^* •:%•.' Ttniiis is a game which gives us, personally, a pain in the ncclc. This is not such a dirty slam at a really fine sport as it might appear at lirsf sight, but merely our way of •aying that for donkey's years our to'.e ill tennis has been strictly that of a spectator; and no sport on earth will give you a crick in the neck as quicky and surely as watching first-grade tennis, unless your observation post is directly back of one of the basc-liiies. • * * Not that we Canadians get much chance of taking a swivel at first- grade tennis, the quality of our native game seeming to improve at about the same rate of speed as that of our race-track Thorough- breds â€" and if you think that is a complimentary remark, you're wel- come. • * * Our Canadian racket-wielders are pretty much outclassed any time they step into top-notch competi- tion, and that's all there is about h; and while it's customary â€" and easyâ€" to nut the blame almost en- tirely on our weather conditions, it's possible that there may be other reasons as well. With so many On- tario communities either engaged in, or planning, the construction of .'ports centres, possibly the fol- lowing remarks regarding the proper courts to build in order to encourage fast tennis may not be too far off the beam. » * • It's no real secret that the best tennis in the world is played in California. A prominent official out there recently stated that they con.iidercd it a poor year when their players didn't win at least «evtniy-five per cent of their matches in he major national and iniernatiorial tournaments. He •wasn't just boasting, either. He was iiiniply stating a fact tliat's borne out by the records. .And it can't all be just sun and balmy weather, because other sections of the world «re blessed with those commodities as will as California â€" but they still «lon'f have the mass production of Cradc /\ racketeers. • • • (lene Mako, who tennis fans re- call as doubles partner of Don Budge, â€" and a grand combination they were â€" believes that the nature of the courts they play on has far more to do with California young- sters' success than the climate. Un- like most other places, young Cal- tfornians are brought up almost ex- clusively on tennis courts of con- crete manufacture. • * ♦ In contrast to the surfaces in use throughout the rest of the country, the concrete court gives tennis balls a good, true bounce. One thing this tends to deveop in a player is smoothness and rhythm of stroking. • * * The bounce, too, off concrete is faster than grass or cla • or practi- cally any other surface outside of luirdwood. What does this mean? More speed, for one thing. • * * The development of the attacking game that is synonymous with /It the ace or twelve |«e WAS THE nWNiEil T« WIN Ttsf^lMWL HllMN« jjtifTy/v2 MEO'^'- MtMBtK or 'M CanaiA rtUT OLYMPIC j^UM IN 1906 Al NATIONAL RUNNING tHAHPIOH AT TWO, riVf W TEM MILES, NC WAS CIVfN miOW< TITLE »r i^ARATHOH" 'MR EX" Elwood a.

"On concrete you learn to hit and come in," Mako explains. You learn to play correctly. Look over the lists of recent years. See if you ccan find a clay courts player who consistently won any of the big tournaments. You know why they haven't? Chy court players are 90 per cent baseliners. And you just can't win big matches from the baseline." * * « Mako, who now is a construc- tion engineer and a specialist at cement courts, recently returned to California from a trip East. "Back there and in the Midwest they know nothing about cement construc- tion," he claims. "They do it all wrong. Whey they do build a ce- ment court they do it by sections. * ♦ » "Any one-process pour is super- ior to a two-process," he explained. "That way you get a flat, even sur- face that is free from buckling." In constructing a cement court, Mako likes to have his crew begin pouring at 6:30 in the morning of the appointed day. If all goes well, that phase of the job ought to take no more than four hours. That is, for a court of normal size, say 60 by 120 feet. * * » "At noon, just as the cement starts to settle, the hand finishers go to work," Mako explained. "This is the most important part of the operation. A hand-appiied rotary finish must be put on the court." A delicate process, the work is demanding of an artisan's skill. "Out of 100 hand finishers," Mako said, "maybe you will get three good ones." * * * Of course, the cement courts are expensive. Say between $5,000 and $6,000, depending upon the type and location. After that, though, there is practically no upkeep. The courts don't have to be watered, rolled, sodded or, better than any- thiiiK, mowed.

