on hie team -and quite obnoxious to
the apposition.
It was in the old Trolley Lague,
-which used to operate up Galt-

Prodgers Bret broke into the

Eire he had been Itt a hocketante

the previous evening„ as both play-
ers and fans liked their sport rough
and tough.
* . 5 *
In 1914 Prodgers was with Que-
bec- than - a member of the Big
League--and-although promoters of
that era preferred, in their publicity,
to stress players' ability rather than
bow much dough they w•ere.getting,
Goldie, Bad Joe Hall and Joe Ma-
lone were supposed to he the- high-.
est salaried athletes in the National
Hockey Association.
w *•*
It was even rumored -although
moat sensible folies scoffed at this
as a gross exaggeration, -that they
were getting --hold your breatiti-
as much as two thousand dollars It
season each. Just imagine. As much
as a Branch Bank AI:wager!
Mr. Prodgers was on no less than
four chanyllonehip teams in tate
xlacg of five Fears--witirh ghQphi
ere Yob rite nota that he was eon-
stderahly better than a ran hand,
as teams didn't tote along mitcll
dead -wood in that rude era, He
helped win championships with -in
addition to the Quebec Bulldogs -
Victoria and Les C tatadieus.
e * *
In addition Prodgers wit, a mem-
ber - and by no means the least
scintillating ---of an outfit which
many think nee just about the fin-
est hockey aggregation evrr as-
sembled tenhe one tent. Th51 was
the fatuous 228th Battalion team,
back in the days of the \\ ar to End
All Wars. 1 1914-19181,
* * *
Prodgers was a winger on that
team' ---although he played both for-
ward and defence equally well dur-
ing his carver. And in one unforget-
table game against the Quebec Bull-
dogs he scored no less than six
goals for the soldiers. Included on
the Bulldogs side here such stal-
warts as Moose Johnson, Rusty
Crawford. Joe Malone, Harry Mum-
mery and Joe Hall and anybody
tallying even twice against the likes
of then had to have what it takes,
* * *
So, all things considered, we are
of the opinion that Goldie Prodgers
is decidedly worthy of IIall of Fanrc
recognition -and our thanks to Jim
Coleman for making the suggestion
-and also for the assist in getting
out this pie:,, idiom a teal hockey
player.

I've often thought that one of the
Week things a man could possibly
have is a real raspberry patch; but
when I get around to making One -
well, I guess I must be s lineal
descendant of the Scot whose
dreams were 051 forth in the verse
entitled "Prayer of the Lazy Crof-
ter." It ran something like this:
"Oh that the pests would But them-
selves,
The fish leap on the shore,
And that I in my bed might lit

If you get what I mean, those
ideal raspberry patches 1 start have
a tvay of growing into a tangled
iungle. Still, I read with' intense in-
trreet 5 report rt•retttly made by
R. 1). Pligh, a Research Officer
of the Dominion Department of
Agriculture. His remarks are ad-
dressed to the small fruit growers
do,vn in Nova Scotia, but what he
recommends is applicable -most of
it anyway -up here as well.
* *
Only the best land -he says -
should be chosen for a raspberry
plantation, and it should be on a
slope which provided good air and
soil drainage, yet furnishes subsoil
moisture,
* * *
It shanid 3101 be expo .nd to winds
which may cause- win t( r injury dur-
ing zero temperatures, or haltering

harvest. The soil should. be a deep,
sandy loam, well -drained, early, and
of high fertility and with a subsoil
that is open and porous,- permitting
of drainage yet retentive of mois-
ture at all times. Newly ploughed
sod or land polluted with couch
grass, yarrow or other perennial
weeds should not be used for a rasp.
berry plantation.
* * *
The soil should be ntanured or
fertilized deeply and thoroughly
worked in the spring as early as
agil conditions will permit, The
canes to be planted should be head-
ed backto one
set in o' foot and n
rows
eight feet apart with two feat be-
tween the canes inthe rows. This
requires 2722 canes to set an acre.
This is recommended hedge -row
system. * "` *
In large plantations every seventh
row should be left unplanted to
serve as a roadway for the distribu-
tion of fertilizers, removal of prun-
ings, spraying of the plantation and
the gathering of the fruit at harvest.
5 . 5 *
Weeds and raspberries , are not
congenial neighbours. TO stimulate
vigorous growth of the newly plant-
ed canes, destroy weeds and con-
serve soil moisture, frequent shal-
low cultivations, with hand hoeing
when necessary, should he practised
until late snlmner. In the fruiting
plantations cultivation must cease
when the berries begin to ripen.
A cover crop of two parts of bar-
ley and one of oats, at the rate of.
three bushels per acre, may he sown
in August to reduce the supply of
soil nutrients and moisture: this
earlier maturity results in an ea 3.r nt t , of the
growiltg canes. Such a crap, when
broken down and winter -killed, also
provides a ground covering snffi-
cient to check soil erosion, and by
holding snow gives some winter
protection to the raspberry roots.
Ten tons of barnyard manure pith
500 pounds of 20 cent superphos-
phate or 1000 pounds of 11-12-0 fer-
tilizer per acre should be applied
annually in the spring and shallow-
ly ploughed down. ,with the cultiva-
tion and cover -crop syeteul outlined
above repeated. Mulching for rasp-
berries is still in the experimental
stage, * * *
The fruiting cant's of the red rasp-
• berry are renewed annually. Those
grown one year, bear the following
year and then die. Their removal
immediately after the berry harvest
is advocated.
\\'hen the plant:ttit,n has develop-
ed a hedge -row oi cares they should
be thinned. The It idlll of the row
should he tWO feet, 117e better canes
being lift six inches apart and the
smaller ones removed by .utling at
ground level or thug for sir ting.
The cants left for fruiting sh,mid
be tipped at five feet if tent r.
