_ den-Graph Page 6 THE OAKVILLE TRAFALGAR JOURNAL This Week's Garden-Graph By DEAN HALLIDAY 4-INCH DEEP TRENCH DARK AREA 15 FERTILIZER MIXED WITH SOIL. /I SET SEED PIECES IN PRODT: DEVELOP Potatoes Respond The ideal soil for potatoes is one that is well drained and is loose in texture. If you have had your potato patch plowed and the soil is shattered it will need no further fitting for potatoes. If your patch is small you can plant the seed potatoes in hills, if fairly large in area the trench method of planting Is recom- mended. Make a furrow 4 to 5 inches deep and spread some fertilizer in the bottom of the trench and mix it with the soil. The dark area shown at the bottom of the trench in the accompanying Gar- indicates mixed with soil Commercial fertilizers used for potatoes should contain from 3 to 5 percent nitrogen, 8 to 12 per cent superphosphate, and 7 to 27 percent potash. Plant the seed pieces 3 to 4 in- fertilizer 8 to Proper Planting ches below the level surface of the soil, as illustrated. Cover the potatoes with 11, inches of soil at planting time, and later as the sprouts come up through the soil keep pulling the soil to them until finally the trench is filled in level with the ground, as il- lustrated. Large seed pieces cut to aver- age 1 to 11/, ounces and having two or at most three eyes will prove best. Small tubers of this weight can be planted whole. Tubers weighing 2 to 3 ounces should be split from bud end to stem end; 3 to 41/, ounce tub m end cut off, then the bud end split; 5 ounce tubers should be split from bud to stem end, then through the middle, As soon as the plants are 3 to 4 inches high, start spraying op- erations. BRAVE MEN SUFFER Sheepiest bunch of actors in Cinemaland, this week, is 15 of its bravest and boldest stunt- men! They were hired to play blood-thirsty Apache Indians, and to do all manner of neck-risking deeds opposite stars Randolph Scott and Raymond Massey in 'Warner Bros. Technicolor dra- ma, "Sugarfoot." They reported for work with ebullient bravado as they usually do, but they wilt- ed like snow-balls on a hot stove when one of the lot's prettiest hair-dressers began having at them with combs and brushes. Fancy things had to be done to their hair before they could por- tray Apaches. Ever since movies were born stuntmen have scoffed at "sissified" actors who "sit still" for makeup. {Jeanne Crain, Dan Dailey and Clifton Webb will all have brief bit parts in "Ill Get By," a tech- nicolor musical co-starring Bill Lundigan and June Haver. The pleture, which has just gone in- to production, has added char- acter comedienne Thelma Ritter and radio comic Steve Allen to its cast. A strange flush in diamonds, seven through the jack, lost a bit of money for Warner Bros, dur- ing production of "Perfect Stranger: a court and jury room comedy drama starring Ginger Rogers and Dennis Mor- gan.

The leading lady advertised in a Hollywood newspaper for a maid. By acci- dent, the paper listed her tele- phone number In the ad, instead of a post-office box number for replies, Gail's phone has been buzzing constantly but not from callers applying for the maid's position. They have all been calls from her fans. Guest of the Week If J. D. Orr, Queen Elizabeth Highway, will present himself at the box office of the Century theatre any night next week, he and another guest will be admit- ted free as guests of the Journal Roundup OF Grads Progressing Well Committee Reports The big job of rounding up Oakville High School old boys and girls to attend the grand re- union on June 3 is going steadily forward, reports Herbert C. Merry, chairman of the reunion committee "One hundred and sixty-five invitations have been sent out to former students living outside the province! Mr. Merry told the Journal. "A number of these have replied saying that while they would like to attend the re- union they would be unable to because of the distance. Some of them sent donations. Then there was a chap by the name of Jim Cunningham in Wabash, Indiana. who wrote to tell us he'd be com- ing to the rounion. His sister, living in Orillia, had seen his name In the paper and had sent deville act! it to him." Happy Kiddies Enjoy Monster Egg Hunt In Town Parklands Nearly 600 youngsters excited- ly scoured every inch of Victoria, Busby and Trafalgar parks on Saturday for colored discs, ex- changed them later for candy Easter eggs, and voted the rec- reation commission's second an- nual egg hunt 'an outstanding success. The discs were hidden out by director Ted Kennedy and his high school student helpers 4s a result of last year's unfort- unate experience, when many of the eggs hidden were found dur- ing the early morning hours and pitched into the creek by a group of scatter-brained older boys. Prizes for the greatest number McLeod. Following the hunt, the youngsters sipped steaming mugs of hot chocolate while they wat- ched a movie in Victoria hall, Argos Sign Pair (Continued from Page 1) realize that your club will be losing a key man who will be missed, but I think Bob and I will be able to line up a well exper- fenced coach to replace him be- fore the season rolls around. The Braves are bound to miss Wat- son and Cook, too, if they catch on with our regular team, but I know you have a lot of good ma- terial coming along. What tick- les me most is to be able to give some Canadian youngsters a chance to get into big time foot- ball, for I sincerely feel that the Argonauts club should lend a hand to promising players in the minor loops." Full Agreement Morris' sentiments will be echoed by many Canadian grid- iron observers, who have felt in the past that Aros ahd other top ranking clubs have not done nearly enough to foster the dev- clopment of Canuck talent. In fact, it has been felt that the stress on U.S. imports has shunt- ed ambitious native material into the background. Teddy tactfully skirted this issue, but did admit, as heretofore mentioned, that the big clubs should "help out" wherever possible. "We have to have specialists, Mke passers and placement kickers, and often we have to bring them over the bor- der. But we also have to bring our own lads along, if the game is to continue to flourish' he conceded That Talented Toe He made no bones about the fact that he has great hopes that Gigg's sturdy kicking legs, which opened the eyes of Orillia, Osh- awa and Peterboro fans last fall, will produce an improving brand of puting and place kicking. "If he keeps on belting that ball, he should have a bright future," Morris opined. "I also like Cook's build, and Bob tells me has the competitive spirit to go with it." Argos will begin drilling in mid July, he revealed. Plugging Gaps McKay, whose decision to try another Big Four fling was not arrived at without a great deal of consideration to the local grid scene, is anxious to line up foot- ball men of executive calibre to 'support next fall's Brave cam- paign. "I feel I can line up & coach," he said. "With the Hamil- ton clubs amalgamating, there should be some god lads unat- tached up that way this year But I'd particularly like to hear from interested older men who would be willing to handle the executive detail. In the past, Bil} Hughes and I, with some of the players, have handled all this work, and it'is far from being as satisfactory as having a strong executive of business men. When you are playing, you should be able to give all your attendance to the game itself. So I hope we will hear from a few men who are really interested in the game. 'We have the material and equip- ment, and a growing spectator interest. All we need now is the support of a sound, businesslike Dundas St. N.
