FAIRBANKS A.
WINNER OVER
LYNDONVILLE
st. Johnbury Team Makes
Good Showing In s to 3
Victory

The Fairbanks A. A. opened their
baseball season Monday afternoon
against the Lyndonvillc baseball team
winning by score of 8 to 3. The
game was played before large
crowd out to see the ST. Johnsbury
team for the first time.
The pamc was interesting at some
of its stages, while at other times, it
was iistless. After the last half of
the eighth, many of the fans, in
Guiding some of the players, believing
i. to be the first of the ninth, depart
ed from the field. This mistake was
caused by the failure of the assocla-
ton to provide a scorer. All in all it
was very suspicious start for the
new athletic association.
Collins hitting featured for the To-
calls, while for the visitors Ahearn at
short was the star, and Wakeheld's
hitting was of the better order.
Mahan, pitching for the locals,
proved effective all through the game
he retiring Is by the strike route. He
was nicked for seven safeties, and at
least three of these should have been
outs. Sleeper for the visitors was rat
for lhe same number of safe ones,
but the locals gathered theirs in
punches, 90 that the scoring was
more regular. He retired five on
strikes.
Fairbanks scored their first run in
the first inning after the visitors had
been retired with four men coming
to the bat. Common was hit on the leg
and took first, and while G. Lynch
was striking out he stole second. Lee
gendre ana Hoernle the next two up,
each drew pass, the latter's one
forcing both Conner and Legendre to
move up q peg. He then scored
when Collins go: his first hit The
side was retired when Heath flied to
Ahearn at short, and he doubled Col
Inns at first.
In the first half of the fourth the
visitors got two of their three runs
after Ahearn had been thrown out al
first BY G. Lynch. Wakefield ar1
Paige both got hit apiece, and were
both forced ore base, when Clark
drew pass. Burns struck out, al
though one of the balls on him was
a passed ball, allowing Wakefield to
score. The next man up, Sleeper cot
a hit, getting Paige over the plate for
their tther run. In this inning Clark
was thrown out at the plate by Con-
nor, making the third out.
St. JohJsbuly came back for one
in this inri ing, getting it after Heath
had been thrown out at the plate, fol-
lowing his hit. force to second and

inning on-a base on balls, hit and

The locals gathered in four more in
the sixth on two errors, a base on
ball, single and a double, making
the count six to two in favor of Fair
banks.
The visitors scored their third tally
in the eighth when an error, IA passed
ball and a hit followed Sherrer to
score.

the bat scored two more. Burns NJ

NEWPORT BEATS
MORRISVILLE
Il -


Wi,h ideal weather prevailing and
playing before nearly 1000 cheering
fans, The Newport City baseball team
ushered in its 1920 season by trounc-
ing Morn willie i to 5, in a slow
game at Gaines Trottng Park on
Memorial day afternoon. Heavy
hitting on the part of the locals and
the excellent pitching of "Shy" Ken
nison was the perfect combination
that 'aused the undoing of the visit
ors. Newport had a regular field day
at the bat and in addition to this big
bet, old Shylock had plenty of stuff
on the Dill he was shooting across
to the helpless batters of the Nor
risvile ortfit.
Although Kcnnison allowed the OPP
position to hit safely on ten different
occasions, the visitors ut no time be-
came dangerous. While on the other
hand, our boys landed hard on f. Sill
loway. Billy Mossa led in the attack
on Sllloway, getting three safe
knocks, willie Montgomery and
LahaI each touched him for two
whacks. John Broullette hammered
out Il home run in deep left field in
the 'ourth inning which attributed in
no small way to the large score.
Gray got one hit during the four inn
ings he played and it was humding-
er. 1t went into deep right field and
was good for three bases. 1t was the
cleanest extra base hit of the day
The local team needs more fielding
practice. The defense, especially the
infeld, was not a. snappy as it should
have been. but this is certain to be
remedied as soon as the boys get out
of practice. Gray who played short
stop during the first half OF the game
had i streak of hard luck, making
four crroIs. 1t seemed to be an off
day for this bov, who is conceded to
be one If the best players in the
game in this vicinity. Gray Will be
remembered for his fine work with !
North Troy. Despite the fact that he |
had an "of" day at short on Monday,
Captain Wells may congratulate him
SELF hat he has such an able man to
play this difficult position.

