Wins 8250 -CBC Drama Prize
. ,Names of the winning .authors and
plays in the notion -wide CBC drama
contest were announced May 1. First
prize of i$2150 was captured by ''Noel
Watts of Victoria, B.C., for his imag!
ittati•ve 'half -'hour ;play, 'Slang the
Poets at Dawn." Marjorie Jordan of
.B'ranbford, won ;second .prizie of $1150
foe "The Doctor's Wife," a story of
character !transition during a forest
fire. "White Acacias" by E. G. Arahi
bald, of Timmins, ,gained the ' $100
award. for 'third place. This play pre-
sents the life story of an immigrant
from Europe and tells how the years
moulded. hiin into sturdy Canadian-
ism. Fourth plriae of $50 was award-
ed to Mary Turner 'and 'Charles Car-
ruthers, of London, Ontario, -for the
drama "Some Must 'Watch", con-
cerning an incident in ''Upper Canada.
The Canadian 'Broadca's'ting Corp-
oration has indicated that the most
.serious obstacle to its production of
radio drama to date has been the
dearth of suita'ble and original radio
plays available. Whereas other fields
of literary endeavor receive se ade-
quate response, radio, as yet, is still
not considered a sui'ta'ble field by
many writers. It is because of this,
Coupled with the idea of encouraging
the works of promising Canadian au-
thors, that the recent CBC drama
contest was inspired. The awards for
the contest have recently been an-
nounced. In a recent network address,
Rupert Lucas, senior .producer in
charge of drama, defined -the CBC
policy in regard to Canadian authors
as follows: "The CBC is in the mar=
ket at all times for original plays, ;par-
ticularly of half -'hour 'length. 'You are
invited to :send plays at any time to
the Drama Department, CBC, Tor-
onto. Your manuscripts will be care-
fully considered 'by our play reading
board, I ,promise you. We are anxious
to receive plays from all parts of Can-
ada, and to buy and use those which
are suited to our requirements for the
air. If you' have an idea for a mew ser-
ies we shall be ,pleased to hear from
you, but in such case kindly send
along at least one sample script with
the idea. This gives a fair chance to
visualize and weigh the proposal. Our
play reading (board is not composed; of
ogre,, by any means. They are de-
lighted and happy when a manuscript
is submitted which is suitable to our
purposes."
"How long did it Rake you to
learn to drive a 'motorcar "
"Oh, three or four."
'Weeks?"

Who Named Mildmay?
A writer recently gave the origin
of the names of the various munici-
palities in the 'County of Bruce, but
was unable to say how Mildmay got
its name, other than it was formerly
called Mernersville, •This village, it is
said, was called after a park in Eng-
land. From another 'source, we ,learn
that in .May 111d73, a 'traveller coming
dawn on the train ,from Walkerton,
stepped off at the station, and remark=
-ed. that it was a beautifully •"Mild

Seeding of Vegetable Garden
(Experimental Farms News)
Many attribute failure of seeds to
germinate to poor seed. While it is
true many seeds do ,fail to germinate,
it is not always the fault of .the seed,
but 'too often ,the fault of the sower
-by sowing too deep or not deep
enough, 'states IT. Gallaher, Head Gar-
dener, Exp. Station, 'Kentviile, N.S.
Preparation of the seed 'bed or rows
is .very important, having a bearing
on the germination of seed.
Assu'm'ing 'the land is ready for
seed sowing, having been !ploughed
and cultivated '(or .clu'g up with the
spade, forked over, and raked off) un-
less this lose ground .has 'been made
firrn by treading (or leveller in case
of larger area) the seed will be liable
to rot in this loose ground following
rains and cool weather at this time of
year. A .garden. that is ready for seed
sowing or planting should be in a
cgndibion 'titalt one can walk over it
and not sink to the ankles in soft
ground. Seed for any 'p'ur'pose should
b'e sown in .rows, whether in the open
or in 'flats in .house •or'hotbed.
A .garden (line is necessary to keep
the rows straight, and should be
taut, not loose. A marker Should be
used. Th -is could 'he a 2- 'by 1, -inch
stick, six to eight feet long, with a,
notch % inch deep on the 1 -inch side,
at one end and a notch one inch deep
on the same side at the other end.
Place the notch over the line and
push the stick along the line, which
will leave a drill for sowing. The %-
inch notch should be used for small
seeds, and the other end for larger
seeds such, as peas, beans, etc. If a
shallow 'drll is required, do not bear
down on the marker: i;f a deep drill is
required, bear down heavily on the
marker. 'Remove fhe line to next row
and so on until rows are all ,reach' for
sowing. The rows should be spaced
the distance apart required for hand
or horse cultivation, whichever meth-
od is used for 'cultivating and keeping
the weeds 'down.
There are many devices advertised
for sowing seeds, but for the average

person, when there is not •a large ,area
to sow, the package the seed i5 in is
as good '(sometimes better) than any
device on the market. Open. end of
package, bend the sides asp so the
package will .be concave, .and with a
gentle quivering of the hand She seed
will come ottt thinly.
To cover the seed, taken an iron
rake with teeth 'uppermost and draw
it along the drill. This will give en-
ough covering, then take the ,rake by
the 'handle (head down) and beat the
surface of drill, staking the soil firm
around the 'seed.
The benefit of fairly firm soil is
that when seeds have germinated and
roots commence 'to form they prefer
this environment, rather than loose
open soil where the tendency is for
this loose open soil to dry out if
drought sets in.
As to the -proper depth for the
various kinds of seed to be sown, a
good plan is to sow all seeds about
three times their own depot.
Might Not Want Them
While the suggestion may be vari-
ously made that transients should
turn toward farm worlc with the
coming of spring, we are not at alt'
certain the farmers are keen on hav-
ing then conte to their farms. Put-
ting a man to work on a farm is diff-
erent t0 putting hint to work in a
factory. A 'farmer has to take the
hired man into his home and to some
extent at least he becomes a member
of the household. If the man thus
hired has been much of a wanderer,
the farmer will 'know nothing at all
-of him or his habits; he will not
come with a word -of recommendation
or reference from She last man for
wham he worked, and there is good
enough reason why a farmer would
hesitate to take people who were 'be-
ing rounded up by police .for begging
on the streets.—Peterboro Examiner.
Number of Stallions
Are Changing Hands
According to L. E. O'Neill, Secret-
ary of the stallion enrolment board,
horse breeding appears to ibe start-
ing off for another good season in
493.9. Mr. O'Neill reports a number
of stallions changing hands as is evid-
enced by changes in ownership indi-
cated at time of enrolment.
Notwithstanding the season ,gen-
erally throughout the province has
been backward,the enrolment of
horses for 1939 to date has 'been
slightly in excess of the same period
last year.
Mr, O'Neill points out 'that all 'stal-
lians should be enrolled before May
11st as the enrolment fee up to this
date is $2 per horse, whereas after
flay lust the fee is 'dou'bled to $4,
.It is interesting to nate that ]'333
stallions were enrolled in Ontario
during 1.9318, an increase -of 77 over
1937. Last year showed the greatest
number enrolled in 20 years and for
the first time in history more Perch-
erons were enrolled than Clydesdales.
