The Brussels Post, 1950-8-23, Page 2When I ran across clews about the latest substitute for eggs, 1 couldn't help thinking of Uncle Eph Palmer, back on the farm in Wellington County in the days of • too long ago. Aunt Hetty had just returned from the village where it Was her custom to trade in butter, eggs and similar truck for store goods and Uncle Eph inquired how much eggs were fetching. * * * "Three dozen for a quarter," Aunt Hetty replied, "and likely (0 go lower they say." "Is that all?" said Uncle Eph, "Heck! That hard- ly Pays for the wear and tear on the poor hens!" * * * Anyway, according to the dis- patch I referred to at the begin- t£ng, over in Norway they've per- fected a chemical process which outproduces one hundred thousand hens to daily transform quantities of codfish waste into synthetic egg white. One pound of the artificial product is said to be equivalent to the albumen contained in 150 hen's eggs. * r According to Chemical and En- gineering News, the synthetic a1-. bumen contains 80 to 90 per cent pure protein and can be used for baking, ice-cream. mayonnaise, and pharmacceutical products, as well as in the textile and paint indus- try. Albumen is also used indus- trially for soap, cosmetics, and Paper, r * One pound of the synthetic prod- uct requires approximately 11 pounds of waste from the Nor- wegian coddfish industry accord- ing to the report. Trial production of more than 600 pounds a day has been started by two Norweg- ian firms. * Production is carried out by a completely chemical - mechanical proess from the time the fish enter the pipe line at one end of the plant until the end product emerges in the form of a dry white pow- der. Norwegian fishermen haul about 1,000,000 tons of fish from The sea each year, of which a large portion is processed into margar- lue and cattle fodder. * * 5 Well, all I have to add in ihat if this sort of thing: continues, pretty soon things will be better s --or worse—than they. were back in Uncle Eph's day, and there won't be any "wear- and tear" •on the hens at all. Maybe there won't even be any hens. Ain't Science wonderful? r * * Recently a group of prominent' Canadian agriculturists and farm editors took a tour through Ver- mont and New Hampshire where, for the past few years, an'extehsi-e grassland improvement program has been in progress, the folks. down there believing that highly produc- tive pastures are all important part of improving and maintaining rural prosperity. While there the Canadians saw prosperous tlairy farms, for ex- ample, with as much as seventy- five per cent of their areas in grass. Many farms were able to maintain a dairy COW on two acres of forage per year. On one faro} for a herd of Guernseys (26 milking) enough forage was obtained front 47 acres of hay and pasture. In most cases excess grass was harvested and preserved as grass silage which was fed in dry weather in summer when pastures were relatively unproduc- tive and during winter tc keep up milk production. * * * The New England farriers use no essentially new ideas or meth- ods to achieve their success. Most of their grasslands are the hay - pasture type which are left in hay and pasture for five years before re -glowing and re -seeding. No seed mixture is standard for the area. One excellent pasture consisted of ladino clover and orchard grass only. * High yields are obtained by other farmers from nixing such grasses as timothy, brotne or orchard grass with legumes such as alfalfa, red of ladino clover, depending on what mixture has been found to be most productive. Good results are ob- tained when legumes are seeded in the fall and grasses during spring, No farms visited used more than 15 pounds of seed per acre. * * * Higley productive pastures were fertilized with as much as 1,000 pounds of fertilizer per acre at the time of seeding. For maintainence during the next five years super- phosphate was applied alone or in mixture with potash or a complete mixture depending on the seed used and needs of the soil as determined by a soil test. After the initial treatment, top -dressing with man- ure or fertiliizer is standard prac- tice each year. * * r The general consensus of the visiting group was that methods used by New England farmers in their grassland program should be carefuly studied and emulated by Canadians who are looking to live- stock as the main source of in- come. .Potential benefits are two- fold: (a) Production of low cost yet highly nutritous feed. (b) A paying soil conservation program—something that is vital- ly needed for Canadian farm lands, • * * :5 All of which sounds not only 'interesting, but mighty sensible and practical as well, and I'nh glad to pass along thes" suggestions to any readers.of this column—and I•hope there are a lot of you—to whom they may be of value.

