These three games were the most ex- .citing and best rolled games that have been bowled on the local alleys. The championship of the series depended on these games and the winners are well worthy of being called champions. The 0ke s took the first two games by a very slight margin, but the Rin- ky Dink youngsters showed they were game by coming back strong and tak- ing the last game by enough pins to break even on the `night, which was not quite good enough, they had to get 3 points for a tie or 4 points would have made them leaders. To show the class of the bowling there were 3 games over three hundred rolled. Jockey Hewlett, the boy wonder, -must have thought he was shooting at that big hear he saw, the way he was hitting the pins. His score of 8'38 topped all the bowlers for the night. Dr. Dyer with 679 was chief 'scorer for the Okes. Massey-Harris by breaking even with Singers made sure of finishing _in the first division. Singers won two of the games, one by seven pins and oneby thirty. That was how evenly the teams were'matched. Ab. DeHart with 714 led his team and Lawrence Singer with 655 led his.

There was no significant dif- ference in the yields of either corn or cats by ploughing seven inches deep as compared with ploughing tour in- ches deep or heavy clay and of sandy loam soils. Corn after sod on heavy soils gave precisely` the same yield where the soil was ploughed tour in- ches deep and where it was ploughed three inches deeper. On sandy soils DEPTH OF PLOWING the difference was so little as to be not worth considering, amounting to 20.69 tons after four-inch ploughing and 20.90 tons after seven-inch ploughing. Oats after corn on heavy clay yielded 55.1 bushels per acre where the soil was ploughed four inch- es deep and 53.5 bushels per acre where it was ploughed seven in- ches deep. On sandy soil the shallower ploughed land yielded 69.2 bushels and that which was ploughed deeper 64.5 bushels per acre. z-(rJr<;z-1ment1x"1-'o5n these results E. S.
