Ontario Deputy Minister of shown above during a recent visit to Eastern Ontario inspect- ing a silver iodide generator used in ground seeding rain clouds. The generators were installed af" key points in eastern Ontario by Irving P. Krick Associates LL. TAR AY. 250 ry Agriculture, Everett Biggs, is of Canada Ltd. to .stimulate Crop Conditions Improved After Recent Rain Falls Ontario Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Everett Biggs, re- ports considerable improvement in crop conditions in Eastern Ontario within the last two or three weeks. Mr. Biggs made the statement on his return from a personal visit to the Ot. tawa Valley. "While most farmers will de- finitely" be very short of hay, compared with other years, the rain received lately will improve | the corn, the fall pastures and | the emergency fall pastures just planted. This will help to fill the coarse grain, just shooting out in head", reported the De- puty Minister. However Mr. | Biggs was shocked at the very poor pasture conditions which existed on many farms, and the | critical feeding conditions that faced many farmers. Eastern Ontario and parts of Quebec, which have been experi- encing severe drought condi- tions for at least three consecu- tive years, got some relief re- cently of rainfall in most dist ricts. This was their first since the snow left. Normally, the melting of their heavy snow- falls adds greatly to their soil moisture, but this spring, the ground being frozen much more than usual, along with the heavy six inches of ice that covered the fields for three months, a run-off of most of this much needed moisture re-. sulted. In turn, this prolonged | heavy ice, winter-killed any al- falfa that was left with any top growth last fall. Surprisingly | enough, farmers who had clip- | Ottawa Valley. Also, the Canada Department of Agriculture, on the recom- mendation of the Ontario and Quebec Departments, has offer- ed additional assistance in two ways. First, to give immediate help, eight Prairie Farm Re- habilitation Administration ir- rigation crews were brought in from Saskatchewan to irrigate farm land for farmers at a cost of $4.50 per inch per acre. This normally costs about $17:00 per inch per acre. Secondly, they brought in hybrid Sorgum-Sud- an grass seed from the United States. This is also being of- fered to farmers at much redue- ed prices. . . . 22¢c. per lb. Most of this seed has already been | planted and should produce good quantities of fall pasture. "We are very [pleased to see the farmer response to these emergency measures," said Mr, Biggs, "and hope that agricul- tural conditions will continue to improve in this part of Canada." NO EXPANSION IN RAIL SERVICE PETE®BOROUGH -- Rumor ed expansion of the three-times- a-day Dayliner service between Peterborough and Toronto has! been flatly denied by an official of Canadian Pacific Railway.

Pee Wee's have won the Consolation Trophy at the North York Pee Wee Tour- nament for the second straight year. On Sat. they defeated | East Toronto Optimists Club 1 to 2 in the final game. In the first game they were defeated by Sarnia 7 to 3 after | having a lead of 3 to 0. Kon | Irvine started this game for the Hope's team but ran into troub- | le in the fourth and fifth inn- ings and had to have help from Jody Williams and then Ron Phinney came in to help out as errors & lady luck put the Port boys in a bad spot. Jody Wil- liams carried the big bat for the Hope's boys with a home - run blow with two on base to drive in all three runs. In the second game Hope's de- feated East Gwilliambury 16 to 3. Ken Irvine started this game and pitched well allowing only a few scattered hits and Laurie Williams took over in the fourth inning and also pitched fine ball. Jim Moore had two home runs for the Hope's boys as the team hit well and often, In the third game the local boys met Royal York Gardens of Etobicoke and came out with a 6 to 0 win. The same pitching combination was used heré as Ken Irvine pitched the first four innings then Laurie Wil- liams came on to finish up. The Port runs came on some good base running and they had some help with poor throwing by the Etobicoke catcher. Jody Williams led the Port Perry boys at the plate. In the final game the Hope's boys struck early and never looked back as they defeated East Toronto 7 to 2 to win the consolation trophy. Ken Irvine pitched fine ball to go all the way to win his 8rd game. He got fine support from his team mates as they fielded well to get out of several tough - PORT PERRY STAR, Thursday, August 12, 1965-5 spots. Once again it was the big bat of Jody Williams that led the Port boys; Dean Beare also had a good game at the plate. Capt. Jody Williams accepted the Trophy, championship crests and pennants on behalf of the team. Coaches Don Cochrane and Don Gray; Manager Joe Fowler and the boys are to be congratulated for a fine effort which has brought more honor to our town, the local associa- tion and the sponsor Mr. Jack Hope. $6 MILLION IN 5 MONTHS British European Airways' new Trident fleet covered more than a million miles and earned more than $6 million during the first five months of operation. 9} AT YOUR CARLOAD FOOD MARKE T.

The Ontario Department of Agriculture, in an effort to bring general relief to these dried-out areas of eastern Ont- ario, brought in rain-making equipment during the last week of June. Since that time, rain has fallen in most districts. This may have been coincidental with atmospheric conditions, but the fact still remains, for a com- paratively small outlay of $80,- 200 (contrary to the erroneous report of $200,000), the expen- diture has been more than jus- tified if only one extra inch of rainfall landed on that part of the province. In any case, rain has come, and at the time of writing it's' raining again in the of transport commissioners di- rected that service be maintain- ed pending a public hearing. No date has been set for the hearing. At the time the cancellation notice was given, a railway of- ficial attributed the unprofit- able operation to teh increasing use of cars. "More people . . . are just not available for traffic on our RDC cars (rail-diesel cars,)" : : Mr. Crate said there is no substance to reports that pas- senger traffic on the Dayliner had picked up since the contro- versey arose.
