A football game is very often won a
couple af weeks before it is played.
Supporters of the winning team may
not have anticipated victory, it may
be that the team itself, even with its
knowledge of certairt peculiarities of
opposing players, had not dared to
hape it would Wilt So the headlines
proclahn 'an 'aupset",--aan amazing vic-
tory for the underdog. But it was no
upset at all to a man who sat high in
the stands of a rival college stadium
two weeks before, watching intently
the plays of the -team which was to
meet his. He was a football scout. Of-
ten a scout spots weaknesses so glar-
ing that he can virtually visualize the
whole game his team will 'play against
the team he is alitching, and almost
can cal'l the score, Here's an example;
In '11935, Fordharn had a great team
that was running over everyone.
Georgetown appeared to have very
.little chance against the bruisiag
Fora= attack, an attack carried on
chiefly by two backs—Zev Graham, a
fast, elusive runner, and Tom Mam-
ning, called 'Eight -Yard" Manning
because if he gained less than that
lunging through center he felt that he
had been a failure. The Georgetown
scouta -watched Fordham in early
games with gloomy foreboding. They
might stop the elusive Graham by
spreading out their defense, tby play-
ing the tackles and ends wide. But
what of Manning, who would then
romp through the weakened line for
much more than his usual eight yards?
That is, unless the Georgetown play-
ers knew when Manning was to take
the ball, so that they could close up
their defense.
Suddenly, as he watched Manning,
one of the Georgetown scouts smiled
happily. He had discovered a "give-
away." He knew now how to stop
Manning.
The experts thought Georgetown
hadn't a chance, and it looked that
way when Manning gained his usual
eight yards on the first play of the
game. But he didn't gain another yard
all the afternoon ana. battered and
bruised, had to leave the g -ante in the
third quarter with the score George-
town 37, Fordham 0. The game ended
that .way, and the headlines screamed
"Upset."
The Georgetown scout had noticed
that every time Manning's signal was
called the big fullback unconsciously
hitched one foot hack a few inches in
order to get a quicker start. He never
did this when he was going to run in-
terference or fake. But he invariably
did it when he was going to carry the
ball. So when the Georgetown players
saw Manning's foot drop back, the
ends and tackles moved in; the backs
crept in toward the center and eleven
etercly players kept just one thought
ix their minds: "Get Manning."
Meanwhile, what of Graham? Well,
When Manning didn't make his "give-
away," the defense, confident that this
would be no line plunge, spread out
and watched Graham,
Of course, it works both ways. An-
other season Georgetown lost an im-
portant game because the Navy scouts
were clever, Georgetown was flying
from one victory to another on the
wings of the 'forward passes hurled
by Bobby Nork, who also was clever
at faking, No one cauld tell when he
was going to run or kit*. No one,
that is, taut on•e ilaright-ey•ed Navy
scout, who watched Georgetown play
each Saturday, and filially smiled to
himself, "Well, we'll win that George-
town game anyhow."
Navy did win, ap to 7. The Navy
player's seemed to know just when to
pile in and srnoeher the hapless Monk,
and when to drop ;back to knock down
passes. Nork didn't complete one
single pass nor did he get away for
any appreciable gains.
The scout had noticed that every
time 'Nark was •going to throw a pass
he wet his index finger,
Last season Columbia defeated
Stanford by returning the lball •on
kickoff for it touchdown. That play
wasn't an accident nor a brilliant indi-
vidual feat. Stanfotal's kickoff came to
George Fu-rey, Columbia quarteeback
and blacker, who hadn't carried the
ball a dozeta times in his whole col-
lege career. He was ' standing in the
center of ,th.e field on his own 50 -yard
line. He never 'lookeel to the right or
the left. He just ran straig-ht to the
goal. line 70 yards away. Columbfa
players seemed to oome from nowhere
to block out the Stahford lads., George
didn't have to stiffarm or dodge a
single °Alamo/A.
What- did scouting have to do with
,this Wisill, Cotiluenbia scouts had re-
ported that Stanford kickoffs usually
traveled -seraight down' the field .fast
and low. So the COthumbia boys were
told just what to do, If the kickoff
went down the center, the linemen in
the middle of the .field were to "dou-
ble team" the. Stanford players; that
is, two ,Colurnbia players .were assign-
ed to take one opponent. The Stanford
ends coming down under the kickoff
near the sidelines were to be ignored.
They were 'oat of the play. Each men
thad his assignment just as he ha -,1 en
any offensive play, George Furey'
run in that Stanford game loo•ked to
the spectators like a sudden, spe•ctacet-
lar exploit. Actuality it was a bit of
routine teamwork. Tipped off by their
scouts, the 'Calumbia boys had tried
this play in rac t ice 50 times.
So, when little Doakes College wal-
lops the mighty ;Notre Dame team
and the headlines call it a "terrific up-
set," coaches and scouts smile toler-
antly. They know the insidestory of
the '"giveaway" that enabl•ed Doakes
to stop the Notre Dame attack.
Perennial Weed Control
When the lafestation of perennial
weeds has spread over a large area,
cultural and cropping methods have
to be relied upon for their eradication.
It is advisable; however, to -use sod-
ium chlorate for the eradication of
small patches of perennials.
