Tennis is a game which gives us,
.personally, a pain in the neck. This
is not such a dirty slant at a really
fine sport as it might appear at
first sight, but merely our way of
baying that for donkey's years our
role in tennis has been strictly that
of a spectator; and no sport on
earth will give you a crick in the
neck as quicky and surely as
watching first -grade tennis, unless
your observation post is directly
back of one of the base -lines,
5 * R
Not that we Canadians get utuch
chance of taking a swivel at first -
grade tennis, the quality of our
native game seeming to improve
at about the same rate of speed
as that of our race -track Thorough--
breds—and if you think that is a
complimentary remark, you're wel-
come.
Our Canadian racket -wielders are
pretty much outclassed any time
they step into top-notch competi-
tion, and that's all there is about
it; and while it's customary—and
easy—to put the blame almost en-
tirely on our weather conditions,
it's possible that there may be other
reasons as well. With so many On-
tario communities either engaged
in, or planning, the construction
of sports centres, possibly the fol-
lowing remarks regarding the
proper courts to build in order to
encourage fast tennis may not be
too ar off the beam.
s * 5
it's no real secret that the beet
tennis in the world is played in
California. A prominent official
out there recently stated that they
consi,iered it a poor year when
their players didn't win at least
seventy-five per cent of their
matches in he major national and
inter i tionai tournaments. He
wasn't just boasting. either. He was
simply Mating a fact that's borne
out bythe records. And it can't all
be just sun and balmy weather,
becarse other sections of the world
are blessed with those commodities
as gall as California—but they still
don't have the mass production of
Grade A racketeers.
* * *
Gene '.1ako, who tennis fans re-
ran ns doubles partner of Don
Budge,—and a grand combination
they were—believes that the nature
of the courts they play on has far
more to da with California young-
sters' success than the climate. Un-
like most other places, young Cal-
ifornians are brought up almost ex -
elusively on tennis courts of con-
crete manufacture.
*
In Contrast to the surfaces in
use throughout the rest of the
country. the concrete court gives
tennis balls a good, true bounce.
One thing this tends to deveop in
a player is smoothness and rhythm
of stroking.
* * *
The bounce, too, off concrete is
faster than grass or cla - or practi-
cally any other surface outside of
hardwood. What does this mean?
More speed, for one thing.

success in tennis, for another. "On
concrete you learn to hit and conte
in," Mako explains, You learn
to play correctly. Look over the
lists of recent years. See if you
ccan find a clay courts player who
consistently wan any of the big
tournaments. You know why they
haven't? Clay court players are 90
per cent baseliners. And you just
can't win big matches from the
baseline."

Mako, who now is a construc-
tion engineer and a specialist at
cement courts, recently returned to
California front a trip East. "Back
there and in the Midwest they know
nothing about cement construc-
tion," he claims. "They do it all
wrong. \Vhey they do build a ce-
ment court they do it by sections.
:5 * *
"Any one -process pour is super-
ior to a two -process," he explained.
"That way you get a flat, even sur-
face that is free front buckling."
In constructing a cement court,
Mako likes to have his crew begin
pouring at 6:30 in the morning of
the appointed day, If all goes well,
that phase of the job ought to take
no more than four hours, That is,
for a court of normal size. say
60 by 120 feet,
* * *
"At noon, just as the Cement
starts to settle, the hand finishers
go to work," Mako explained.
"This is the most important part
of the operation, A hand -applied
rotary finish must be put on the
court." A. delicate process, the work
is demanding of an artisan's skill.
"Out of 100 hand finishers," Mako
said, ''maybe you will get three
good ones,"
* * *
01 course, the cement courts are
expensive. Say between $5,000 and
$6,000, depending upon the type
and location. After that, though,
there is practically no upkeep. The
courts don't have to be watered,
rolled, sodded or, better than any-
thing, mowed,