When 1 ran across newf about the latest substitute for eggs, 1 couldn't help thinking of Uncle Eph Palmer, back on the farm in Wellington County in the days of too long ago. .\unt Hetty had just returned from the village where it was her custom to trade in butter, eggs and similar truck for store goods and Uncle Eph inquired how much eggs were fetching. * • ♦ "Three dozen for a quarter," Aunt Hetty replied, "and likely to go lower they say." "Is that all?" said Uncle Eph. "Heckl That hard- ly pays for the wear and tear on the poor hens!" * * Ik Anyway, according to the dis- patch 1 referred to at the begin- ning, over in Norway they've per- fected a chemical process which outproduces one hundred thousand hens to daily transform quantities of codfish waste into synthetic egg white. One pound of the artificial product is said to be equivalent to the albumen contained in ISO hen's eggs. *. * * According to Chemical and En- gineering News, the synthetic al- bumen contains 80 to 90 per cent pure protein and can be used for baking, ice-cream, mayonnaise, and pharmacceutical products, as well as in the textile and paint indus- try. Albumen is also used indus- trially for soap, cosmetics, and paper. * * * One pound of the synthetic prod- uct requires approximately 11 po'inds of waste from the Nor- wegian coddfish industry accord- ing to the report. Trial production of more than 600 pounds a day has been started by two Norweg- ian firms. ♦ * ♦ . Production is carried" out by a completely chemical - mechanical proess from the time the fish enter the pipe line at one end of the plant until the end product emerges in the form of a dry white pow- der. Norwegian fishermen haul about 1,000,000 tons of fish from the sea each year, of which a large portion is processed into margar- ine and catth fodder. ♦ ♦ » Well, all I have to add is that if this sort of thing continues, pretty soon things will be better â€" or worse â€" than they were back in Uncle Eph's day, and there won't be any "wear and tear" on the hens at all. Maybe there won't even be any hens. .Ain't Science wonderful? â- Â» * ♦ Recently a group of prominent Canadian agriculturists and farm editors took a tour through Ver- mont and New Hampshire where, for the past few years, an extensive grassland improvement program has been in progress, the folks down there believing that highly produc- tive pastures are an important part of improving and nlaintaining rural prosperity. ♦ * ♦ While there the Canadians saw prosperous dairy farms, for ex- ample, with as much as seventy- five per cent of their areas in grass. Many farms were able to maintain « dairy cow on two acres of forage per year. On one farm for a herd of Guernseys (26 milking) enough forage was obtained from 47 acres o! hay and pasture. In most cases excess grass was harvested and preserved as grass silage which was f'd in dry weather in summer when pastures were relatively unproduc- tive and during winter to keep up milk production. • • » The New England farmers use no essentially new ideas or meth- ods to achieve their success. Most of their grasslands are the hay- pasture type which are left in hay and pasture for five years before re-plowing and re-seeding. No seed mixture is standard for the area. One excellent pasture consisted dt ladino clover and orchard grass only. • « * High yields are obtained by other farmers from mixing such grasses as timothy, brome or orchard grass with legumes such as alfalfa, red o! ladino clover, depending on what mixture has been found to be most productive. Good results are ob- tained when legumes are seeded in the fall and grasses during spring. No farms visited used more than 15 pounds of seed per acre. » N> >> Highy productive pastures were fertilized with as much as 1,000 pounds of fertilizer per acre at the time of seeding. For maintainence during the next five years super- phosphate was applied alone or in mixture with potash or a complete mixture depending on the seed used and needs of the soil as determined by a soil test. After the initial treatment, top-dressing with man- ure or fertiliizer is standard prac- tice each year. * * « The general consensus of the visiting group was that methods used by New England farmers in their grassland program should be carefuly studied and emulated by Canadians who are looking to live- Stocle as the main source of in- come. Potential benefits are two- fold: (a) Production of low cost yet highly nutritous feed. ' (b) A paying soil conservation program â€" something that is vital- ly needed for Canadian farm lands. * .» * All of which sounds not only interesting, but mighty sensible and practical as well, and I'm glad to pass along thes- suggestions to any readers of this column â€" and I hope there are a lot of .youâ€"to whom they may be of value. •• Classified Advertising.. c«=n ACCOCMTINO BOOKKEEPINO * ACCOONTING SERVICE IrvlnB N, ghooni. 77 Victoria at..
