Roberton was a big man at, bat, as he was able to lace a Ave -bagger with two men on base. This counted for two of Seaforth's six runs driven in during the sixth frame. Errors told a sad tale for both teams. Seven errors against Exe- ter in the sixth meant six runs for Seaforth. Seaforth picked up a total of six errors, all of which resulted in runs. Bruce McFad- den was key man in this depart- ment, with a total of three. Exeter's Jim Russell was the lone home -run artist of the night. Russell swatted a drive into cen- tre field which carried him around the sacks easily. Ken Thompson was the key hit- ter of the ball game. The Seaforth catcher hit a three -bagger in third, and two doubles in the fifth and sixth. Elmer Ince was on the mound all the way for Exeter, but poor support by teammates told the true COCCUS ILIS �MOB We offer this as a Lati,.1abel for a brand-new type of barn- yard fowl—a skating rooster. "Buster" is reported to be a . nonchalant performer on a pair of 5 -inch roller skates taped to his feet. Need we add that they're of featherweight aluminum. No less impressive than this fowl's spirit of derring-do is the resourcefulness of the designers and engineers who \dream up new u,ses for aluminum—from gadgets (see above) to furni- ture to minesweepers. It keeps Alcan's researchers busy, work- ing with customer companie with new ideas on how to use aluminum to create lighter, more lasting products. 'ALUMINUM COMPANY OF CANADA, LTD.

It is not a bad idea to take your troubles to the nearest seed store and let the ex- perts th4re prescribe treatment. With the modern dusts and sprays that handle all sorts of bugs and diseases, either singly or in com- bination, it is no trouble to check pests, and especially if we get them early. Even If You've Just Moved.. A lot of people have moved into brand new houses this Spring or will be doing so in the next few weeks. Sure it's getting on and there is a lot to be done, but still they can have a.good garden and ' have it this season too. Even those who rent and move every few years can also have an excel- lent showing. In these cases, of course, we rely on annual flowers rather than perennials which must get established. And, it is amaz- ing what can be done with annuals exclusively. We can get vines that will cover a porch in a mat- ter of weeks, things like scarlet runner beans, the modern and vastly improved morning glories. ' Or we can use window boxes fill- ed with trailing nasturtiums, and semi -trailing petunias, marigolds and zinnias. For big screens to act as hedges there are all sorts of rapid grow- ing bushy annuals like cosmos, African, marigolds, spider plants, larkspur, hibiscus, malope and others that are listed in any Cana- dian seed catalogue. These quick growers reach two to four feet and will take the place of shrub- bery and give privacy as well as abundance of bloom. As for the regular beds, there are hundreds of annuals from which to choose. Where we have justmoved in we can .combine special annuals with the permanent perennials which money when I travel ?

In amongst the tiny new shrubs, climbers and trees, we plant lib- erally with big annuals and we continue to do this for the first few years until the permanent stuff `has got established and re- quires the full room. An Ounce of Prevention It is unfortunate but it is true that for almost every useful plant Wei have in Canada there is some bug, disease, or worm which seems to have a special grudge against it. But a little protection provided in time will save them. Generally speaking, the very best protection against all these pests -is flourishing health. If the garden is free of weeds, well culti- vated and growing, there is little risk except from some special in- sect or disease. But if there are a lot of weeds, if our flowers or vegetable plants are crowded. to- gether and growth spindly and weak, then we are simply asking for trouble, and even a mild at- tack from pasing bugs can cause a lot of trouble. The first rule, then, in protection is to keep the garden clean and growing. Back Savers Long handled tools save stoop- ing and -backs, and often do the work just as well and •a lot more quickly. It is' surprising how ac- curate and quickly one can do thinning and weeding of even tiny stuff witha long handled d sea rp hoe or cultivator, provided the same is narrow or comes to a point. The D -shaped Dutch hoes are excellent things for killing weeds and loosening up the top soil, but one must be careful in using too close to sprawly vege- tables and flowers. There are- all sorts of tiny rakes, trowels and cultivators. With any of this equipment the work will be cut in_ two if the edges are kept sharp and clean. An ,old file will be handy. . Watch For. Bugs With so fnany easily applied chemical mixtures on the market, there is little if any excuse for having our flowers and vegetables damaged by insects or disease. It is no longer necessary to prepare various concoctions. All that one has to do is to go to the nearest seed store, tell'them our troubles and get some handy preparation which is simply dusted or sprayed. on. For every bug or disease there is a specific cure or control. The main thing is to start control measures just as soon as the first injury appears. The main thing is to start control measures just as soon as the first injury appears. Treatment is •not expensive. A healthy, clean and vigorously growing garden is the best insur- ance -against injury. Well spaced, well cultivated plants are far less. susceptible to trouble than neglect- ed plots overrun with weeds. Prompt clean-up measures, after harvest or blooming, and in the spring and fall will also help 'great- ly. Many bugs and disease live over in the ground, or in weeds along the edge of the garden. Cleaning these up regularly will help substantially in keeping a garden healthy. - Power Saves Labor - Where the lot is fairly large, a garden tractor and a power lawn mower will save time and hard work. These machines are not ex- pensive and, given minimum care, they will last for many years. They will do the work at least five times faster than by hand. It is a mistake to purchase too large equipment, especially in tractors. The smaller types are much more easily handled and with attach- ments will do almost every chore, except heavy plowing. He appeared before the com- pany officer, charged with using insulting language to his serge- ant. "Please, sir," he protested, "I was only answering a question." "What question?" snapped the officer. "Well air, the . sergeant said 'What do you think I am?' and i told; him."
