e Every Kentucky Derby like every
other great horse dice --has its episodes
of glory, but every renewal of this great
race has its bitter disappointments, and
its upsets, tco,
For instance, there was the 1940
Kentucky herby, and there never has
been a satisfactory answer to the quee-
tion Of just what happened to the great Bimeleeh in tl.'•> Run
for the Rases that year.
Colonel E. B, Bradley had an amazing number o' t ..
breds, including foto' winners of previous Derble ,, t.nd also
the. mighty Black Servant, Baggenbaggago, Blue Larkspur and
so many others and he had furnished the sire which produced
the immortal Black Geld. Going up to the 1940 Derby, Colonel
Bradley said:
"I think Bimelech is the greatest horse I ever had."
Bimelech won 6 races straight as a 2 -year old. Making his
debut as a 3 -year old, he won both races in which he had been
entered, and came up to the Kentueky Derby of 1940 with the
record of being unbeaten in 8 starts, apparently at the peak
Of his form, and with the turf authorities insisting he had the
Derby at his mercy.
The punters made him a favorite at 40 cents to the
dollar. The field he was pitted against was regarded as one
Of the most mediocre of many years. It represented the best
Of the crop, but the crop, at its best, was not presumed to be
in a class with Bimelech,
"Bimelech should win by a quarter of a mile," the ex-
4oeets insisted. "No other horse in the race can ruin the mile
and a .quarter faster than 2.05."
Yet Gallahadion, who never knew greateness before, nor
showed any greatness afterward, was too fast for Bimelech
that afternoon. Gallahadion won by a length and a half. Gal-
lahadion's time: 2.05.
Not until the defeat of the grey ghost, Native Dancer,
last year, at 7 to 10, has there been a similar catastrophe of
form, and even so, the odds on Bimelech were much shorter,
so that the great mystery of all the Kentucky Derbies is:
"What was wrong with Bimelech on Derby Day of 1940?"

What is happening to the idea
of producer controlled orderly
marketing which since the days
336 The Farmer's Sun used to be
the foremost topic of all agri-
cultural discussions?
Whether it were hog pro-
ducers or catle breeders, dairy
farmers or wheat growers, when-
ever they met in groups pro-
ducer controlled marketing took
the most prominent spot on the
agenda.
Complete Surrender
A number of marketing
eehemee have been set up in the
"s n`c few years, but they are
giving producers rather less
than more control over their
product. Oddly enough this trend
as been vigorously promoted by
the leaders of Ontario farm or-
ganizations who previously just
ea vigorously advocated more
producer control.
The crassest and most abject
example of complete surrender
of individual and collective
sights to the all-powerful state
le the new Ontario Milk Indus-
try Act which was put on the
books during the recent session
Of the Legislature.
In meeting after meeting last
fell resolutions were presented
and carried unanimously calling
for consolidated dairy legisla-

1100. Always the implication
was that this should give farmers
more control over their product
and protect them against exploi-
tation.
What did we get? An agglo-
meration of five acts into one by
which the last Little bit of con-
trol was taken away from the
producers and all powers were
concentrated in the hands of the
government,
Individual farmers and -local
branches of farm organizations
were not informed of the con-
tent of the new legislation, but
were asked to lobby their res-
pective There was MLA's
ot time for oppor orttuni-
ty for discussion and explana-
tion at the grassroot level.
Before the Agricultural Com-
mittee of the Legislature repre-
sentatives of the farm organiza-
tions said that this was what
Ontario farmers wanted.
Meat Marketing
A similar situation is dove -
loping in the field of beef pro-
ducing and meat marketing.
While large groups of cattle
raisers, particularly in t h e
prairie provinces, are going on
record in favour of orderly
marketing, a Canadian , Meat
Council is being proposed by
others and presented to farmers
as a panacea for dwindling mar-
kets.
The Meat Council will be com-
posed of producers and proces-
sors. It will be financed by a 5
cent levy on every head of
cattle marketed by farmers while
the processors will not contri-
bute to the fund. The object of
the Council is the propagation
and promotion of meat consump-
tion.
As .laudable as any such plan
may be, it will not replace a •
marketing scheme; of which it
could be a part.
Hog Marketing
Looking over the reporton
the annual meeting of the On-
tario Hog Producers Associa-
tion the question arises whether
the marketing scheme is being
run by the Producers Associa-
tion or by the sales agency.
Or is it just drifting along in-
stead of being run at all?
Watch Out.
Milk, beef and hogs are the
three most important products
on Ontario ' farms, Marketing
schemes for these products could
be of great benefit to the pro-
ducers. They should see to it
that they are.

Fight referees have their odd
moments. For leans who complain
of partiality when their favo-
rite drops a decision, this first
little anecdote ought to show
thein what real bias is. It hap-
pened in a fight between Kid
McCoy and some unknown paloo-
ka whom the Kid agreed to take
on for some easy money. In the
very first round, the unknown
closed his eyes and connected
resoundingly with the Kid's
jaw, Down went the great Mc-
Coy with a bang like a thunder-
clap. The referee, who was Mc-
Coy's man, just couldn't believe
his eyes. He stood, mouth
agape, staring at the fallen Mc-
Coy for a full minute before he
began to count, Then he got
down on his knees, put his lips
against McCoy's ear, and began
40 bellow the Count as loud as
he could roar, trying to rouse
the Kid from his slumber. By
the time the count reached five,
the referee was out of breath
and the Kid was still comatose.
The referee stopped yelling and,
leaning still closer 40 McCoy,
took the fallen fighter's ear be-
tween his teeth and bit as hard
as he could. He continued to
chew and chew on the ear until
it looked like raw hamburger,
but still McCoy continued to
count sheep.
The fans, as you can well
imagine, were in an uproar at
the goings on in the ring. Final-
ly, despairing of ever getting
McCoy to his feet, the referee got
up, brushed off his trousers,
shrugged helplessly, and shouted
at the top of his voice, "Ten —
and out!"

Boiling is the changing Of
liquid into vapor, or gas; and
the temperature at which this
happens is called the boiling
point of the substance. The boil-
ing point of water is generally
given as 212' Fahrenheit, or 100'
centigrade, but the boiling point
varies according to the pressure
of the atmosphere. Water will
boil at a lower temperature at
the top of a mountain than at
the bottom. At the top of Mont
Blanc, for instance, water boils
at 185° Fahrenheit, or 65' centi-
grade.
Some substances boil at a very
much higher temperature than
water. Gold, for instance, which
melts, or becomes liquid, at 1063°
centigrade, boils at 2600°. Copper
melts at 1083° centigrade and
boils at 2300°. Silicon, which
formsabout a quarter of the
e#4th` ,'crust, melts at 1420° cen-
tigd.•;and boils at 2600°. Tin
n lts ift 231 ° centigrade and boils
at -;2N0°. These are all substances
t.fe solid in the ordinary
temperatures at which we live,
Mercury, or quicksilver, which is
normally a liquid, boils at 357"
centigrade.
When we come to substances
that are gases at ordinary tem-
peratures, we find that their
boiling point is very low. Hydro-
gen boils, or changes from the
liquid into the gaseous state, at
minus 253° centigrade. Fluorine
boils 'at minus 187° centigrade;
nitrogen at minus 196'; and oxy-
gen at minus 183°.
SQUARE S�R DANCING AT
WINTER ER FAIR
When the curtain rings up on
the 1954 edition of the Royal

able at the offices of the Royal
Agricultural Winter Fair, Royal
Coliseum, Exhibition Park, Tor-
onto, The closing date for en-
tries is October 31.

formity, ability and general ef-
fectiveness. Cash awards total
$1100, and a beautiful trophy
