In •the last half of the ninth, Bill Craig, batting for Mier, tripled to deep left, but when he hit third he was going so fast he couldn't pull up. In time, and was nabbed off the third sack before he could crawl back. It was a tough one. Schoenhals popped to third and Stock struck out. ' Bombardiers Batting stars were White, with e homer, two triples and a single; Draper, with a homer, a double and two singles; and Weis, with three singles and a walk in six appearances. Although Bob Capel, one of the Owen Sound lads with Durham, had 14 strikeouts to his credit, he walked three and hit one, and was touched for some pretty healthy blows, on occasion.

Mother's Little Helpers Examining the stairway, Mrs. Warren complained to her house- maid, "Mary, these bannisters always seem dusty. I was at Mrs. Acker's today, and I noticed that theirs are as bright and smooth as glass," I don't wonder, ma'am," Mary replied. "What do you mean?" Mrs. Warren demanded. Don't you know, ma'am,?" Mary rejoined. "She has three small boys." Tractor' Competition • Proves' Attraction A new feature of Seaforth Fall Fair Friday, and one.; that attract- ed 18 competitors as well as a crowd wd of speotators, was a trac- tor -driving competition sponsored by Senforth Tractor Club, The club is an organization of farm boys in the Seaforth dist- ,rict, most of 'them students at the high school, who study trac- tor maintenance and repairs, and tractorhandling, es an extra- curricular activity. Clinton Junior Farmers are planning a similar club. On a curving course laid out with the aid of plans, supplied by Ontario Agricultural College, the 18 boys in the competition vied in skill et handling a four - wheeled trailer behind a tractor. Scoring was done both on time and on accuracy of driving. Five minutes was allowed as par for the course, from the time the or- der was given to start up the tractor motor, until the' final backing up operation was' com- pleted.. Every 15 seconds more or less than five minutes meant five marks subtracted from or added to the driver's score. With- in the time allowance, the com- petitor had to move his tractor to the trailer, and hitch up with- out' assistance. -Jim Chapman topped the com- petitors,; with a score of 220, bet- ter than the par of 200. He ne, gotiated the obstacle course with- out a miscue, and completed the course in four minutes flat. John McGavin was second with 210; Merton Keyes and Arthur Bolton tied for third with 205. The new -style competition was observed by T. R. Hilliard, assis- tant director of extension for the Ontario Department of Agricul- ture:. R, Gordon Bennett, agri- cultural representative for Huron, was clerk of the course. 0 Casual Reminder There is a lady operating a boardinghouse down in Alabama who has a simple, silent, but most effective method of collecting money from delinquent boarders. A new arrival at this lady's establishment noticed • at supper that one of the boarders had one fork too many beside his plate, and seemed to be acutely em- barrassed over the circumstance. "Why is he so disturbed over the extra fork?" the new board- er whispered to the gentleman seated beside him. "Oh, that's how the' landlady collects past due board bills," was the laughing explanation. "When she put that extra imple- ment beside a plate it simply means 'fork over'." e AT ANNIVERSARY DUNGANNON — Rev. R. G.

RECORD WHEAT' CROP EXPECTED TO BE SEEDED P'os srbolit record wheat' ' an aJ'eedd at a'r"rcri5 being seeded this fall is seen by the Ontario Department of Agriculture in its monthly crop report issued Tues- day. The report said this was' due to spring crops ripening about two weeks earlier than usual which' gave farmers plenty of opportun- ity to prepare fall wheat land• Also more land was available due to the plowing up of new seed- lings of hay and clover crops badly affected by summer drought. With the exception of ' Buck- wheat, and also some late oats in Northern Ontario, the main grain crops now are harvested. Both quality and yield per acre are reported somewhat better than anticipated from earlier weather conditions, but production fell off from last ygar, the .report said. An outbrlek of army worms' caused grain' crop loss running as highr as 20 e• cent tin some - dist- rids of Northern Ontario, and a lesser amount of damage in Hu- ron, Grey, Dufferin, North Sim coe, Hastings and' Dundas coun- ties. Total production of 'the four principal spring grain crops,. spring wheat, oats, mixed grains' and barley, now is placed at 123,058,500 bushels against 133,- 339,000 bushels a year ago. Total acreage was 3,584,300 acres com- pared with 3,209,900 acres . last year. The average yield per acre of spring wheat this year drop- ped to 18 bushels "from 22 in 1948. Hay and clover crops suffered most from unfavorable weather, the total output of both being on a 4,745,800 tons against 7,573,000 tons last year and a ten-year av— erage of 6,949,000 tons.
