The Friendly Subscriber Sends in the News There is nothing that is r welcome to a newspaper office than the friendly subscribes- who send a bit of news, either by phoning, by letter, or by dropping in at the office. Dozens of incidents occur in the district that are noteworthy ant general interest, but these may not reach the paper until long after the occurence, or maybe not at all. PeopK come and go throughout the com munity bringing a pleasant littit ripple in social life, but too often no one troubles to notify the local newspaper. Yet these little items are appreciated by the office, and they are read by everybody. CHOOSING FERTILIZERS This is the time of year when farmers are purchasing or considering fertilizers for the various farm crops. Until quite recently, farmers who had not made a study of fertilizers usually depend upon the local fertilizer agent to advise them as to the particular analysis they should use, and unfortunateiy the advice from this . pource was not always in the farmer's best interest. A more acceptable source of information is nowr at the service of farmers, for the Provincial Governments in Eastern Canada have In recent years set up fertilizer councils composed of leading authorities In agricultural chemistry, farmers who have a practical knowledge of the best use for fertilizers, and representatives of fertilizer manufacturers. These councils publish recommendations as to the analysis most suitable for the various crops under the various soil conditions, and thus are performing a valuable service to farmers in assisting them to select fertilizers which promise the most economic returns. The fire prevention expert for the United States Department of Agriculture states that fire loss on farms would be substantially reduced if a ladder were part of the equipment of every farm. A ladder kept in a convenient place makes any roof fire quickly accessible and provides means for occasional inspection of chimneys and flues. The same applies to urban residences.

A., just one grade below majors, and make good is the fine record established by Lee Handley, brilliant young third baseman for the Toronto Maple Leaf Baseball Club. Handley came to the Laafs directly Bradley College this spring. He first joined the camp of the Cincinnati Reds at Tampa, Florida., but received little chance to break into their lineup. When the Leafs practiced on Diamond No. Two at Tampa Park, Handley would come over and ask Boone for a chance to work-out. Boone gave the lad every opportunity to make a place on the Toronto Club, as he was impressed right from the start with the lad's never-say-die spirit. Thomas was slated for third base at the time but he ran into hand-injury and thus Handley got his real break. When the Leafs started to play exhibition games, Boone called upon Handley to play third and he has remained at that position eveir since. Not only does Handley field his position in a firs.t-class manner but he can hit and his specialty is banging out three base hits when least expected. Handley is but a short lad and weighs around 150 pounds, but every pound of his weight goes into the swing when he connects for base hits. Hand-ley is a pepper-pot around third base and he is always yelling or whistling while the Leafs1 are in the field. Morning and Afternoon Games at Leaf Stadium on May 24th All Ontario will have a chance to view the Maple Leafs in action Victoria Day, which falls on Friday, May 24th, this year. General Manager Arthur H. Leman has set aside this day as the only morning and afternoon holiday program in answer to many requests from baseball fans throughout the Province. Buffalo Bisons with their greatly improved Club will be the Maple Leafs' ponents in both morning asd afternoon holiday games. The morning game will start at 10.30, while the afternoon contest is slated to get under way at 3 o'clock. Make it a day and bring the whole family to Toronto Victoria Day holiday and see your Maple Leafs perform. Action at Fleet Street Stadium These Fine May Days Ike Boone has his Toronto Maple Leafs hustling again this season right now they are in the thick of an interesting fight with Newark and Montreal for first position in the International League race. The return of Joe Morrissey at second base and the addition of Pitcher Ray (Peashes) Davis has helped considerable along with the unexpected hitting ability of the younger members. Tom Oliver continues to star in centre field and in a recent game with Albany he cleared the bases with a home run over the left-field fence with the bases loaded. Baltimore Orioles are finding It much harder to get those home outside of their own ball, park ; they will find the Maple Leafs ready to give them a thorough going-during their schedule games at Fleet Street Stadium on Monday, May 13th, Tuesday, May 14th, Wednesday, May 15th and Thursday, May 16th. Rochester Red Wings follow Baltimore into Maple Leaf Stadium and there should be a real series as the Red Wings have not forgotten that it was the Leafs who eliminated them in the final round of the play-off series last fall. The addition of Mize on first base, Spark Adams at third, and pitchers Ward and Michaels, along with Gene Moore in the outfield has boosted the Rochester stock considerably. Rochester plays the Leafs at the Fleet Street Stadium on Saturday, May 18th (double-header likely). Monday, May 20th, Tuesday, May 21st, and Wednesday, May 22nd. Then come the Buffalo Bisons on Thursday, May 23rd, for a single game With the morning and afternoon games following the next day on the Friday, May 24th holiday. Buffalo also meets the Leafs at the Fleet Street Stadium on Saturdey, May 25th. The spring home series concludes with Montreal Royals playing the Leafs in two single games, the first being scheduled for Friday, May 31, and the second Saturday, June 1st. Don't Forget June 27th is the Date for the First Night Game of the Season Already arrangements are being made for a gala show on the occasion of the first night ball game of the 1935 reason which General Manager Arthur Leman has announced for Thursday, June 27th. when the Leafs return to the Maple Leaf Stadium after their lengthy June road trip and meet the Buffalo Bisons under the floodlights. The resumption of the nocturnal game is great news to the Ontario fans of the Toronto Baseball Club who took this opportunity to visit the spacious grounds on Fleet Street Stadium and cheer for Ike Boone's battling crew they performed under the best set of floodlights in minor league baseball. No doubt several Ontario centres will arrange special parties for this big night. Why not make your seat reservations with the Toronto Baseball Club now.

Western Canada is expecting a good share of this traffic and the Canadian Pacific Railway is making extensive preparations there in its hotels and bungalow camps-Dates have been arranged for special entertainments at Banff Springs Hotel, which opens on June 16, and Chateau Lake Louise, which opens on June 21.
