Applied intel­ ligence is rapidly replacing sheer muscular endeavour. Weed control .because of existing conditions and because of the toll taken during the past fifteen years must become an integral part of the regular Harm 'programme lest the returns per acre prove so small that it will be profitable no longer tivate thousands of the most acres in the Province. Atter-harvest cultivations of the surest methods of controlling weeds because the summer heat will assist. The extent that this practice should be followed will depend up­ on the amount of hoe-crop which may be grown. The plants weakest when the seed is ripened; for destructive purposs the attack should be made, if possible, immed­ iately previous in order to prevent ripening of the current year’s seed as well as fighting a weakened root.

If growth commences weekly culti­ vation must be resorted to in order that growth may .be ‘prevented. Smothering will then take place, or in other words, the plant will be deprived of food. Gathering and hauling Twitch off the land is too expensive. Deep ploughing is ef­ fective against Twitch—the. roots are buried so deeply that only the stronger ones are able to reach the surface and unless allowed to de- veloii leaves will not send out creep­ ing rootstlks under the surface. Work put upon the land to con­ trol weeds is f value in that the soil is in better condition for the suc­ ceeding crop. For Fall Wheat, early cultivation provides a fine, firm seed bed which is required. Where- ever summer cultivation is not fol­ lowed, the weeds though cut at har­ vest time recuperate and seed that season or store for a renewed attack and following season.

Two trict Championship Staged Before Record Crowd at Fullarton—Mt. l’leasiwt Wins From Staffa in Close Contest and Then Loses Out in Extra Innings With Motherwell. A highly successful season in the South Perth Ball League was brought to a memorable close at Fullarton Village on Wednesday of last week when before ’a crowd of a thousand people the three league leaders batt­ led in a double-header for the cham­ pionship. Good, 'dean baseball was played, the issue of both games were always in doubt and certainly the fans got a big money’s worth, first game Staffa and Mt. staged a neck and neck The former nine led until In the Pleasant struggle, the fourth innings, when Mt, Pleas­ ant evened the score and in the next two frames gained a slight advantage which they held to the end. The fin­ al figure was Mt. Pleasant 9, Staffa 6. L MEXICO ■O ......................................................... ....................................... ARIS COM M. G LONDO1 race the Duke Gen. Sir Arth G.C.M.G., K. EXECUTIVE COM Big Sammy Shier, who had pitched good ball for the winners .in the first game, had a full time job. He went in again in the second and continued the same brand for seven innings, when he took a rest, hut only for a few minutes, for Motherwell landed on the substitute pitcher for five runs, and Sammy was stuck in again, but it was too late. Both teams played good ball. The rough condi­ tion of the outfield accounted for an occasional raggedness in the play. Billy Nairn’s 'boys played a good steady game, the kind that made Motherwell famous back in the pio­ neer days of base’ball in this district. After Motherwell seemed to have the game on ice, Mt. Pleasant staged a come-back in the ninth, and with a bit of hard hitting tied the score, Il­ li. The extra inning brought an additional run for Motherwell, 12- 11. McKenzie’s hitting as a feature of the game. He hit out a long dis­ tance swat which was the longest hit seen on the grounds in many a day. It was the only home run of the day. K. Roger pitched a steady consisent game for the winners. The Motherwell batting list was as follows: Roger 2b; Nairn lb; Berry ss;. Morrison c; K. Roger p; McKen­ zie If; Murray cf;.

The presentation of the champion­ ship trophy immediately followed, the game. Before calling upon F. G. Sanderson, M.P., to perform the honors, President Stewart paid a tri­ bute to the winning team. He said that never in the history of the lea­ gue had any complaint ever come from the Motherwell team. He be­ lieved the South Perth League had as fine a bunch of boys as was to be found in any county in Canada. In presenting the cup to President Nairn of the Motherwll team, F. G. Sanderson, M.P. referred to the fine record of the nine, in losing only one game played this year. They had also won the trophy last year. Moth­ erwell was noted for nianv things, among them baseball. And in by­ gone days its reputation for good baseball -ad extended throughout the Province. Mt. Pleasant had al­ so played two good games of base­ ball during the afternoon had done well. Staffa had also put up a good fight.
