CHEMICAL FERTILIZERS PLANT

Government Control

INITIAL CAPITAL ISTM

FIXED AT $300.000

Hangchow: To check the enor- 'mous annual import of chemical fertilizers, which has drained large sums of money from China's coffer. the Cheklang and Kiangsu provin- c.al authorities have jointly adopt- ed a policy of Government control over the manufacture and distri bution of chemical fertilizers.

As a result of a recent conference held in Shanghal between repre- scntatives of the two provinces, a Chemical Fertilizers Plant will be Established to centralize the manu- facture and distribution of the impregnating mater als. The con- ference was attended by Mr. Ma Shou-cheng, represending he Che- klang government, and Messrs, Tseng Tat-kuan,

Meng-lin. Chang Tai-yi and Hu Tu-ming. representing the Kangsu govern-

ment

LA

According to tentative plans out- ined as the conference, the plant will be a commercial enterprise under Government supervision. Its initation cost has been, fixed at $300 000 to be borne equally by the China Agricultural Bank on behalf of Chekiang and the Farmers Bank on behalf of Klangs.

THIRD TIME, LUCKY

The third time was lucky for Miss Pam Barton, and after being in the final for the last two years the cate to her throns as Lady Champion yesterday at the paratively mature age of 19. She beat Miss Bridget Newell by seven holes up and five today, and there could be no sort of doubt that the better golfer won.

It is odd how, after she had been trumpeted for two years as an in- tant phenomenon, nobody this year began by paying any attention to Miss Barton's chances, Yet she is anquestionably a better golfer than she has ever been before, though not yet so good as the will be. She has everything in her favour! great

Moreover she has the true champion's gift of. playing just well enough and of managing to win even when she is Inlaying badly.

A VALIANT STRUGGLE

Sympathy is due to Miss Newell, who played her best game a little too early in this tournament and has been palpally struggling to re- capture the inspiration of it dur ing the last two days. She is per- haps a little too slap-dash, but she has a fine game in her and plays with fret and cheerfulness, She would have made a closer match of it earlier in the week, but that she could ever beat Miss Barton over 36 Boirs doubt. time to do it, for the new cham pion, having eace broken a spell, will take d prodigious deal, of heating in a long match over a long course

The manager, Mr. Harry Curtis, told me by telephone this after- roon that the description of yes- terday's game as "the dirtest he had ever seen" was perfectly cor-

The first round was, if the truth be told, rather drak and dull till it was relieved by a spark of ex- vitement at the last three holes. Both ladies drove well, with nothing in it in point of length. but after the tee shots, there were good many mistakes What with International Matches and Qulify- ing Rounds both had been hard at it for more than a week and must have been feeling the effects..

For 18 holes had the impres sion, with which others might not agree, that Miss Barton was wast- ing more chances than Miss Newell and aght to have got her nose well in front instead of having a bare lead. Ther: she carried off the i last two holes and put thing to rights.

The firet two holes were halved. Miss Barton in each case boling a valuable putt. She holed another to win the third, but she lost the fourth to a nice 4. Her real chance cams (and was thrown away) at the eighth and ninth. Being one up she had two putta to win t eighth and took three and she did exactly the same thing at the ninth. Fate and Miss Newell let her off at the 10th, but still a distinct chance of drawing away bad ob- iously passed and she still had no more than her lead of one hole with three to "Gumbley's" cheered us all up when we were feeling cold and depressed, for first Miss Barton and then Miss Newell holed a good putt for 4.
