Ken had just finished playing baseball and won, so he decided that he should share the goodwill. photo by McKinley Virus damaging oats and barley A virus disease is seriously damaging late sown oat and barley crops across southern Ontario, from Windsor to the Ottawa valley. Spread by grass feeding aphids, it is known in oats as `red -leaf' and in barley as `yellow -dwarf'\ says Professor J. C. Sutton, of the Environ- mental Biology Department, Ontario Agricultural College. Damage to the oat crop ap- pears to be more widespread and severe than in the barley crop. Late -sown oats are showing the worst damage, with their leaves turning a reddish -brown color. Barley, however, becomes yellow and is often severely stunted. It should be noted though, says Professor Sutton, that not all oats and barley with leaf discoloration necessarily have this virus disease. Some farmers are faced with the decision of whether affected crops are worth saving for grain purposes. Professor Sutton says that crops which appear at least moderately vigorous, and in which at least;l /,2 to 2!3 of the upper leaves have not turned red or yellow at the early heading stage, will probably give reasonable grain yields. More severely affected crops may be havested for either silage or fodder purposes. Some crops, however, will not be worth harvesting at all. These should be plowed under unless they have been seeded down with clover or alfalfa. In these fields the barley and oats should be cut even though they cannot be harvested, says Professor Sutton, to prevent smothering or shading of the clover and alfalfa crop. This is not necessary if the crop was so severely stunted that there is no danger of it having a smothering effect. Professor Sutton says farmers should not be reluctant to plant oats and barley next year. Unless weather conditions are similar to this past spring, it is unlikely a severe virus infestation will occur next year. The virus is spread only by aphids, and not through the soil or seeds. Winter wheat may also develop mild yellow dwarf, especially if it is sown too early, there by C4N4AD see what forest fires can do to Canada! i we can't afford to be careless /�►i\ becoming exposed to fall aphids. The way to avoid infecting the wheat crop, say's Professor Sutton, is to sow it as late as possible, decreasing the chance of the aphids transmitting the disease. The earliest infestations were from aphids blown up from ad- vanced crops to the south. Weather conditions this year have favored the multiplication and spreading of aphids, both in the United states and Canada..

The last two home games were against tough teams. Dashwood provided the opposition last Tuesday night and seemed to pull away from the Mets in the first inning. Dashwood capitalized early and scored five runs. Zurich took a run in the second inning and held Dashwood scoreless until the fourth inning when again they broke loose for a five run spree. It looked as though Zurich might make a come -back, holding the Tigers to one run in the fifth inning and taking three runs themselves. But Dashwood took five runs again in the sixth to put the game out of reach. On Sunday afternoon, the Mets faired on slightly better although they still ended up on the losing end of an 8-4 score. Clinton provided the opposition. Thp game remained scoreless until the second inning when the Mets scored two runs and held the lead until the fourth when Clin- ton scored one run. The sixth inning turned out to be the beg- inning of the end for the Mets when Clinton took four runs and Zurich only two. That put the score at 5-4 for the opposition. Clinton took one run in the seventh and two in the ninth to salt the game away. Let's hope the Mets can find some winning ways to turn the tide. 8 DAYS FRIDAY — FRIDAY JULY 23-30 Fantasy Films presents A MILOS FORMAN FILA JACK NICHQLSON in "ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST" Stamnq LOUISE FLETCHER end WILLIAM REDFIELD • Srcenplry LAWRENCE HAUREN anti BO GOLDMAN Rua on the nervi by KEN RESET • Director of Photography HASKELL WEXLER • Music •JACK NITESCHE A OMI11 A (• Produced by SAUL ZAENT2 and MICHAEL DOUGLAS to Mt Directed by MILOS FORMAN Maud Artists run aAG. aan• PLUS THUNDERBOLT & LIIGHTFOOT Clint Eastwood - Beau Bridges'. 4 DAYS SATURDAY — TUESDAY JULY 31— AUGUST 1-3 SWIM 81bb POKER sem ust'S 00 661114 It's the some two dudes From "Uptown Saturday Night".. but this lime theyre bock with kid dyn-o-mite!
