Pirates At Top Of P<my League The Pirates of the Pony League climbed into first place this week by virtue of wins on both Monday and Wed nesday nights. The Pirates defeated the Tigers on Monday night in a nine-inning game and won over the Senators on Wednesday night. The Cardinals bowed to the Senators Monday night and defeated the Tigers on Wed nesday night. In Wednesday night opening game the Pirates defeated the Senators 6 to 4 in a fast game that lasted only about an hour and a half. David Brantley was the winning pitcher and M. J. Stegall was the loser. The Cardinals defeated the Tigers 15 to 8 in an error filled game, marked by many walks on the part of both pitch ers. The game, which lasted for more than two hours, was a close affair except for a disastrous second inning for the Tigers. The Tigers, which play ed their best game of the sea son on Monday night, made a promising start as they took a 1 to 0 lead in the first inning. But the Cardinals struck back In the bottom of the second Inning and pushed 11 runs across the plate in a route marked by a large number of walks by the Tiger pitcher and lack of support from his team mates. Following the poor second, the Tigers settle down and chipped away at the Cardinals, who began to allow walks and make fielding errors. At the bottom of the sixth the Cardin als led 15 to 6, but the Tigers held the Cardinals scoreless in the bottom of the sixth and pushed across two runs in the top of the seventh to cut the lead to 15 to 8. Benny Hilliard was the win ning pitcher and Carroll was the loser. MONDAY'S GAMES The Tigers, seeking their first win of the season, on Monday night almost pulled It off as they battled the Sena tors tor nine lull innings In the second game before bow ing 4 to 2. The under dog Tigers, which have picked up considerable fan support, played their best ball of the season as they of fered the Senators a real chal lenge. They shut out the Sena tors tor six Innings behind the mound work of Phillip Lynch, and In the bottom of the six, Matthew Crinkley Dies In New Jersey Matthew Crinkley, 69, of Al lendale, N.

In the top of the ninth, the Senators sent two runs across the plate for what proved to be the winning runs, as Ker mlt Copley shut out the Tigers in the bottom of the ninth. In the first game Monday night, the Cardinals offered little opposition to the Tribe.

Although the Cardinals man aged to have the bases loaded on twoor mere occasions, they were held to the two runs they picked up early in the game.

No games were played on July 4. The Braves defeated the Test Program Provides Help To Farmers It's not that the farmer is particularly hard headed or slow to change, he just likes to be shown why one method of fertilizing tobacco or con trolling suckers is better than another. That's what the on-farm testing program of the North Carolina Agricultural Exten sion Service Is all about. It shows the farmer, either on his own farm or on a neigh bor's, that there may be a better way of doing things. On-farm testing is a teach ing method and has been shown to be one of the most effec tive ways of relaying new information to the farmer, according to Dr. George Hyatt, Jr., state extension director. "The tests not only benefit the farmer and agriculture in general, but they also provide data to supplement that complied by our research scientists In their experi ments on research farms," Dr. Hyatt pointed out. The tests are actually scientific demonstrations of research findings. They are designed by extension special ists and research scientists. A county agricultural agent and his county or commun ity agricultural committee se lect one or more of the tests for their area. In the case of tobacco, there are 20 tests to select from. These Include fertilization, weed and sucker control, va riety and replanting tests and others. Tobacco specialists S. N. Hawks and W. K. Collins work with the agent and the farm er cooper ator In setting up the test plots. The agent then takes over supervision of the plot and assists the farmer in maintaining records. "The test Is there for all the farmers In the community to Inspect and watch as the crop grows," Dr. Collins ex plains. "We have found that when a grower and his neigh bors see an improved prac tice demonstrated in their community in a scientific manner, they are quick to adopt It." Some 114 replicated on farm tobacco tests were con ducted In 41 counties through out the flue-cured growing area In 1966. Collins or Hawks visits each of these tests at least four times during the growing season to chart pro gress and answer any ques tions the farmer or agent may have. Altar the tobacco is har vested and sold, the special ists summarize the data col lected from all the farm tests and Incorporate this In an annual publication that Is made available to growers through out the state. Collins and Hawks also use this Informa tion in their series at annual winter meetings bald tor farmers in each county. This Is where the production prac tices lor the nest crop are dis cussed for the growers' bane ftf.
