Orono took nine players, three chauffers and a few girl boost- ers, while Port Hope had at least twenty players and the odd spectator. On the face-off Port Hope skated down and drove the pu'ck past the much amazed Taînjblyn. This en- couraged Port Hdpe and after Port Hope players tossed up to see which alternates were to play the game got under way once more. Port Hope added to their lead by two more goals. This ended the first half of the game. In the second half Orono made a good start, 'Case scoring from Major and D. Patterson. However, Port Hope retaliated by scoring another goal. This perhaps deadened Orono’s hopes somewhat, but urged on by the constant cheering of their fair friends and Charles Tyrrell, and the threats of Ross Widdis, Orono skated in fast and Major from Case put Orono up to two goals. The second line of Myles, Kellis and Goode were alternated but failed tq score, Myles missing a. fine chance on a, pass from Kells. Willi six min- utes left Major, Case and D. Bat- terse®. were sent out and Major, who turned in a good performance for Orono, scored again from D. Patter- son. After a, change of lines and with just two minutes left R. Patter- son scored on an assist from Myles.

How To Control The Fusarium Wilts Disease Fiusarium Wilts occur in the war- mer potato growing sections of the country or during warm seasons. Fusarium Wiilts not only: kill the plants prematurely but also cause discoloration and decay of the tuber so that they are unmarketable. In addition, it opens the way for aggres- sive tuber destroying fungi. Discolor- ation of the vascular bundles occurs without | decay and counts heavily against seed stock. In the tubers the disease is marked by brown discolor- ation 'of the vascular ring or a stem end rot. In. the case of stem, end fot (Fu- sarium Fumairtii) sunken areas at the stem end Occur with wrinkling around the margins. In the field as much as one quarter of the. tuber may become involved from the stem end but, may extend the full length of the tuber as a band, of light brown tissue. In the growing plant the leaves become yellow and droop and hang 'by mere threads. The disease may Occur so early that the sprouts may be killed before they emerge above the ground, or it may not appear until a short time before the crop is harvested. CONTROL iSlinee infection may proceed from the soil or from infected! seed, pota- toes two lines of control are recom- mended : (a) If a given tract of land1 bag produced -a wilt-infected crop of po- tatoes a long rotation should be used, before again planting potatoes, pre- ferably seven or eight years. (b) The use of disease free seed and naming of infected plants from the field, as soon as they are notice- able. Since the tubers get. the disease from the mother plant and develop- ment, may occur until late in the sea- son the growing of early maturing varieties may be helpful. Potatoes infected with the disease 'pare heavily to waste, turn dark af- ter cooking and are poorly flavoured. One purchase of this duality of pota- toes: is one too many for any house- wife. Plant disease free seed, sell disease free table stock and hold the market for 'Ontario potatoes. â€"J. T. Ciissin, Potato Fieldman. Talking Pictures Coming To Orono On Monday
