c ESS TO 2 Americans place in Czech tourney By ROES 'WILLIAMS Czechoslovakian Grand - Master Vlast mii Hort wen the Hastings Premier Tour- nament against a 16 -player field representin&nine coun- tries and including six grand- masters and four internation- al masters. Grandmaster Pal Benko represented the United States along with 17 -year-old Mark Diesen. Benko finished in a tie for ninth and 10th place; Diesen finished 15th. The main feature of the Hastings Congress is the Pre- mier Tournament with lead- ing players from different countries competing by invi- tation. Several subsidiary tournaments are held concur- rently. The most important of these is the Reserve Tourna- ment for young players. Mark Diesen won the right to compete in this year's Pre- mier by winning last year's Reserve. . On an international level, the Congress has been held under varying auspices each year, with the exception of the war years, from 1921 to the present. Hort was the highest rated player at Hastings. He has an international rating of 2,600 and ranks among the top 18 players in the world. In the U.S. Open in New York, Aug. 11-23, 1974, Hort finished in a tie for first place with Pal Benko. 111 Benko has an international rating of 2,515. He finished in. a tie with Grandmaster Larry. Evans for second and third place behind Walter Browne in the U.S. Championship in Chicago, July 12 -Aug. 1, 1974. At Hastings, Benko is the soul of consistency. In last year's Premier, he finished in a tie for eighth and ninth place with seven and one-half points. This year he tied for ninth and 1sh with seven points. Mark Diesen's 15th place fnish can be considered a worthy achievement. Diesen's international rating is 2,295 which -places hire; be- tween 220 and 305 points un- der the grandmasters in the event. He • drew against two grandmasters and one inter- national master. Gaulle of the Week: Burt Hochburg, editor of Chess Life and Review, reported in the November, 1974 issue that after the New York U.S. Open Hort had complained that the tournament's Swiss System had allowed Benko to share first prize with Hort when in reality Hort should be de- clared the winner because Hort had played the stronger opponents. There was no tiebreaking in the event, so the results stood with Hort and Benko cocham- pions. When the two players met in the tournament, how- ever, Hort won. Pal Benko annotated this game in the December, 1974, Chess Life and Review. U.S. Open -1974 New York Berko Gambit V. Hort 1. P -Q4 2. P-QB4 3. P -Q5 4. PxP 5. PxP 6. N-QB3 7. N -B3 8. P-KN3 9.

Twelve young Grey Seals which had been aban- doned by their mothers were re- cently retrieved off the ice flows in the Gulf of St. Lawrence to arrive in time for Easter. Seals have become most controversial and the (Subject of passionate arguments in recent years. On one hand the seal has been damned as a criminal crea- ture, the slayer of salmon and the ruination of the fisherman's livelihood. On the oth and, it is defended by cbnse ionists, es- pecially since Government permitted the se ective killing of the species for its pelts and meat. For many years seals have been hunted causing a terrific reduc- tion in their Lumbers. Seal pups Drop in temperature Canada has seen the last of sunny summer days with tem- peratures of 90 degrees in the shade. From now on, a hot day will be somewhere between 25 and 35 degrees. The reason for this sudden drop in temperature is the conversion from Fahrenheit temperatures to the Celsius scale. The official changeover came on April 1. On that day, the radio and television weathermen and the newspapers stopped giving the familiar Fahrenheit tempera- tures and now tell the Canadian public how hot (or cold) it f,,hiR degrees Celsius. -. ,The"5witch could come as a bit of a jolt. For instance, a chilly - sounding 10 degrees C corres- ponds to a balmy spring day with a temperature of 50 degrees F. + • Many people will also be left with Fahrenheit thermometers which no longer relate directly to the weather forecasts from the media. However, these therino- meters need not be discarded. They are easily converted to the Celsius scale and the process for changing them serves as a good explanation for how to think in degrees Celsius. To update an old thermometer, cover one side of the scale, lengthwise, with a small strip of masking tape. The starting point for conver- sion is 32 degrees F, the freezing 1Crossroads1 Published every Wednesday as the big, action cross-coiintry section in The Listowel Banner, The Wingham Advance -Times and The Mount Forest Confederate.

On the Celsius scale, the corresponding tem- perature is 0 degrees C. So opposite 32 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale, mark 0 on the masking tape to begin your new Celsius scale. Thenaw lines Qn the tape at 18 degree intervals cis the Fahrenheit scale, both up aMr down from 32 degrees F. Each of these new marks cor- responds to 10 degrees on the Cel- sius scale. Now try a bit of cross- checking and you find that 50 de- grees F is 10 degrees C. Adding another 18 degrees Fahrenheit, you'll see that 68 degrees F is the same as 20 degrees C. The equi- valent of) 86 degrees F is 30 de- grees C and 104 degrees F is 40 degrees C. Working down the thermo- meter from the freezing point, 14. degrees F is -10 degrees C; -4 degrees F is -20 degrees C; -22 degrees F is -30 degrees C and at 40 below it's the same on both scale . Anc, for farmers, Agriculture Canada has a few pointers on new Celsius temperatures of note: -soil temperature for seeding should be between 4 degrees C and '10 degrees C; -the maximum air tempera- ture for applying chemicals to crops or soil is 27 degrees C; -the optimum •temperatures for rapid crop growth are be- tween 15 degrees C and 30 de- grees C. were the most frequent victims, especially the youngest that had not yet taken to the water and which were killed -with clubs.

