'WlURONS AGAIN
BEAT KINCARDINE
PAGE SEVEN
-Although Out-hit, Locals Win Hand
ily, 5 - 2.
One big 5-run inning proved en
ough to allow the Wingham ball team
to defeat the Kincardine club at the
Lakeside town last Wednesday,
game turned into a tidy pitchers’
tie, especially as compared to the
Kincardine at Wingham games
the Hurons had to make four hits suf
fice while winning 5-2. The home
•club collected six off Hal. Peterson,
but outside of one shaky inning Pete
had the opposition on his hip all af
ternoon- and had little trouble in scat
tering the six hits, all singles, as were
the Braves’ base-knocks. Pete fanned
eleven during the day and gave no
free transportation of any kind. Tom-
• my Pollard pitched very good ball
“too, striking out nine, while dealing
put two walks and hitting Bill Lediet
on the elbow. .
A large crowd for the Lake-town
(must have been more than fifty peo
ple) journeyed down to Hell's Ten
Acres, most of whom were Wing-
' hamites there for a picnic. They saw
a fairly interesting game which went
off at a pretty fast clip for Bruce
H League tilts. The home-club scored
first, opening the scoring with one in
"the second. After Carl Cox had roll
ed out to start the inning Harry
Thompson dropped a single in short
■right. Edmiston sacrificed to put his
manager on second from where he
scored on Graham’s single to right.
Peterson cut off Gray’s toss to the
/Relate and caught Graham going into
^^cond, but not before Thompson had
• scored.
The Braves won the game in the
•fifth, scoring all their five runs in this
frame. Doran got. on in a freak way
'when, as he was ducking an inside
pitch the ball struck his bat and roll-
■ -ed slowly down the first-base line.
'Graham was a? little over-anxious and
lacked the ball around long enough,
: to let Dick reach first safely on the
, -error. Gray got his second hit of the.
■day, a single to centre. Somers bunt
ed and Pollard, fielding the ball, elect-
; ed to try for the play at third, Doran
t beating the throw to fill the bases.
[ Lediet took one of Pollard’s fast balls
on his arm to force in the tying run.
Hl Gummings then smashed one through
M short, the latter ducking to save his
m head and Gray and Somers scored.
W Small hit one similar to Doran but
ml Pollard- tossed him out, Lediet and
K I>oran moving up. Bill scored while
! Parker was throwing out Peterson,
■ taking his time about it as he thought
, there were two out. Cummings scor
ed the final run when Pollard cut
loose a wild-pitch. Rae dropped a
fly-ball ’ in right for a single as
Thompson stood, watching Edmiston
galloping over for it. Mellor struck
out to end the bee.
, Kincardine gave the Tribe some
' anxious moments in the same inning
t>ut the Braves escaped with only one
' run. Small let H. Thompson’s roller
• go through him and Lediet heaved
: Edmiston’s bunt away to put men on
second and third in short order. Gra
ft' ham singled just over third to score
I Thompson and move Graham up. Pol-
I lard bunted and filled the bases when
I Peterson and Cummings failed to

L^tfises full and none out, Pete got Rig-
■ gin on a pop-fly to right and then
Struck out Parker and Morgan to end
• all scoring for the day. It sure was
a great bit of pitching.

Hulless oats are rather tough to

sometimes a problem.
Feeding trials at Beaverlodge years-:
ago indicated that when hulless oats
constituted a large percentage of the;
grain ration for pigs and poultry
there was a pronounced tendency to
overfatness, but this does not apply
to a few weeks use for the weanlings.

“RASPBERRIES”
/ ■
Anjiabelle, the original old grey
mari? suddenly took it upon herself to
g9‘ on a one-horse strike last night.
'J-he result was that she nosed her
way through a weak spot in the rail
(fence, strode high-handedly across the
'back of Neighbour Higgins’ place and
finally wound up'in the wild hundred.
That calls for some explaining, I
guess, because everybody calls‘the old
Fcndlay place the wild hundred. The
last one of them left the place about
twenty years ago and went to work
in the city. He never paid the taxes
and so the township seized it. They
sold it to Joe Erwin and he took the
timber off of it and let it fall back
on the township’s hands again. Since
that time it’s been growing .up in lit
tle trees and shrubs. But for some
strange reason or other it-’s got the
best berry patch in the whole town
ship.
I found old Annabelle enjoying her-
self down at the edge of the swale.
She had her filing and was quite will
ing to go back. I wandered over into
the berry patch, and although the ber
ries have been very poor this year
there were several nice
there.
After filling my hat
good portion myself, I

