SOTVEDT WINS jfOMFINO CROWN Denis Nelson was the best o t .bbing 10 PLANT CERTIFIED SEED POl'A'rOKS I 'D GET BEST RESULTS ( 'fhere is far too much disease and poor quality in the table potato crop of Canada to please either the consumer or the pro­ ducer, stateH John Tuoker, Plant Protection Division, Dominion Department of Agriculture?. One big mistake the table potato grower sometimes makes is to think' that any potatoes of good appearance will make good seed tubers. That is not the case, for apparent soundness of the tubers constitutes no guaranty of freedom from disease, for po­ tatoes may carry virus diseases which cannot be recognized in the tuber but which neverthe­ less seriously affect the yield and quality of the crop. The only way to be sure of seed that is prac­ tically free of the.se troubles is to buy oertillcd seed. Certified seed are potatoes that., , have been grown, expressly , for . seed purposes. They are of good type, from vigorous plants and . are true to variety. They have been inspc*cted during the grow­ ing .season for diseases, andijnusi conform to definite .seed .stand­ ards, both in the field arid after ries official recognition of seed ^br-^such-secd Three of the Northwest's vet- ' .eran ski riders gathered major honors In the Red Cross" ski- jumping tournament on Holly- burn Ridge Sunday. Henry Sotvedt, Vancouver Ski Club ace, won the "A" class com­ petition by combining llawless style with leaps of 83 feet for a point total of 210.1. Hjarlam Hvam, the "Portland Express" from Portland, placed second with 205.2. He turned in jumps of 84 and 83 feet, but lost out on form to the stylish Sot- , vedt. Ole Tvei'dal of Seattle Ski Club, took third spot with 203.8. T h ^ s e .seasoned competitors found the small trestle very handy and proceeded to give the younger lads a few pointer.s. healthy margin, grabbing more, points (194.2) than Paul Strom, another Vancouver Ski Club skier. Russ White of the HoHybum Pacifio White, came down from the trestle with t̂ nlrd place. Doug Marwick, a Tyee, was fourth. Skiers and spectators, nuin- bering over 1000, stood with b^red heads in a minute's silence in memory of Erling Jorgensen Norwegian flyer, who was killed in a flying accident here Friday. Jorgensen was to have comiieled Sunday and his name appeared on the programme with the A. ciass jumpers. Commander 0. Rinimlap and two of Erling's comrades of the Royal Norwegian Naval Air Force here were on the moun- a U E E N G IV E S H E R N A M E T O F U N D F O R A I R R A ID and no other type of label car­ ries oflcial recognition of seed potatoes. If the official tag is not on every container the po- totoes should not be accepted as certified seed. When buying seed it is the buyer's privilege, if he pays more than regular table stock prices, to demand the of­ ficial tag? otherwise he may get only table potatoes withHPio reli­ able assurance whatever that they are free from virus dis­ eases. il •5* I Be«id« the Point Defence lawyer--"̂But how could this man be guilty of^forgery, when he can't even lyrit'e his own nam e?"'

Dahl was credited with 199.9 points, just a*fraction more than lm1iirwlrilFtlT(rPriircetoi^ ist was a point up on Robinson. Art Johnson, .Pacific North­ west "champion, was down to fourth place in the "A" division, a n d Karl Baaksvik, former Olympic skier, competing in his first tournament this year, fin­ ished fifth. The" "A" class fight was so close that less than 10 points separated the first six men. Juniors aiid "C" class per­ formers turned in some of the classiest-efforts of the day. The ■junior dompetition was won by Roy Farrell, from Revelstoke. He.made two fine, jumps of 74 and 75 feet to n'ose out a Revel­ stoke boy, Ernie Gniffith. Grif­ fith's longest hop-was 79 feet, blit he lacked Farrelfs technique.