Joe Barnard, Chatham plant manager, gave the results .of a detailed study of the comparative yields which may be expected from No. 1 and 2 seeds this year and his conclusion was that the use of No. 2 seed may prove to be a good investment if the proper planting ratios and recommend- ed use of fertilizers and weed killers is followed. He said, "There will be some real bar- gains in No. 2 seed." The featured speaker of the day was Robert Christensen of the DeKalb experimental farms at Dayton, Iowa. He referred to the high cost of the "inputs" neces- sary to produce a profitable corn yield, which, he said, will run to as much as $2.00 for every bushel harvested. Careful management of production costs, therefore, is exceedingly important. To achieve the best economies he recommended: Early planting -Recommend- ed time is 10 days to two weeks before the average date of the last killing frost in the grower's area. The speaker also warned that plantings should not be too deep and he added that seed depth- can be accurately con- trolled • with today's equipment. Another factor in the planting date is that it will control the silking and tasseling time for the corn, to bring this stage into the best weather for good results. He strongly urged accurate soil tests to determine precisely what formulations a're best suited in the fertilizer 'applied, since ferti- lizer has become a very expen- sive commodity. Soil tests, too, should control the type of herbi- cide applied to the field. Proper level of plant population was stressed, since the final H. GORDON GREEN Dr. gKissinger, say the Wasi- ingten newsmen, doesn't swing the big stick that he used to. He has had . a -most remarkable grip on U.S. foreign policy these past two or three years. He has indeed given the Americans strong lead- ership at a time when firm lead- ership was a rarity, but it seems that his leadership is now on the wane. Is it the man himself who is at fault then? • Roger Morris was an assistant to Kissinger a few years ago and he thinks not. "The trouble is," he says, "that the crisis the world faces today is one that can no longer be solved by diplomacy. The forces threatening interna- tional disaster can no longer be thwarted by alignment of powers or military threat or detente. The threatening forces now are much more basic. And most urgent of these is the food crisis. No amount of diplomacy, even diplo- macy as shrewd and as patient as Dr. Kissinger's, will ever relieve the fact that starvation and malnutrition ' stalks half of to- day's world." And we in Canada who are sup- posed to be ready, willing and able to help supply those terribly needed calories must have a spe- cial interest in that remark. As I see it, we who are Canadian farmers are ready and willing, but we simply aren't able to help. Our job is to produce food. For many of us it is almost instinctive for us to produce. That is the life we were born to, and the only life that seems right for us. But it has now become economically im- possible to carry on with the job as we would like.

For every steer I send to market, I must lose something like $100, and the farm economists see no break in the gloom for many months to • come. • All right, you say, why not get out of beef? It is too expensive a food anyhow and the land it takes • to support your herd should be growing cereal grains or vege- tables. Good point. The .. land which is needed to add a pound of beef to a steer would grow 20 pounds of vegetable or cereal protein, most of Which would be directly or indirectly edible by humans. Think that bit of mathematics over- for -minute and you'll see why som of our social scientists are tells g us that our cows 'eat' humans. But suppose I get rid of my cattle and I dedicate my 350 acres to the growing of crops. What crop would you suggest? What crop could I afford to)grow today, with the price of implements, fertilizer and labor to subtract . from the piddling prices I'll likely get from the harvest? The potato growers lost almost as much as the beef men last year, and the greater their investment the greater their loss. So what does it all mean? It means that we who own the fertile acres still remaining in this mad world, we who should be able to supplant diplomacy as the world's best insurance against revolution, must continue to Rro- duce a mere fraction of our potential and for little more re- ward than the fun of it. Too much milk can harm cat's bladder By H. P. JANS Q. My wife and I are at a loss about what to do about our cat. We found him in July sick, skinny, and obviously mistreated. The vet said he was about three months old. 011r problem is that about once every two or three weeks he urinates on the floor, or couch, or a chair and we don't seem to be able to stop it. We've tried getting him a sep-.w arate litter box and punishing him but neither has worked. As near as we can figure he usually does it between 5:45 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. This is when he usually gets up and starts running around the house. A. Your cat may be the vic- tim of some kind of bladder disorder caused by a virus, bacteria, improper diet, not drinking enough water or per- haps drinking too much milk. My advice would be to watch your cat's habits very closely for any unusual behavior such as frequent urination, small quantities; squatting or straining without passage of urine; blood in the urine; smell of ammonia in the urine; listlessness; poor ap- petite and -or e,:cessitc thirst. A veterinarian can probably treat your cat successfully, if he is consulted at this early stage.
