The Seaforth News, 1940-04-18, Page 7THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1940 THE SEAFORTH NEWS Com; MA ICATES 41 The demands of our Country and Empire, occasioned by another Great War, cause us to pause and recount the progress made in the quarter-century since the beginning of the first Great War. Then but 10,000,000 acres were sown to wheat in contrast to over 25,000,000 acres now; then we exported but 25,000,000 lbs. of bacon and ham to Great Britain in a year, whereas this year our shipments will total over 260,000,000 lbs. Then the average yearly production of a dairy cow was 4,500 lbs. of milk which now has been raised to 6,500 lbs. Farmers have been alert to the findings of science and the better practices developed by our agricultural colleges and experimental farms. Changed methods hove brought vast improvements; higher standards of products have been attained and maintained. Science, too, applied by practical men of knowledge has, through the solving of many of our immediate problems, greatly increased the productivity of our farms and added immense sums to the farmers' yearly revenue. Rust -resisting varieties of wheat have now ended the annual losses occurring from this perennial blight which is estimoted to have cost the farmers of Western Canada in the 62 years of wheat growing, an amount in excess of half a billion dollars. Grasshopper control efforts have been perfected to the point where the damage from these pests has been greatly curtailed, one authority placing the saving from this work at several hundreds of millions of bushels of grain in the last seven yea's. And the agricultural implement engineer has been busy designing machines to meet the specific needs of the moment. Speed, less man -power, and lower costs of operation, have been the goal and as a result most machines have undergone great changes. Tractors have been tremendously improved. New machines have been made available. One -Way -Disc Seeders—till and sow in one operation, cutting the cost of these operations by 40% to 50%. The nee/ Small Combines extend the use of this new low cost harvesting method to farms of all sizes—saving upwards of $1,60 per acre in harvesting costs. Massey -Harris is proud to have played an important part in adding the contribution of the implement maker to those of the scientist and farmer in furthering the interests of agriculture. THE SERV/CE ARM OF THE CANADIAN �r FARM7x' Injuries Cause Loss of Whitby Game McCallum Forced Out in First Period and A. McFadden in Third (Oshawa Daily Tlines) Bill Bagnell's sizzling ankle -high shot from inside the opponents' hlueline, three-quarter way through the second period, proved the win (ting goal as Whitby's title -seeking Intermediate hnrl(ey club registered a 3-2 victory over Seaforth "Beavers" in the Oshawa Arena last night. it was the first game of a best two -le - three series for the Intermediate "0" title of Ontario. A large number of Whitby fans made the trip to the Motor City tor the game while Seaforth also had a fair collection of rooters. The first period was rather dull as both teams lay back in a defen- sive style of hockey waiting for the break that would give then( the edge but no goals were scored despite the fart that both goalies were tested on numerous occasions. Two minor pen- alties were issued. McCallum was a casualty in the opening frame, whets he suffered a broken collar bone as he lost his balance and slid into the boards. George Piper opened the scoring in the second session when he staged one of the neatest solo efforts wit- nessed this season to split the Sea - forth defense and backhand a waist - high shot into the net behind Stade. Seaforth tied it up at the eight - minute mark, wheii Leppard scored en R, McFadden's rebound. For the next five minutes play was mostly ter• ritorial with the County Town hold- ing a distinct edge. As the visitors wilted Whitby . carried the play to them and registered two smart goals. Phillips scored Whitby's second on a Pass from Piper while Bagnell fired an ankle high shot inside the Sea - forth blue -line for what proved to be the winning goal of the game. A. McFadden was forced to retire from the game late in this period with an injured shoulder, Both clubs showed signs of tiring iu the final, with Whitby playing a defensive style in au effort to Pro- tect their lead while Seaforth, riddled by injuries, hadn't enough power to come from behind. Flannery seared the only goal of the final stanza on a breakaway to reduce the Whitby lead to one goal. The MoFaddens, Leppard and Hub- ert were the pick of the losers with Stade playing classy hockey between the pipes. Brown and Piper, a pair of veterans, stood out for the winners, while Heard, Bragg and Clarke rated in that order, Seaforth—Goal, Stade; defense, Hubert and T. Sills; centre, 11. Mo.

"B" grout finals. Seaforth lost two players, one with a bad shoulder strain and the other with a broken collar -bone. They may and the game too costly but those who saw the tilt say that the County Town boys will have plenty of trouble yet. The County Town team is a fair bunch of puck -chasers but, they rely chiefly on individual rushes or one- way passes in their attacks and local fans who attended found the brand a little doll after watching Junior "A" playoffs.

It is expected the session will continue until late July. 0 was not known whether Hon. Pierre F. Casgruin, speaker of the House in the last parliament, will continue hs that office, Ile has been suggested as a likely successor to Hon. Fernand Rinfret, secretary of state, who died last summer. It has been suggested that Mr. Casgraiu has gained such complete grasp of the exacting role of speaker that the gov erntnent will prefer to retain hint in that capacity. F. J. Sanderson, mem- her for Perth, is deputy speaker and would no doubt be in line for the pro• motion if Mr. Casgraiu goes to some other post. Two vacancies already exist in the House of. Commons, one caused by the death of Rev. Dr, W. G. Brown. elected as a United Reform candidate in Saskatoon, and the outer by death of A. 13.
