In the preliminary our sextet in a hard fought struggle wrested a vic­ tory qf 27-22 from the Pitchin daisies, Prom the beginning our girls held a small margin and by splendid guard­ ing and good shooting emerged vie torious. Pullin chalked up eleven points and was followed by Sttobridge and Barnhart with eight each. The boys’ game was not as inter­ esting as local fans had anticipated, since our team was never seriously threatened by the Pitchin quintet. Harris and Harriman, our lengthy forwards, by good passwork were able to obtain five field goals apiece. Rife and Waddle, a t guard, held the Pitchin boys to low score, while Peterson played his part, as pivot man, very we,ll. , The score stood 16*7 a t the end of the first half. During the third play­ ing period, the first stringers tolled up a safe lead. The second team, who played during the last five minutes, allowed the Pitchin lads to score only once.

One potato grower, residing,-near London, reports the loss of between 1,000 and 1,296 bushels which he had stored in the ground on his farm. An­ other grower states that more than 400 of the 600 bushels in his storage p it in the ground'have literally burned up and damaged the remaining 190 huihels. - The extreme hot wesither of three weeks ago and the slight frost dam­ age done to the tubers in October be­ fore they were removed from the fields are believed to have caused the heavy loss. The potatoes were frosted hut did not show the damage a t the rime the crop was dug, sorted and Stored for the winter. The heat wave caused the potatoes to overheat in the pits and to “hum up,” it is stated. Potatoes purchased in this section for the winter and stored in cellars and store-rooms also are showing a ten-percent spoilage, i t is stated# and potato owners are warned to inspect their supply of “murphies” a t ones and to sort out all-soft tubers. The dry season which caused the po­ tatoes to stop growing for several weeks, the heavy tains that Started the tubers again and the consequent softening of the fibre o f the tabor alt contributed to the spoiling of tow stored crop.