Follow Nature
Feed Plenty of
Green Feed

After many years of close study,
poultry breeders in all parts of the
country have come to the right con-
clusion that one of the most es-
sential items in the feeding ration
to be given the birds is to increase
the egg yield is a plentiful sup
ply of sweet, tender blades of
grass.
Did you ever notice how eagerly
the young grass is devoured by the
fowls, young and old, during the
spring months, when the grass is
of the finest quality, and how
quickly the egg yield increases
Many people heretofore believed,
and, no doubt, many believe yet,
that this increase in the number
of eggs laid is principally due
to warmer weather. The fact is,
however, the green feed thus sup
piled by nature, in addition to the
ration given by the breeder, is en-
tirely responsible for it.
The nearest we can come to i'm
itate nature in this respect after
fall supply is exhausted is in sup
plying sprouted grain, especially in
the form of sprouted oats, so cas-
lily and cheaply produced in any
one of the modern grain sprouters
now on the market.
Observations carried on during
experiments the past season with
sprouted grain during the hot
weather when grass was tough and
fiberous has more than ever firm
ly convinced us that too little at
tention is given this most impor-
tant item in the feed ration. OF
course, we cannot get along with
out grain or by-products, but we
can waste lot Of money feeding
grain alone without natures pro-
tective food 1.-THE tender blades of
GRASSY, and not realize much bene-
fit from our efforts.
We honestly believe that if half
the grain fed during the hot
weather would be given in
sprouted condition to the growing
stock, they would mature much
quicker and at less expense; the
older birds would pass through the
trying period of the molt in much
better shape, and if kept supplied
with plenty of succulent' sprouted
grain, would soon respond with
fine supply of eggs and keep this
up all fall and winter.-Pacific
Poultryman.

Lack Storage
Space Affects
Apple Market

The present weak tone in the
apple market is largely due, accord
ing to R. C. Paulus, sales mana
ger of the Oregon Growers Coop
erative Association, to the fact
that storage space is rapidly be-
coming scarce in the east, that
cash buyers have practically with
drawn from the northwest, and to
the fact that heavy shipments
are being sent east to be sold on
arrival, regardless of market con-
ditions.
The eastern market holds fairly
firm as long as there is storage
space, Paulus says, as apples upon
arrival may be stored if the mar
ket is not satisfactory.
Shortly after November 1, when
shipments east were in full swing,
storage space in the east was soon
filled. With heavy shipments and
no outlet or storage to be had,
shippers were forced to sell and,
as a result, the, market went to
pieces.
History repeats itself in the APP
pie market as well as in other aft
fairs. This condition of lack of
storage and flooded market ex-
listed just one year ago and is in
process today. And as a result,
the market is most unsatisfactory.
For instance, extra Jonathans
sold in the Chicago market Novem-
Der IL for $2.35 per box, while the
fancy brought $1.97 and the C
Grade as low as $1.3S a box.
Owing to the heavy increase in
freight rates and for freight and
selling cost expenses Paulus points
out that from these prices 81
box must be deducted. In the case
of C grade Jonathans, this would
leave less than packing costs.

Volume 1.
News of the
Grocery Trade

The downward trend of staple
prices has been the most pro-
nounced feature of the grocery
trade during the past two weeks.
Two declines have been registered
in flour, bringing quotations down
to the lowest level in over three
years. Other lines of cereals have
reflected the reaction measurably,
while sugar, coffee and tea have
all gone off appreciably. Trade
is holding comparatively steady.
We are doing a fair volume of
business in regular lines.
In the sugar market the under
tone is decidedly weak. While the
San Francisco base, which dropped
at $1,000 short time ago, has
not at this writing been further
lowered, raws in New York have
reacted another half cent within
the week, indicating another drop
at the regular period Of readjust-
ment. Primary markets are very
quiet, with refiners operating on
hand-to-mouth basis, with holders
of raws inclined to concessions,
under pressure of financial re-
quirements and the weak position
of the market.
Coffee is still in very unstable
and unsatisfactory position. from
the standpoint of holders. While
speculative operations are within
a restricted range and indetermi-
nate in result, the market would
seem to have struck rock bottom
at primary. centers, which register
decline from pre-war levels and
an actual loss to producers and
handlers of appreciate proper
tions.
Canned goods operations contin-
ue on a hand-to-mouth basis, but
packing interests insist that
canned goods are good property
and that holdings will be in de-
nland at full prices after the turn
of the year.
Flour is now retailing in single
sack lots at $2.75 per sack.
rTvpv
The new price of 12c per pound
for sugar is less than half of what
it sold for during the early part of
the summer, but it is not advisable
to lay in your supply just yet, as
we are looking for a lower mar
ket.
We have. readjusted our feed
prices again this week. Please
look them over before buying else
where.
Smoked meats followed the
slump in the hog market and we
have cut out retail price 5 cents
per pound.
We have added to our stock
