PAG!LTORTF Durham Crop Improvement Assoc. Flecis Ralph Larmer President L! Annual Meeting Held Friday Nearly 100 Durham County farmers attended the annual ]meeting of the Durham Soil and Crop Improvernent Association beld in the Lions Cammunity Centre, Bowmanvîlle, last Fni- day afternoan. The meeting heard an excel- lent address by Dr. D. N. Hunt- ley. head of the Field Husband- ry Department of the Ontarnio Agricultural College, Guelph, and elected their officers for 1954. Following are the officers of the Association for next year: President, Rahph Larmer, Nes- tieton; past president, Carias Tamblyn, Orono: lst vice, Del- bert Olan, Millbrook, 2nd vice, Lloyd Kellogg, Port Hope: secre- tary-treasurer, Ed Surnmers, as- sistant secnetary, Jay Brown, Bowmanville. Introduced by Jay Brown, as- sistant agicultural representa-1 tive for Durham, Dr. Huntley stated that it might seeni odd for him to be speaking an in- creasing agricultural production at a time when Canada has vast wheat surpluses and most peo- ple are advacating less produc- tion. However, he painted out that the prosperous farmen is the farmer who makes each acre praduce the highest yield. Hlgh Standards Set "By the high standards by your winning judging teams and the large number of farmers who have won pnizes for production in this county, it is evident that you are interested in increasing production from yaur farms", Dr. Huntley declared. "The problein is ta get all the fanm- ers in the county ta find out how they can increase produc- tion. They can do this by fol- lowîng the example set by the better farmers and by making PROCLAMATION BOXJNG DAY Saturday, De. 26, 1953 I hereby proclaim Boxing Day, December 26th, 1953, in the Town of Bowmanville and request ail citizens to observe the same.

Dr. Huntley reminded hisi dience that agricultural repr entatives and provincial expe mental farms are both campa tively recent developments, hi ing corne into being in the 1 40 years. He also pointed that private concerns 'such feltilizer and farmn implemrt manufacturers are also sper ing large sums an research ta J crease production. New varieties of grains, fi age crops and fruits are bei introduced ahl the time, he sa and farmers should take adve tage of these new varieties. F searchers are also, trying ta gr( varieties of wheat which are i sistant ta diseases such as t dwarf bunt, a blight whicb 1. now entered Ontario. Insectici campanies are cooperating trying ta develop a spray whi will kili this disease, he said. New Oat Variety The speaker stated that Sii coe aats is a new varîety whi has been developed recent and asked local farmers h( they liked it. Garnet Rickai R. R. 4, Bowmanville, and Ro ert Armstrong, Cavan, bath i parted they had grown the va iety this year and found it fai ly good. Dr. Huntley stated th this varîety seems ta do bett in Western Ontario than Central and Eastern Ontar "These county tests are impo tant", he asserted, "becau they give us this type of info matian sa we know which va ieties ta recommend". Dr. Huntley urged bis liste ers ta try mare corn productii in Durham County. He stress< the fact that a bushel of co: bas twice the feed value of bushel of oats. Ten or 15 acr of corn will therefore produ as much feed value as 25 acr of aats. While it is slightly, mo: expensive ta graw than oats, is actually a mare ecanamic feed crap, he declared. Recent studies have upset ai papular belief, the speaker a serted, in that they have show, that an acre of mixed gra: crop does nat praduce more feE than an acre of straight aats c barley. Experiments have ai: shown that an acre sown ta simple crap of alfaif a and or grass produces just as much fee as an acre sown ta a complE mixture of grasses. They a1L show that orchard grass is si periar as a feed ta timothy.

Former Junior Clerk Here With The Bank of Commerce is Chief Inspector, The announcement in Toron- ta papers on Monday that Alan Petnie had been appointed Chief Inspector at the head office of The Canadian Bank cf Com- merce bad mare than a passing interest for many citizens who lived in Bowmanville 25 yeans ago. For it was in 1929 that this yaung man was brought out ta Canada by the bank fnam bis na- tive Banffshire in northeastern Scotland, and joined the local brancb hene of the Bank of Commerce. If aur memory serves us carnectly A. W. Craw- forth now of Stnathroy, was the manager at the time. Another item of local interest is the fact that Alan boanded at the home of Mrs. David Davis, Beech Ave., where s0 many young men found it an ideal -home away from home" due ta the loving cane and attention Mrs. Davis gave ber "boys". It was soon realized by the bank officials that they bad made no mistake i selecting Alan Petnie under the bank's palicy of bringing young Scotch- men ta Canada and training them in finance and banking.

Later we learned Mr. Petrie was promoted to assistant manager at Calgary. Alta., then was sent ta London, England, for several years. For the last three years he has been an Inspector at Head Office. Toronto. Mr. Petrie in now becoming Chief Inspector at Head Office succeeds Mr. G. N. Morrison who has been appointed Executive Assistant at Head Office. There is stili another impor- tant association Mr. Petrie has with Bowmanville. While locat- ed here he met a very winsome Scotch lassie, Nora Brown, daughter of the late James Brown, and sister af Norman Brown, who stili resides an and owns the Wesley Allun farm, west of town. In 1940 Mr. Petrie and Miss Brown were married and they have a daughter il and a son six. Since returning fromn England the Petries live at 192 Bessbor- augh Drive, Leaside.

BASKETBALL On Fniday night aur boys' basketball teams had a last look at freedoni befone settling down ta exams. The three Bowman- ville teams played in Pickering. Our Juniors were victariaus but the Seniors and Bantams lost out ta Pickering. However we're sure they just needed a game ta get warmed up and we really expect big things fram aur teanis this year. We hear the dance afterwards was very en- soc HOP 1 The big mystery whicb bal- fled the school for so long bas finally been so¶ved. Our fearless Captain Saturday (Ron Turner ta yau) tracked the culpnits çlawn and revealed that the mys- teriaus signs posted around the scbool meant that the Bay's Ath- letic Society was going ta bold a Soc Hop on Dec. 4. Well hold it they did and from aur stand- Spoint at least it was a loaming success. We don't know whe- ther people are just naturally mare relaxed in their stocking feet but everyane had a good time. We don't know whethen the r dance did anything ta aid the finances of the Boys' Athletic Society. We sure hope it did be- cause we'd like ta see them throw a few mare shindigs like that. VOLLEYBALL CHAMPS In two tense games Friday af-j tennoon the Junior and Senior volleyball championships of the' school were decided. At 3:00 the entine school (or as many of us as cauld squeeze inta the gym) went ta the gymnasium ta watcb the noon hour and four a'clock champions of the twa divisions play off for the championship of tbe schoal.

In a bard fougbt second game they defeated 11A ta be-1. came the Senior Volleyball champs. Ail that is left for this form ta grab off are the inter- mural basketball championships.!
