Crossett Mercurys downed the lake-

Westlake started on the mound for
Goderich and lasted till the eighth in-

and striking out two. He was replaced
in the ninth by Dave Medley.
Goderich took a 3-1 lead after the
first innings, In the third innings
Wingham evened the count on a hom-
er by Cassidy, followed by a single
from Fleury who reached home on
MacLeod's long triple. Goderich again
took the lead in the fifth on a homer
by Hayter with no one on base.
Wingham finally got their batting
sights levelled at Westlake's pitching
in the sixth innings, and were able to
si.torle five bits into six rutis and front

Here in Ontario we have a lot to be
thankful for. I was reminded of this
by a friend of mine in the Maritimes
who wrote recently. He said, "Sure,
we have wonderful scenery in the Mar-
itimes. It takes your breath away to go
up to Cape Breton at this time of yeah-
and wander down the Cabot Trail.
Prince Edward Island in the summer-
time is a fairyland of beauty. Take
New Brunswick in the fall when those
hardwoods have turned to bright col-
ors and there are enough evergreens
around for contrast, but youeople
have all that plus better economic op-
portunities. It makes me laugh vhen
I hear people in Ontario complaining.
I suppose we have scenic attractions
comparable to what my friend talks
about. The Bluewater Highway run-
ning up to the Bruce Peninsula and
Georgian Bay. The Kawartha Lakes,
Muskoka, Lake Temagami in Northern
Ontario, Niagara Falls, the Thousand
Islands and all those hundreds of
beautiful little places such as Elora
that glitter like gems,
This all ties in with something else
I spotted. The Gallup poll asked the
question, "If you were free to live in
any province in Canada, which one
would you most like to live in?" Well,
seventy-four per cent of the people of
Ontario said they were content to stay
here. In other words twenty-six per
cent would wander. Thirty-eight per
cent of the prairie people said they
would like to leave, Thirty-three per
cent of the Nfaritime people would gd
from their natural place of abode.
Seventeen per cent of the natives of
Quebec would move and only twelve
per tent of British Columbia residents
wanted to move.
Let's look now at the reasons, The
people of Quebec liked the traditions
and customs of their province. The
residents of British Columbia were all
pulling for their province because of
the climate,
Let's look at Ontario however,- with
'what my Maritime friend says, is equal
to the best of what others have to of-
fer in the way of scenic attractions-
and better economics as far as business
success is concerened: You .vould nat-
urally think that the people of Ontarice
would give the natural beauty and
scenic attractions and good living as
their reason for staying. In place of
that they suggest that they want to
stay because of the "business oppor-
tunities" in the province.
Potato Sprouting Before
Planting Is Good Practice
Green sprouting of potatoes before
planting has now become a well-estab-
lished practice by successful potato.
growers, says R. E. Goodin, fieldmati
of the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Bran-
ch, Ontario Department of Agricul-
ture, The seed potatoes for this pur-
pose should be taken from storage at
least ten days to two weeks before
planting. Tubers arc selected for size,
type and freedom from disease, after
which they should be treated AY ith a re-
commended seed, disinfectant to de-
stroy disease organisms such as scab,
rhzoctonia, and black leg on the sur-
face of tubers, Spreading the tubers
on a floor, not more than two or three
deep, exposed to the light, both helps
to dry the potatoes after treatment
and also starts sprouting, which aides
somewhat in cutting and hastens the
come-up after planting. Only tubers
producing strong, vigorous sprouts
should be used, and these should not
be removed. This procedure aids in
the development of full maturity of
the resultant crop so tutitessary for
satisfactory cooking