This is not such a dirty slam at a really fine sport as it night appear at . first sight, bur merely our way of saying that for donkey's years our role in tennis has been strictly that of a spectator; and no sport on earth will give you a crick in the neck as quicky and surely as watching first -grade tennis, unless your observation post is directly. back of one of the base -lines. r * * Not that we Canadians get much chance of taking a swivel at first - grade tennis, the quality of our native game seeming to improve at about the same rate of speed as that of our race -track Thorough-- breds—and if you think that is a complimentary remark, you're wel- come. * 3 * Our Canadian racket -wielders are pretty much outclassed any time they step into top-notch competi- tion, and that's all there is about it; and while it's customary—and easy—to put the blame almost en- tirely on our weather conditions, it's possible that there may be other reasons as well. With so many On- tario communities. either engaged in, or planning, the construction of sports centres,. possibly the fol- lowing, remarks regarding the proper courts to build in order to encourage fast tennis may not be too far off the beam. * . * * It's _no real secret that the. best tennis in the World is played in California, A prominent official out there recently staked that they considered it a poor year when their players didn't win at least seventy-five per cent of their matches in the major national and international tournaments. He wasn't just boasting, either. He was simply stating a fact that's borne out by the records. And it can't all be just sun and balmy weather, because other sections of the -world are blessed with those commodities as well as California—but they still don't have the mass production of Grade A racketeers. * * * Gene Mako, who tennis fans re- call as doubles partner of Don Budge,—and a grand combination they were—believes that the nature of the courts they play on has far more to do with California young- sters' success than the climate. Un- like most other places, young Cal- ifornians are brought up almost ex- clusively on tennis courts of con- crete manufacture. * * * 50 contrast to the surfaces in use throughout the rest of the country, the concrete court gives tennis balls a good, true bounce, One thing this tends to deveop in a player is smoothness and rhythm of stroking. ✓ * r The bounce, too, off concrete is faster than grass or chi- or practi- cally any other surface outside of hardwood. What does this mean? More speed, for one thing. * ,k * The development of the attacking game that is synonymous with success in tennis, for another, "On concrete you learn to hit and come in," Mako explains. You learn to play correctly. Look over the lists of recent years. See if you vein jjnd p clay courts player who cbnsistentty WOl) any of the big tournaments. You know why they haven't? Clay court players are 90 per cent baseliners. Andou just can't win big matches frolic tbif baseline." * * * Mako, who now is a cofstruc- tion engineer and a specialist at cement courts, recently returned to California from a trip East. "Back there and in the Midwest they know nothing about cement construc- tion," he claims. "They do it all wrong: `Whey they do build a ce- ment -court they do it by sections. :k * * "Any one -process pour is super- ior to a two -process," he explained. "That way you get a flat, even sur- face that is free from buckling," In constructing a cement court, bfako likes to have his crew begin pouring at 6;30 in the morning of the appointed day. If all goes well, that phase of the job ought to take no more than four hours. That is, for a court of normal size, say 60 by 1.20 feet. * * * "At noon, just as the cement starts to settle, the hand finishers go to work," Mako explained, "This is the most important part of the operation. A hand -applied rotary finish mustbe put on the court." A delicate process, the work is demanding of an artisan's skill. "Out of 100 hand finishers," Mako said, "maybe you will get three good ones." • * * * Don't go out now and build your- self a backyard cement court simply on the basis of what you have just read. There is a whole lot more to it than that. For instance, things like screening, tapping and leveling with a bull floater, a kind of long - handled blotter, which removes the surface moisture from the freshly poured cement. If the court is to be built in the East, or some- where where frost conditions pre- vail, it will either have to be erected on piers sunk into the ground or laid on an extra -heavy base of crushed and powered rock. r * * Of course, the cement courts are expensive. Say between :);5,000 and $6,000, depending upon the, type and location. After that, though, there is practically no upkeep. The courts don't have to be watered, rolled, sodded or, better than any- thing, mowed, - However, unemployment insur- ance has enabled many 'people to obtain cars who never would have owned them otherwise, After A Canadian Prairie Fire They were fortunate, the woolen who lived near the wide valley of the South Saskatchewan. Its cou- lees broke the monotony of wide horizons. Its bottoms provided hay and grazing for cattle. There was even a little wood, mostly poplar. Test of all there was the river it- self, water flowing in a land of very little water. Somewhere for picnics. Somewhere to go. The wo- man who had lived above the steep banks, not two miles front the stream, and who had n0 way of crossing it, did not know where 1t cattle front nor where it went. Often she wondered. Often, in sum- mer, because the day was too hot and she had not the energy to make her way down to the water's edge and climb up again, she sat on the high riot of the valley and watched the shining, tawny river conning from one bend, disappearing to the northeast around another. Where (lid it go? Had it indeed cut this wide valley? How many millions of years had it taken? Sometimes the thoughts made her feel puny and in- significant, gmficant. $onetime,, they instilled in her a peace which was eternal and satisfying. In the early clays she used to bathe in the river, cau- tiously, because of all she had heard about its dangerous currents and shifting sands, When the children were old enough to go down to the river alone, they never went with-• out the old familiar cautioning to stay behind the sand bar. Prairie fires threatened in Spring and fall. The acrid, sweet smell of turning grass came quickly on the fast wind. Yet after a prairie fire, how quickly and how gloriously the cro- cus bloomed in spring, Somehow wild roses survived. Tiger lilies grew. It is always that way along the Sou.tih Branch. Bad luck. Mis- fortune, Heartbreak.' And then wild flowers that made you want to smile with the sheer joy of ing. You can woo the prairies, too. Patiently, carefully studying the land contours, you may construct a dugout to hold water or throwup-- an earth dant across a coulee. Sun and a fairly stable water supply will do the rest. Vegetables and flowers, huge spikes of showy gla- dioli which make Saskatchewan gladioli the envy of the continent, sweet peas to scent the entire house, petunias and incredible snapdragons, colors that have to be seen to be behoved—they are the highlight of the short, swift -growing season. For the most part, they are the work of white women who came and made the prairie of the South Saskatche- wan home.—From 'The Saskatche- wan," by Marjorie Wilkins Camp- bell. 0 BY HAROLD ARNETT ea (D STORE MORE DISHES IN STEEL WALL CABINET BY PROVIDING HOOKS FOR CUPS... ..Classified Advertising ACCOUNTING Do07U6I.1EPING 10 ACCOUNTING SERVICE Irving N, Simla. 77 1'letoria St..