The latter half of the .growing sea-
son, is it good time to make an attack
on perennial weeds. There is not .quite
the same rush of work then, as in the
spring of the year, and the weather is
usually more favorable for the des-
truction of perennials, particularly of
couch grass. The roots of this weed
are killed by a few days' exposure dur-
ing dry, warm weather and since couh
c
grass is a shallow: -rooted weed, a
few days' ex.posure during dry warm
weather and since couch grass is a
shallow -rooted weed, a large percen-
tage al its roots can be 'brought to
surface by cultivation.
Another advantage in favour of
killing weeds in the latter half of the
growing season, is that it permits the
growth of an early crop such as hay
or oats cut for green feed, before the
treatment commences; or the land
may be used dor pasture during the
thne of the year when pasture is most
productive.
A partial summer -fallow consists of
ploughing in mid -summer followed by
cnhtivation to keep down weed
growth during the remainder of the
growing season. This treatment
should not he commenced later than
Atigust 1, because it takes about
three months of cultivation each time
any top -growth appears to exhaust the
food reserves stored in the roots of
such weeds as perennial sow thistle,
Canada thistle and chicory,
There is, however, considerable va-
riation in the number of cultivations
required to kill ,peretthial Weeds and it
should he remembered that an old
stand of perennial is more difficult to
kill than a young growth of the same
species,
Keeping down. all top growth front
July dB to -the end of the growing sea-
son will greatly reduce the stand of
perennial weeds hut for complete •er-
adication of a persistent weed like
couch grass, this treatment should be
followed up in the next year by a hoed
crop, such as corn or •potatoes,
1The early crop is moving in volume
from Leamington, Harrow, Dundas
and Burlington. Some ,growers in the
Oakville -Clarkson district are also
marketing to a lesser extent. The
quatity is reported good with no rot
in evidence. Size is not so large as in
111937, but the No. I grade is being well
maintained. Yields are lower on 'ac-
count of lack -of sufficient moisture.
Supplies are equal to demand and the
market is firm at $2.00 to the whole-
sale •clealer, The early crop will be
well cleaned up in 1341y.
The acreage planted 'for midseason
marke•ting is equal to average. The
crop is developing well ,btat requires
more moisture and flea ,beetles are
plentiful and 'quite active. This crop
will commence moving to •market
about tha. last wecic in iJuly with elle
yield depending largely on •the supply
of moisture clueing the next two
weeks.
The planting of main crop potatoes
are a little less than in 1937, but were
generally planted earlier. Germination
-was good but growth to date has been

spective yield.
Sanitation for Poultry
Hygiene and sanitation are factors
as important to the ,poultry •flock as
good, stock, -clean water, proper feed
and range. Failure to maintain clean
and sanitary surroundings is frequent-
ly the weak spot in poultry manage-
ment. Cleanliness is essential, as high
mortality and reduced egg produc-
tion follow disease anti impaired vit-
ality. To ensure healthy surroundings
remove droppings daily and scatter an
absorbent such as land plaster aver
the dropping boards. Renew litter 'be-
fore it 'becomes too dirty, and supply
clean water in clean vessels; disease
may spread rapidly through the med-
ium of dirty water or containers.
At least once a year, with -a hoe and
broom, scrape and ,sweep clean the
floors and walls of the poultry 'house,
removing dust and cohwebs and if
ranning water is available use the
hose at high pressure. Paint roost anal
supports with a good coal -tar disin-
fectant, full strength, and spray 'fre-
quently with a solution of the same
product according to the instructions
of the manufacturer. 'The range also
demands its share of precaution. .Gra-
vel or sandy loam provide the hest
sanitary 'conditions and is easily work-
ed with a one•borse plough. All ,range
and yards should 'be ploughed and Ask
cropped yearly and seeded, with a 411P,
quick -growing crop. Sudan grass is
palatable and greatly relished. To
ensure a good supply It is well to cut
Sudan when about six inches thigh be-
fore allowing the birds access to the
yar-ds or range. Ideal sanitary condi-
tions are supplied with a two or three
year range -rotation; a hoed crop inter-
vening in the three year rotation pro-
vides additional protection against pa-
rasites that .flourish in 'contaminated
sail.

Apple Crop Conditions
In Eastern Ontario the weather has
been favourable for the .development
of tree fruits during. the last month.
Apples. are -developing satisfactorily
with present size or better and a vig-
orous foliage in all well -cared -for or-
chards. The fruit is quite free from
apple scab infection in at least 90 per
cent, of the commercial orohards. Leal
roller injury is rather severe in a num-
ber of orchards near Nevacastle and
Bowtnaaville. Codling moth injury is
also quite apparent in orchards Where
this insect has been tronbtesome in
past seasons. The preliminary estim-
ate of total apple production in 'East-
ern !Ontario shows a 21.51 per cent in-
crease over last season,
In Western Ontario weather and
moisture conditions have been faV-
ara'ble during the past month for
good coloring ,anti sizing of apples.
Scab infestation on fruit is Ifairly well
controlled in well -sprayed 'commerc-
ial orchards, and serious side -worm
injury is only apparent in a few local,-
ities. Practically all 'varieties of apples
show a •decrease in estimated produc-
tion except spies, .where a crap 210 per
cent. larger than last year is 'forecast.
