, and of a longer period for coking, guaged to the exactitude of a minute, have enabled the engineers of this plant to utilize Illinois coal in the coking ov- ens. Eighteen hours and thirty-nine minutes are allowed for coking, in- stead of the twelve hours at tie plant I saw yesterday, and coke is turned out which is not only highly satisfac- tory for domestic use, but also for the more important processes of the blast furnace. The coke ovens I saw here were larger than those I de- scribed yesterday, having a capacity of fifteen tons of coal, producine about eleven tons of coke. It was quite a sight today to stand on top of one of the coke ovens, and see the white-hot coke being drawn out, to drop in a great glow of heat into the steel car below from which, after being cooled with water, it was "dumped into a conveyer belt system, screened, and then transferred into cars to be taken to the blast furnace building or to the great stacks waited to be distributed to the public, It was quite a sight, too, to sce the ov- ens being recharged with coal through the holes on ton, with smoke and flames belching out of the hole as the first gases ignited on contact with the white-hot sides of the coke ovens. Here, again, every bit of gas is used. The lean gas is fed back un- derneath the ovens to provide fuel for the under-firing, while the richer gas goes into the refining and puri- fying plant, there to be denuded of the tar, ammonia, benzol and other by-products which are so valuable. Here I saw napthelene being prepar- ed in crystal form, to be shipped to a nearby factory to be made into moth-ballss Here I saw liquid am- monium sulphate being dried out in- to powder form to be distributed as fertilizer. Here I had to hand over all my matches to the guide and have them deposited in a box outside, be- fore entering the building in which benzol is produced from the gas by washing it with straw oil. This tfac- tory has a good market for 60 and 90 per cent benzol, so the process of complete purification is eliminated, and, said the superintendent, this has proven more profitable than purify. ing and Selling the pure benzol, Huge Machine At this plant I saw a gigantic coal- dumping machine, and watched it tn- load two full-size railway care-loads of coal in less than five minutes. The cars of coal were picked up, raised to a height of about forty feet, turn- ed upside down, and the coal pour- ed into huge hoppers, and from there on to a system of conveyer belts, It was amazing to see the huge car, with its load of coal, being picked up as if it were a toy, and nearly turn- ed upside down, just as a boy would empty out a little painful of gravel, and the coal shot down into the hop- per. Running on a day's stretch, this dumping machine averages twen- ty cars of coal per hour, but while we were watching, it took about two minutes per car, The handling of the coal is inter- esting. The conveyer belt carries it up to a high tower, in which it: is screened, It travels along a high ov- erhead chute, to another tower, where it is mixed with other types of coal, for three different grades of coal are mixed to produce 'the type of coke desired. Then it goes on along another chute to a pulverizing machine, where it is reduced to the proper' size. And finally it is car- ried up another system of conveyer belts to the storage hoppers high up in the air above the coke oven. Ev- erything that could be devised to make easy the handling of the thou- sands of tons of coal required seems to have been put into use. The gas produced in this part of the system is piped over to the city of St. Louis, and distributed through a sub-station near the Mississippi river . The coke is used, primarily, for the blast furnace, and the sur- plus distributed for sale to the pub- lie. This plant, unlike those I saw yesterday, was not primarily a gas plant, It was a blast furnace plant for the production of pig iron, in which coke is a necessary ingredient. To provide this coke, the coking plant was necessary, and from it the gas is a by-product, which, in its tugn, produces. other by-products. n the blast furnace end of the plant I saw many new things. ~The great power house not only supplied power for the-plent-but produced a surplus of power to be transmitted to St. Louis and sold as electric light and power to the consumers in this city, Down below I saw the giant boilers, heated by the waste gas from the blast furnace, part of which was utilized to heat 'the air from the fur- naces and provide the {tremendous heat required, and: part to fire the boilers tor 'the generation of elec- tricity and the operation of the blow- ers of the blast furnace, which is maintained at the terrific' heat of 1350 degrees fahrenheit, Blast Furnace i Operation The blast furnace was in full oper- ation when I saw. it this forenoon, On one side, the slag, consisting of impurities, was pouring out of a tap in a white-hot stream, so fierce that one could not apprach it. It was pour ing down a trough into a large. iron ladle, where it was settled down, red- hot. From there, I was told, it was taken to a crushing plant, and there broken up to be sold as railway bal- last. On the other, side of the fur- nace was the opening for the iron, but it was not ready for tapping. From this opening, however, the iron] poured into a gutter made of clay, with a series of dams and separators, which divided any remaining slag from the iron, to run 6ff to one side, and the iron trickled down into the huge ladles, each. capable' of carrying 55 tons of molten iron. . The furnace has a capacity of 130 tons and is constantly in operation, although the iron is drawn off only once every five hours. The molten mass inside the furnace, however, 'is contifually settling, so fresh supplies of the necessary materials are poured in at the top, to keep up the supply. Three ingredients are used, It takes two tons of iron ore, one ton of coke and half a ton of Hmestone to produce one ton of pig iron. The slag is largely composed of the non-essen- tial parts of the coke and limestone, while the coke gives off the gas that is used, as described before, to keep the boilers operating to provide en- ray for the electrical generators and blowers. From the furnaces, the ladles of molten pig iron travel along tracks to the moulding department, where it is poured into moulds placed on a conveyer belt, the iron soaked with water to cool it, and then tipped off "and thinking of what it would mean Orang Pde. cua, [5 Ron podirans ad Sy Ted Te An ou rong, Weed, WN i RED ROSE | TER 2CW0CE me ORL A schon into cars waiting to receive it. What It 'Would Mean to Oshawa This, of course, is all incidental to the purpose of visiting the plant, but it was fascinating to see it all, and to note how use was made of every possible otince of material. Science has combined with human hands to produce an economical process of manufacturing, in which coke and gas were the central ingredients. 1 felt like letting my imagination ruin riot, to Oshawa were this corporation, which is seeking to buy the Oshawa gas plant and distribution" system, were to put all this scientific knowl- edge and experience into the Oshawa plant, and develop it as this plant at Granite City, Illinois had been de- veloped, for the production of gas, coke, pig iron, ammonium sulphate, tar, napthelene, benzol and merchant- able slag. What a picture of indus- try this presented, built up around the Oshawa harbor in imagination. Yet it did not seem improbable. The iron ores for this plant are ship- ped down in the summer months, all the way to Missouri from Northern Michigan and Northern Wisconsin, and the coal comes from the com- pany's own mines in Illinois. That being so, why could not iron ores be shipped down from The Sault Ste. Marie disty to Oshawa by water. limestone f -ed from Lake Ontario districts - °\ e it is plentiful, and coke from awoking plant on the Osh- awa harbor, to create an industry of this type, all built around the de- velopment of Oshawa's gas plant. That, of course, is a dream of tlie imagination, but, after two days spent in the gas, coking and blast furnace plants of the Utilities P and Light Corporation, I felt Justified in letting the imagination have free rein, for, should such development ever be justified, the U.P, and L. is just the kind of corporation to une dertake them, to be able to finance them, and to provide the necessa background of scientific research ai technical knowledge to nioke them a sucess. Tomorrow I will be on my way to Mount Olive, Illinois, to travel in the engine cab of a train on one. of railways of the U.P. and L, and to visit the Mount Olive and Litchfield mines trom which came the coal I saw being transformed into coke to- day. Then at midnight, -- back to Chicago, to run out to Clinton, Iowa, there to see a gas plant in artual A ation in a community almost exactly the same size as Oshawa.