maple .and began thinking about

Or it may be that they are think
ing about a sealer of preserved ber
ries along about January next year
... or a berry pie just fresh from the
oven and tantalizing to the taste.
When you have a patch of tame
raspberries all you have to do is go
out and pick them when they’re ripe.
When you want wild ones, you have
to walk through fields, get burrs in
your clothes, weed seeds in your
boots, get scratched by prickles,
crawl through fences . . . and so on.
But you don’t seem to mind. There’s
a pleasant taste to the fruit, and I’ve
often wondered whether it’s only im
agination or not.
It was warm in that berry patch
and I could hear voices droning over
farther on the hill. Pails clinked as
branches hit them and berry pickers
started raiding the bushes. Insects
were buzzing around and an -occasion
al bee swept in and around-, evidently
looking for extra flavor for honey.
'Cow bells clanked over in a neigh
bouring pasture. The noises started
getting lesser and lesser and I made
a weaker attempt each time to keep
the flies from using my nose as a
landing field. Then Ldozed off.
I woke up feeling like Rip Van
Winkle. The berries had spilled out
of my hat and there was Annabelle
cropping grass as calm as you please.
The sun had bobbed in behind a cloud
and h\cool breeze was coming up
from the swale. There was a stiffness
and an ache in all my protesting mus
cles as I stretched up from the grass.
Then nursing the berries that I
scooped back into the hat I went
back driving Annabelle. The berries
would serve to square me with Mrs.
Phil, who would more than likely be
provoked on a day when I was sup
posed to bug the potatoes.
The poor berries! I tripped over a
rail in the south pasture and the,ber
ries flew in all directions. By the
time I picked them up they had been
reduced to half the amount with a
liberal packing of weeds and dirt.

The Tobac’co Crop
Weather conditions during the
month were very favorable for the es
tablishments and early growth of the
tobacco crop except for some wind
damage on the lighter and poorly pro
tected flue-cured fields in the Norfolk
area. Approximately 5,000 acres of
flue-cured tobacco were blown out by
high winds in the Norfolk district and
about 5,000 additional acres were
damaged to some extent. These
blown-out areas were practically all
replanted but the reset tobacco start
ed rather slowly due to dry soil at the
time. As a result some of the fields
in the Norfolk district appear rather
patchy.
The tobacco crop, as a whole, got
a very good start and growth in the
majority of fields has been particular
ly rapid. A large proportion of the
crop will be harvested early this year.
Some flue-cured tobacco has nearly
reached the topping stage and prim
ing will commence about the middle
of July.
While planted acreage of all types
is somewhat lower than the allotted
acreage, the total acreage will be con
siderably greater than in 1937. No
accurate figures are yet available on
the actual acreage planted, but it is
estimated at approximately 70,000 ac
res as compared with some 58,000 ac
res in 1937.
Damage from insects and diseases
in the crop is practically normal to
date. While cut worm damage was
below average this year, the injury
caused by wire-worms was slightly
more than usual. Root-rot diseases
'have occurred in many fields but the
loss to
1937.
tario at present are estimated as fol
lows: Apples, slightly below average
to average; sweet cherries, almost av
erage; sour cherries, below average;
Bartlett pears, below average; Keiff-
er pears, average; peaches, average;
plums, below average; grapes, aver
age.
Hulless Oats for Weanling Pigs
Young pigs have high efficiency for
the conversion of nourishing food in
to weight increase but low efficiency
for the utilization of fibre. Except
for this latter fact, ordinary oats
would be a suitable grain, but the
hulls dilute the food too much, and,
unless very finely ground or else
coarse enough to be rejected through
mastication, they irritate and clog
the digestive tract. It is often advis-'
ed to screen oat chop for weanling
pigs but this is a laborious task fre
quently neglected.
Unless mechanical means can be 1
found to dehull ordinary oats, the
simpler way is to grow a variety that
threshes free of the hull. Years ago
the late Sir (then -Dr.) Chas. E.'
Saunders bred two such varieties, Lib
erty and Laurel, for the express pur-

average, according to reports received
from representatives in all parts of
the Province. Fall wheat has ripened
rapidly and harvesting has commenc
ed in many districts, with prospects
favourable for an above normal yield.
In Kent and Lambton counties, an
average yield of 28 to 30 bushels per
acre is expected. Last year the yield
for Ontario was 24.5 bushels.
Barley and early varieties of oats
are now in and are reported as aver
age to above average in condition,
with the exception of several counties
in Central Ontario where crops have
suffered from lack of moisture. Crops
are about four to seven -days in ad
vance as usual. In Northern Ontario
the precipitatidn during-June was fair
ly plentiful with the result that all
crops have made very satisfactory
growth, and prospects are quite fav
ourable. .
Cutting of hay, clover and alfalfa
has been about completed in West
ern Ontario and is nearing comple
tion in East Ontario, The yield is re
ported to range from only medium to
average, and the feeding value will be
much higher than last year. Itt Nor
thern Ontario growth of hay was
rapid during June and production is
expected to exceed that of 1937.
In Western Ontario growth and
development of tree fruits, grapes and
raspberries .has been good, but hot,
dry weather adversely affected straw
berry production itt many areas. Sour
cherries suffered from a heavy June
drop of fruit and yellowing of foliage.
Some scab Infestation is showing on
apple foliage and fruit in most dis
