NEW YORK. Dec. 1s.--"Frank
Chances release will be promulgated
In a later National league bulletin"
sad President Thomas J. Lynch to-
day. II have received formal notice
from President Hen mann. of the Gin
cinnati club that Chance Is a free
agent" This announcement will not
surprise persons who have had an
inside lire on the Chance case ever
since It was decided TO get him out
OF the National league and into the
American as manager of the High
1anders. But some individuals have
jumped at the conclusion that Chance
will not come here after all because
Herrmanns notice OF release has not
been officially promulgated. Lynch
did not refer to the Chance case In
official bulletin No. 20. which he Is
sued yesterday.
As matter OF fact Hermann has
protected the interests OF President
Farrell, of the Highlanders. in help
Ing him to swing the big deal. Herr
mann paid $500 to c. w. Murphy
for Chances release by the waiver
route. and will be reimbursed by the
New York magnate just as soon as
Chance has signed a contract The
settlement OF this detail L. a
private matter and nothing will be
known until Chance formally has
been declared the manager of the
local American league team. Chance
has been so fiagrantly misquoted by
somebody In Les Angeles that he has
decided to stop talking and will keep
his departure for the East a secret IL
possible. Chance knew last October
that Farrell wanted him and that a
deal would be made for his services.
Furthermore 1t lis learned that Chance
privately assured certain baseball men
not identified with ether major league
that he was ready to go through with
hts part Of the transaction as soon
as the New York clubs right to nego-
tiate with him had been established.
While Farrell has declined TO re-
ceive credit for engineering the big
deal. the Sun has Information that

POLITICAL NOTES.

The official call has been issued for the
republican State convention to be held in
Bangor April 10.
The republicans of Bangor have again
nominated Charles F. Sweet for mayor,
while the democrats have renominated
Charles w. Mullen.
In the legislative class under the new
apportionment, as printed in THE AMERI-
CAN the past two weeks, there were a few
errors which have been corrected in the
list as printed this week.
The announcement published in some
papers to the effect that Charles FL. Wood,
of Bar Harpor, and Bedford E. Tracy, of
Winter Harbor, were candidates for the
republican nomination for senator from
Hancock county, was unauthorized. Both
gentlemen informed The AMERICAN to-
day that they were not in the field against
DIR. Patten.
DIR. j. HI. Patten, formerly of Amherst,
now of Bar Harbor, is out for the nomina-
tion for State senator from the eastern
part of Hancock county. DR.. Patten has
served in the House. He was the republic
can candidate for senator from the eastern
section of the county in 1910, but fell "out-
side the breastworks" together with the
rest of the county ticket in the overturn Of
that year.

SOIL DRAINAGE,

Its Importance In Certain Kinds of
Farming Soils.
There are heavy clay soils, sandy soils
and muck soils. Heavy clay soils have a
tendency to pack, thereby necessitating
special cultivation. 1t is mistake to
pillow clay soils when not in proper mois-
ture condition; even a single blowing of a
| too-wet clay soil will show bad effect for
a number of years. 1t is important that
there be an abundance of vegetable matter
| near the surface.
Drainage, too, is Of prime Importance.
1t is natural for clay soils to retain mois-
ture, which permits them to puddle easily
| if worked when wet. The drainage is
very effective.
Crops and rotations must be chosen
with special view to the character of the
land. Clover and timothy grow album
dainty on clay, and small grains, includ-
! ing oats, barley and wheat, are well
adapted to such land. The rotation on
clay fields should include clovers, small
grains and titled crops, such as corn and
! potatoes. To maintain fertility ii is
matter by turning under an occasional
second crop of clover or other legume, as
well as by using all available manure.
Clay soils rarely contain much humus.
The supply of phosphorus is also limited
and should be increased by the addition
of phosphate fertilizer experimenting
farm manure.
oll ~ tak -,
sandy soils is valuable, as it is required to
increase the er-hoiding capacity as
we'll as to add fertility. In the pro-
duction of sandy soils, water frequently is
the limiting factor, due to the texture Of
the sandy soil as we'll as a lack of veget-
able matter. The fertility needs of sandy
soils are nitrogen, phosphorus and potash.
The average sandy soil contains only one
third TO one-half as much fertility as clay
loans.
Legumes are beneficial because they
supply the needed nitrogen as well as
humus. The use of lime on sandy soils,
which are very commonly acid, will aid in
securing stand of alfalfa and clovers.
Rotations must be chosen so as to increase
In6 amount Oi NtEcthOAS IlathCE pTO-
vide a legume crop to cover the soil at
least one year in very three years.
Thorough drainage of marsh soils is the
initial step toward improvement. Special
cultivation is needed by such lands.
Heavy rolling, by packing the loose peat
! soil, produces firmer seed bed.
I Marsh soils are rich in nitrogen but are
deficient in phosphorus and potash
Barnyard manure will supply these eie-
ments, but it is more economical to apply
it to the uplands and use commercial
fertilizers on the marshes. The soil is
frequently in need OF lime to correct
acidity. There are crops that are best
adapted to marsh lands. Corn, potatoes,
garden truck and timothy and alsike for
hay are best.
