"D" WHIP ;ELMIRA TO TIE SERIES Brooklin Juniors trounced Elmira 8-4 Saturday night at Port Perry, in the second game of the All-Ontario Jr. "D" finals, before the largest crowd of the season. Brooklinites dominated the play throughout the game as they out- skated their western rivals and were very sharp around the visitor's net. Gibson, starry centre of the first line, scored the hat trick for the locals while Doug Vipond was always a stumbling block on the defence. M. Jones fired one from the blue line 'at 5:33 to open the scoring for Brooklin and Pascoe added another at 11.21 when he combined -with Tran and Warriner.

Gibson Port Perry * Junior Farmers On Tuesday, March 27, Bill Pollard, of Port Perry, introduced D. D. Dolson, B.S.A,, M.A, répresentative of the CLL. laboratory at Chatham, to the Port Perry Junior Farmers. Mr. Dolson explained that soil con- tains or needs twelve plant nutrients. These nutrients are divided into three classes according to importance, name- ly primary, secondary & minor. Under primary we have nitrogen, phosphorus and potash. When we buy commer- .cial fertilizer we are buying the prim- ary nutrients, Calcium, magnesium _ and sulphur are secondary, and iron, boron, copper, mangenese, zinc and molyledenum are minor. The soil in Ontario counties such as Huron, Norfolk and Kent contains a fairly abundant supply of organic matter; however, Ontario and Huron are very low in phosphorus and On- tario is low in potash. In Ontario, even virgin soil is low in phosphorus. Most farmers know that fertilizer is profitable, however, according to Mr. Dolson it is very profitable if used in- telligently. Just as there are: three r's to be remembered by the pupil in school, there are three p's to be re- membered by the farmer on the farm, namely pounds, proportion and place- ment. That is the soil should receive the correct number of lbs per acre ac- - cording to need in the correct pro- portion and it should be applied where it is needed. i : Every farmer who uses fertilizer should have his soil tested in every field and every different part of the field if the soil differs such as sandy] and gravel areas or heavy clay or light loam'if he is to follow the above three p's of guidance. . Usually the best time to test soil is in the fall because soil weaknesses are most apparent then, however, there are other appropriate times such as testing before seeding down orebefore + planting high cash crops. The soil to be tested must be in a tillable condi- tion, Here are a few pointers about tak- ing a soil sample fram a field, First, take from the plow level for ordinary crops such as wheat and oats; and for a sub-soil test, 10" to a 12" depth for orchard, alfalfa and sweet clover. . Take from as many areas as pos- « sible, atleast one from every acre--be Nure to sample high and low areas and bel correctly. Be sure to mixe the samples thoroughly before placing in the special box which can be procured from your C.I.L. agent. Mr. Fair operated the slide projector for Mr. Dolson who showed us colored pictures of crops such as corn, grain, potatoes and pasture, The contrast between fertilized and unfertilized © crops was quite apparent. The band seeding method of grass planting with fertilizer constitutes a saving because less seed is required to procure a good stand of elgumes and grasses, If 'your corn leaves turn yellow too soon, there probably is a shortage of nitrogen in the soil.

Sees Big Drop In Farm Income Toronto.-- Ontario Liberal Leader, Farquhar Oliver accused the Provin- cial government Monday night of fail- ing to provide for the orderly market- ing of farm produce while agricultural income in the province dropped 50 per cent during the last two years. In a radio address Mr. Oliver said also that farmers, staggering under steadily-increasing costs of necessities, were burdened further with rising costs of education toward which the province was contributing a steadily- dwindling proportion, _ After sales of farm produce had fallen into collapse, he said, the gov- ernment had decided to submit its marketing legislation to the Supieme Court of Conada for rulings as to its legality. In the meantime, farmers were going bankrupt. yo The 'annual meeting of Port Perry] $2.00 per year.