When I ran across news about
the latest substitute for eggs, I
couldn't help thinking of Uncle
Eph Palmer, back on the farm in
Wellington County in the days of
too long ago. Aunt Hetty had just
returned from the village where it
was her custom to trade in butter,
eggs and similar truck for store
goods and Uncle Eph inquired how
much eggs were fetching.
* * *
"Three dozen for a quarter,"
Aunt Hefty replied, "and likely
to go lower they say." "Is that all?"
said Uncle Eph. "Heck! That hard-
ly Pays for the wear and tear on
the poor hens!"
5 * *
Anyway, according to the dis-
patch I referred to at the begin-
ning, over in Norway they've pet-
fected a chemical process which
outproduces one hundred thousand
hens to daily transform quantities
of codfish waste into synthetic egg
white. One pound of the artificial
product is said to be equivalent
to the albumen contained in 110
]ten's eggs.
* * *
-lccording to Chemical and En-
gineering News, the synthetic al-
bumen contains 80 to 90 per cent
pure protein and can be used for
baking, ice-cream, mayonnaise, and
pharmacceutical products, as well
as in. the textile and paint indus-
try. Albumen is also used indusz-
trially for soap, cosmetics, and
paper.
* * *
One pound of the synthetic prod-
uct requires approximately 11
pounds of waste from the Nor-
wegian coddfish industry accord-
ing to the report. Trial production
of more than 600 pounds a day
has been started by two Norweg-
ian firms.
* k *
Production is carried out by a
completely chemical - mechanical
proess irom the time the fish enter
the pipe line at one .end of the
plant until the end product emerges
in the form of a dry white pow-
der. Norwegian fishermen haul
about 1.000.000 tons of fish from
the sea each year, of which a large
portion is processed into margar-
ine and cattl; fodder.
* *
Well, all I have to add is that
if this sort of thing continues,
pretty soon things will be better
--or worse—than they were back
in Uncle Eph's day, and there won't
be any "wear and tear" on the
hens at all. Maybe there won't
even be any hens. Ain't Science
wonderful:
* *
Recently a group of prominent
Canadian agriculturists and farm
editors took a tour through Ver
mont and New Hampshire where,
for the past few years, an extensive
grassland improvement program has
been in progress, the folks down
there believing that highly produc-
tive pastures are an important part
of improving and maintaining rural
prosperity,
* *
While' there the Canadians saw
prosperous dairy farms, for ex-
ample, with as much as seventy--
five per cent of their sgeas in grass,
Many farms were able to maintain
a dairy cow on two acres of forage
per year. On one farm for a,herd
of Guernseys (26 milking) enough
forage was obtained from 47 acres
of hay and pasture. In most cases
excess grass was harvested and
preserved as grass silage which was
fed in dry weather in summer when
l;astnres Wcre relatively unproduc-
tive and during winter to keep up
milk production.
* * 0.
The fires England farmers use
no essentially new ideas or meth-
ods to achieve their success, Most
of their grasslands are the hay -
pasture type which are left in hay
and pasture for five years before
re -plowing and re -seeding. No seed
mixture is standard for the area.
One excellent pasture consisted o'f
Ladino clover and orchard grass
only.
* * t
High yields are obtained by other
farmers from mining such grasses
as timothy, brome or orchard grass
with legumes such as alfalfa, red
01 ladino clover, depending on what
mixture has been found to be most
productive. Good results are ob-
tained when legumes are seeded
in the fall and grasses during spring.
No farms visited used more than
15 pounds of seed per acre.
* * *
Highy productive pastures were
fertilized with as much as 1,000
pounds of fertilizer per acre at the
time of seeding. For maintainence
during the next five years super-
phosphate was applied alone or in
mixture with potash or a complete
mixture depending on the seed used
and needs of the soil as determined
by a soil test. After the initial
treatment, top -dressing with man-
ure or fertiliizer is standard prac-
tice each year.
* t *
The general consensus of the
visiting group was that methods
used by New England farmers in
their grassland program should be
carefuly studied and emulated by
Canadians who are looking to live-
stock as the main source of in-
come. Potential benefits are two-
fold:
(a) Production of low cost yet
highly nutritous feed,
Ib) A paying soil conservation
program—something that is vital=
ty needed for Canadian farm Lands.
:k t ,
All of which sounds not only
interesting, but mighty sensible and
practical as well, and 'I'm glad to
pass along ties- suggestions to any
readers of this column—and I hope
there are a lot of you—to whoa)
they may be of value.
